First of all you are not alone. Obesity is the Number One health risk in Australia today & yet it is also one of the few health issues you can actually do something about, gain control of, turning the negative into a positive, so you get your life back.

Let’s not beat around the bush. If you’re fat, you’re fat. People always talk about the “elephant in the room”, (that obvious ‘thing’ that must not be spoken about), but sometimes you just feel like the elephant.

Being overweight can cause many health issues to arise which make you feel worse & the more weight you gain, the slower you go, the slower you go, the less movement & more weight gain. It’s a vicious cycle.

It’s not only the physical problems, it’s the psychological problems too. Being overweight can make some people feel like an outcast as they can no longer keep up with shared activities they used to enjoy with their friends or family. Some people withdraw & become depressed, lonely & isolated or they feel trapped in a body that doesn’t work so well anymore.

Shortness of breath & aches & pains can make you feel overwhelmed just doing minor tasks you once used to breeze through. This can be frustrating & a sense of helplessness sets in.

Your confidence slowly erodes, you worry about your health, the anxiety builds as you gain more weight & you subconsciously fear this may lead to an early death, which makes you even more anxious as there are so many things you still want to do, passions to embrace, dreams to follow & all the beautiful moments still to experience in your life.

Being fat can be demeaning in the workplace, as although our anti-discrimination laws are meant to treat everybody equally & are supposed to prevent your weight being used as an issue—you always wonder deep down if it may have been the reason you didn’t get that call back to an interview or you were overlooked for that promotion again, despite your skills & qualifications. It can be humiliating when you are chosen last for a sports team or just downright demoralising when you really love that fabulous dress, but in the change room you can’t do the zip up, or maybe you’re just feeling down—you don’t enjoy the beach as much as you used to because you now refuse to be seen in public in a swimsuit.

But all is not lost…Fatburners can be the light at the end of a dark tunnel.

You’ve tried them all. Diets don’t work. Deprivation never made anyone happier. But proper nutritional advice works & achievement definitely does. That’s what we’re about at Fatburners, we’re here to help you burn fat & lose weight, by working with you every step of the way—no matter what your current fitness level—by setting realistic goals, by helping you regain your confidence & strength & achieve permanent weight loss that right now at this very minute may feel impossible. But they are ALL possible. We know because we see proof of this at Fatburners every single day.

Our personal trainer Trish is a shining example of what can be achieved. If you had told Trish 18 months ago that she would have lost more than 35kg, ridden a bike around Brisbane & up Mt Cootha, abseiled down the cliffs at Kangaroo Point, climbed the Story Bridge, completed a 10km run at the Noosa Half Marathon, learnt to surf at Byron Bay, completed a commando course at a Boot Camp or that she’d be working at Fatburners as a qualified personal trainer in 2009—she would have told you you were dreaming – and probably laughed in your face as well! Trish has done all these things & much more & she is still on her journey, but she is also fit & healthy, happy & motivated, full of life, confident & buzzing with energy. She smiles a lot & moves with a purpose & has made a whole new circle of positive, supportive friends through making that initial contact with Fatburners, that they have become just like family.
