Dear Resolution Fitness,

I just wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all the staff at Resolution. I joined your fitness centre in July this year having never joined a gym before. My goal was to lose the extra weight I had gained from having my children, I had considered joining gyms in the past but they never seemed to be exactly what I was looking for.

The big reason I joined Resolution was because of Kids Korner which I cannot speak highly enough of. I think it is fantastic, all of the lovely ladies that work there do a fabulous job with all of the children which was a huge thing for me and made me feel totally at ease when leaving my children there to play while I exercised. I knew it was a great place when my kids were constantly asking to go there. Can you please pass on my thanks to the ladies there; I really appreciated the care they gave my children.

I found Resolution to be a very motivating place to be and I really enjoyed the classes.  I always felt totally comfortable exercising at Resolution, everyone was always very helpful and I loved going. Joining Resolution was one of the best things I have done for myself.

Unfortunately I had to cancel my membership due to my recent pregnancy (Doctor’s orders), it has only been a couple of weeks and I really miss Resolution. So thanks to everyone again for helping me achieve my goal and I will be back after the birth of my fourth and final child to do it all again.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Kind regards

Vanessa Liddle

I've been a member of Resolution Fitness for over a year now, and would like to express my appreciation for the way the staff and fellow members have assisted me with my weight loss program.

I would like to thank the staff for their enthusiasm, encouragement and professionalism. The support they have given me over the last year has been fantastic, particularly during the Biggest Loser Program, which is proven with my weight loss of over 40kg in the last 10 weeks. I have found the program to be motivating and enjoyable, combined with the support and friendship of other Biggest Losers. I would also like to thank them for their encouragement during the program. It has been inspirational. Thank You all.

Finally I would like to give a special thank to Emma Priest, who has gone beyond her call as my personal trainer. In the beginning when I wasn't turning up frequently enough, she rang and hassled me on numerous occasions. Emma has also kept me motivated without being too soft on me with my workouts, in fact she has probably been harder. Her dedication to her job is beyond her call of duty, when she puts aside a session a week for a personal session with me during the Biggest Loser Program. Once again I would like to thank Emma for her efforts.

Yours truly

Dear Resolution Fitness

Just wanted to say a big thank you to all for helping me fulfill my dreams. Ever since I arrived in Australia (1989) I've said that one day I would run City2Surf. Well thanks to you opening in Dural I've gradually got fitter and fitter, using Attack and Step (frequently back-to-back) as my training, and I decided this would be the year. Last Sunday, with my 10yr old son by my side all the way, I ran 14km - even up Heartbreak Hill - and finished in an unbelievable 85 minutes. It was a fantastic day and a huge personal achievement for me. (Not bad for a 45yr old eh!).

Special thanks to Max, Di, Jo and Tara who've helped push me through all those classes.

PS: So next year how about ResFit team? It is a great day out and such a good feeling when you collapse in the sand and the sunshine on Bondi Beach at the end. We just need someone to meet us there with some Champagne!

Testimonial for Jason Howell – Resolution Fitness Trainer

To whom-so-ever it may concern

I lead a very active lifestyle and joined Resolution Fitness to not only improve and increase my cardiovascular fitness, but also to build up strength and the stamina to keep up with a physically demanding career.

After my first initial visit, Jason Howell was appointed to complete my fitness assessment and then develop a program for my already active lifestyle.

I have only been a member for a month or two, but during this short time I have found Jason to always be friendly, welcoming and available for help. Jason has even taken time out of his own training on his days off to help me with my own program.

Not only does Jason posses a huge amount of motivation, he is able to use his enthusiasm and energy to encourage others.

Jason is articulate and has extensive knowledge regarding training and fitness. He has been able to answer nutritional queries as well as adviced me on various exercises and strengthening techniques. He is consistently suggesting ways that I can vary my training to always keep things interesting.
Jason possess energy, enthusiasm, motivation, and has an extensive knowledge that is an asset to Resolution Fitness. I did not hesitate in providing this testimonial and I look forward to further training with him.

Kind Regards

After a visit to my doctor I was told I had to lose weight or risk becoming diabetic. I was 50 years old, overweight, unfit and on medication to control high blood pressure.

A new gym was about to open very close to home so my wife and I joined, with losing weight as my goal. Never having been a member of a gym before, I felt uncomfortable in this new environment and found myself making excuses not to visit. My wife was fed up trying to get me there so she organised a personal trainer to help me find some motivation.

Emma has been training and coaching me now for approximately 15 weeks and I have gone from 106 kilos to 93 kilos. My goal is 88. My blood pressure was as high as 170 over 115 and now is 120 over 80. The doctor is now considering reducing my medication. I feel much better now, I have more energy, more flexibility and I look forward to my sessions at the gym. I have been a challenge to Emma with many old injuries from my younger days re- emerging from time to time. I have full trust in Emma's ability as a personal trainer, she is unassuming, pleasant and has a genuine interest in people. She pushes me harder just when I need it. The only 22 year old I allow to boss me around.Emma has made my visits to Resolution Fitness both comfortable and enjoyable.

Thank you Emma

To whomsoever it may concern
Re: Emma Priest

Emma is a very energetic and hard driving personal trainer. She is always active, looks for variety in her job to keep herself and her client motivated.

She drives herself to go full throttle, keeping the pressure on herself and her client to get results. She seeks new approaches and looks for solutions and she has plenty of vitality.

Emma has been my personal trainer for just over 10 weeks now, I am a 41 year old female who really needed to get healthy and fit. With Emma's encouragement, positive nature and her bubbly personality, I have now finally quit my 23 year old habit of smoking.

I now feel healthier and on my way to getting fitter and hopefully a little slimmer.

I would not hesitate to recommend Emma to anyone who wants to get fit and healthy and have a little fun on the way.

Yours Faithfully

First a huge THANKYOU for opening this gym close to home and a bigger THANKYOU for putting on the BIGGEST LOSER competition. After becoming a foundation member and coming to the gym when my son was 2 months old, I had great intentions of losing all the weight I had gained during my pregnancy.
Unfortunately I did not lose the weight (my own fault), however my fitness levels increased tenfold.
However, once the competition started I decided to go for gold. Due to my competitive nature, this competition was the kick start I needed to lose weight. With the encouragement of all the staff I was on my way.

In the first few weeks I had to change my eating habits and followed the CSIRO eating plan, this worked a treat however it was not how I was going to live my life.

I had received an introduction to PT for mother's day and decided to continue this through the competition.

With the encouragement and personal training with Tara I excelled. Tara was fun and encouraging, all through the competition; and I'm sure without her I would not have done as well as I did.

Another great support for me was one of our favourite instructors Jo. She kept encouraging me through all the classes to dig deeper and try new classes I hadn't done before. So a huge THANKYOU to Jo as well. Roger, Mitch and Emma what can I say! The fit box classes were brilliant, aside from increasing our fitness levels, this is where the real friendships and comradery began.

In the beginning of the competition I wanted to win, but within weeks the friendships I was making and the support we were giving each other became more important.

Rogers' circuit class and Mitch's' cardio class were great. Although I did not get to these classes till late in the competition, the boys took me places I had never been.

Unfortunately I was unable to get to many of Allison's classes due to work commitments, the one's I did get to were great, and of course we just liked to see Jason's' smiling face. The best part of the competition and coming to this gym is the friendly down to earth staff and friendly members.
I feel very lucky as aside from coming 2nd in this competition, I had encouragement from all the lovely staff in creche as well as all staff on the floor.

So THANKYOU again to Resolution for putting on this competition and all the staff for their encouragement and support.

Dear Resolution

Thank you very much for organising 'The Biggest Loser' & providing us with the means & inspiration to reach our goals. The opportunity to attend all the extra classes that were provided was invaluable; they afforded us the confidence to try something new in the security of a non threatening environment.
These additional classes allowed us to try something different & step out of our comfort zone but still have the security of the trainer to guide & push us. Without these classes we would have been bogged down with the usual routine & as a consequence I am sure many of us would not have achieved the results we did. The support from all the trainers was immense but for me I have to say Mitch really pushed me to the edge doing cardio every Friday (something that I would never have done by myself & absolutely dreaded) and of course King Roger the taskmaster from hell every Wednesday & Saturday, pushing, cajoling, upping the weights, extending the time & making us dig deep, all the while being a stickler for good form. He must have done something right as we have continued, and enjoy our Saturday weights 'chicken run' even though we are sans Roger!

One of the best outcomes of the competition has been that many new friends have been made & training partnerships formed, it is so good to walk into the gym & be greeted by a familiar face.

The extra mile the gym went to inspire & encourage us was fantastic, in particular our guest speaker & motivator Adro not to mention all the additional prizes. The final presentation was brilliant & the prizes awarded were greatly appreciated - everyone was a winner. I was absolutely thrilled to get 3rd place, I joined the competition (thanks to your encouragement Di) in order to try out some new classes & perhaps lose a couple of kilos, what a bonus I got, much fitter, carrying a lot less weight, healthier, a lot of laughter and a whole group of new friends & 3rd prize to boot! Thank you.
