"I don't do bike"

That was my first comment to Ricky who answered my telephone query about Body Synergy Gym in August 2009.

I was dispirited and grumpy when I said this. I had been at a Gym for over two years and had lost a LOT of weight but I was going backwards, starting to lose focus and putting the weight back on.

I wasn't getting the sessions at times I wanted for my busy lifestyle, was still suffering from awful back and neck pain, was not looking the way I wanted and was generally just not happy with the way things were going. I was very afraid that I would end up with all the weight back on and all the health problems that went with that. Incidentally I also hated bikes!!

Synergy, quietly and professionally, advised me that at Body Synergy I would not have to do anything I didn't want to, asked to be given the chance to show what they could offer me and even gave me 10 trial sessions before I would have to decide if Body Synergy was for me and commit to membership.

I started the next week and by the end of the first couple of session I was re-energized, re-focused and utterly sold on Body Synergy Gym.

Everyone at Body Synergy is amazing at what they do.

I receive the type of sessions I love and need to achieve results, I receive the sessions times I need to fit with my lifestyle, I receive the exceptional quality of service, training and professionalism I believe I'm entitled to and right from the start the positive results came thick and fast!

I found to my surprise and delight that all the resistance I had to trying new and difficult exercises and machines was quietly, professionally and expertly managed away and now I look forward to doing anything, and yip, I even "did bike"!

In just a few months I lost the weight I had put on and the other 12 kgs that my Personal Trainer and I agreed was the most I should lose in addition. I have learned to look at food as what it should be, a delight which if sensibly managed is not the enemy, not to be feared and resisted but to be enjoyed in its proper perspective. I have largely corrected the muscle development imbalances I had which were contributing to my pain issues. I have developed awesome muscle tone which gives me the shape I want. I have corrected the way I walk, sit and stand which were also contributing to my health and pain issues. I am fast working towards being totally pain free. I am always the centre of their attention when I am there (and who doesn't want that?) and I am looking forward to achieving even more.

I am never bored.

I am always challenged.

I am always having fun

I am always exhausted and disgustingly sweaty at the end of every session and love every minute of it!

I leave the technical stuff as to how Body Synergy Gym achieves what they do to others to talk about, what I want to say is that Rowan, Kylie and their team at Body Synergy gym have all that and the x factor, I don't know what that is exactly, I just know what it achieves and that is - awesome results.
