When Anne-Marie decided to start doing Mobile Personal Training, she had already lost 10 kg by herself but the weight loss had plateaued so she decided to get help from a Personal Trainer. She was then 77 kg and hated the way she felt, her legs were in unbearable pain every day from just walking and she knew she was not going to do any exercise on her own.
Changing body shape
For 29 years, Anne-Marie did ballet and dance, but for the last four years hadn’t done any of it and would love to get back in to dancing. She had first set a goal of getting back to her pre-baby weight of 55 kg, but has since realised that her body has changed after having a baby and now her goal is to have a healthy body shape and a size 8-10 in clothing. She will keep going until she reaches her goal and then hopefully she will feel comfortable to start dancing again.
Dropping 3 sizes and managing anxiety
Since starting Personal Training Anne-Marie has lost another 7 kg, dropped from a size 16 to a size 12 (almost 10) in pants and a size 10 in top. She says her overall fitness has improved dramatically and she is more aware of what she eats and how it impacts her body. Anne-Marie has suffered from Bipolar for the past 18 years, she finds that her moods have stabilised and her trainer Eli King has helped her with breathing techniques during exercise that she has also been able to use in high anxiety situations.
Love/hate relationship
Anne-Marie says she honestly hates exercise, but having a Mobile Personal Trainer come to her house has made it a lot easier, and her son often joins in on the sessions as well. Seeing the results from the body transformation keeps her going. Her favourite exercise is anything where she gets to lay on the ground and the least favourite one is lunges when the legs turns to jelly!
Anne-Marie’s advice to anyone wanting to start Personal Training is “Find a trainer that suits your personality, otherwise you will give up on your goal and essentially give up on yourself.”
