Julieanne Matheson: September 22 - Member of the Month

Congratulations Julieanne (Jules) Matheson on being our September Member of the Month and our 2022 Ulitimate Winter Warrior.


You are truly an inspiration for us Jules and well deserving of title of Ultimate Winter Warrior.


Over to Jules to share her reflections on this year's winter warrior challenge...


I would have to say the winter warrior challenge has ignited my competitive spirit again, which has been lacking in the last few years due to injury. 


The comradery between all the KTL members and the fun activities/challenges along the way has been extremely motivating. 


The healthy food plan has kept me on track, I’ve lost weight, toned up, gained strength and feel energised throughout the day! 


Feeling strong and healthy, while having a laugh, keeping motivated, and being challenged is what it’s all about.


On Key To Life...


Key to life’s trainers over the years have been dedicated, encouraging and supportive of every person who trains with them. 


Each session is light hearted in banter with killer workouts that leave you breathless! Which is why I think they have so many long standing members. 


My personal goals have been achieved along the way because of the continued encouragement from KTL to step outside my comfort zone and just give it a go. In September 2018 I completed my first half marathon in Queenstown, something I thought I’d NEVER be able to do.


In October 2019 I had a knee operation and couldn’t train for 12 months due to recovery, the trainers at KTL kept in contact the whole time, checking in, offering advice & encouragement. 


This is what separates a great business from an exceptional business. 


And these are the reasons that I am still training with them today after 8ish years !

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.
