Long-time Genesis Health + Fitness Windsor member Deb has never felt better – or stronger.
The 49-year-old mother of two – who has been part of our fitness community since 2011 – says she’s undergone a complete mind-and-body reset after taking part in our eight-week Transformation Challenge, which began on October 13.
Deb increased her training to up to six days a week, with her morning routine including regular Coaching Zone and gym sessions.
And the end result is amazing – with Deb not only hitting her personal goals but smashing them!
“While I’ve done other challenges, I really decided to take this one seriously – I wanted to do well,” she says.
“I set myself some goals – I wanted to lose five centimetres off my waist over the eight weeks and ended up losing ten centimetres which was fantastic. I’ve lost about four kilograms in body weight.
“I also wanted to lift heavier weights .. and by the end of the challenge, my bench press had increased by 10kilograms to 40kg, and my deadlifts by 20kg – from 60 to 80kgs. So basically, in both exercises, the weights increased by about a third.
“I’m feeling a massive sense of achievement and while I’ve always enjoyed coming here, I’ve been given a huge incentive to keep doing my absolute best.”
Deb attributes some of her challenge success to being able to follow a structured plan combining strength training, cardio and mobility, nutritional guidance and a “wonderful community that had my back”.
“The entire Coaching Zone team has been brilliant,” she says. “They are so supportive and encouraged not only me, but everyone who took part in the challenge (which finished on December 7).”
As our dedicated member for December, Deb receives one month’s free membership and a $50 supplement voucher, thanks to .supplementmart
Congratulations Deb!
