I joined Vision Bondi in July 2024 with a clear goal: to lose weight and build a healthier, more active lifestyle. At the time, I knew I needed structure, accountability, and the right support to make real progress.

Over the past year, I’ve dropped 10kg of body fat — going from 88kg down to 78kg. The result has been more than just a change on the scales. I feel stronger, fitter, and more capable in everyday life. Just as importantly, I’ve built consistency with my training and nutrition that allows me to maintain results without feeling restricted or burnt out.
Working with my trainer, Martin — and Max at the start — gave me a clear plan and guidance that made the process simple to follow. Instead of chasing short-term results or quick fixes, I’ve built habits that fit into my lifestyle and actually last. Training has become a regular part of my week, and my approach to food is more balanced, which makes everything easier to stick with long term.

One of the most rewarding outcomes has been being able to get back into activities I’d stepped away from. Surfing, for example, is something I really enjoy, and now I feel confident and fit enough to do it regularly again. That sense of having more energy and freedom in daily life has been a major win.

The year hasn’t been without challenges, but the difference this time has been the ongoing support and structure from Vision. Having someone to keep me accountable, adjust my program when needed, and encourage me to stay consistent has kept me moving forward.

The biggest shift hasn’t just been physical — it’s been in how I approach my health overall. I’m no longer focused on short bursts of effort followed by setbacks. Instead, I’ve found a balanced way of training and eating that I can see myself continuing for the long term.

Looking back on the past 12 months, I’m proud of what I’ve achieved. Losing 10kg of body fat was the original goal, but what I’ve gained in confidence, fitness, and routine has been just as valuable. Joining Vision has given me the tools and support to make lasting change, and I’m looking forward to building on these results into the future.
