Achieving You — Local services in Brisbane City

5yrs ago I was at my prime in my running. I was kicking goals with my races and loving life. I was attending a small local run club with amazing people and trainer who helped me achieve my goals. And then like most things the run club got cancelled and I found myself a little lost. I wasn’t finished with my journey, I had so many other goals to achieve and now I had lost my support group and although I tried to continue solo I felt like I was failing. I lost what I like to call “my running mojo” until…..

I signed up at “Achieving you”. Wow What a breath of fresh air. Janet and the crew are so welcoming and accomodating. I’ve only been with the gym for a short period of time but I already find myself signing up for challenges and looking forward to future events. I’m currently doing the 8 week running challenge and it feels amazing to be part of a group again. A group of all fitness levels so motivating and encouraging. Janet is terrific she’s passionate about fitness and extremely knowledgeable and genuinely cares about each individual that joins her gym. If you have any questions or worries she’s always there to have a chat and guide you through anything. In the past I have joined other gyms and have felt like just another number. But not here, here I feel like one of the team.

I’m exciting to get my mojo back in general fitness as well as my running and I can’t wait where my potential will take me with once again having such an amazing support group both by clients who attend the gym and all the trainers who take the classes. Ladies and Gentleman it feels like I’m home again hehe. Thank you Janet and everyone at “Achieving You” for all your help so far and continuing...

Jan 2021 6 months on and I’ve been attending my regular classes again, my core is actually stronger than before I was pregnant, I feel motivated and energized. I’m not a “gym person” I always hated the bright lights and the same sameness of the classes and feeling like I should be wearing make up to exercise... what keeps me going to AY (apart from the amazing friendships I’ve made) is the culture, the welcoming community atmosphere, the encouragement, the indoor/outdoor combo, the variety in my personal training as well as in the group sessions, the holistic approach to overall well-being, Janet’s ability to motivate and adapt during covid restrictions has been amazing and everyone has kept momentum because of her and the other great trainers. If you are in Brisbane and planning on self care for 2021 go check out achievingyou.com.au June 2020 I have been a member of AY for a number of years now and Janet has motivated me and guided me through so many life phases. Through PT, the classes and some of the Programs & Challenges, AY has given me overall strength & fitness, great nutrition advice, speed, agility & endurance for sport to help me be on my game & keep me injury free. More recently Janet kept me moving during my pregnancy and gave me exercises to help my body and mind be strong for childbirth, she is now working with me post-natal to re-gain my core strength. I can not recommend Achieving You...

I’ve been training with Janet and the team at Achieving You for just over 4 years now. I was feeling a little lost after going through a tough personal situation as well as an ankle reconstruction. I was hoping to lose weight and regain my strength and fitness. What I didn’t know is that I would find a community that would support and encourage me every single day to be the best version of myself. I’m happier, healthier and stronger than I’ve ever been.

Janet has supported me continuously by adapting my training through my first pregnancy, post pregnancy and little injuries along the way. Mum’s & Bub’s sessions gave me confidence to not only leave the house with a newborn but to regain strength after a difficult birth. She has also managed to turn me into someone that actually enjoys getting up at 5am in the middle of winter and going for a run. I never ever would have called myself a runner let alone actually enjoying it.

Joining Achieving You was one of the best decisions...
