My journey at Vision started out of a realization that I may not live to see my son grow up if I did not change my lifestyle.

In January 2014 I lost a close family member to heart disease and had already lost my own father at the young age of 46 to the same disease. I was walking the same path already weighing in at 110kg with high cholesterol and blood pressure problems. It was time !!

I met with the owner of Vision Personal Training Engadine on my 40th birthday in March 2014. I had already shed 10kg in 8 weeks and wanted support to build my fitness and education about lifestyle changes. Mostly I needed someone to keep me accountable and on track.

My Trainers at Vision kept me on task by staying in touch constantly. They helped me push through challenging times with injuries and apathy. With constant interaction, 18 months later I am 40kg lighter, medication free and I have reversed my risks by lowering my blood pressure and cholesterol to normal levels. The biggest shock of all is my love of exercise! Never in a million years would I have thought that I would enjoy running.

The sense of community with the clients and Trainers at Vision Personal Training is extraordinary. I have learnt life changing skills and don't ever intend on returning to my former lifestyle. Vision Personal Training has helped me change my life.
