The Red Wall of Gratitude.

Jerusalem had The Western Wall, China the Great Wall and Germany the Berlin wall.

At nept we have the Red Wall of Gratitude where our client express their gratitude.

Please feel free to contribute

Dear Tony,

I wish to express my gratitude of the personal training I have received from you at NEPT over the past 24 months.

When I started training, my fitness was at a very low level. With a hectic work schedule and 3 children I found it extremely difficult to keep up a fitness program that kept me fit and in shape.

After watching you compete in your body building competitions you inspired me to achieve my ultimate goal of completing the 42 km marathon in New York this year. I believe that without your motivation, dedication, well compiled fitness regime and positive attitude, I would have never reached my goal.

I wish to thank you for helping achieve my dream that 2 years ago I couldn’t imagine being able to complete. I now enjoy a healthier and happier lifestyle due to my increased fitness levels and highly recommend your skills to anybody seeking motivation and achieving a fitness goal.

Regards

Alex McIntyre.

The breaking point for me nearly three years ago.......

I was out of control, comfort eating to cope with the daily stress of life, sugar addiction, binge drinking salt fixes. End result, short breath, sleepless nights, fat gut pouring over my pants with a belt buckle dint on the underside, no breakfeast due to waking up with yellow bile to start the day, feeling faint almost everytime I stood up.

First solid meal of fast takeaway fix at about 3pm. Grease makes me feel better, fried chicken, chips, burgers, dim sims steamed and fried, sit down lunch at a restaurant tastes better with a bottle of red, scotch or beer or all of the above...

Dinner why not anytime after 8pm usually after 9.30. Steak chips, pizza, lamb, pork...meat and wine, beer to wash it all down.

Go out drink some more.

My suit sizes kept getting bigger around the waist, size 32, 34, 36, 38.. They kept getting tighter, my belt kept my constant reminders of where I was.

Father at last! My baby boy was born, I had to do something. I gained weight during the pregnancy, this is only normal if you're the mother. I had increase my breast size considerably and I was not lactating. My son was looking for food. It was not funny.

Anzac day 2005 my mate Billy visits me and tells me of this bald psycho who made him look great in a few months. Can I meet this Tony guy? What do you mean he picks his clients? "I'm on a strict diet and he is pushing me hard confirms Billy" Off we go to NEPT. Tony seems pretty serious, sounds like he knows what he is on about. Why don't you come to a couple of classes and see how you go..... that was nearly three years ago. In that time I have been pushed, worked and re aligned. I sleep 8 hours most nights, I enjoy a balanced diet, I think clearly and have been able to organise my Company to run effectively because it is now driven by a new me. The new me has by choice lost over 20 Kilos, enjoys fitted clothing, has a size 32 waist and has quit drinking alcohol, overcome the need for sugar and salt fixes. I go for runs, ride my bike with the best of them. I am there for my 2 children without the pregnancy flab!

I can only thank my life coach Tony Haranas.
Training was enjoyable, I made many friends at NEPT. The environment is awesome.

Tony helped me template my life changing habits. He followed through his end of the deal. He cared enough to help. He put up with me. No money can compensate what my mate Tony has done for me!

Hi Tony,

Just wanted to say thankyou for the re-assessment today.

What you taught me today was very empowering for me. For years I have trained and every couple of months I have hit the wall – ie feel exhausted, feel emotional, nose bleeds etc….and I plateau. I have had times where I have been so ill that I had to spend a week in bed just sleeping.

I was told that I just needed to push through that and train harder and push myself mentally and physically. When I didn’t have the strength to do this, I was told I was just not strong enough ie I was weak minded.

You have just made me realise that this is completely normal. Ie you go through phases mentally and physically when you train and it is cyclic. You need to listen to your body and what it tells you is right. I feel completely relieved and empowered by this knowledge…thanks for teaching me something new about myself.

I look forward to the journey of self discovery.

Have a great weekend.

Noela.
