Active Fitness Training

Thank you to James and Active Fitness Narellan.

I’m proud and incredibly thankful to share my weight loss journey over the past eight weeks — yep, just two months!

I’ve been training at Active Fitness for years, but earlier this year I finally decided to fully commit and give the 8 Week Challenge a real crack.

I had attempted similar challenges before, but never really took them seriously. I always thought it would be too hard, that it wasn’t for me, and that I would have to drastically change my entire lifestyle to see real results. Thanks to James’ coaching and his knowledge of nutrition, I learned that while some things did need to change, it wasn’t nearly as overwhelming as I had imagined. Consistency is definitely the key.

As I mentioned, I’ve been training at Active Fitness for years. The friendly environment that James creates, coupled with what I would describe as “small group personalised fitness”, makes all the difference. Your results are tracked each week, and your progress is encouraged through safe, personalised, incremental growth.

What I love most about Active Fitness is not just how great I feel physically but also the family atmosphere that has developed over the years. The people I once saw as fellow gym members became gym buddies, and then became people I now proudly call friends. Having that support around you also helps keep you accountable and motivated to show up — not just for yourself, but for each other.

Thank you again, James. I’m never letting that 17 kg back in — I feel amazing!

💪 Another client testimonial 💪

"I have been at this gym for almost 3 months now and have been absolutely loving it. 2 weeks into starting there, I joined the 8 week challenge.

When I joined the gym I was 74.3kg. 2 weeks later I weighed in for the start of the 8 week challenge at 73.4kg.

I had 2 goals for the challenge. Goal 1 was to weigh within the 60s and Goal 2 was to make into the 66kg range.

The training sessions were amazing and really helped me reach my goals quickly. Altering what meals I prepped was the biggest challenge to ensure I kept carbs and fat as low as possible whilst still feeling like I had a sustainable meal.

Half way into the challenge and I had already achieved my first goal. By the last day and weigh-in, I was 67.0kg so only 1g off hitting my second goal and I was so excited about that.

In the end I lost over 7kg and am feeling the fittest I have ever felt."

Amazing work! The great thing about challenges is that you can really focus in and set your mind on doing your best because it's only for a short time.

Some will say it doesn't teach you anything but I disagree... counting calories and learning to eyeball portion sizes is a great benefit and learning to deal with "actual hunger" and perceived hunger is also very beneficial.

You can always build upon the short term strategies with long term strategies after the challenge with the added motivation of already achieving great results

Congratulations Gareth for taking the men's 8 Week challenge and also overall challenge winner...

Over 1k cash prize!!! But more than that, he's the leanest and lightest he's been in years.

Only 8 weeks and he managed to lose 9kg! Started at 82.5 and finished at 73.5kg, he now keeds a while new wardrobe! A good problem to have 🤣

Well done brother! Calories come up now and spend some time gaining back some strength and building up muscle. 💪

If you're interested in joining the next 8 week challenge, winning some cash and getting a new wardrobe too... send me a PM and I can give you more info.

Congratulations to our 1st and 2nd place winners in our 8 week challenge!

Combined they lost just under 14kg in 8 WEEKS!!! Crazy! And they also won over $1000

The result between them was only 0.05% difference in weight lost! So close!

To get these results it's really quite simple in theory. I gave them a calorie goal and macro targets to hit, they lifted weights twice a week, full body program... and got their steps up on other days.

Simple? Yes, but a lot of effort and consistency over 8 weeks to get these amazing results

I'll be running another 8 week challenge very soon with only 10 spots available so if you're interested PM me and I can give you the details on how you can get results just like Jenique and Renee!
