		Sarah Stevens At 39 I dare to say I wasn't in any shape to leave the house. I’m a proud mother of two and my "excuse" has always been "still carrying some of that baby weight". The problem with that statement is my children are 3 and 5 now. So I decided 6 months ago to join Platinum Family Fitness. Immediately after joining I was able to do a fitness consultation with the Health Centre Manger and the primary goal of that consultation was to ensure that I had the proper knowledge necessary to achieve my ultimate health and fitness goals. Being overweight, even by as little as 10-15/lbs, according to my doctor, places severe strain on your bones, joints, and your internal organs. People who are 20-25/lbs overweight are even at a much higher risk of developing hypertension, sleep apnea, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, osteoarthritis and stroke. I was over 50lbs my ideal weight and had over 42% body fat. The problem was I had never done this and felt very intimidated working out on equipment I didn’t know how to use and more so that that I honestly did not know how to train properly. So I took the advice from the Health Centre Manager and signed up to work with a personal trainer 3x per week. I also started attending classes on a regular basis to help improve my cardio. In the first 12 weeks I lost almost 30lbs! I felt incredible, I was able to do things with my body that I haven't done in years, my self confidence was through the roof. Even my Husband loved it as I was able to wear my sexy clothes again and go on date nights! Today I have lost a total of 57lbs and am down to 21% body fat! I still train with my personal trainers here at Platinum Fitness on a regular basis and have learned a great deal as they continue to instruct me and makes changes in my program on a weekly basis. I am forever grateful for what Platinum Family Fitness and my team of personal trainers have done for me! Sarah Stevens ... hot mummy of 2! LOL! Back to top

		Mallory Ayer In March of 2009 I weighed 242lbs. I had discovered my passion for firefighting when I did my first co-op at 16 years old. This became my ultimate goal. Now it just became a matter of getting myself in a position where I could physically respond to the challenges of the job. Through some adjustments to my lifestyle, dietary habits and a battle with thyroid issues I managed to drop 64 pounds in 9 months! In December 2009 I hit a plateau in my results. I joined Platinum Family Fitness and shortly after started doing Personal Training. I was sceptical about signing up for training, mainly because I had never thought it to be something I would want to do, and it’s expensive. Once I spoke to Justin (Platinum Fitness Health Center Manager) about it, I was hooked. I really liked the idea of getting everything I ever wanted out of every workout. My trainers name is Josh Wunderlich. Josh is more than just a trainer to me, he is a friend. He helped me take my workouts to the extreme, motivated me to keep going and really shined a light on how to lead an ideal lifestyle. He has seen me through thick and thin, personal and work related issues. He is one of few people in my life that I can really count on to be there for me no matter what the situation. As an example of our friendship; I told him about a 10k run I wanted to train for (The Terry Fox run). Not only did he train me, we ran the 10k together!! And when I asked him to come watch me play a rugby game, he was there the next Saturday. I attribute all of my fitness levels now to personal training, and definitely stand by it. It’s worth every cent. Personal training taught me how to work out efficiently with a strong sense of direction. Josh also taught me how to motivate myself mentally. Working out can be such a mental game. Now every time I think of quitting, I don’t. Push through the pain, stop stopping and start starting! With all these positive changes, I’m much more humble and confident in myself. Self-confidence is something I’ve struggled with my whole life up to this point. I was once a 242lb girl with aspirations of becoming a firefighter. Now I am on full time with Clarington Fire Department and feeling better than I have ever felt in my life. Back to top

		Morgan Holdway Hi, I’m Morgan. I started working out at Platinum Family Fitness in April of this year and from the moment I walked through the front entrance, I realized that it was the right place for me. Enthusiastic personal trainers greeted me and showed me the wide variety of state-of-the-art equipment. The trainer I hired was an experienced weightlifter who knew from day one what goals I wanted to achieve and how to assist me in accomplishing them. I went from being 178 pounds to 208 pounds in less than 8 months due to intense training sessions, a clean diet set up by my trainer, and the willingness to pursue my goals. The benevolent atmosphere always makes me feel comfortable and energized to get back into the gym every time I leave! Back to top
