Comments about Step into Life®:

Step into Life Runaway Bay has been a real positive life style change for Jill & myself. Before Step Into Life we were real couch potatoes and fitness had been low priority until the realisation of how unfit we had become finally dawned on us. Step into Life has provided us with the motivation, guidance and team spirit to change our lives for the better.

Step into Life has dramatically improved our fitness levels, flexibility and body shape even though we thought we were going to die during the first couple of classes. We have both lost weight but more importantly lost centimetres where we need to. It has provided us with the confidence in ourselves to try new things that we would not have considered trying six months ago such as the Gold Coast 10km run which we both finished much to our amazement but not to our trainers Jay & Ian.

The group training environment is great allowing both social interaction and fun while moving forward towards our individual goals. It provides plenty of motivation from Jay & Ian to improve yourself and also measuring your fitness against other members of the group. The classes have proved varied to keep you fresh and motivated and Jill and I complete cardio, boxing and marathon classes each week.

The continued assessment by Jay & Ian by using training diaries and time trials have given us real feed back on our improved fitness levels. This also gives us great motivation when you can physically see your improvement.
The continued encouragement of our trainers has been the real difference for Jill & myself to achieve our goals. Previously all our good intentions to get fit would soon fade but this time Jay & Ian have kept us on the straight and narrow.

Having improved our fitness and confidence levels has translated into all aspects of our lives allowing us to cope with the stresses of work, family and modern society.

Comments about Step into Life®:

I have been training with Natalie for about 2 months. During this time I have found Natalie not only friendly and easy to talk too, but also very professional. Which in turn has made my fitness goals more of a reality every week. Being part of step into life has opened up a world of possibilities, thoughts of running are not thoughts anymore it is now a reality.

In just 2 months I have gone from a walker to a runner. And I know that without the motivation Natalie and the step into life group have given me I would still be dreaming of being able to run. Its a great feeling being able to get to that first goal.
I love my morning group it is full of fun people, there is nothing better than to start your day with a good laugh (except being pushed to your limit by your trainer of course). Joining Step into Life is one of the best things I have done in a long time, I would recommend it to anyone.

Comments about Step into Life®:

I have been a member of Step Into Life for over two years now and thought it was about time I wrote to tell you about the two fantastic instructors who operate my local franchise in Glenmore Park, NSW. Both are so enthusiastic and committed to their jobs that – dare I say it – exercising becomes a pleasure!

Upon starting Step Into Life classes all that time ago, I could barely keep moving for 60 continuous seconds, but now find that I look forward to our time trial runs and the buzz that comes from pushing yourself hard in a cardio class. As an added bonus I have managed to lose over 30kg and feel fitter than ever before.

The atmosphere during classes has none of the competitiveness or showiness often found in a gym yet I’m always challenged to do my best or “push the envelope” as Deb likes to say! Not only do I get the best advice exercise-wise, but also helpful tips on nutrition and returning to sport following injury. I can honestly say that deciding to join Step Into Life on a sunny afternoon in summer 2001/2002 was one of the best decisions of my life!

I truly feel that I couldn’t have achieved what I have without Deb and Sue and their commitment to and understanding of individual clients. Their passion and professionalism is an inspiration and I hope that this letter goes some way towards showing the recognition they deserve.

Thanks to everyone from Golden Grove Step into Life who encouraged, supported and sponsored me in the recent Adelaide Marathon. Earlier today I received a call from the Muscular Dystrophy Association - the official marathon charity - to say I had won a trip with guaranteed entry into the London Marathon in April next year. Wow, Australia's version of Run Fatboy Run, winding his way along the Thames, past Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and over London Bridge with 40,000 people. This would not have been possible without your fantastic response to my call for sponsors. The generousity of many of you overwhelmed me. The $2500 I raised gave me about 30 tickets in the draw. Golden Grove Step into Life members contributed a signficant amount of this. Again thanks heaps. Now it's time for Step into Life to Rule Britannia! I look forward to many more months of blackened toes, sore knees, and tight hamstrings.

Cheers
Andrew

Comments about Step into Life®:

Considering that the 'City to Bay Fun Run' started 37 years ago, it has taken me this long to get involved. The training sessions put together by Jason at Step into Life certainly did the trick as I ran the 6km in 37 minutes and 7 seconds. It was great fun to be participating with a whole lot of Step into Life members as we all encouraged and supported each other.
