Michelle Thompson

Ever since Michelle Thompson returned to Vision Personal Training Wynyard, she has been an unstoppable force of determination. After facing some of the most challenging times in her life—including a cancer diagnosis at 60, significant weight gain, and debilitating arthritis—Michelle made a choice: to take control of her health.

Despite chronic pain in her knees and shoulders and the emotional toll of personal struggles, Michelle committed to transforming her life. With the unwavering support of her Vision trainers, she gradually regained her strength, mobility, and confidence.

Taking Control of Her Health

Michelle’s journey started with small steps. She began tracking her nutrition, making healthier food choices, and following a structured exercise program designed specifically for her needs.

"When I first walked back into Vision Wynyard, I could barely walk for five minutes without needing to stop. I had to rely on others to drive me around, and even social events became stressful because I had to ask if there was an escalator or lift," she recalls. But with the guidance and support of her Vision Personal Training trainer, Michelle started seeing incredible changes:

• Lost an inspiring 40kg
• Regained mobility, significantly reducing her knee pain
• Built strength, progressing from 2kg dumbbells to lifting confidently
• Went from barely walking to completing 20,000 steps a day

A Community of Strength and Support

Beyond the physical transformations, Michelle found something even more powerful at Vision: a community that uplifted her every step of the way. "I made so many new friends at the gym, and my medical team fully supported my exercise routine. They even nicknamed me the 'Gym Girl' because they saw the difference it made in my recovery!" Today, Michelle is cancer-free, in remission, and stronger than ever.

"Exercise Changed My Life"

For Michelle, exercise wasn’t just about fat loss—it was about regaining control, rebuilding strength, and living life to the fullest. "Not everyone is suited to the gym, but everyone can do something. Even a 5-minute walk can change how you feel that day. You may not feel like it at first, but starting slowly and building up is all it takes. Exercise absolutely changed my life, and today I'm healthier and happier than ever." - Michelle Thompson, Vision Personal Training Wynyard
