Congratulations to our July Member of the Month Sally Cotterill.


Sally has been training with Key To Life for 5 1/2 years now which displays her ongoing commitment to her health and wellbeing and shows that you can make exercise part of your lifestyle for the long term.


Sally has done it all during her time here including Fun Runs, Winning Winter Challenges and regularly attending 4-5 Sessions per week. 


Well done to you Sal and all the hard work you have put in over the 5 1/2 glorious years as a KTL Member. Absolutely Amazing!

Over to you Sally


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


I joined Key to Life over 5 years ago on the recommendation of a friend and I have never looked back. I wanted to introduce a regular exercise routine into my life so began attending one boxing session a week. Next thing I knew I was coming to another boxing session, then boot camp, a personal training class and even running! I currently train 5-6 days a week with Key to Life and I feel I am really seeing the benefit of consistent training. 


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


I like the variety of classes that are offered and each session is different. Training with a friend, and with the new friends I’ve made at Key to life, keeps it fun and social as well as meeting my fitness goals. 


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


Boxfit classes are probably my favourite sessions, I do three of them a week! They are a great cardio workout as well as toning for my arms. 


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


I often use some of the smoothie recipes in my daily diet and I love the protein porridge! Exercising regularly has made me more conscious of what I eat and how it makes me feel, but also allows me to enjoy my wine and the odd cheese platter too! 


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


Maintaining an exercise routine for this long has been fantastic. Even when I have holidays, I still come straight back to training and pick up where I left off. I really enjoyed participating in (and winning!) the Winter Warrior challenge last year. It was a fun way to keep motivated through the winter months. I have also recently reached over 10 kgs in weight loss which I am super proud of.


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


Just start and keep coming back! Key to life is a really supportive and fun environment to train in, you won’t regret joining.
