Struggling With Stubborn Belly Fat in Menopause?

I have trained with Cristie for nearly 18 months now, and have achieved amazing results with not only my weight but my fitness and general health. I’ve lost 22kgs to date and I am still losing weight and toning. Cristie tailors every workout to my specific goals and skills, which makes it interesting and fun, and never unachievable – I’m always guaranteed a thorough and fantastic workout. Most of all, Cristie supports me not only during my session to achieve my goals, but supports me through ongoing follow ups to help me stay motivated and interested, and demonstrates that she genuinely cares about me and my outcomes. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough to anyone who wants help to achieve their goals as well as a positive, fit and fun lifestyle.

I first met Cristie over 7 years ago when I was single. I was looking to increase my fitness and manage the stress my life was going through at the time. Cristie really listened and tailored our sessions to what i needed. Her holistic approach to health means her sessions have not only been customised to me physically (I'm not the most athletic and burpies and i are not friends) but she has also impeccable knowledge and advice about health and nutrition in general. As my life changed, Cristie helped me work towards different goals. This ended up being losing a few kgs for my wedding- my now husband even came along to our sessions. And, in time I even continued right up to 8 months pregnant obviously with yet another different type of session. Now as a busy mum i have re-engaged with Cristie to get me back focusing on my fitness.

I have had poor posture all my life. I was thrilled to find Cristie, she is the only person I have found that has made a difference. I find my sessions with her are so much more than, just exercises! She has a wealth of knowledge that extends well beyond the physical, including mental health and general wellbeing, as well as nutrition. Thank you, Cristie.

Hi Cristie - It has been great having you during my pregnancy! Being active with your encouragement I managed to have normal size of baby and also my body shaped back to normal within a few weeks!

Cristie has improved our health and fitness immensely. She is motivating, caters to our individual needs and inspires us to eat nutritional foods and exercise regularly. Tony has lost 15 kilos in the past six months and feels great.

I've always struggled with my weight for the majority of my life & have followed many diet & exercise plans ranging from weight watchers, optifast, herbalife, sureslim, Jenny Craig as well as seeing two dietitians & a diabetes specialist all of which provided small & short term results whilst dramatically decreasing my self-esteem & confidence. I have always been active & began to get frustrated & feel demotivated when I couldn't see any results from the effort I put in at the gym. Cristie helped me to understand how to eat well & treat & nourish my body so I can perform well at the gym to achieve the results I craved. She is a wealth of information & knowledge & there's always a well thought out reason for doing a particular exercise. Cristie is concerned about my success & goes above & beyond, she is not afraid to share her own experiences to provide a perspective on how one can overcome different road blocks. I'm so grateful that I've been lucky enough to work with Cristie.

Empowerment is a strong core value in my life; I have a diagnosed mental illness & since seeing Cristie as my Personal Trainer, she has enabled me to make better health choices in overall wellbeing and fitness, and working toward my goals in all aspects of my life. I now talk to groups in educating living with a mental illness and have had the opportunity to be a keynote speaker at a Federal forum for changes in mental health. Thank you Cristie you have been part of making these dreams happen in my life.

Initially my goal was to lose weight, however, Cristie's advice and guidance helped me to realise that slim often doesn't mean healthy and that fitness and health comes from a good body composition not a low scale weight. The results have been amazing, over 6 months I have significantly reduced my body fat and have lost a total of 31cm from across my body! I can't recommend Cristie highly enough.

Working with Cristie gave me the momentum I’d been missing. I lost 7 kilos, cleaned up my eating habits, and made exercise an easy, consistent part of my week. I stopped procrastinating and started making the changes I’d been putting off for years, not just with my health, but in other areas of my life too. I feel more confident, clearer about what I want, and capable of creating lasting change that truly fits my lifestyle.

My bloating is gone, and I finally understand what my body truly needs. I’ve stopped pushing myself and started listening, resting when I need to, moving when it feels right. I feel calm, confident, and content in my own skin.

Working with Cristie was exactly what I needed. Everything she suggested was easy to implement and actually fits my lifestyle.. I’ve lost 8 kilos, feel more confident in my body, and have more energy than I’ve had in years. But what surprised me most was the emotional side, I resolved some deep issues that were affecting my relationships and how I saw myself. I feel lighter, inside and out and genuinely more at peace with where I’m at.

Before working with Cristie I felt like my body was constantly buzzing, this strange ‘shaking on the inside’ that no one could explain. Through our sessions, I discovered what it was actually a reaction to, and everything started to make sense. With Cristie’s holistic guidance and the support of my GP, I was able to come off my blood pressure and beta blocker medications. I’ve lost 10 kilos, my strength has improved, and the muscular pain that used to hold me back is completely gone. The best part is that I now understand my body. I know which foods work for me and which don’t, and I finally feel calm, strong, and in control again.

I wasn’t sure if I was in perimenopause — I just knew I felt uncomfortable in myself and something wasn’t right. Cristie helped me make sense of what was happening and realise which symptoms were actually hormone-related. She gave me practical strategies to navigate this challenging stage especially when I’d been questioning my brain, my body, and even myself. I’m so glad I finally understand what’s going on and how to move through it without feeling like I’m going crazy or have to suffer through it.

It all makes sense, I realise now how I was working against my own body, actually I hated my body; but now I feel connected and know how to listen to it and know what works for me. I’ve let go of so many old habits with food, exercise, sleep – it’s easy to make the right choices now because I know I feel so much better for it. Thank you so much Cristie.

I had no idea I was so stuck because my digestion and hormones were so out of whack, I thought what I felt was normal. I feel like I’m more in control and that’s amazing. Looking forward to working on more areas of my life with you now that I understand how much I can change in such a short amount of time.

I feel so much better, lighter and I’m so grateful I’ve got more energy and the brain fog has gone! I actually enjoy exercising again, first time in years! I know I can maintain this and keep improving.
