Always time poor, Claire had to do something about her health and macros were the key
So many of us get caught up with the everyday happenings of life and losing track of time that we forget to take care of ourselves. Claire Gibson was no different, always rushing to get things done and seeing everyone else but herself as more important.
The 36-year-old got into the habit of eating fast food and junk, and found herself indulging in alcohol on an almost daily basis. She’d consider these as her ‘rewards’ for coping with her day, but after the COVID-19 lockdown of 2020 she took notice – her weight had blown out and somewhere along the way, she’d lost herself.
“It was a real kick in the guts when I wouldn’t swim in our pool with my children because I felt too overweight and self-conscious,” she recalled.
“I made a promise to myself that next summer I’d be in that pool having fun with the kids no matter what! I knew I needed a gym that offered nutrition support, and I did my research, finding that Body Fit Training would be the best fit for me.”
Where The Journey Started
BFT Hamilton North was Claire’s gym of choice, and she joined in January 2021 – almost immediately connecting and building a close friendship with owners Dominic and Simone DeGiorgio.
“They’ve created a fun and supportive community at the studio,” Claire said.
“I’ve made so many new amazing friends with the other members throughout my journey, training with people you like being around is so important because motivation is never an issue!”
“Our program runs 6 days a week from Monday to Saturday, and I have to go every day otherwise I’ll get serious FOMO. The BFT program varies from day to day so you get plenty of variety – the sessions include cardio, strength and stretching.”
