Client Profile - Kaley

Kaley works in PR and is a new convert to the benefits of exercising regularly. I caught up with Kaley recently to ask her about her experiences with Mark...

How long have you been having the outdoor personal training sessions for?
I’ve been doing outdoor personal training sessions with Mark since August this year.

Why did you start personal training with Mark at Peak? What was holding you back from starting sooner?
I’d tried to commit to a proper workout schedule all year, but I kept making excuses and finding ways to get out of going to the gym. So I thought I’d try using a personal trainer – someone who would keep me accountable. I had to decide if I was really going to commit to getting fit and healthy. I hadn’t started personal training sooner because I thought I could do it on my own. Since that obviously wasn’t working, I got up enough courage to do the one-on-one training sessions instead. There’s no hiding and no excuses.

What have your results been like?
My results have been really good, and it’s a work in progress. I’ve lost over 10kg since August and lost 8.5cm from my waistline. I’ve also increased my fitness levels dramatically - I could barely do a push up before I started and wheezed my way through the first training session like I had asthma (which I don’t!). Now, I feel energetic and empowered after a training session and I’m noticing changes in my mood, I’m feeling much healthier and I have a closet full of newly baggy clothes!

What do you like most about training with Mark?
I like that there are no excuses - Mark asks the hard questions. And he doesn’t just care about the training; he wants to know about the food I’m eating and how I’m feeling in general. It’s holistic. I also like that, even though he doesn’t yell at me (I’d always imagined personal trainers yelling at their lazy subjects), I’m still a bit scared of him which is just extra motivation during the week to do the things I’m supposed to do!

Would you recommend Mark?
Absolutely!
