John Abello 27, Customer Care Consultant.Liverpool
After working in IT for a number of years doing shift work I started packing on the weight and becoming increasing sick with liver problems, increasingly bad back and neck pain from an old football injury. Diets where not working and I was increasingly less mobile and becoming very tired.
As the back and neck pain became debilitating I was reliant on Chiropractor up to 3 times a week just to get by. I knew something had to change after 1 full year of not getting better!!
I began to attend 3 sessions of boot camp in Liverpool and battled through my existing pain for about 2 weeks and then found that the pain was going away and I was feeling increasingly better each week thereafter.
Within the first 6 weeks I had lost 7 kg and feeling like I was in high school again with increasing amounts of energy. I than changed to 5 sessions a week for a couple of months as it became more than just about weight loss and better health but I was enjoying every minute of it. As the weight feel, my muscles were building very quickly and I did not do any additional exercise outside boot camp my progress was entirely reliant on the variation of exercise that you receive from the wonderful trainers at Motivate You.
Having to buy a whole new wardrobe in the matter of months going from XL shirts to S and 42 waist to 34 I really did feel like a new person.
The exercise is very safe and I was encouraged to do it at my own pace and not to hurt myself which would only hinder my progress. I did initial thought that boot camp was going to be some trainer screaming whilst your breaking your back. However I was gladly surprised as it was just really good encouragement, effective exercise and good people all in the same boat challenging each other, all endeavouring to better themselves.
Now it has been 1 year now and I can easily maintain weight without extreme dieting and have reduced my chiropractor visits to once every 3 weeks. Thankyou motivate you and all the other clients that have help me feel so much better. A special thanks to Ariel for his ongoing suppport.

Just a quick note to thank you for giving me Jai and Jamie to train with and for. I can honestly say they are both truly super motivating and are actually interested in me, what I do and how I do it. And not only in the hour 4 times per week, but in general.
I am glad to say though that Jai has been amazing.
So thank you, thank you, thank you; and a huge thank you to Jai and Jamie. I honestly (and quite literally) could not have done it without them!!!!!!

“The training has been sensational! I have been feeling REALLY great!
At first it was hard, especially with my sore back. But slowly,with more and more training and watching my food intake, I began feeling healthier and healthier inside. I really feel inspired to train and its helped my outlook in life.
I have received a lot of support from Motivate You Fitness & Personal Training with the meal planning and the training program. I now have a roadmap of what to do to get healthy, no more guess-work.
If anyone is unsure about whether 1-1 Training is for them, I say , all you can do is try. You won’t be disappointed with the level of dedication, support and understanding from the trainers.
My life has changed in a big way. I am now able to drive my car again, socialising more and getting out and about. I'm also enjoying the bootcamp and boxing sessions at Greenway Park.
I have come a long way in the last 12 weeks; and I’ve got a long way to go, but I know I am on the right track!”
Max Pagnin, 39, Financial Planner. Green Valley
I thought I was quite fit before joining the boot camp classes at Motivate You Fitness & Personal Training. I found the classes to be very challenging and was motivated by Ariel to push myself to another level of training.
It’s a great group of people and everyone seems to enjoy themselves despite the huffing and puffing. At 39 I’m still playing competitive soccer against 20 year olds, so any fitness advantage I can get is a bonus!
Thank you Ariel for your professionalism and friendly manner. I’d be happy to recommend anyone who values their fitness and health to use your services!

After years of very little exercise, Motivate You has turned fitness into something that is now part of my everyday life. The group sessions are challenging, but fun, and they really do improve fitness for all levels.
The personal sessions are an opportunity to improve technique and really concentrate on your goals. The trainers are friendly and relaxed, but still able to push you to reach a level of fitness you never thought was possible.
The sessions have changed my life and after 12 months I am still enjoying every session and seeing improvements every week.
The exercises are sometimes a real challenge but they provide a workout that is difficult to achieve at a gym or by yourself at home.
Judy Smith, 25. School Teacher. Wattle Grove
After getting married and moving to Sydney a few years ago I found myself in a routine of overeating with barely any exercise. I was unhappy and constantly regretting the condition I was in.
From the moment I started the kickboxing and bootcamp sessions I found myself getting more and more excited about my fitness and body shape.
Friends and family continually comment that I look fitter and happier than ever. Motivate You Fitness & Personal Training has restored my enthusiasm for exercise and a healthy lifestyle and I would recommend it to anyone!
Robyn Minici, 30, Teacher. Merrylands
Before becoming a Motivate You client I saw exercise as a chore..
I had tried & tested every diet with no long term success. I even tried the exercise gadgets you see on the info-mercials. What a waste of money!
I was very hesitant and unsure of what to expect with Personal Training. I thought I was going to be smashed every session.I soon came to realise that there is a whole more to it than that.
Ariel & his team helped me see the light & learn the importance of combining healthy eating & exercise with FUN! After a few short weeks I started to reap the rewards & had never felt better.
Words cannot express my gratitude to the Motivate You team for their support, understanding & guidance.

The first picture scares me!
I cant believe how terrible I both looked at felt. I wasted years trying to look thin. After trying dieting, exercising, tablets, and shakes, my motivation was down and I was really demoralized. I was desperate and realized that I really needed help.
I was initially worried about the cost involved in personal training, not to mention the actual training after watching “the biggest loser”. I then thought about all the time and money I had wasted in the past, so deep down - I knew I had nothing to lose. The guarantee to reach my goals was a real clincher for me.
The Motivate You system of good nutrition, exercise and mastering your mindset was brilliant!. The support was also fantastic.
I am in the best shape of my life now, and feel better than I ever have before. I have unlimited amounts of energy and I cant believe how happy I am! I only wish I had found Motivate You earlier.

“I had the goal and the motivation; however, I needed help with direction and planning.
Ariel has carefully constructed an exercise and diet plan that has helped me reach and exceed my goals, in such a short period.
This Friday I embark on a 200km charity bike ride for Northcott Disability Services.
I look forward to pedalling up the F3 with confidence and thank Ariel for his expertise and guidance throughout my preparation.” (October 2009)
Janette Chou-Lee (28, mother of 2, Liverpool)
"I have never been a fan of working out ; and after my second baby I put on a stack of weight whichI thought I'd never be able to lose. I was worrried because I had never been so heavy. I tried the gym and dieting, exercising on my own at home; and got really down & frustrated because the weight just wasnt coming off. It is so de-moralising when you try so hard to shift the weight, and it just doesn't happen!
Then I joined Motivate You Fitness & Personal Training, and now I actually look forward to my workouts. I have got some great results and can honestly say I have FUN at Outdoor Training and Boxing!
My diet has improved and I have found that I don't feel I have to push myself to stay on track,it just is something that I want to do for myself now!"

“When I started with Motivate You Bootcamp & Outdoor Training Sessions in Liverpool, I thought I was reasonably fit, but I was looking for a new and different way to train and meet new people, rather than just going to the gym or for a jog.
"I soon found some great friends to exercise with but not only that, I found a whole new variety of ways to exercise and improve my overall fitness level.
"Then I started 1-1 Personal Training. Wow! What a difference that has made! I have lost a lot of weight, dropped my body fat percentage and most noticeably toned up my muscles.
I now know a whole new variety of ways to exercise which has benefited me and I feel healthier and more energised for it. I have also learnt more about what foods to eat and when.
Where I thought I was fit before I am now looking at entering a triathlon and challenging myself that little bit more.
Loss of over 12 kgs and still going!
