Two years ago, for the first time in my life, my weight hit 60kg and even climbing up one flight of stairs was exhausting. I had neglected my health and fitness for too long – stress, years of late nights and frequent bingeing on comfort food inevitably led to my expanding waistline, low energy levels, and an even lower self-esteem. I was 36 years old but felt more like 50.
I knew that something had to be done, and getting myself back into shape was important for me. When I tried to exercise on my own, I was not motivated and I easily gave up at the first sign of strain. This became a vicious cycle that I did not know how to break.
That was when I met my Personal Trainer, Francis. He walked me through the various exercise machines and sat me down to discuss my goals. I was hesitant at first because I thought that Personal Training would mean many hours spent at the gym, and I was worried that my already tight schedule would get worse. Francis said something that made a difference, “All I need is your commitment of one hour per session, twice a week to reach your goals.” “Two hours a week to get my fitness back is all it takes? That I can do,” I thought to myself.
I started on a customised programme planned by Francis, and quickly realised my body was not used to the motions and my limbs did not quite move the way I hoped they would. I felt clumsy, slow and self-conscious.
Yet, I persevered and completed my sessions by treating them as business appointments, so no excuses! Furthermore, Francis was serious and committed about my fitness goals, and did everything he could to put me on the right track. He patiently explained the techniques and made sure I understood what I was achieving with each exercise. Each session was a joy to complete with his constant encouragement. Every 1 hour session at the club, felt like another victorious step towards gaining a better body and health.
