Damianos’ personal training success story
Hello, my name is Damianos Karousos, I am over weight, 46 years of age and 162 kilos as of July 2008. I am applying for an Australian Visa.
When I went to get my medical on July 2008 and was told I was 40 kilos overweight and had to go see a specialist. July 2009 (MMI) sent me a letter asking me to go see a GP and get an outline of a 5 year weight loss plan.
I did one better and joined a health fitness centre; I figured if Bob and Shawn from the Biggest Loser can do it I can too.
I went to Fitness Matters Yamba NSW and got the information I needed. I then and there set my mind to losing 50 kilos.
Matt signed me up with Ashlee to set up a basic program for me which I followed to the letter. The first week I was in pain, my muscles were screaming but I kept at it, I was determined to lose the 50 kilos. The second week I was given the gift of a life time, a complimentary platinum subscription (thankyou Glen) which came with 3 PT Sessions a week. And was able to weigh myself at 150.7 kilos (I had found a scales that went up to 155 kilos)
I have to say a PT is the way to go, they make exercising fun, YES fun! With the help of Matt and my PT sessions I have gone down a pant and shirt size. I have more energy and can tie my shoes with both hands sitting down with no big belly in the way. My wife can see the changes and loves it. I have changed my eating habits, and trying to eat healthy.
As of Friday 31st of August 2009 I am a light 142.2 kilos. With the help of Matt I will get to my goals and then some.
FITNESS MATTERS is an asset to this community.
