I feel happier and more confident than I have in a long time!

When I started with Personal Challenge Fitness in April 2012, I had hit the 100kg mark and was feeling pretty miserable  I decided this was the point where I really needed to do something for my sake and for and my family. I’m the father of 4 young kids and wanted better quality time with them and my wife.  A relative was doing boot camp with PCF and recommended I come along (one evening during a boozy home cooked thai meal at my place).  A few wines in, and I agreed to give it a go. Next morning he arrived to pick me up, and I went off feeling less than 100% from the nights before excesses. That 1^st session was one of the toughest things I had ever done! I was hung over, my body screamed, but I got through it. I figured that’s as hard as it will be, and I made it. I decided to return the following week, thinking about how I would be able to run, jump, and wrestle with my active kids. 16 months on I have just completed my first 10km fun run, and am so proud to have done it in just over an hour!  Not bad for a first go!  This was a far cry from my previous smoking, drinking and poor food choices lifestyle.  So far I lost over 15kg and 2 clothes sizes (shirts down from XXL to L, and pants from 102 down to 92). I feel happier and more confident than I have in a long time. At Personal Challenge fitness I have not only improved myself, but I have met some of the best people you could meet and made some great new friends. Everyone is supportive, encouraging and inspiring. They all welcome you into their boot camp family, and I have never felt like an outsider. Matt constantly varies our training and does the occasional “mystery location” session to keep things interesting. He is friendly, supportive and encouraging (without any yelling), and he is genuinely interested in your results and helping you to achieve your fitness goals. Matt has become both a friend and a trainer. I still have many goals to achieve, but my health (both mental and physical), my fitness, and my attitude towards life in general has changed forever, for the better. I look forward to continuing with Matt and Personal Challenge Fitness.
