Milad Radnejad

"I've been thinking about getting into shape for some time, but I've always kept pushing it back."

Sound familiar? For Milad, getting into shape had been on his mind for a long time, but somehow there was always a reason to wait.

That changed after a conversation with Jason and Joel at Vision Personal Training Pyrmont. It gave him the push he needed to give personal training a try. After a few sessions with Sunan, he made the decision to commit.

His goal was simple: lose weight and get into shape. But the first few weeks were anything but easy.

"The first four weeks were the most challenging. I was so out of shape, everything was exhausting."

For Milad, the biggest challenge wasn't just completing each workout. It was making training a routine and finding the determination to push a little harder each week, even if it was only a small improvement.

What kept him going was how he started to feel.

"Feeling better both physically and mentally week after week helped me make it a routine."

And that consistency started to pay off. Between July and the end of October, just three months, Milad lost an incredible 25kg!

But the transformation has been about much more than the numbers on the scales.

"Other than feeling much better, all my clothes are too large for me!"

One of the biggest surprises for Milad has been the mental benefit of training. He explains that after every session, he feels refreshed mentally, which has been really helping with his work.

Having the right people around him has also made a difference. Milad describes the Vision team as:

"Friendly, supportive and genuinely care about helping me get better."

So, what would Milad say to someone who has been thinking about getting started but keeps putting it off?

His advice is refreshingly simple:

"Don't overthink it. Just start and work through the pain. The first few weeks will be hard, but once you see the results, you'll start to enjoy it."

And perhaps that's the biggest lesson from Milad's journey. He spent a long time thinking about getting started, but once he finally did, he discovered that the hardest part was simply getting through those first few weeks.

Now, with 25kg behind him, he's no longer the person who kept putting it off. He's someone who has built a routine, feels better in himself and has discovered what consistency can do.

As Milad would say, don't overthink it. Just start.
