Laurinda White

Laurinda White whom we first meet 12 months ago was a positive smiley enthusiastic person. Somehow her personality didn’t really reflect how she felt on the inside. “I always knew I was a thin happy person, but where was she?” Working day in day out in hospitality she was required to be that bubbly person. I wanted to lose some weight & bring some real balance to my life.

Laurinda joined Lifestyle Fitness Australia, where she met Alex. She explained to him that she would like to lose some weight & get fit so she could join in some Group Fitness. Alex explained to her that she didn’t need to be fit to do Group Fitness.”You work at your own level, the instructor is there to motivate you, not judge you”, Alex told her. “There are options for everyone in every class. In BODYPUMP you pick your own weight, BODYSTEP you choose how high your step is & in all classes there are low intensity options, the instructor will guide you, all you have to do is show up and participate.”

Lori, (for short), took in all the advice & booked in for a session with a personal trainer. Her trainer reaffirmed Alex’s advice about Group Fitness & the following week she made it to her first class. “Within the first 10 minutes of the class, I felt comfortable. The instructor introduced himself explained everything, but most important made me feel like part of the class. There was another guy that was doing the class for the first time too, so we chatted a bit & that made me feel more at ease too.

“The class (BODYPUMP) was pretty fantastic, we worked our whole body & I got to decide for myself what weights I could work with. I was surprised that I could keep up & within 2 weeks I doubled my weights”, boasted Lori. She also had a personal training session once a week with her trainer who kept her on track. “We would just plan what I was going to do, what classes, weights and Cardio. This was fantastic as I had something I could do when I missed class. I did a little bit of everything. I started to really love my SPIN classes……. I started to train at all three clubs following around my favorite instructors & classes. But Carlton was my home club as it fitted all my needs”. Lori was also given an eating plan to follow.

After a while the instructors motivated Lori to become an instructor. “Yes I couldn’t believe I was now going to motivate others…….It was hard work but loads of fun. I never knew what went into planning & teaching a class. But boy did I fall in love with it. This added to my motivation levels & willingness to achieve my target. By now 10 months had passed & I have lost around 36kgs”.

With the amazing transformation, Lori has become a mentor to hundreds of people who can relate to her & her desires. A little over 12 months ago Lori was a different person. Size 26 pants to Size 12; 117kgs now 44kgs lighter and most importantly she looks and feels much healthier & happier.

After Lifestyle Fitness and the fitness industry transformed her life, she decided to apply for more work at the club. Lori started teaching more regularly & now works as part of the Membership Consultant Team. She advises people on how to get results for their lives & health.

Congratulations Lori, You’re an inspiration to us all & your passion shines through your work. The staff & members applaud your results & dedication to people’s lives.
