Fat Loss Personal Training Testimonial – Treska Janecek

So where do I begin? Well I guess it all started when I realised I had just become plain old fat! I was trying to wear baggy clothes to hide my ever-growing body. I knew I was large, but I was in denial. I was hoping one day I would wake up and it would have somehow as if by magic have disappeared in my sleep. Unfortunately that never happened.  It was an ongoing problem and I had started to notice it was becoming more and more difficult for me to lose the weight. I was sleeping badly, I was tired all of the time, I had stopped doing many things as I was so embarrassed with my size.

I’m not sure when the exact moment was I decided I needed to do something. I used to be extremely active when I was younger, so whilst gaining weight over a period of years you just don’t realise how unfit you are until you try to do something & then realise you can’t.

So one day I decided I needed a personal trainer and that is when I discovered the Clean Health website. The BioSignature program sounded awesome. Daine McDonald spoke to me and set me up for my first BioSignature with Claudine Newton and my training sessions with Tom Hewett.

I weighed in at 93kg and 36% body fat. Yes, I was very heavy. I met Tom for my first training session the same day as I had my BioSignature. I was so embarrassed! Here I was this huge, overweight person who now had to try and do a training session!!! I was mortified!! I thought how am I going to do this? Tom was so friendly and easy to talk to. He made me feel so at ease and comfortable. He went through my training program with me.

I have been training with Tom now for about 6 months. He is a fantastic trainer. He is a fountain of knowledge and can answer any question I have regarding nutrition or my training program. In fact I think he can answer almost anything I throw at him! I really look forward to my training sessions. Tom pushes me to my limits and I am always surprised by what I can actually, physically do. It’s a constant surprise to realise the amazing capabilities of the human body. As a trainer Tom has the ability to see when I’m capable of more.

At my last BioSignature I weighed 77kg and have 23.2% body fat. That is over a 10% drop in body fat. I still have more weight to lose but with Tom as my trainer and the BioSignature program, I know, I will reach my goal. I highly recommend Tom Hewett as a personal trainer and the Clean Health program to anyone who wants to change their life. It is the greatest decision I have ever made!

Client Interview Of The Month – October 2011

Client Name: Shamina Chandran

Client Goal: Fat Loss

Results So Far: Started training at the end of May weighing 76.6kg and 30.6%, as of September she is 63.4kg and 22.8% body fat. She has also put on several kg’s of lean mass during this time. This is a great result for a 12-14 week period and realistic considering she only trains between 3-4 times per week with weights only!

SM: What made you choose Clean Health above other Personal Training companies?

SC: I loved that it did not involve cardio and focused on nutrition and fat loss. Also I was very intrigued by the Biosignature program

SM: What has your experience been with Clean Health staff and training methods?

SC: Fantastic! I train with Jes and she is such a delight to work with. She is so bubbly that is makes training fun. She works me hard though! The great thing about Clean Health is that you build a really great rapport with all the other trainers as well and it’s a great community feel. I look forward to my training days. The Biosignature program which you get to participate in when you train with Clean Health really works. It’s targeted and helps you work through your problem areas. It also holds you to account and ensures that you stay on track. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing those measurements get smaller each time.

SM: Describe the changes that you have experienced to your body since beginning with Clean Health?

SC: Initially it was dramatic weight loss which of course translated to fat loss. Now that most of the weight has come off I feel myself getting stronger and leaner. Since I started 13 weeks ago I have lost 13kg’s, dropped 8% body fat and have put on a few kg’s of lean muscle. More importantly I am starting to see tone through my midsection and am well on the way towards having some ‘abs’ come this summer!

Shamina in June (R) and Shamina in September (L) From flabby to toned!

SM: What has getting into better shape helped you achieve?

SC: I feel more confident, stronger and healthier. It has given me something else to focus on beside work! I am now 2 dress sizes smaller on my way to a 3rd dress dress size smaller. It’s such an amazing feeling.

SM: So what is the next training goal for Shamina?

SC: Getting to 17% body fat and start to build some abs!

Thank you Shamina for providing us an insight into your time so far with Clean Health and we look forward to helping her get to under 18% body fat come X’mas!

Best,

Sal

With only 3 weeks till I was competing in my 2nd fitness model competition, my goal was to come in leaner than what I was for my first comp. So I went to visit Daine McDonald at Clean Health to get my BioSignature body fat assessment.

After getting the results from my Biosignature he made some changes to my diet and training that I was to implement over the next few weeks.

With Senior Clean Health Coach Jes Murphy taking care of my training and Daine taking care of my BioSignature I dropped 3.9% body fat in less than 4 weeks! BioSignature helped through detecting which areas of my body needed more assistance with fat loss, which enabled me to implement the correct diet and training plan.

This experience was so beneficial in helping me reach my goal and get up on stage with more confidence and looking better than ever! I truly could not have achieved this without the help of the team at Clean Health, thank you!

I contacted Daine last year to help me further my knowledge of Poliquin’s BioSignature method. After working with him for the last six months of 2010 I consider him second to none in Australia in his knowledge of the BioSignature method and his ability to integrate functional medicine with strength training to achieve rapid improvements in health, performance and body composition.

The technical knowledge I acquired through Daine I used to accelerate my own results, which enabled me to achieve a body fat percentage of 5.5% body fat at over 90kg. I also was able to accelerate the results of my own clients (I was able to take several clients below 5% body fat) I was also able to dramatically increase my business and income through his business coaching going from about 25 PT sessions per week to 40 while completing a masters degree in Exercise Physiology and training up to twice a day at the same time.

Bottom line is if you want to achieve the best results you must train with the best and I consider Daine and his team at Clean Health to fit that description not only due to his superior knowledge but also his ability to motivate. Every time I am around Daine I find myself far more motivated than ever before to succeed with my own health and training as well as in business so I would highly recommend him to any personal trainer, health professional or regular Joe who wishes the same.
