"My name is Jo and I am a 46 year old mum of two grown boys (21 and 23) still living at home with us.

In Sept 09 I hit rock bottom in my life with my weight being at an all time record high and my emotions and energy levels crashing to an all time low. I joined a local gym with a friend and for 3 months went diligently along working out.

I was so upset to find my weight continuing to go up and up that I finally went to my doctors and was diagnosed as being hypo thyroid with an auto immune condition called hashimotos. So, after researching on the internet I at last understood what was happening to me, but I lacked the emotional and physical strength to get back on track.

I came across Thrive Fitness during my internet searching and called Nicole and made an appointment. I must confess when I first saw this bright tiny young woman my initial reaction was ‘Great, this girl is not going to understand this hole that I am sinking into!', but 18 months on I have to eat my words.

Nicole has been wonderful - she took the time from day one to learn about my medical issues and has worked with me in such a supportive way, she gives me a good kick when I need it but is intuitive in the times when I need to change pace.

I have never had a work out when we have not had a good laugh which makes the exercise not only bearable but I enjoy going to see her. My start weight in Sept 09 was 70kgs I am now 63.8kgs and still slowly loosing. I had a metabolic age of 47yrs but am now at 37yrs. I have almost forgotten how bad I felt back then as I have so much to enjoy now so thanks Nicole you not only have become a friend but you have helped me get back my life on track."
