Maria Nickson: December 25 - Member of the Month

Congratulations to Maria Nickson our December Member of the Month.


​Maria has been a member of Key to Life for over 2 1/2 years. This is an outstanding achievement for Maria who has continued to work hard on her health and fitness to allow her to feel fitter stronger and have more energy for whatever the day throws at her.


Maria has consistently attended her two PT Sessions each week in the Key to Life Studio with her trainer Rohan. She loves lifting weights and combines this with a mix of cardio and boxing to improve her cardio fitness.


It has been a joy training Maria and seeing her strength and fitness improve over her time here.


Well done Maria on being our December Member of the Month, you are a Champion.


Over to you Maria:


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


I needed to get some sort of fitness going and at the same time my Osteo wanted me to start doing some specific exercises. 

 

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


II think the rapport with my Personal Trainer Rohan.


He can adapt any exercise to meet any ailments I have and is great at suggesting exercises I can do at home.


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


Mmm probably boxing, but I pretty much like them all.


I can say the one exercise I dislike is the push up :) 

 

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


I haven't tried any of the recipes so far.


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


Biggest accomplishment is that I have actually committed myself to coming here for over 2 years. I usually start at something but then give up. 


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


Keep doing it!  It is a rewarding investment in your own health.
