Amanda McDonald: October 19 - Member of the Month

Amanda has been training with Key To Life for 1 year now which is an amazing achievement for her and shows her focus and commitment towards her health and well-being.


Amanda has been involved with our Outdoor Group Fitness Classes - Monday Boxing and Saturday Bootcamp Group Sessions along with a regular 3on1 Personal Training Session with her friends on Thursday night. She continues to push herself out of her comfort zone while having some fun along the way. We are so very proud of Amanda and what she has achieved during her 12 months with us. Looking forward to seeing what the rest of the year has in store for her and we will enjoy taking this journey with her.


Over to Amanda for her advice on Training, Motivation & Lifestyle.....


What is your favourite Key To Life Training Session and Why ?

My favorite Key to Life session would be Personal Training, as Rohan always mixes it up and he gets me working at my full capacity during each and every session. 


If you use any Key To Life recipes, what is your Favourite ?

The Green Curry Chicken is my favorite recipe, it is really yummy! 


What is your biggest motivation ?

Besides getting fitter and stronger and feeling better, my friends who I do the various sessions with are my biggest motivators. We support each other to achieve our fitness goals and it makes it more fun. 


What is your biggest accomplishment you have achieved during your time with us at Key To Life ?

My biggest accomplishment was due to the 8 week challenge. Before completing the challenge my diet wasn’t the best, and through completing the challenge and following the information provided I have been able to change a lot of my eating habits. 

 

What advice would you give to somebody just starting at Key To Life ?

Work at your own pace and don’t worry about anyone else. We all started at the same point. It's just that others are a little further along on their fitness journey than you but stick with it and you will be glad you did.
