My journey with Vision Bangor began after a challenging period in my life. Following a fall from my bike that resulted in a fractured leg and torn knee ligaments, I found myself in a difficult place. My motivation was at an all-time low, I struggled with my self-image, and I felt uncomfortable in my own skin. Exercise seemed impossible, my health took a backseat, and I often found myself overeating to cope.

Stepping into Vision Bangor was a big leap for me. It was my first time entering a gym, and everything—weights, personal training, and even food tracking—was unfamiliar. Despite my nervousness, I took the plunge. Now, fast forward just four months, and the results have been nothing short of life-changing.

I have made remarkable progress, shedding 15kg and reaching my goal weight far earlier than I anticipated. My body composition has significantly improved, and I’ve dropped two dress sizes. This weight loss has alleviated the pressure on my injured knee, enhanced my energy levels, and greatly boosted my self-confidence.

This transformation wouldn’t have been possible without the guidance and support of my personal trainer, Jack C. His unwavering encouragement, expertise, and belief in my potential have pushed me to achieve goals I never thought possible. Jack’s approach has been both supportive and challenging, ensuring that I stay on track and exceed my expectations.

The Vision Personal Training process has been a game-changer for me. Attending all the seminars has equipped me with valuable knowledge and practical tools to achieve my goals. Tracking my food and setting a consistent training schedule have kept me disciplined and motivated. Increasing my weight training sessions and maintaining 20,000 steps daily has become a part of my routine, while boxing classes have added an exciting element to my fitness journey.

The secret to my success has been consistency. With each passing day, I feel stronger, healthier, and more empowered. I’m grateful to my fellow gym members, newfound friends, and the incredible trainers who have made my experience so enjoyable. Their camaraderie and support have been instrumental in rediscovering my strength and confidence.

Looking back, I wish I had started this journey sooner. Today, I feel like my old self again, ready to take on new challenges—including a half marathon with my kids! Vision Bangor has not only helped me transform physically but also reignited my passion for living life to the fullest.
