“Gentle encouragement always kept me moving forward”

“Graham has been my personal trainer for a year now. He has shown dedication & integrity from the first day & has made the task of getting fit, feeling good & being healthier a lot easier than I had expected it to be.

When I first came to Graham I had knee, neck & shoulder discomfort, today that is a thing of the past. The Holistic approach that Graham uses has been invaluable to the overall process of regaining my smile & function.

Graham allowed me to integrate his suggestions at my own pace but with his gentle encouragement always kept me moving forward. Graham’s passion & boundless enthusiasm for his work is obvious at all times which has inspired me at 66 years of age to stay healthy & live life feeling young. ”

“He has been very patient with my progress – I have 2 kids”

After I stopped breastfeeding my 2nd child I started running, short distances at first but it didn’t take long to become addicted to longer distance running. Over time I found that I had some knee pain while running and was often exhausted and unwell (gastro/flu symptoms). I was constantly hungry, had huge sugar cravings and I had slowly started putting on weight.

Initially I combated this by running more, doing spin classes etc, but this just seemed to make things worse.  A friend recommended Graham.

Graham assessed me and found that there was a rotation in my hip to the right.  He introduced corrective exercises to correct the rotation & improved weak muscles in my core, in particular lower abdominal’s (muscles I didn’t even know I had!) and switch on my glutes.  He has been very patient with my progress – I have 2 kids and work part time, so my commitment is not always what it could be. Graham also taught me ‘breathing’ exercises to help energize me in the mornings and slow me down and release stress at the end of the day.

To combat the cravings and hunger, Graham reviewed my diet and introduced the concept of ‘real food’.  My diet has changed from high carbohydrate / low protein to low carbohydrate / high protein organic food. I have learned to re-calibrate my body every season by doing a cleanse. I stopped putting on weight, have less sugar cravings & have not been sick in ages (touch wood!) My energy levels are now much better & my posture has been realigned!

I would recommend Graham to anyone who wants to change their lifestyle, improve their health and become stronger inside and out.”

“My body has become leaner & more defined”

Coming to Live Fit and having Graham as my Coach / Trainer has been such a positive healthy and life changing experience.

From the first consultation I had with Graham I knew that his Holistic approach to training & health in general was exactly what my body needed, I went to Graham with knee pain, anxiety & menstrual issues but soon learnt that just trying to treat the pain or issue was not the solution, we needed to find the cause physically & possibly emotionally.

The benefits of my sessions with Graham to my body have been immense, not only have I improved in my movement, strength and posture but my knees have also improved & I am now able to run again.

My body has become leaner & more defined, Grahams overall holistic approach has balanced my body but also my whole being,

I always come away from Graham’s sessions feeling fantastic, energized and knowing that my weakness are on the improve & the workout has been a gift to my body.

Not only has graham shown me how important everything that I do & don’t put in my mouth is graham has taught me the importance of seasonally cleansing of the GUT is to overall health & vitality.

Allow your body to work as one healthy unit and you will feel amazing too!

I would recommend to anyone looking for a trainer finding someone in your area with C.H.E.K training.

Thanks graham I could not be happier..!

“Graham’s holistic approach to training just makes sense”

For the past 15 years I have trained the same way, to keep fit and healthy and had accepted that what I had was my natural body shape and there was no changing it. I would train twice a week with a boot camp group, run approx 3 times a week and add in some swimming and yoga in addition to that, yet my shape never changed.

I still had heavy hips and legs that would swell after long distance runs, I couldn’t seem to ever increase my running speed for races, I regularly had lower back pain and often felt completely wiped out due to the amount of exercise I was doing…… but I had to keep going.

I felt like I was on a never ending cycle of training to keep my body how it was, but not seeing any changes or benefits at all. I did however think this was the best way to be fit and healthy, living by the motto of “more is better”

“When I first started training with Graham he did a complete assessment of my body, measurements of my flexibility and my bodies alignment, along with getting me to answer a detailed questionnaire to assess what else was and was not functioning properly in my system. From there he wrote me a personalized  exercise & lifestyle program.

In only 3 months of training, I have lost weight, gained muscle, I feel stronger, my skin and eyes are clearer, my legs are changing shape, I have no more back pain, and my hips are back in alignment. Most importantly to me, I have more energy because I am not pounding the pavement and my body day in day out for no gain. I feel like a different person.”

“I’ve lost 18kg’s without silly dieting”

I have been working with Graham now for approx 6-7 months
When I first started looking for a trainer it was only because I needed motivation, I was feeling pretty lazy & over weight.

Working with Graham has been an amazing journey I recommend to anyone looking to improve any aspect of there life & health.

Grahams complete holistic approach & knowledge has supplied me with all the necessary tools to look & feel great everyday & goes far beyond just exercise.

I have learned so much along the way about my body & how to get the most out of it everyday so I can feel & look my best – I have also managed to lose 18kg’s of body fat (4kg’s to go) without any silly dieting or boot camp style training sessions.

I have had many trainers over the years but Graham really is quite a few steps ahead of anyone else I have ever worked with in the past.

Graham challenges me in every session with specific exercisers for my body because initially he did an in depth assessment of my body so he new what areas were weak & needed work.

I often walk out feeling better put together after our sessions!

Graham has also put the fun back into exercise.. something I didn’t honestly think was possible 6 months ago.. I actually look forward to training these days 🙂

I’d also just like to take this opportunity to thank the C.H.E.K Institute & Paul Chek especially, what you guys are doing is amazing & more people need to know about it as the population gets bigger & unhealthier..
