Massive congratulations to my incredible client Shelly West. Shelly started working with me at my previous business Terrific Fitness. We had a brief period apart when I closed Terrific Fitness down and were reunited when I founded Freedom Fitness For Women four months later. To say I am proud of Shelly is an understatement! She is so incredibly coachable, and I love her to bits! My favorite part of my job is empowering women to have the freedom to be who they want to be. Check out Shelly’s success story below. – Coach Terri
“Prior to starting with Terri, I was struggling with huge changes my body was going through, i.e. crazy weight gain, brain fog, visual migraines, thyroid issues, low iron, body aches, bad skin, major anxiety, lack of confidence, just to name a few. I basically lost myself and felt I was a prisoner in my own body.
Since working with Terri, she made me aware of what was happening to me. She has educated me on Perimenopause / Menopause and how a combination of nutrition and strength training can help control a lot of those symptoms and sure enough, it has!
My journey has not been smooth sailing by any means. There were certainly a few setbacks along the way, namely hip issues and back injuries which put me out of action for some time, not to mention the mental health issues which come along with it.
After reconnecting with Terri, she focused on rehab training, nutrition accountability and mindset coaching to get me back to where I needed to be in order to move forward. She certainly had her work cut out for her, haha!
My biggest wins so far have been firstly deciding to overcome my anxiety and fears to begin my fitness journey. I was so scared, but I did it! There are so many other wins along the way such as doing a push up and plank for the first time, the feeling of empowerment when being pushed beyond what I thought I could ever achieve physically, a 20kg weight loss, training in a singlet for the first time, but most importantly my biggest win is showing my 2 girls that you can achieve whatever it is you put your mind to….hurdles and all.
Looking back to when I first started my journey, I have grown so much both physically and mentally. I still have a long way to go but I can honestly say for the first time in a very, very long time I AM FREAKIN PROUD OF MYSELF!!! This hasn’t just been about weight loss, it’s about consistency, determination and overcoming many obstacles that get thrown at us along the way. To find yourself again is a pretty special feeling.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Terri!” – Shelly West
