Having Hayley as my personal trainer has been one of the best investments I have ever made! However it was not a decision easily made. It literally took me months of back and forth should I, shouldn’t I’s until I finally plucked up the courage to go for it. During this indecisive stage Hayley was already there for me every step of the way. Hayley is so kind, non-judgemental, supportive and encouraging.
I originally decided I needed a personal trainer because I had hit 30 and my body was not what it used to be. I used to be active as a child/teenager, I was a dancer and surfed on a regular basis. As uni and work commitments took over, I did less and less towards my own health. My Mum has suffered with illness all her life and this was another big motivator for me to take control of my health. Apart from that I have a major life change rapidly approaching, I am moving out to the Caribbean to join my boyfriend who moved out there to work (I should mention I have only seen him once for a weekend in over a year!) I literally have all the motivation in the world to make a chance, it was now or never!
My initial goal was to loose weight and tone up to be bikini ready. That is still my goal and I am working towards it every day at my own pace, however my goal has been extended since I started training and this is not just a quick fix, it is my new way of life! What Hayley has done is help me build up from the very basics for nutrition, exercise and lifestyle changes so I am able to and want to train on my own.
I very soon realized that more importantly Hayley has helped me with the psychological barriers which have held me back for so many years. The, ‘I can’t do it because…(fill in your excuses)…’ Overcoming challenges that have restricted me in the past, helping me to see that it’s not scary and nothing bad is going to happen to me! Let me tell you, what a relief to find out NO ONE laughed at me when I went for a run! Imagine that! All this time spent worrying and finally the fears disappeared.
Important to mention, Hayley also worked closely with me to overcome an injury from a car accident. She tailor made a program for me. Her attention to detail, knowledge combined with her zest for life and happy personality really makes it a pleasure to train with her…not saying she’s a push over though, she will kick my butt when I need it! ? In all seriousness, I owe her a great deal ‘Thank You Hayley for helping me become a better version of myself’. For anyone reading this and thinking they can’t do it….seriously if I can do it, you can do it too. If Hayley can help me, she can definitely help you! Go for it and I wish you all the very best for your new, confident and happy life 🙂 xx
