Meet our member and friend Scott Henry, whose lifestyle change has left him 25kgs lighter, healthier, and most importantly, more confident.
Scott Henry was 19 years old, weighing 102kgs with size 38 pants. Like most people he participated in some sporting activities like footy at school, but once his schooling days were behind him the same could be said about his sports. “The turning point was seeing over 100 on the scale, it freaked me out. I felt awful, unhealthy and I was not happy with the man staring back at me in the mirror.”
Scott knew it was time to take action. “I’d never been to a gym before and though the thought scared me, I knew it was where I needed to be.” Lifestyle Fitness Australia was close by so he popped in to check it out and checked out some big chain clubs too. “Once I met some of the staff I knew it was the place for me; you don’t get service like that in other clubs.”
When he started at the club, he was given his initial program and before long was a regular at the Group Fitness Classes. “The classes are so much fun, the instructors so helpful and I felt so welcomed. Having the members and instructors all going for it made me work so much harder than ever before, not to mention that the class is over before you know it.” Scott participated in BODYPUMP, BODYSTEP, SPIN & BODYATTACK classes. The work started to pay off and the results were visible. Some Personal Training and a nutritional consultation added to the mix and the kilos were melting away.
Scotty now weighs 77kgs and is in size 32 having lost 25kgs of fat in less than 12 months. “I am now confident, I am so proud I can take my shirt off on the dance floor and enjoy my night out, not feeling self conscious. I am stronger, fitter and healthier. I’m getting more attention and the people I am dating are so much cuter.” He said laughingly. His new goal is to get that 6 pack he’s always wanted and enter a marathon.
When we asked Scott if he had any advice for others he said, “You can do it; it’s all in your mind. The staff and members are so friendly you will fit right in and make a whole bunch of new friends too.”
