FOCUS HEALTH AND FITNESS MEMBER TESTIMONIALS  <br>
I have been attending Focus for 3 months - before starting I felt Overweight, unhealthy and unmotivated. I was inspired to get started because I had had enough and just wanted to feel good and get in shape and keep going. I chose Focus gym over other gyms because I heard it was more personal. I wanted someone to train me and keep me motivated and make sure I wasn’t going to lose focus. I now feel fit and strong. I am motivated because I can see and feel the results. I can’t remember the last time I felt this good. I wish I had started earlier!! I enjoying having more energy and taking care of myself. I now make time for myself to go to the gym . I now also have a genuine excuse to buy new clothes as old ones are now too big. Sarah is my personal trainer. She is fantastic! She is friendly encouraging and the results I have from my program are great. She listens and targets my programs to suit. I am a busy working mum and she offers programs as well as eating tips and advice to suit my lifestyle. I am now a lot more healthy. I have always told my children they need to eat lots of healthy food and exercise to keep fit and strong so now they can see me doing this. I can’t believe how much junk I was eating still I stopped. The Focus team are lovely. They are friendly and call you by name and you feel like you belong in their gym as soon as you start. I never once felt uncomfortable and felt like I didn’t want to go.   The more personal approach and smaller numbers is much better than the larger gyms with staff and clients strutting their stuff around. You don’t ever feel intimidated at focus.

I started at Focus Personal Trainer Gym at the beginning of January 2010.Before starting I felt like I was in a little bit of a rut with my training and exercise and I was getting bored with my exercise regime. I was definitely in danger of pulling back from exercise. I was inspired to get started because I was given a 10 week personal training gift certificate from my husband, Neil Merrin, who is a member of Focus. He kept pushing me to call Focus Health & Fitness until I made the first appointment with Sarah. Sarah, my personal trainer, tells me I have lost quite a few centimeters off my body – particularly my upper body. Sarah has given me so much motivation and inspiration to keep working out. I feel like I have so much more energy and determination and I feel great. I will definitely continue to exercise and I definitely feel invigorated. Sarah’s personality has kept me balanced and focused. She has the perfect balance of motivational skills and encouragement and works those skills with a steely determination that supports you rather than being intimidating. I have found all the staff at Focus to be friendly and approachable. Encouragement is given at every opportunity making the experience of working out very comfortable. The staff are easy to talk to and the atmosphere at Focus is calm and relaxed.

"Ryan has been "the general" in a boot camp my daughter has participated in on various occasions. Although possibly the youngest in the group she has been accepted in on same level as other members & has appreciated the personal encouragement & being pushed in her own fitness to be more than she was before boot camp started. I would highly recommend Ryan & his boot camp team for anyone wanting to seriously get fit BUT without the scare tactics some gyms use. My daughter always came home enthusiastic & re-energised." <br>

I have been attending Focus for a year and a half, and before I joined I felt tired and over weight. What inspired me to get started was that I needed to strengthen my back muscles and increase my core stability to ease pain I was experiencing in my back. I chose Focus because of  the great price, nice atmosphere and genuine trainers. Since changing the intensity of my program, I have gone from a 96cm waist to an 82cm waist and have lost 12 cm from my hips. I now have more energy and am more positive about my life. My personal trainer, Sarah, has given me goals that I can set out to achieve with ease and with a positive attitude. At Focus, everyone knows you and is interested in your training and life. <br>

"I have been using Focus Fitness centre for more than 18 months now and unlike other gyms, I find Ryan and his personal training team provide an excllent service with lots of personal attention for my individual requirements. The gym is also setup with all the necessary facilities and for those who are based in Norwest Business Park and nearby suburbs, I highly recommened that you at least check it out! Keep up your great work Ryan!" Logan Nathan, October 18, 2009 Top qualities: Great Results , Expert , Good Value Service category: Personal Trainer, Gym, Boot Camp<br>
"Wow, How do I recommend Ryan and Focus Gym! With my business growing rapidly and as i am now in my 50’s, I needed to stay on top of my health and fitness. I am pretty active in my work, yet I lacked something. We all think of Gyms as a place where people just stare in the mirrors, but at Focus and under Ryan’s personal training this is not the case. I was part of the Focus Boot Camp in Baulkham Hills & Hills District for 36 weeks. What a great idea for excelling in your business as this is what clears all the cobwebs and sorts out the men from the boys. Interaction with the other boot campers has made my name what it is today in socialising as well as what I offer as a building consultant to my clients. Focus Personal Trainer Gym and Ryan made this improve and you should all do this at least once in your life as you will never forget what The General has to offer. Howard Ryan Nov 2009" <br>

"I was a member of Focus Health and Fitness a couple of years ago, but just re-joined 2 weeks before the HBL competition started. Before starting I felt overweight, tired, no energy - I knew I needed to lose weight but had been putting it off for some time. I was inspired to get started because Having 6 young children, I need the energy to keep up with everyone. I also want to role model a healthy, active lifestyle to them. I chose Focus Personal Trainer Gym Castle Hill over other fitness centres because it is small, friendly and not intimidating. All the staff are extremely helpful. There are no "show ponies". It’s a really comfortable environment. You are treated as a person not a membership number and all the staff actually know and call you by your name. My results? Apart from a loss of 13.2 kgs, increased energy, not feeling as tired and the dress sizes are coming down - I feel healthier, happier and full of energy. I can play with the kids and run he house without becoming exhausted and I have more self confidence. Mike is my PERSONAL trainer and he helps by keeping me on track, kicking my butt when I need it and pushing me harder than I would ever push myself. Also, helping me with nutritional advice. My Focus experience has been excellent – I would recommend Focus to everyone – at any fitness level, shape or size. <br>

" I have been attending Focus PERSONAL TRAINING GYM BAULKHAM HILLS for 10 weeks. Before starting I was lacking energy and feeling negative about my general appearance due to putting on weight.I was inspired to get started because my doctor had prescribed me for the first time blood pressure medication. I wanted to avoid taking these and avoid the other complications from high blood pressure. I wanted to stop the weight gain. I chose Focus over other fitness centers as I have tried larger gyms and preferred a smaller PERSONAL TRAINER gym like Focus to avoid the crowds. I also wanted to avoid the testosterone charge atmosphere of some gyms. I have lost 2.5 kgs and a few centimeters off my middle. Energy levels are so much better and I am feeling better about myself. My blood pressure is slowly dropping so medication for the moment is not necessary. I feel happier on the days I go to the gym. Anita is my personal trainer – she does a good job of varying each training session and keeping me motivated and has a very positive attitude.

I have been attending Focus Health Fitness Personal Training Gym & Boot CampS, Castle Hill & Baulkham Hills District for 8 Months. Before I started the HBL competition I was feeling quite unmotivated but I was inspired by the need to feel overall healthier. I chose Focus Health & Fitness Norwest - Bella Vista over other centres because Focus is more personable. I am now feeling healthier and have a reduced waist of 6.5cm and have also Lost 4.6kg. This helps me with sleeping better and I am happy trying to arrange work etc around visiting the Gym. My PERSONAL trainer is Sarah – her easy going and pleasant personality makes it easy to attend and she encouraged me to participate in HBL for which I am grateful as it was a lot of fun and the results indicate well worth it. My experience of Focus facilties and service has been fantastic! Each week I look forward to going either for a PT session or alone. The updated programs Sarah gives me keeps it interesting and challenging. <br>

I started my Focus Personal Trainer Gym, Castle Hill & Baulkham Hills District program six months ago. I used to consider myself a person of average weight, but as the years slowly crept on, so did my weight. My husband & sons began going to Focus Health & Fitness Personal Training Gym & Boot Camp and encouraged me to give it ago. I felt unsure of the gym style workout & did not feel like it was something that would suit me, however I was considerably unhappy with my weight and fitness levels. I chose to join Focus Health & Fitness Baulkham Hills, at first I was not turned on by things like the "spastic-walker" (cross-trainer) and the inelegant positions for improving my fitness & health. I found the first month really tough, however noticed my weight beginning to see-saw, so my newly acquired trainer suggested some personal training, I knew this was the answer. Since training with Maja, I have not looked back. In this time I have lost 10cm from those 40-something problem areas; hips, thighs, stomach. I feel fantastic, positive and lots of energy. Maja helped me to push my limits and move out of my comfort zone, in a caring and motivating manner. I would like to extend my thanks to Focus Personal Trainer Gym & Boot Camp & Maja for the personal TRAINING approach, hard work and great results. My changes have enabled me to pursue new goals Thanks Focus!!

From a member moving out of the area - "For the record Focus is the best all round gym I’ve ever trained at" Mark Driscoll, General Counsel <br>
I joined Focus Health & Fitness Personal Trainer Gym & Boot Camp Castle Hill 6 months ago wanting to put on weight. When I started I weighed a measly 76 kg and my goal was to put on at least 10 kg in the first 3 months. (Which I achieved thanks to Focus) Mike put together a great training program that was structured around my goals and skill level. I found Mike’s training methods to be extremely motivating and challenging. I could not have done it without him. What I like best about the gym is the comfortable and non-threatening / non-intimidating environment. The staff/ PERSONAL trainers are all VERY approachable and make you feel comfortable & welcome regardless of your fitness level. Also, I am very impressed with the personal trainer treatment everyone receives when entering/exiting the facility - you are always greeted with a G’Day and a smile. THE FOCUS PERSONAL Trainers are willing to meet your needs and really listen to you; they don’t just go through the motions. The gym has the best of everything for everyone at ANY fitness level. I am really impressed with all of the amenities, from the equipment and training programs to the help with nutrition. Focus has everything! The facilities are clean and inviting, everything from the locker room, showers & equipment are spotless. Thanks Focus for the new me!Matt Anderson (age 33)Top qualities: Great Results , Expert , Good Value Service category: Personal Trainers Castle Hill, Gym Hills District, Boot Camp Norwest, Personal Training Baulkham Hills, GYMS BELLA VISTA & KELLYVILLE<br>
I have been attending Focus Health & Fitness Personal Training Gym Bella Vista, Glenwood, Kellyville, Crestwood for 14 months now. Before starting I was a bit hesitant but once I got to know the PERSONAL trainers I have found it really enjoyable. My mother encouraged me to get started, since I had stopped horse riding six months prior to joining. I chose Focus because its location was really convenient and I could easily walk there from home. Since I started, I have lost approximately 6 kilos and I hope to lose another 10 kilos in the next year. Starting at Focus has given me a new lease on life. Everyday is so much easier now and I am a happier and healthier person. I started PERSONAL training with James until he left, now I DO PERSONAL trainING with Greg and I love it. He is such an inspirational guy! Greg has helped me to realize I have the ability within, to push my self to higher and more challenging levels. My experience at Focus Health & Fitness Personal Training Gym has been wonderful! The facilities are fantastic, and as for Greg (my trainer) he is one amazing guy!

I have been attending Focus Focus Health & Fitness Personal Training Gym, Boot Camp, Personal Trainer, Castle Hill & Baulkham Hills District, Norwest, Bella Vista, Glenwood, Kellyville, Crestwood for four months. Before starting at Focus I was overweight and tired all the time. I was inspired to get started as I wanted to feel healthier and lose weight. I choose Focus because I had heard so much good feedback, and I wanted a gym that was on a smaller scale. Focus offered this as it has a more hands on personal contact with clients. Results so far — measurement loss of 71cm total (27 inches) overall from head to toe! The effects have also filtered into other areas of my life — I’m less tired, more motivated, adopted healthier eating patterns, and am overall more healthier. Sally has pushed me to my limit and kept me achieving goals I would not have thought possible! She has helped to turn my lifestyle around for the better. The atmosphere at Focus is very friendly and customer focused. My personal trainer Sally is just sensational — she is one in a million! I owe her a lot to my achievement. The program can be very hard at times, but I have enjoyed every minute of it as it is always very varied and never boring.<br>

I have been attending Focus gyms now for 3 years. I was inspired to get started after the birth of our first child which gave me less time to do my normal cycling routine. I chose Focus over other fitness centres because of the friendly atmosphere and staff. Since starting my routine, I have reduced my body fat percentage from 22% to 14%! I have also won cycling race as a direct result of persistence with my Focus Program, and my visits at Focus have now become a part of my daily routine! My experience with Focus Hills district, my PERSONAL trainer and my program has been excellent so far and will continue I am sure!Brooke LazichTop qualities: Great Results , Expert , Good Value Service category: Personal Trainers Castle Hill, Gym Hills District, Boot Camp Norwest, Personal Training Baulkham Hills, GYMS BELLA VISTA & KELLYVILLE<br>
My husband started going to the gym, and after a short time I saw the results he achieved by having a personal trainer. I plucked up the courage to sign up and went with the same trainer as he had "The lovely Sarah" who he calls M. L (Madam Lash) I was nervous that Sarah would reduce me to a breathless, sweating heap so I stressed that I didn’t want this. I was hoping for a magic wand! Sarah met me were I was at, and slowly I have come around. I think I would have done a runner if it had been any other way.After five months, Sarah suggested that I do the Hills Biggest Loser to help keep me focused - the timing was perfect, that little extra push. I can really feel a difference in myself now; I enjoy wearing clothes again and can fit back into pants that have been sitting in the wardrobe for five years. My husband and I are both a work in progress; Sarah is our Michael Angelo, our sculptor. My fitness level has improved and I am now more confident of what I am capable of. I am even considering doing boot camp this summer!Donna Douglas (age 45)Top qualities: Great Results , Expert , Good Value Service category: Personal Trainers Castle Hill, Gym Hills District, Boot Camp Norwest, Personal Training Baulkham Hills, GYMS BELLA VISTA & KELLYVILLE<br>
My name is Betty Martin, I’m 54 years of age, I have never been a fit person taking walks in summer/or on holidays has been my limit. I signed up at the end of July ’06 after a friend had began PERSONAL TRAINING, and having someone you know helped to encourage each of us to keep going. At Focus, my goals were to gain muscle tone and increase strength and decrease stress levels. I didn’t need to loose a lot of weight but just trim down. I have gained my goal weight of 57kg and am now maintaining. I managed to set a routine going on Sunday afternoon and then Tuesday to do my gym work out, so on Thursday night I can enjoy "Fighting Fit" with Mike, then on Saturday morning "Aqua Circuit". There were many times at the beginning I didn’t feel like going to exercise - the mere thought of getting on the gym cardio machines was overwhelming but by the end of my routine I felt regenerated and ready to go - having relieved a lot of tension...... I am now focusing on my New Years Resolution to "learn to swim" - THIS MAY TAKE ALL YEAR but with determination I will "Get" there, and just for all you people who think swimming is easy - well I think the Gym Routine and Boxing is a piece of cake! I love coming to the gym the staff Sarah, Jacqui, Mike, Koula and Laura are all very friendly and helpful I couldn’t ask for a better place!

Joining weight 85 kilos, size 34+ inch waist. Firstly I would say that I was sceptical about joining a gym. I had imagined a group of poseurs in designer clothing, covered in jewellery, looking at themselves in the mirror, which was just not me, or so I thought. But personal health overrides any pre-conceived notions and to avoid becoming a couch potato and future problems, the boss (my wife) said, "We’re going to check out the new gym and ice rink, what have we got to lose?" So we went along to the open day and met some of the staff, and got the low down, thought about it for 24 hours and then signed up for the year. It was one of the best decisions we have made. The staff at Focus Health & Fitness Personal Training Gym, Boot Camp, Personal Trainer, Castle Hill & Baulkham Hills District, Norwest, Bella Vista, Glenwood, Kellyville, Crestwood are friendly and actually listen to what you want to do and achieve, not what THEY think you should be doing. We have met other members and they are as friendly as the staff. Results - sure, after about 12 weeks, I’ve lost 8 kilos and am down to a 32 inch waist. I look, eat and sleep better. My stress levels have decreased and I have improved muscle tone, heart rate and blood pressure. My apologies if this sounds like an advert, but when I was asked to write a testimonial, I did not give it a second thought. These guys are good and I would recommend them to anyone. Steve C.

I have been attending Focus Since 2003 I was pretty nervous about starting at the gym. I had never been to a proper gym before. Tired of looking a bit on the wobbly side I went up to FOCUS Personal Trainer Gym & Boot Camp - Castle Hill & Baulkham Hills District, Norwest, Bella Vista. After meeting Ryan he made me feel enthusiastic about working out and made me realize there are so many more reasons to work out rather than the aesthetic reasons. It’s the little things that FOCUS do that keeps me inspired to continue improving far beyond my original goals. It’s their reassurance, even their perseverance when you start to lose focus of the goals you set and the enthusiasm they share when you get closer to those goals. People often say I’m a bit nuts for driving 30 minutes in the opposite direction and passing 7 other gyms in castle hill en-route to get to FOCUS. I am not going to lie. Since I have been at Focus I have purchased memberships from other gyms trying to outweigh convenience for quality but it just doesn’t work I try it for a couple of visits get tired of the blank I’m too busy to care looks from staff, the typical show ponies (and the spandex) and end up walking right back through those Focus doors with a sense of relief. For me, having a personal trainer IS personal, I need to be comfortable around them and, I need to trust them. They need to be professional, knowledgeable, inspirational and all at the same time FUN! My FOCUS trainer is now one of best friends and I value the friendships I share with all the FOCUS team because they all share similar qualities. Since starting at FOCUS gym Norwest I have lost approximately 10kg of fat and gained 4kg of muscle. All over my body is much more defined and I have a lot more strength and energy. I know my body inside out, upside down and back to front. I know it’s limitations, where I need to improve, what food it really wants and when, I know when its time for some rest and best of all I know its strengths so when I want to go hard in a run, on a snowboard or on a wakeboard I know I’ve got little or no excuse (except for being a bit girly!) I have found that with time, improving your fitness becomes easier to fit into your daily and weekly routines and that’s the best part. Once its found its place in your routine it becomes less of a chore and more enjoyable. For me that’s when I start to crave that extra energy I get from exercising and some days I find exercising even relaxing.
