Emma's journey
“My first month with Mind Body Motion has been an exciting one. I've met some wonderful, friendly and inspiring people – it has been great getting to know everyone. I have made the switch from a full time job in graphic design, to full time personal training which allows me to do something I am passionate about, as well as give me more time to fit in my own training.
Star client of the month - Glenn
Glenn’s wife Kimbalee lives next door to one of our clients and she knew of our training, and decided to come and try our Saturday morning class. She had discussed with us that her husband Glenn was interested in doing some personal training however it would have to be late in the evening as he was very busy at work. Glenn has a senior role within a finance company and long hours and a stressful role keep him extremely busy during the day. Kaz completed Glenn’s initial fitness assessment with him and his reasons for training were simple: to lose a little bit of weight (although he was not technically overweight), to improve the way he felt within himself overall from a health perspective, and to help manage his stress levels.
