A journey of a thousand miles must begin with one single step.

I didn't think I needed to change. I knew my health problems would improve if only I were a little fitter. With middle aged and an average build, I had accepted that this was what I had to expect. That no significant change was possible.

I started at Vision with my wonderful husband, as emotional support for his weight loss. Two years later I have gone from a size 16 to a size 10, lost over 10 kgs, and transformed my body shape. My physiotherapist, who saw me regularly in the past, recently commented on how surprised she was by my improved posture and muscle tone. Back and neck pain are mostly a thing of the past.

I've walked and run in 'fun runs', dramatically improved my aerobic fitness, and have been told I look years younger.

Change starts with one small step. Who knows where this change will take me next.
