Caroline - 2005 to Present
In the beginning of 2005 I was fat depressed and struggling with my fitness at karate classes. I finally admitted to myself that I was fat and needed help. I turned to Body Focus at Capalaba as in the first interview they made me feel comfortable and focused on my needs not on "what they do". My goals were simple I wanted to get fit enough to achieve my brown belt grading in July, and my long term goal was to fit comfortably into a size 12.
I would duck out at lunchtime from work for my workouts because I didn't want anyone to know I was going to the gym, not even my husband, in case I failed. Within 4 months I was ready for my brown belt grading and comfortably completed the fitness tests in July. Within 6 months I was a size 12.
The guys at Body Focus were fabulous they were supportive, informative and approachable. You set your goals and if you follow their suggestions achieving them is a lot easier than you expect. One step at a time.
I have now surpassed my goal weight and still losing bit by bit and getting fitter as each month goes by. Now I am confident, happy and full of energy. I look and feel younger and looking forward to my next goal – BLACK BELT. |

Stewart, Just a quick note to thank you for the use of your gym on the weekends. Photographing rugby league fulltime, I get to see a lot of gyms both here and overseas on Kangaroo tours.
It's always great though to work out at Bodyfocus when I'm up to do the Broncs or the Origin
Your gym has a great atmosphere and terrific staff and now we've worked out the best time to avoid the spandex botox body building crowd, it's up there with the most user friendly gyms I get to. Thanks again for maintaining such a facility, for both the equipment and the vibe.

Being a super cool fella is hard, but toughing it out in the Pump classes gave me a rugged, muscular body that the chic's loved.
I moved to the other side of town, and without Bodyfocus I'm struggling to contain the size of my butt.
Those guys are great at keeping you motivated, something I'm finding it hard to do now. Keep up the good work! |

Testimonial from a recovery couch... Hi! My name is Kathy Ridgway. I am 46 years old and have been a member of Bodyfocus for almost 5 years. I recently came out of hospital, having had my first ever surgical procedure. The hospital staff couldn't believe it. What - no tonsils, adenoids, broken bones, caesareans, nothing??!! As I went through the pre-op procedures it became apparent that I was a fairly "rare bird". Apparently, fit and healthy 46 yr olds don't cross their paths very often. Blood pressure? Perfect. Mmm - pulse is slow. Check again. Mmmmmm - are you really fit? I began to realize what eating well and training regularly had really done for me. So, as I sit here nursing my sore foot, I'm feeling very grateful that I'm fit and healthy. To think that all that time I've enjoyed at Bodyfocus laughing, having fun, training hard, making friends and loving it, I was also giving myself the best possible chance for a good outcome when I needed surgery. So I look forward to a speedy recovery and returning to Bodyfocus for all the good things it has to offer.

Editors note - Since the operation for her sore foot went so well, Kathy informed us that she was thinking about getting her nose and butt fixed up too.

Mike R (Regular Visitor from Sydney) I regularly attend my local gym in Sydney (part of one of the big chains) but when I hit Brisbane I love to get into Bodyfocus every day for some exercise and fun. It's nice to enjoy your workouts, especially in (Body)Combat which can get pretty hard, and I am a bit of a softy! That Stew guy is nuts. Commit him before someone gets hurt! |
