Esther Rella: June 25 - Member of the Month

Congratulations to Esther Rella our June Member of the Month.


Esther has been a member of Key to Life for three years participating in both our outdoor and studio classes over that time.  In more recent times Esther has found her passion with our Pilates and Yoga classes and now attends two Pilates and one Yoga class each week.


It has been a delight to watch Esther's progress in the time she has been with us and it is our pleasure to recognise her dedication and achievements as our KTL Member of the Month for June.


Over to you Esther:


1. What motivated you to start your health and fitness journey with Key to Life?


I moved suburbs over 10 years ago and needed another gym closer to home. After attending a franchise Gym in the local area, I never quite felt the same vibes as my prior gym and I lost interest.


KTL popped up on a Social Media page advertising their programs. I took up their free trial to an outdoor gym session and thereafter attended twice weekly.


After a few personal issues I left the outdoor training group to take some time out. I later was to return to trial the Pilates Group and I have been attending these classes on a weekly basis for quite some time.

 

2. What is it that keeps you attending your Key To Life session or sessions on a regular basis?


I call it "My Time".


Working from home in a very fast paced job and extremely sedentary I need to move my body. Pilates and Yoga classes are my body's friends to keep me active. The classes are low impact which suits my Fybromylagia condition. I suffered from hip pain in the past and I have noticed that over time the pain that I had experienced is next to nothing now.


I know that Pilates has played a positive impact to assist and manage the pain and discomfort.


3. What is your favourite Key to Life Training session or favourite exercise and why?


I started Yoga a few weeks ago when it was introduced as a regular class. Yoga for me has become such a wonderful destresser and relaxant for me mid week. Yoga for me is very important and I am thoroughly enjoying the class and learning something new .

 

4. If you use any Key To Life recipes, what is your favourite?


I have not had the pleasure as yet of trying one of the recipes. I will.


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


Getting back to a fitness routine has been a major accomplishment since finding KTL.


I enjoy attending the classes during the week and on a Saturday morning, having a few laughs and taking the time out for me.


Our lives are always so busy that it is easy to forget that we are the most important person in our lives and for me it is making my "Me time" once again.


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


KTL is a little community away from home. Everyone is friendly, and it's a fun environment and personal little gym.


KTL care about their members and they have something which can suit your needs, just ask the team at KTL :-)

Mindful eating is a practice that encourages individuals to pay full attention to the eating experience, from the moment food is prepared to the last bite. It involves being aware of physical hunger and satiety cues, savoring each bite, and recognizing the emotional triggers that often lead to overeating.
