Michael and Katrina Foster
Hi………Michael and Kate Foster here.
We would like to tell you about our weight loss journey which started at the end of November 2020. One morning my Kate and I looked at each other and decided we wanted to do something about our weight to improve our health. I had a bad heart and Kate a bad Knee. I weighed 122 kg and Kate weighed 116 kg.
For the first month, we modified our eating and used some meal replacement products. We then joined Ifitness at Coolalinga where we initially attended about 5 days a week then increased to 7 days. For the first 7 months, we mainly did cardio sessions.
Whilst at the gym we observed Peter Smith (Personal Trainer) and his co-trainer Jo Rogers training regular gym clients. Seeing the results these clients were achieving we thought it would be beneficial for our weight loss journey to obtain some professional advice and engage them for some training sessions. We set up and an initial session to discuss how our journey might look and how to achieve it. After that, I trained with Peter and Kate trained with Jo.
We set ourselves a goal in life and with the support of Peter and Jo we are confident in continuing our journey in health and fitness. They are very approachable, understanding and always encouraging. They respect and listen to our opinions, concerns and questions and fit the training to our individual needs. We would recommend Peter and Jo to anyone who wants to improve their health. Their approach is very rounded and incorporates mindset and food choices as well as exercise. Peter has many years of experience in the industry, which he is now passing on to Jo.
It is never too late to change what you want out of life; you just have to have a positive attitude and confidence in yourself. I have lost over 40 kg and Kate has lost over 35 kg. With our weight loss and increased energy levels, we have amazed ourselves with what we can do now. We are a lot fitter and have done things we thought we would never be able to do; it is such an incredible feeling.
We hope we have motivated you into trying to improve your mental and physical health. Please feel free to come and chat with Kate and I about our weight loss journey or contact Peter Smith or Jo Rogers at the I-Fitness Coolalinga.
