Like a lot people, during the lockdown i stopped training, lost motivation and lost
all sense of routine. I ate too much processed
food and enjoyed way too many craft beers
every weekend. This combined left me tipping
the scales at a whopping 108kg, the heaviest
I'd ever been.

Fast forward to present, with the help of Mick
and everyone at BBL I've dropped close to
10kg, become a lot stronger, changed the
composition of my body and most of all regain
my confidence. This all wouldn't have been
possible without the help of my fellow members
and friends at BBL. Thank you for motivating
and helping me change my life.

I encourage anyone to give Body Beyond Limits
a try, we're more than a gym, we are a family
and we care for one another.

BBL has changed my outlook on training in the
gym and how a real gym should be.
The community always made me feel positive
and kept me motivated to turn up and it really
is like a family here.

I learnt a lot from the original members
and have seen some massive changes in my body
packing on heaps of muscle along the way.

I want to be that person for others and help
in the same way BBL has helped me and its how
the gym community is. BBL is not just group
fitness. I love the gym and the mates I have
made for life.

I joined BBL back around July/August 2020, the first class I went into it thinking yeah ill be right. I was so very wrong, I didn’t last 20 minutes 😂
BBL has helped me so much over the course of the last 18months from helping me meet new people and friends, constantly leaving me unable to walk after working out
and thinking there’s no way I’m coming out alive but most importantly feeling great about who I am and how far I’ve come.

Since becoming a member of this gym, I have gone on a long journey to become my best self.
The team at BBL welcomed me in with open arms and gave me everything I needed to get my
foot in the door, Michael even helped me in my first session,
and I remember it like yesterday because,
he told I was going to go far in the gym, because I couldn't stop smiling, which gave
me great confidence.
It was tough after that going by myself,
but there are a lot a great people at the
gym that gave me a few pointers and made
me feel comfortable.
You can never lose motivation while being inside the gym because of the number of
photos of people’s transformations and motivational speeches/challenges they write
on the wall.
I’m glad I started and ill never regret
thanks to the BBL team for always being supportive.

I started at BBL over a year ago, I was going through a rough patch & due to that I wasn’t making the best healthy living choices.
After gaining the confidence to try out
different classes I met Michelle & instantly
fell in love with her kind, supportive &
bubbly self.
Michelle took me under her wing & provided me
with consistent encouragement, support & also
a friend.
I have lost over 10kgs and I’m now focusing
on building muscle & my overall fitness!

During my time at BBL I have made life long,
beautiful friends who I know have my back in
any situation I come across within my life.
I could have a horrible day & I know going to
BBL and seeing the beautiful family I have
there will turn my entire day around.

Forever grateful for the physical and mental
changes I have seen in myself and for the
beautiful friends I have gained.

"I have been a member of BBL since they opened
their doors many years ago. I have trained in
the gym and most recently boot camps. I never
in a million years imagined that I would love
going to the gym so much.
Both the members and trainers are amazing and
are like family to me. We train hard but also
have heaps of fun (with the occasional dance
moves thrown in there).

I absolutely loved the program they offered
during the Covid lockdown and found that they
kept me on track and moving the entire time.

Since the gym and classes reopened I have
enjoyed the new exercises and program.

BBL is like a second home to me and I cannot
imagine ever training anywhere else."

I started 2021 with the decision to lose
weight and regain my health, then in June
2021, I found BBL. I am amazed at how far I
have come; I have now lost 80kg, am fitter,
stronger, and healthier than I thought
was possible.
I still have a way to go, but it doesn’t seem
impossible anymore!!

It is incredible what you can achieve when you
have the right mindset and are surrounded by
likeminded, supportive people.

Thanks Mick, Michelle, Cass, Sarah and all the
BBL family for your help, support and
encouragement.

PS. Ticking off a bucket list item, have
booked in and am climbing the Sydney Harbour
Bridge on the 2nd April!!

A few words from this legend below ?
In 2021 I decided I needed to make changes to
my lifestyle. I wasn't happy with my body
image. Being a mum of 2 beautiful toddlers I
didn't think I had the time to work on myself.
When I found BBL on Facebook and saw there
was classes and a creche for kids to hangout
while I could do the classes I decided to take
the leap and join up to the challenge I learnt
so much from this experience I now know that
eating proper meals is a big impact on the
body I have lost 23 kilos this is such a huge
achievement for me I have the BBL team to
thank and I've made many friends. I'm not that
shy girl who was scared to walk into a gym
anymore. I felt so welcomed from day 1. I will
continue my fitness journey. I have many goals
I still want to achieve but this is my biggest
goal ever and now it's ticked off I can't wait
to see where my fitness journey takes me next.

Hi my names Ashlee and I started at Body Beyond Limits in February.
I started with the 42 day challenge then continued doing 5am bootcamps
and PT sessions. All the trainers have impacted on my weight loss
journey however a massive thank you the trainers who continue to
motivate and encourage throughout all of our sessions.

Since starting back in February I have lost a total of 30kgs and
made great friends along the way who make it easier
getting up so early to attend each morning.

❤️❤️ Again, thank you Body Beyond Limits

I signed up to the Body Beyond Bootcamp nutrition challenge to lose
weight what I didn't know then is that I would gain far more than
losing weight.
Michael and his team have developed a holistic approach to health
and fitness that I would recommend to everyone. Thanks to BBB I
have lost 19.1kgs and have a healthier mind, body and soul - this
is all because I've learnt to fuel and nourish my body with good
food, I know the positive affects that exercise has on my physical
and mental wellbeing and more importantly I now have a base knowledge
and a positive mindset about health and fitness which is the biggest
asset by far.
Michael not only teaches you all of the above but he also
encourages, inspires and challenges you to break through
your personal limits
whether they are physical or mental ones, the best thing
about Michael is that your goals become his goals too and he
fights for you to reach them even when you feel or think that
you can't (please don't make me do burpees for that one 😁)
I also want to mention the BBB crew because they are
the most non judgmental, supportive and inspiring group
of people I've ever met and without the encouragement
and mateship that they show at each and every bootcamp
I probably wouldn't of made it this far.

I have just completed the 6 week challenge and have learnt a lot.
From nutrition support with a dietician and training guidance from
all of the great staff at body beyond I am feeling fitter, healthier
and more informed about the choices I am making for my body. I lost
4% body fat, and gained LOADS of muscle. Most importantly I was
accountable to myself with my eating and working out. The Facebook
group and support from the other challengers was inspiring.
Thank you for a great 6 weeks. I am feeling on track to keep
working on my fitness goals

Four months ago I joined BBL after some time out of the gym and
recovering from an a ruptured ACL. Mick told me if I trained
with him he could get me motivated again, get me eating the
right foods and hit the goals that I was after and that he did.
I would recommend Mick as a coach and the BBL crew to anyone,
I am now training regularly and have put on 5kgs of muscle lost
heaps of body fat, hit PB's in all my compound lifts and just
feel better in myself, I am also eating healthier through the
nutrition plans that Mick made up for me which have great
recipes and are super easy to follow.
Thanks for everything

There’s been a lot of ups and downs to get to where I am now
but I honestly couldn’t be happier! I absolutely love coming
to the gym, the classes are amazing and really push me to do
my best. Thanks to Mick and Cass for being amazing trainers,
the vibe at BBL is unlike any other gym I’ve ever been to. It
really is a second home and I feel the most confident and
happy in my own body now than I ever have in my life ❤️

I was almost 70kg in the first photo and heaviest I’ve been
in my whole life, I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror
and felt so disappointed in myself. Fast forward to now weighing
59kg and I honestly just feel amazing, so full of energy,
confident and look forward to going to BBL every week to train.

My mindset has been the biggest shift and my body is just the
result of that mind shift. Feeling so grateful to have found
this amazing gym

My name is Markeeta or better known as Mack.

I have been overweight almost all of my adult
life and was the queen of excuses. I took my
health for granted for many years and as a busy
working mum of three teenagers and a toddler
I had a lot to live for.

I was living an unhealthy lifestyle,
and quickly found myself at a whopping
127kg. I would always get told “you’re
really pretty for a big girl”. The
weight impacted my self esteem, my
mobility and made everyday tasks such
as tying my shoes, clothes shopping,
flying or sitting in cinema seats a
challenge that usually left me in tears.

It wasn’t until I lost my beautiful
31yr old Sister to a heart attack
caused by renal failure that I realised
I needed to make a change. I was
diagnosed with gestational diabetes
while pregnant with my youngest and
soon after he was born I also lost my
mum to renal failure.

I have dedicated all of my working life
working in the health industry yet I let
myself go and was heading down a path of
chronic disease and an early grave.

My journey at BBL started long before I
even stepped foot in the door. I had never
been a member at a gym before and was so
anxious and overwhelmed at the thought of it.

I stalked the BBL Facebook page for months.
I remember ringing Mick and as busy as he
is he spent almost an hour on the phone
listening to my story. Despite not meeting
him yet I felt supported, I felt like I was
worthy, I felt like I would be welcomed and
BBL was where I belonged.

I started out doing bootcamp classes a few
times a week. Some days I was so sore I couldn’t
sit down and was walking around like a t-Rex
because I couldn’t extend my arms. Despite
the aching muscles what I quickly realised
was how good it made me feel mentally.
This became my therapy.

Grief and loss is incredibly difficult and
I can not express my sincere gratitude for
having a safe place like BBL to help me
overcome such loss. Sometimes the physical
pain feels better than the heartache.

At the beginning of my journey I refused to
go if my gym buddy couldn’t make - now I
confidently go on my own.
I would never step foot into any other parts
of the gym - now I walk around like I own the
place and it feels like home.
I would never push myself and go to the “difficult”
classes but now (even though I’m sure Cas is secretly
trying to kill me) I give them all a good crack.

My journey all stared with one phone call, one
conversation one positive experience that gave
me the courage to make my health a priority
and sign up to BBL.

I have been on my health journey now for about
18mths and I have lost 40kg. I have gone down
5 dress sizes and still working hard. I meal
prep and have made massive lifestyle changes
so that I can live longer, stronger and happier.
I still have bad days where I fall off the wagon
but I have more good days and those are the
ones that count!!

Shout out to Mick and Cas - I don’t think you
guys truly know the impact you are having on
peoples lives!! I wouldn’t be where I am today
with your support, belief and encouragement.

Big Love
Mack xx

Thankyou to Mick and the Staff at BBL who have supported me and helped me to where I am now.
BBL is a very awesome place to train.

The Staff are always so helpful and are genuinely interested in your accomplishments and are always there
for help support when you need them most I wouldn't be were I am now without them.
BBL has a real family feel to it and so many amazing members the
Raw challenge was such a highlight for me and to do it with such a great group of people was a real pleasure.

My journey has been a slow but steady race. I am 35yrs old, single mum raising 5 children.
I had broken my ankle almost two years ago and have struggled not just physically but mentally.
Early this year I had torn my MCL and Hamstring, which almost pushed me back again..
NOT THIS TIME🙅🏽‍♀️

I decided to take control back of my life. I still have a long way to go! Healthy eating and regular training at
BBL I could not be more proud of how far I have come.

There are not many pictures of me at the biggest I have ever been as I was very self conscious.
I want to thank all the trainers at BBL who helped me along the way and still encourage and support me on my journey🙏🏾

When I started I didn't really have a goal and I didn't really know what I wanted I just knew I wasn't happy in who I was.
I had been at other gyms for years and didn't really have any structure, confidence or consistency and I definitely didn't know what a deadlift was.
BBL has taught me so much but helping me build confidence, gaining and understanding of my body and making the gym les soft a chore and more of a hobby.
BBL ultimately has helped me shift my mindset and allowed me to achieve goals I previously never thought I could have.
I am much stronger, much happier and 20kg lighter than when I started and I have the team to thank for that

Since joining BBL I have felt so welcomed and at home in the gym.
I love the classes and look forward to every session.

Everyone from the owner, the trainers and
the members are so supportive, friendly and
motivating.

I have a new inner and outer strength, that I
don’t think I would have found without BBL.

With everything that has happened over the
last year BBL has kept us going in the gym or
at home, they helped me to keep training while
pregnant and through covid.

I’m so appreciative to be apart of the BBL
family

I had only moved to the area last year, which meant I had to find myself a new place to workout.
In the past, I learnt that I need more than just a gym,
I need classes for the mornings I don’t feel like I can motivate myself,
I need a gym for the mornings that I can, and I also need a coach to help me feel
accountable.
Before starting with BBL, I had tried another local gym and also
a personal trainer along side.
I found I wasn’t excited to get up in the mornings and noticed how much
this was costing me weekly, so I bit the bullet and tried the free week trial at BBL.

I Remember leaving my first class thinking “this is my gym!”
Not only do they have a good variety of classes that are fun,
not repetitive, and push me to my absolute limit, the culture is amazing, you aren't just a number there,
the coaches and members make you feel like family and make your sessions so fun, comfortable and enjoyable.

I found myself wanting to use the gym more as I built the confidence
and knowledge on form and technique in the weight classes.
May 2021 I signed up to the BBL platinum package as I was ready to push myself further!
This program gave me unlimited access to the gym and all 45 classes,
a 12 week macro/my fitness pal program and a 12 week body transformation program.

Mick has made the nutrition and training so easy to understand, having his guidance
and knowledge the whole way kept me driven
and accountable, I didn’t want to fail!
I'm stoked with my results and what my body can do in such short time,
not only have I learnt so much about the nutrition side of things,
I've become a new stronger fearless version of myself!
I am so keen to keep going and better myself even more through BBL and the team!
Thankyou guys so much!

I signed up for my first 30 Day Challenge
exactly 2 weeks after seeing myself in the
first picture!
Since pairing the nutrition challenges along
with BBB bootcamps I have now lost 15kg.
I have just finished my 4th nutrition
challenge and have changed mine and my
families lives forever.

My 2 kids and Hubby now eat a cleaner diet
and my kids now ask weekly if we are going
to bootcamp so they are noticing a difference
in our lives for the better.

Thank you to Michelle Preston for taking me
under your wing to introduce me to BBL!

I wouldn’t be where I am today without the
help of coach Michael, nutritionist Georgia
and the BBB members! Everyone at BBB are so
welcoming and encouraging it’s like a family
where no judgements are passed.

It wasn’t an easy year with my self doubt
creeping in often but with sticking to it and
pushing myself beyond my limits I have found a new lease on life!
I would normally be too scared to show people
my before picture but now I hope I can
motivate and inspire other people to reach
new goals whether they be big or small

I joined body beyond limits to become a happier healthier person for myself and my family to be a more energetic father
to run around with my children. I had no motivation and a poor diet.

After running into Mick at a event he was encouraging me to join a 6 week challenge as it would be great for me
and change my life.

So glad I did!! So far I've lost 29kgs.I'm feeling the best I have in years. Loving the boot camps and classes the support for
the staff is amazing. Any question is happily answered just want to thank everyone at beyond body limits for helping me.

I can't wait to achieve my goals as time goes on 💪

When I joined this challenge it wasn’t really
about losing weight for me, it was about
finding me again. Making time for myself,
and getting my health
& fitness back, something that I’d just
pushed to the side, because that’s what Mums do!

I’m so happy that I randomly saw the
promotional ad for this 6 week challenge
that day as it’s been the best decision to join this challenge.

Some of the positives from the challenge:

1. My husband and I have been loving being
back in the gym, eating healthy food again
and with covid it’s definitely helped with
our mental and emotional
health & well being
2. Meeting Tash Winter and Tiare GC my 2
gym besties, it’s been so nice having that
accountability buddy’s there with me at 5.45am each day
3. Weight loss 1.1kgs
4. Amazingly I’ve lost 21.5cm and I’m starting to build muscle and see definition in my body

Thank you so much to Michael O'Sullivan and
Cassie Fagan you guys are the best!!

𝐈'𝐌 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐃𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐘𝐄𝐓!
As my job is all about helping others, I focused on them more than myself which wasn't serving them or myself. So I had to step up and change!
To begin with I was on the building plan then dropped it back to shred. I'm happy to say I've lost 3.5kg, hips and belly down 4.5cm, arms up over 1cm in growth each side.

I'm feeling more motivated, happy, but on the physical side Cassie pushed me to max my deads at 145kg, I'm Consistently squatting 100kgs.
Big thanks to everyone I've been able to train with, who've made me lift the heavier things and to Cassie & Michael for pushing us all.

I joined BBL in October 2019. My goals for joining BBL were to lose weight, get stronger, wear swimmers and be happy. I have lost 4kg since joining and I’m also getting a lot stronger. I really love that BBL is a family friendly environment, everyone is so welcoming and helpful. There is a huge variety of classes and they are always different. All of the trainers are really insightful and helpful. Joining BBL was the best thing I could have done for my health and fitness.💪

It all started in the August when I saw a mate do a challenge at Body Beyond Limits & I said to myself, time to give the 1 month challenge a go. Let’s just say 5 months later & I’m still going. Just to break it down into 3 simple steps. 1. First step is to make the call to BBL & make it happen. 2. Be true to yourself & Never Give Up. & 3. Every decision you make is always the right one. The way this challenge has changed my mind set is… I love the feeling of starting each day doing something good for myself, the exercise lifts my mood, and especially being in a group environment brings us together to inspire each other to keep going. It also just gives me more energy in everyday life. I cannot thank the trainers enough, they push us and support us, especially Honie, Paul, Michael and staff. A big thanks to all of them for pushing me. The Myzone bands have taken it to a whole new level, in the way it tracks your every move to help to achieve your goals. A must have item! BBL is completely out of my way from where I live, but is definitely worth travelling to as its one of the best gyms I have ever been to, the people, the classes, the atmosphere and support is awesome. Definitely a family vibe. My starting weight was 97.6 My current weight 5 months later is 87.3 And still going…

I’ve been training at BBL for around ten months now and couldn’t be happier with the results I’m achieving. Consistent training and healthy eating has never been a strength of mine but the motivation, guidence and support provide to me by the bbl team has been just what I needed. I first started training with mick because I wanted to learn how to train my body properly and I needed someone to push me and motivate me, which he certainly has done. I am continually seeing results and hitting new pb’s, i also feel like I’m learning something new with every session from different training techniques to the importance of fueling your body with the correct foods and resting your body when it needs it. I can’t recommend bbl highly enough, the gym, fitness classes and boot camps have something for everyone and cater for all fitness levels. Thank you to all the trainers and staff at bbl that make it the best gym in town.

I have been a member of BBL for the past 7 months. I began with the classes to improve my cardiovascular health after having been out of any kind of physical training for over 2 years. The classes are run by wonderful trainers. Very supportive and switched on. Always making sure every member doesn't have any restrictions beforehand and then happily modifying the class to each individuals capacity. The care factor of BBL's trainers is on point!! After aprox 3 months I decided to get some PT sessions to show me correct form and technical aspects of weight lifting in the Gym. I stepped away from classes to start working on my goals. Once the amazing PT's gave me the tools I was confident enough to work on my goals on my own. All the members at BBL are fantastic. A very supportive family type of environment, a real team. Mid way through my journey to date i took The Raw Challenge at Doyalson with two of the PT's and another cpl of BBL's members. This kick started my personal challenge to myself to get my butt into gear for the next one because it literally kicked my ass. The PT's stayed by my side the entire obstacle course, giving constant encouragement and support. I remember how daunting it was stepping into the weights room on my own for the first time. So much masculinity in that room. I am so glad I didn't let fear hold me back because all those big guys make you feel welcome. A smile, an unsolicited but welcomed form correction. All egos are left at the door. I am smashing my goals and really proud of myself. Many people I'm noticing are asking me when I'm going to stop, saying things like "but your tiny, don't lose anymore". My journey will never be over, it's just the beginning of an entire lifestyle overhaul. I can not thank BBL enough for giving us this space to train and it's PT's and members for being a constant force of support. My start weight was 117kg, my current weight is 72kg. Join BBL you won't regret it 👊

Starting the 30 day challenge, I was more focused on just eating healthier!
Not only did I achieve a much healthier eating schedule, I’ve also toned up and lost a lot more weight than I expected!

The BBL crew was amazing, they motivated me and kept up to date on my progress from week to week, they also pushed me to my limits in the classes, ensuring I was doing my best and getting the most out of them.

After 30 days, I’ve lost 5kgs! And 30 cms in measurements all up!!!

Couldn’t thank BBL enough! They’ve really changed my bad habits early on in my fitness journey with the challenge!!

Wanting to loose some of the dad bod I’d been slowly acquiring over the last few years and after speaking with Michael in January, I joined Body Beyond Limits on a 30 day Body Shift Challenge. The first couple of classes showed me just how unfit I had become and honestly it was hard! But after a few classes, I realised the intensity was still there but I could push a lot harder and recover faster. The meal plan and nutrition support was great and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed eating clean and appropriately to my goals.
I’ve lost 7.1 kgs in 30 days, my fitness is the best it’s been in years and I feel amazing!
The Challenge was great, I recommend it to anyone who really wants to make a change and is committed to put in the effort and it’s the amazing team, the facilities and the culture at BBL that made my decision to stay on as a member and continue with my goals an easy one.

I joined BBL in February after having my second baby late December. I wanted to loose the weight I gained through my pregnancy and get my fitness back. I was nervous to join a new gym but from the minute I joined I felt welcome and not one bit hesitant to turn up. In the time I have been with BBL I have completed a couple of challenges and always try to attend the kid friendly 9:30 sessions and if time allows a session in the gym. These sessions have pushed me and my fitness has increased week by week. I have also met some awesome ladies through attending!! To date I have lost 13kg and 59cm and back to my pre baby weight! Thanks for being so welcoming, supportive and pushing me to achieve great results

I started my BBL journey in November 2017, working with Mick a few times 2-3 times per week and learning my own way through the gym the others.
During our PT sessions he really showed me how to exercise and eat right for my body and within 3 months I had dropped 38cm and 3% body fat - now we are concentrating in growing lean muscle.
I’m excited to be working towards lifting heavy weights with Mick - it’s making me strong, lean and fit.
I love eating good food and being a good role model for my two year old.
The BBL family is so supportive and are wanting you to succeed - it’s super refreshing to have them commenting positively on the work you do and egging you on to more.
Best decision I made for myself was to call this gym for help.

Never in my life did I think I would be one of these before and after pics. I saw them and thought that will never be me. After having 3 kids I always made excuses. Enough was enough. I was introduced to Michael at Body beyond bootcamp with boxing and the rest was history. Now I use Body beyond limits gym and plan my week around my workouts craving them. I eat better, feel better and am so much more happier and confident. Im now almost 20kg down thanks to the BBB 60 day nutrition challenge. I would highly recommend signing up.. Thankyou so much BBB ur my life saver!! Becky Smith.✊✊?

Rachel is one of our most active members not only has she transformed her life, but the life's of her friends and family! Rach has lost over 35cm and 6kg of body fat since taking part in our nutrition challenges! Congratulations champion! ?✌?️‍♂️?‍♂️

Rachel and her husband Adam are one of our ordinal members and help create the culture of BBL. 75% of our members are couples and Adam and Rach have worked hard to have a healthy family lifestyle.

I have trained at BBB since the early days. Between boot camps, PT sessions in the shredded shed and learning how to eat properly my wife and I lost 50 kgs between us. I was excited about Mick opening up his Gym but a wasn’t really a Gym person. I continued with the bootcamp session but decided to give the Gym ago around September last year. I love training in the Gym as well as doing bootcamp. The people who train at BBB/BBL are inspiring and supportive. It’s great to see how far some people have come on their health and fitness journey and it’s good to see the new members who are just starting. A big thanks to Megan Chapman who puts up with my sweat every Monday, all the awesome Trainers at BBB/BBL, Michael O’Sullivan who is a great coach, but most of all too Kerrilyn Jeffery who is my inspiration. I’m now fitter, faster, stronger and my Karate has improved greatly as a result.

I started training properly at BBL when my youngest son was about 6 months old and I realised I was still rocking maternity clothes on the reg, and was far from still being pregnant.
I had always half assed any attempts to lose weight, i was always motivated for about a week and then thought exercise = hard, nuggies = life.

I was so embarrassed, the scales had hit triple digits and my ankles got sore even walking with the pram. I knew I needed to make a drastic change to provide a better example for my sons.

I started taking notice of what people were doing at BBL, talking to other members and asking the trainers for advice on nutrition and training programs. I made training a priority and stopped making excuses like “I don’t have time” or “I’m too busy with the boys”. I take advantage of the gyms kids area and join in on family boot camp night. I go before work, or after work, or on the weekends...even when my 1 year old has only given me an hour sleep!

I’ve now dropped 29kgs, 3 dress sizes and am not embarrassed to go out places with my husband and kids anymore. My husband Chris has been my biggest supporter throughout this process, teaching me everything he knows too. BBL is such an incredible environment, encouraging and empowering members to be their best and to challenge themselves, I couldn’t have done it without BBL!!

I went away for a family holiday in January this year and whilst doing theme parks etc I wasn't comfortable within myself and didn't really want to swim because of my weight. I was tired all the time and had no energy and when I look back, I really wasn’t living my life. Looking back on the previous year where my pop passed in Jan 18 and Nan passed in November 18, I decided it was time to start a journey to get myself where I should be.
My wife's work has fitness passport so I jumped online and to find a gym I could visit on the way home from Beresfield and found Body Beyond Limits!

This gym has the most amazing members and trainers! Right from day one Mick got right into may head and set me up on some goals that I could never break and motivation from his own journey and why he now loves helping people. Mick sorted my nutrition plan and gave me advise along the way and was Mick for my first session then Pauly once a week since and haven't looked back. Love the way the team push me and keep me on track. I've lost 35.5kg kg as of today since the last week of February, dropped 3 pant sizes and had to buy 2 new belts and a few new pairs of shorts. Since joining I have changed jobs and now working at Warnervale and have no intention of leaving BBL and drive up from Morisset 3 days a week.
The goal is to fit into a BBL singlet and jumper by the end of the year so keep an eye out for my post in December!

I started training at BBL not long after it first opened. Owning my own painting business keeps me working flat out and takes a lot of toll on my body, training 6 days a week at BBL has helped me build so much strength and being in my early 40's I am more fit than I have ever been. I have met some great friends since joining up and we have plenty of laughs while training. I have to put a shout out to Mick, Paul and Josh for all their amazing knowledge and expertise in helping me along the way. Adam..

Hi my name is Cody i started this journey at Body Beyond Limits at 132kgs I'm now down to 108 and I'm not looking back i have so much more energy since taking part of the last 2, 30 day body shift challenges and I LOVE the food.

Mick and the trainers are so supportive and never put you down if you fall off the wagon. I have met so many amazing people that train at body beyond limits and the encouragement and support is mind blowing. All the members get amazing results and I love helping the new members when they sign up.

Since started bootcamps and the gym feeling so much better about myself i still have a ways to go but I'll get there. i had a few injuries here and there but they're not gonna stop me getting where i want to be. Cody Lindley

After 3 pregnancies, including 2 with gestational diabetes and being diagnosed with and treated for thyroid cancer, I was in need of some self care........ I have always been on the larger side and always struggled to lose weight, but I was advised to loose weight by my specialist, so I signed up for the Beyond Limits 42 Day Body Shift Challenge.

I GAVE IT MY ALL AND FOR 42 DAYS I CHOSE ME!!!! I found that there were so many classes there was never an excuse to miss a day, if I couldn’t make one there was always another one at a different time and all the instructors were so supportive and encouraging and it didn't matter about our fitness levels. We were always given options to suit.

The meal plan was amazing, I was never hungry and the flavours were very satisfying so I never felt like I was missing out.

Best thing for me was everyone was on a journey....... all at different stages but all willing to share their experiences and support me on my journey, first gym I have been to that I never felt like I was the odd one out.

So after 42 Days I have lost 13.1kg, 60cm and dropped two clothes sizes........ but what is immeasurable is that I feel healthy and full of energy for the first time in years, I can’t recommend this challenge enough for anyone needing to get fit ❤️

Cheers Kristy

Ok so I had been feeling a bit down on myself for a while have been slowly growing out and not up for a while !

Also being a single father with two teenage daughters kept me busy. I didn't think I would have time to do something like this and had a poor diet too much beer.
So I thought what have I got to lose, if I can finish the 6 weeks that's an achievement in itself if I can get my target that's a bonus !
The first fitness test freaked me out and made me realise how unfit I actually was ! I stuck to the food nearly all the time and did at least 3 bootcamps a week, plus a weights session or two. I could see and feel changes after the first week!!!
Mick and the staff all kept me motivated along the way
The boot camps were fun , had a few laughs met some good people along the wAy. Shred was / is my favourite bootcamp on a Monday at 5pm!
The gym wasn't full of tossers or he men so I felt comfortable.
Got my body scan done at the half way point.It was pleasing to see I was heading in the right direction.
The trainers were awesome, gave lots of great advice didn't make you do anything that wasn't safe or you were not capable of.
I Got to the end which I was stoked about but the
Bonus was I got my target!!!
Self esteem is great, health is great and I'm feeling on top of the world!!
I have a new way to live!!!
Feel healthier and a lot more energy
I Can't thank mick and his staff enough
Top job crew!!!!

BBL MEMBERS GET RESULTS...???

BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO STEPH..?

Please read her amazing testimonial about our challenges..??

I have just completed the 6 week challenge and have learnt a lot. From nutrition support with a dietician and training guidance from all of the great staff at body beyond I am feeling fitter, healthier and more informed about the choices I am making for my body. I lost 4% body fat, and gained LOADS of muscle. Most importantly I was accountable to myself with my eating and working out. The Facebook group and support from the other challengers was inspiring. Thank you for a great 6 weeks. I am feeling on track to keep working on my fitness goals. Stephanie..? — feeling motivated

Shane is no stranger to Body Beyond Beyond Limits. He was a member with us a while back and absolutely killed it. But life got in the way and he had to leave us for a while.?

Then in april he made an AMAZING come back in our latest 42 Day challenge.. Killing it at training and smashing the criterior..There is no stopping with his training.

Here are a few words for this legend...?

Joining the 42 day challenge wasn't really about losing the kgs for me it was more to hold myself accountable to getting back into the gym and eating the right foods for my body. I've lost over 20 kgs with body beyond bootcamp/limits previously when I used to train with mick and the guys before getting an injury at work which prevented me to get to the gym and led to a downward spiral of crappy eating and no exercise which led to me putting 30kg back on. I was at the point where I was struggling to get out of bed or had little to no energy for day to day activities. So when I seen the ad pop up on Facebook I took it as a sign to get my butt back into gear and smash it out as I knew the guys at BBL would help me get results and change my mindset the same way they have before and at the end of the 42 days and 14.5kg lost and a whole new outlook on life the challenge was definitely a success and the outcomes I set for myself were definitely achieved ???

"It's hard to avoid thinking about what people think of me, but for me it's natural. People judge. However, I used to let my ideas of what others thought control my decisions a lot more than I do now, and the difference feels great. I still think about what others think but I don't let it fill me with pressure to meet their standards!!!
Hi my name's Paul Taufaao,

I moved here to Newcastle from Sydney recently to start fresh. I was overweight, depressed, alcoholic and smoked over a packet of cigarettes a day. I was on the verge of a mental break down.

I let go of myself so much that I couldn't even look at myself in the mirror. I just wanted to feel great about myself again!!!

I came across Body Beyond limits gym from a family member who referred me and told me about how great there service was so I thought I'd check it out. I looked them up on FB and made an appointment with Mick to sign up. I hesitated and changed my mind a million times but I eventually got in there and signed up.

It was the best decision I made for myself in a longtime and little did I know that I would meet some of the greatest people that I now call family. I signed up but never actually went to the gym for 2 whole weeks lol kept making excuses for myself!!

Until I came across the 42 day challenge and something inside me just made me feel like this is what I needed to do, so I joined and I couldn't be more happier with myself and my progress over the last 6 weeks. Big shout out To Michael O'Sullivan, Honie Kilian, Paul Schneider, Jack Manahan, felicity and Jazz for all your hard work dedication and motivation, I wouldn't have made it this far without you all.

Stop making excuses for yourself you can do anything if you put your mind to it. I DID !!!
I still have a long way to go but I'm super proud of myself and my efforts ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE
STAY BLESSED ❤️

We are super excited to announce the member of the month for June Katelin Minter..? 10Kg down..?

Well done on making member of the month and for killing it at training and for your incredible transformation in the April 42 day challenge!! We are super proud of you!

??Here are some words from Katelin below

“ I’m so grateful for the last 6 weeks that I’ve spent with body beyond limits as I’ve not only lost weight but started and whole new lifestyle that I love, I cannot wait to continue my journey with a healthier lifestyle and mindset thanks to bbl “

We are super proud of our challengers and Grace certainly is someone who has climbed many hurdles and really kicked some bum not only during the challenge but continues to do so with us.

Well done on your amazing results Grace

It was definitely a challenge and it felt like I wouldn't ever make it but 6 weeks later and 8kg lighter I can now see a massive difference
I feel I have so much more energy, a better look on life and Ive had so many compliments since doing the challenge which is pushing me to make a better me for the future
I also noticed along with the weight loss and muscle gain my posture is so much better, I don't hurt as much anymore and can stand a lot of straighter without a hunch, I can stand tall figuratively and literally! ?

6 week challenge has been great. Its actually been a lifesaver I think. Kickstarting my health journey. It’s been hard but in the best way. I’ve had to change the way I think about food and exercise which has been a huge hurdle over the years for me, but I’m so glad that I’ve started. Huge thanks to Mick, Paul, Honie and all the other challenge friends who have been on this journey too! 11.3 kg down Still got a long way to go but I’m excited about the journey ahead! If you want to make a change in your life BBLFam can help. Dav
