How 22.6kg Changed Everything

When Em joined Vision Personal Training Neutral Bay in January 2024, she was carrying more than extra weight. She was carrying exhaustion, self-doubt, and the quiet anxiety that comes from feeling like a stranger in your own body. "I felt unfit and overweight," she recalls. "My energy was at rock bottom, I had no real routine, and I was really stressed about it all." What Em was searching for wasn't a quick fix. She wanted genuine support when things got hard, and someone to keep her accountable.

The Starting Point
Em's first weigh-in and Bioscan confirmed what she already knew, and gave her something to work toward. Small. Achievable. A foundation. Together with her trainer, she set a realistic first goal of 4kg. What none one could have predicted was just how far she would go.

The Journey
Over the next two and a half years, Em did something quietly remarkable: she kept showing up. Life presented real challenges, particularly in her professional world, where pressures mounted in ways that would have derailed most people. But she had built something different this time. A structure. A community. A reason to keep going. She became a runner, a regular in group classes, and embraced the MyVision app to keep her nutrition and training on track.

The Results
Two and a half years on, Em has lost 22.6kg and lowered her body fat by 7.2%. More than the numbers, she's gained energy, confidence, and a resilience she didn't know she had. "I feel more capable and ready to face anything that comes my way." Em came to Vision Neutral Bay looking for support and accountability. She found all of that, and a version of herself she hadn't met before.

"I'm so grateful to the Vision Neutral Bay community. Having people around me who believed in me and kept me going made all the difference."
