Elizabeth Ocipka-Maua

Elizabeth Ocipka-Maua started BODYPUMP classes casually a few years ago” It gives you a feeling of strength”. In August this year she joined Lifestyle Fitness, as her friends, (already members of Lifestyle) told her about the experiences they were having at their club. “The research of local clubs was already done for me” she gladly smiled.

“Since having had two c-sections over the past 7 years and having an epidural and spinal block during surgery my lower back was constantly feeling dodgy”.  Prior to her pump classes she was seeing a Chiropractor regularly and finding that before her next treatment she was in a bad way, “I would start feeling the lower back pain within days of my appointments”.

Liz has now built up her attendance to about 3-4 BODYPUMP classes a week, She attends her favorite instructors classes regularly Pauli “what a laugh, theatrical and fun – I look forward to my Thursday morning classes with him”. Michelle’s classes after work on a Monday bring a sense of “calmness & relaxation, so I can end my working day.” Then Saturday morning’s I need Myra’s big energy to get me going at 8am (who doesn’t)”

Like every mother, life is a balancing act and we believe it is important for every parent to take the time out for themselves. By giving time to you and your health you can then really be there for your children. Our childcare team looks after Liz’s children while she takes the hour off to work on herself. “Plus – massive bonus – my kids LOVE the crèche”

Elizabeth has become stronger and fitter, not only has she lost her love handles, but her posture and core strength have improved dramatically.” I quite often have no pain from month to month and simply go to my appointments for maintenance/upkeep.  Obviously my body is learning to hold the adjustments.”

With her chronic back pain under control ,” I also do a couple of days of cardio machines and miracle of miracles can actually run on a treadmill now – something I’ve never been able to do before. Since I’ve been doing the Pump class/cardio machines combination this is the fittest and leanest I’ve been in many years”

Congratulations Liz.
