My life has changed so dramatically that I would like to share my journey with you...
The turning point came when I met my personal trainer, Dwayne Thomas and he introduced me to the 20 week challenge. When I first met Dwayne I was adamant that I only wanted to walk around the hills, I hated the thought of running and I was a complete gym phobic, all I needed was someone to motivate me and get me out of the house!.... On our sessions Dwayne would talk to me about nutrition, and healthy living in general. Every day I would have a question for him as I threw myself into my self development. It soon became apparent to me that loosing weight was only a small percentage of the changes I wanted to make to my life.

During the course of this 20 week challenge my goals were to reveal a six-pack and also to further reduce my body fat percentage and increase my strength. I sought Dwayne’s advice and spent the first ten weeks building up strength with the benefit of a gym partner. Dwayne created a programme which would firstly increase strength and muscle which meant training three days a week in the gym. Dwayne also included running in the weekends as one of my goals was the Lake Hood Half Marathon.
During the length of this competition my food choices have not only been healthy but I no longer feel that I am depriving myself or missing out on anything. At no other point in my life have I ever practiced such a healthy diet. Both my wife and younger daughter now enjoy similar eating habits to me, which means that the whole family lives a healthy lifestyle now.

Testimonials from some of our 20 week participants

The most enjoyable aspect of the 20 week challenge for me is quite simple. It has changed my life.
20 weeks is about to become 40. From 40 I can confidently say that it is going to be an on-going, positive way of life for me.
I started this journey with a little trepidation, to be honest; not knowing what lay ahead in fitness levels and my own boundaries. 
I found the continual support to be very powerful. I have never taken a step backwards but every step, either up a mountain or on the treadmill has given me a sense of personal achievement. I am proud of my determination and successes.

Having entered into the previous 20 Week Challenge and failed miserably (I pulled out after 2 weeks), I had spend 5 months getting myself completely out of shape. By this I mean that I had not entered the gymnasium for a total of 5 months, I had smoked a lot of cigarettes and I had consumed alcohol and food in quantities that were taking its toll on my physical and mental state. To put it bluntly, I was unmotivated, lethargic, and unhappy with who I was becoming.

Completing the 20 Week Challenge has been the most satisfying experience that I have had in many years and it is definitely the greatest gift that I could ever give my body. I feel 15 years younger and I look fantastic. I am the strongest I have ever been in my life, and I have more stamina than I had 10 years ago.  Old unhealthy habits have been replaced with new positive and healthy habits. I have proved to myself and others that you are never too old to get in to top shape.
