Trevor,  35 years old from Kingsford (NSW)

Hi, my name is Trevor, a 35-year-old Aussie male who a little over a year ago was overweight at 95 kg and bordering on the obese. Shopping for clothes for a work-related trip overseas I found difficult to find clothes that were both the correct size and presentable. I soon realized I had to do something about my weight and so I decided to get into shape. I began to exercise by walking and by chance I walked past a gym where they were recruiting new members.
Deciding that it was now or never - I joined the gym and I was fortunate to have Martine as my introductory personal trainer.  When I had tried to lose weight in the past- it was my diet that was not correct.  Through Martine’s healthy eating program and advice, I discovered I was having too many carbohydrates for lunch and especially for dinner.  After correcting my diet (more fruit and vegetables, and choosing healthy takeaway) and exercising, I was soon losing weight consistently. In little over 3 months I had reached my target weight of 72kg and feeling a lot healthier.  Now I have a lot more energy, I have more choice of clothes, and I am now proud to say that I can do a sit-up – something I could not do before.

Ivy, 37 years old from Mosman (NSW)

My name is Ivy Wong Ferdinands, and for the past 8 months Martine Muhlethaler has been my personal fitness trainer and diet coach at Fitness First, Randwick. During this time Martine has helped me lose over 10 kilograms, through a complete lifestyle, diet and exercise plan which she has actively guided me through, twice a week.

At all times I have found Martine to be an enthusiastic, motivating and an inspirational trainer. Her knowledge and expertise, combined with her friendly and supportive personality, have made her an invaluable guide and friend to me.

I would without any hesitation recommend her as a diet coach and personal trainer. Prior to meeting Martine, through a mutual friend, I had trained with several other personal trainers, none of whom matched Martine's obvious knowledge or genuine drive and enthusiasm to help me succeed to lose weight, further proof.

(As further proof, travelling to Randwick Fitness First involves a 24 km round trip, passing 3 other, closer, Fitness First gyms!)

Warwick, 62 years old from Kensington (NSW)

My name is Warwick, 62 years old and I have used Martine as a personal trainer and diet coach for the past 2 years. During this time my weight has gone down from 120 kilos to 104 kilos and my aerobic and strength levels have gone up significantly.
The great thing is that Martine taught me how to lose the weight without changing dramatically my lifestyle.
Trust me, I still go out a lot, eating at restaurants and drink alcohol!
I find Martine to be a complete professional. She cares and makes sure I am achieving my goals.
I have no hesitation in vouching for her integrity and honesty.
If I can do it, you can do it too!

Patsy, 42 years old from Kingsford (NSW)

At 42 I had my 2nd child and was getting married at 44, not quite the traditional bride.  Of course I wanted to look the best I could on my wedding day but felt that children and good living had caught up with me, especially around my waist.  My goal was to lose 7kgs and get to 66kgs, more importantly to lose 15cm around my waist.  By diarizing my eating and exercise habits and being honest with myself, I gradually began to see results.  It was slow at first, but when I began to identify where my eating and drinking habits were detrimental to my weight loss, my motivation increased.  With self discipline, support from my trainer Martine and constant attention to my exercise and eating habits I lost the weight, fitted into my beautiful wedding dress and felt fantastic.
