Jacky Yabsley

I joined Vision because I was desperately trying to lose weight for our wedding and in 2021 I was the heaviest weight I had ever been and it started to take a massive toll on my confidence. My first trainer, Rachel, really got me to fall in love with exercise (something I didn't think was possible for me). I was exercising 5 days a week and attended every class I could, but I lost only about 5kgs in 6 months which was deflating as I expected more from myself. Ultimately I couldn't get my eating habits under control. So I had decided, after some intense research and discussions with my Doctor, to get the Gastric Balloon procedure done in Feb 2022. The balloon regulates my cravings and restricts how much food I can eat in one sitting. It has been completely life changing and is ultimately the reason for my weight loss, however without my trainer Jack motivating me to hit strength goals (like hitting PB 200kg hip thrusts!), my partner Cameron who has supported this whole journey with me and the entire community at Vision, I don't think I would have been able to find the joy and motivation in this entire process. I've lost just over 20kgs now and I don't plan on stopping here, but the greatest part in all of this is I feel like myself again.
