The journey. I can’t believe how far I have travelled over the last seven weeks, it has being a journey to say the least. For several years I have made every excuse known to man or women, it’s the menopause, I don’t have time, I work hard I deserve a treat, which generally came in the shape of several things, cheese, wine, chocolate, wine there is a theme can you see it. I had become a couch potato who thought by swimming once a week and walking a 6k walk at weekends made me fairly fit oh how wrong I was.

The realisation came when I could no longer fasten my uniform, trousers or shirt the situation was dire and required some attention. I bit the bullet and started a healthy eating regime, along with Brooke and Rays Quaranteam fitness program. I noted my weight and measured my chest, waist, hips, arms and thighs. It has been a roller coaster of hunger and aching muscles. However I feel I am actually doing something to combat the middle age spread.

Ray tailored the work outs to suit the beginner, over the last seven weeks I have improved my overall fitness tenfold. With each work out Ray provides a detailed video of how to, which as a novice was invaluable. I have learned that you do not need a gym to work out, you do not require expensive equipment. I have used sand in carrier bags for weight, a wooden plank on two milk crates for a step up bench, a bed sheet over a door for pull ups he made me realise it’s all achievable.
MY goal is to loose 12kg and continue the fitness program with the help of Ray and Brooke.

The progress I have made is fantastic I am so proud and happy. I have lost 7kg and 35 cms in seven weeks. I have with the help of quarnteam developed a new normal, which I enjoy and am grateful for. I am excited to see the eight week result and continue making improvements to my overall health. Thank you Quaranteam.

I pride myself on having a general fitness, however, over the past 12 months due to an injury, I found myself unable to workout and taking anti inflamatories religiously just to get through the day.
8 weeks ago I hesitantly started the beginners program with the hope to get me moving again. Brooke and Ray were amazing with providing a well structured program that built on your ability each week. At any stage that I felt I needed an adaption to the exercise they responded within a short period of time with the perfect solution. Each step was supported with a video of how the exercise should look.

8 weeks later I have progressed further than I could've imagined. I'm back running at the same pace I was prior to my injury, I'm much stronger and most importantly I have significantly decreased my anti inflammatory usage.

Brooke and Ray, your support, guidance and professionalism are outstanding. I look forward to smashing through the intermediate program.

My journey began due to the Gym closing because of COVID 19 and to support my better half (Sharron) as we both wanted to lose weight while getting fitter. Over the 8 weeks, combining a calorie-controlled diet and exercises I have managed to lose 12kg and improve my overall fitness. The Quaranteam Fitness challenge has been great, good variation of exercises to a point where I will probably not renew my membership at the gym and just move onto the next level, Emergency Fit. Many thanks Ray and Brooke.
