Busy mother of two Brenda finally put herself first and now feels amazing. She lost 9kg and 20cm from her waist and has more energy than ever.

"I think the most impressive one is the waist girth, it went down 20cm over 3 months."

Could you tell us why you decided to start personal training with ATP?

I’m 37 years old and  a full time working mother of two. I’ve got two young children. A five year old and a one year old. And so the main motivation for me has actually been getting back into shape after the birth of my second child.

Have you trained before?

I have, it was really hard just to do it on my own. So obviously, I tried eating healthy on my own, you know, doing some exercise but wasn’t getting the results.

So at the end of the day, I thought, you know, I’ve got to invest the time for myself to get a proper trainer and come to the gym on a regular basis. And I never done weight training before so it was totally new to me.  That’s why I wanted a professional to guide me along the way.

What have your results been like?

In total I’ve lost 9kg. I never thought I could lose that much weight in that period of time. I think the most impressive one is the waist girth, it went down 20cm over 3 months. I just feel like a totally different person, to be honest.

"It's just been life changing, like in all aspects. It's not just my health, but I feel more energized."

What other benefits have you noticed?

It’s been like the best decision ever.

It’s just been life changing, like in all aspects. It’s not just my health, but I feel more energized to spend time with my kids.  At work I feel like I’m more effective, and efficient.

"We always prioritize, our family, our kids, our work. But really we need to do it for ourselves and not for anybody else. And it's totally worth it ."

What advice do you have for any one considering starting their own journey?

Everyone makes excuses and says, “I don’t have the time” you’ve got to just not make any excuses for yourself and do it for yourself and just make the time. Like for me, I think especially for working mothers and just mothers in general, spoil yourself. Put in the time for yourself.

We always prioritize, our family, our kids, our work. But really we should do this for ourselves and not for anybody else.  It’s totally worth and it translates into all the other aspects of your life.

"Everyone makes excuses and says, 'I don't have the time.' STOP maKING excuses, do it for yourself and make the time."

I have been training with Joey for just over 2 months now and it’s been life-changing! As a busy working mum of 2 and having done weights training before I was skeptical of what results I could achieve. But Joey has kept me super motivated and on track towards meeting my weight goals/fitness goals and I thoroughly enjoy each training session with Joey. Joey is personable, friendly, professional and I couldn’t have achieved the results with her! I’m so close to meeting my final goal and would recommend ATP and Joey to everyone If you're looking to get back in shape, gain strength, and feel your absolute best, I wholeheartedly recommend ATP and Megan in particular. She's the real deal, and I can't thank her enough for helping me achieve my goals.
