Congratulations Daniella Mancuso

"I moved to the central coast in October 2010 and was well on the way to achieving my weight loss goals having undergone gastric bypass surgery in June 2010. I knew that in order for my surgery to be a success, I needed to ensure exercise became an integral part of my lifestyle.

After a lot of research and shopping around I decided to join Oxigen Mind and Body Fitness. The friendly and welcoming environment makes Oxigen a very special place to train. I love the personalised service, and unlike the larger gym chains, I have never felt like just another number. Members, trainers and staff have gone out of their way to make me feel valued and welcome. I am especially grateful to the wonderful ladies that care for my children so well in the crèche. 

I chose Alex Thompson to be my personal trainer primarily due to her background as an Exercise Physiologist. Despite managing a chronic back injury (after two back surgeries) together we have achieved amazing results. In 9 months, I have gone from a size 18 to size 10, lost over 22kg, over 83.5cm from key measurements and improved my 1km jog time by over 3 minutes.

 

I have never felt this strong or healthy, and my balance, flexibility and core strength have improved immensely. My general fitness has increased significantly and I have transformed from someone who avoided exercise due to pain to loving my time at the gym.

Alex's friendly and easy going personality creates a comfortable environment and she makes each work out challenging and creative. I often tell people that Alex makes miracles happen and I would not hesitate in recommending her services. Alex is especially sensitive to dealing with injuries, rehabilitation and overweight/obese clients.

With the support of Alex and the team at Oxigen I am now on my own journey to becoming a personal trainer. Since starting my weight loss journey, I have lost well in excess of 80kg and gone from a size 28 to size 10. I am confident that I will be able to maintain this weight loss for the rest of my life and am eternally grateful to the Oxigen team for helping me turn my dreams into a wonderful reality."
