RELLSIE’S STORY - 50
A little about you?
I’m a proud 50 year old (it’s not so bad haha!) wife (Paul is soooo lucky!) Mumma to 2 adult children (love them to bits) a proud Midwife and run my own business www.handsonwellness.com.au (free plug thanks Mia!)
Since you have first started at Boss how do you feel you have progressed?
“When I first started I couldn’t walk for a week! I discovered muscles I never knew I had! As time has gone on I feel so much stronger and fitter and have been maintaining this level which I’m so glad to say has become my new ‘normal.”
How has this impacted your life?
“In every way! I feel like my strength and fitness is a huge support as my work requires a level of endurance - I love to physically support birthing women so that’s a huge bonus for me. When I feel great physically I feel great mentally too!
A couple of years ago I got pretty sick – the doctor told me if I wasn’t so “fit and healthy” I might not be here so that really changed my perspective on how important it is to focus on your health – you only get one body so keep it strong! “
What motivates you to keep turning up and training?
“1. The BOSS Family for sure! The trainers are awesome! They push me to be the best I can be when I’m doing a workout and they actually CARE about you as a person – inside the gym and outside they gym. I count them as my dear friends. The culture of the gym is so magnificent – everyone is made to feel so welcome at whatever stage of their fitness journey, there’s laughter and genuine care for each other which I love the most.
2. The rotation of the workouts over 3 weeks keeps every session interesting and challenging, and I know the trainers are making sure we get the best out of ourselves physically. I can’t believe I’ve been here for 3 years! Every Sunday night I book my sessions in for the week ahead - It’s part of who I am! “
What advice would you give someone who is looking to start?
“You won’t find a gym that ticks all the boxes for your fitness goals better than BOSS! But more importantly, you won’t find a gym that makes you feel more welcome than BOSS! There’s no judgement, just encouragement so start today!”
