Find Out How Ang Tarrant Got Motivated, Confident and Smashed Her Fitness Goals

Q. How long have you been a member of Bodyfix:

A: Nearly 2 years

Q. What was your fitness journey like prior to Bodyfix/what prevented you from joining a gym in the past

A: My fitness before Bodyfix was sporadic. I had shifted to the area after earthquake-related problems. At the time I found life just a bit tough and couldn’t find the motivation to get to the gym.

 Q. What attracted you to Bodyfix/what motivated you to start

A: It is not far from home and a few people I had spoken to said how good it was. How right they were!

 Q. Have you been training with a trainer/been involved in classes

A: I got a PT straight away. Carolynne! Carolynne is tough and mean and the best medicine I have had!  Her encouragement and support through the last couple of years have been awesome. This year I have started Spin classes – which I loathe! Again it is such a great class as it is helping me with my fitness! I am looking at doing Yoga next. I have also done Pump class – I enjoyed this however it ended up clashing with other activities outside Bodyfix.

 Q. What kind of goals did you have before you started/what are your goals now

A: At the start – Goals were to –  Get Fit and lose weight, also become healthier also get some confidence back! Now – it is to – Get Fitter, I  still wish to lose weight, become even more healthy in my everyday eating. My confidence has improved so much – thanks to the Bodyfix Team!

Q. What is your life like now that you have experienced Bodyfix/what benefits have you experienced

A: I feel so much better about myself and my life.  Going to Bodyfix gives me a boost in my day that makes me feel great! I feel energised and inspired by the positive vibe at the gym! 

Q.What have been your greatest achievements

A: I couldn’t say there has been one greatest achievement.  I get surprised by the weights that Carolynne makes me lift. That gives me a buzz as I would never think I could do it! However, overall it’s my greatest achievement is just feeling so much more confident!

Q.What surprised you the most about being a member

A: It is just so easy being a member of Bodyfix and I find it relatively inexpensive compared to other gyms.  It is a great gym to belong to. 

Q.If you were to recommend us, what would you say to others

A: It is without hesitation that I recommend Bodyfix – often.  Moo and her team are the best! They make you feel like you are part of their gym family! It is the first gym I have been to that actively support groups within our community that need help such Mental Health and SPCA to name a few.  I think this is awesome! Bodyfix has a core vibe of genuine empathy and support, this speaks of great values and respect for others –  which is why I enjoy Bodyfix so much. It is the Gym that gives much more! Thanks, Bodyfix – you have made a huge difference in my life!
