I had not used a personal trainer before. I operate my own business and sit at a computer for long sessions. I was on 104kg at age 43. I am an asthmatic. I did not feel great. I walked for 9 months every day for 1 hour, and although my fitness level mildly improved the weight just stayed. When I joined with CompletePStudio it only took about 10 weeks for me to lose almost 10 kgs. I was shocked. I dreaded getting up each morning from exhaustion from the working week. After a pt session I feel like I can get through the day and feel good as well, especially after laughing so much from being challenged with attitude. I am a healthy, happier and more organised person. Thanks Adam. I am seriously shocked at the results. D Johnston

After wanting to walk the Kokoda track for many years, I finally booked it . I had trained with Adam for a while and set many goals with him along the way but this was yet to be my biggest. I told Adam about what I was wanting to do and he never doubted me along the way. Adam put together a training program for me and each week we worked on preparing my body and my mind for the track in August. I felt myself becoming stronger physically and mentally . In August this year I completed the track and I could not have been more prepared. The track was very challenging but I did it and I was able to take on anything that the track dealt me and enjoy it at the same time. On reflecting on my experience I feel proud of myself to have achieved the goal that I set , I also recognise that without Adam's support, dedication ,motivation and training program I wouldn't have experienced Kokoda the way I did.

After visiting a couple of local gyms and PT's I was almost ready to quit fitness. I checked up on Adam and found him to be probably what I needed. He made me understand what I needed to do, and made it clear why I had not been succeeding prior to this. He told me what I needed to hear, not what I wanted to hear. 10kg later and I am very happy.

I was a very unfit person and needed someone to kick my butt into shape. I found Adam and he was really understanding and patient with me as I don't pick things up quickly. He helped me get fitter and stronger and I also built my confidence up with some of his great advice. I believe that I can succeed now, even when I train on my own. Thanks. Harriet

After being a pack-a-day smoker for 20 years, I quit about 12 months ago, and started putting on weight. Seeing the results my wife was achieving with Adam, I decided to give it a tilt. I'd always played team sport, but formal fitness training had never been my thing. With Adam's help I now enjoy fitness training, whether that be lifting weights or running, and I'm the fittest I've been since leaving high school. Michael

I came to see Adam 10-15 kgs overweight. I had tried losing weight under my own steam, but with limited success, and I always put the weight back on again. Adam taught me how to find time to exercise - making fitness a priority rather than an afterthought. He also gave me invaluable advice on my diet - when, why and what to eat. I lost 10kgs and am now maintaining a weight that I am happy with. After being a size 16 for many years, I recently bought a size 10 dress! Thanks Adam. Serena

After struggling with shoulder problems for a number of years and after trying many types of physical therapy one thing was clear, I lacked motivation to make a positive physical lifestyle change. To add to this my 'relaxed' lifestyle and poor eating habits had me putting on more kilos than I felt comfortable with. So I turned to our 'friendly neighbourhood personal trainer'. Yes its true. While he might not advertise the friendly part, for me, he has been crucial to the success I now enjoy. I'm stronger than I have ever been, I'm happy with my weight and have a dependable training partner to encourage and push me even if my body is begging me to stop! GB

Part 1/5 - When I first met Adam I was a sad, broken person. My biggest goal I hoped to achieve was to walk with my head up ? not constantly looking down at the ground wherever I went because I was embarrassed to look people in the eye. I was always the girl with the pretty face, just a shame about the figure. I was sorely lacking self confidence, self esteem and probably more importantly, self respect. I had tried everything ? diets, fads, exercise. I?d successfully move a little of my weight (because that?s where all my goals seemed to be centred at that time), but after a short period of time, it always came creeping back on. The most time passed, the more depressed I became. Of course, I was really good at hiding it ? people always thought of me as a happy, enthusiastic person. Good old AJ ? always good for a laugh and dependable. AJ

Part 2/5 - The turning point for me wasn?t when Adam told me he?d train me, but rather when we had our initial assessment at the studio. Adam got me to stand in front of a mirror and tell him one thing that I saw that I liked about myself. Overwhelming sadness ripped through me (and still does to this day) at the thought. I couldn?t name a single thing that I saw in that reflection that I liked. Not a single thing. With that I promptly burst into tears. Fortunately for me, Adam did tell me something that he saw that he liked. That was my turning point. AJ

Part 3/5 - I started training after that ? but it was more that than. With Adam?s help, guidance and motivation I began to take steps forward. We set realistic goals that I could achieve. I began to strive for things I hadn?t done before. One of my fitness goals was to finish a run second last instead of last. Huge effort required ? but can I tell you the day I went from last to second last ? it was amazing! My confidence escalated and I felt pretty proud of myself. With continued hard work, dedication and Adam?s motivation I can gladly say that I?m no longer at the back of the pack. My proudest fitness moment was the day that I wore my CPTS training shirt to my work. That day meant that I had achieved so many goals that I had been striving for. It was a proud moment for me. AJ
