How Boost Fitness started…
During 2010/11 I lost 45kg. I then completely stepped out of my comfort zone and went back to full-time education to qualify as a personal trainer. My reason for wanting to train others was simple. After spending my entire adult life with food issues and being overweight I wanted to pass on some of the motivation that had got me through my weight loss journey, and to share my experience by helping others achieve their goals. So, to achieve this, Boost Fitness was founded. I started working in a commercial gym as a personal trainer and boxing instructor, but soon got frustrated by waiting for equipment during sessions. It also became apparent that quite a few of my clients felt a little uncomfortable working out in the middle of a busy gym.
Our Personal Training Studio
Therefore, the decision was made to start up a private PT studio where my clients would have complete privacy. We invest in only the best equipment for our clients to use. Everything in our PT studio is commercial grade as you would see in larger gyms and frequently updated.
In late 2012, as Boost Fitness thrived, my husband, Greg came on board after losing over 30kg himself. He closed his existing company and re-trained to qualify as personal trainer and boxing instructor. After previously leading a sedentary lifestyle, Greg discovered a love for strength training and running which has continued to grow over the years. He realised quickly that age is a number and not a barrier, a belief he is keen to pass on to our clients. Greg is now the primary personal trainer at Boost Fitness.
What makes our personal trainer different?
Because of our own lifestyles, we have first-hand experience of what it feels like to live your life as an overweight person. The judgements, along with physical and mental challenges that accompany being overweight. We will never pretend it is an easy road but it is one worth following. At boost fitness, we never shout at clients to push harder or let them leave a session feeling they failed. Our belief is that personal trainers should encourage people to realise their own bodies potential.
LISA MOORE – Founder/Manager
My name is Lisa and as a mum in her 40’s I realised there was more to life than being unhappy with my weight. So I chose to make some changes and finally do something about it. For most of my adult life, I have been a serial ‘dieter’. Although I felt I worked hard and lost weight, it would normally go back on – sound familiar?
After nearly 20 years of virtually no exercise, it was not easy getting my body to work hard. That first day starting out my confidence was pretty much zero. Mentally it was even tougher…if you have ever come up with an excuse not to exercise or go to the gym I guarantee I will have used it first!
Slowly I started to see results and could push myself harder as my fitness increased. Just one year on I had lost 40kg and drop from a size 24 to a size 12. No gimmicks, no magic potions or pills, no restricted diets – just healthy options and moving about more.
My love of the human body took another step further after retraining to become an RN. I now have a less active role in Boost Fitness, passing the reigns to my husband to continue the good work with our clients.
GREG MOORE – Primary Personal Trainer
After watching my wife turn her life around and lose 45kg I also started to make switches to healthier choices. I started a more serious weights program at my local gym. By improving the way I ate and by increasing the amount of exercise I was doing I went on to lose 30kg myself. This resulted in me having more energy and feeling much better about myself.
During 2012 I made the decision to close the business I had worked in for all of my adult life. I qualified as a personal trainer and joined Boost Fitness full time.
I enjoy working with people, helping them to change their mindset so they can make the improvements they need too. Over the past few years I have seen some amazing transformations, proving that with the right guidance and little extra motivation, anything is possible. On a personal note, I have changed from somebody that never worked out to now running regularly between weight sessions proving change is possible.
