When I needed to make changes in my life to improve my health and fitness, I started working out with Tanya Gendle.

With Tanya’s guidance, support and motivation I have lost more than 20 kgs, got my health and fitness back and developed a strong and positive relationship with my body. I decided to work out to lose some weight that had crept up on me, protect myself from family problems, such as heart disease and diabetes, and learn healthy, attainable exercise habits.

I started working out at lunchtime boxing classes held at my workplace 12 months ago that were run by Tanya. When I needed to take my exercise to the next level and get that extra kick up the pants, I started personal training with Tanya. Tanya has her own great studio in Civic, and offers a challenging variety of exercise and training options to suit any body and any shape. She’s also extremely knowledgable about diet and nutrition, and has a sensible and realistic holisitic approach to health and fitness. Tanya has also helped me create a home workout environment that I can use when I move overseas this week.

Tanya has taught me some valuable lessons that I reflect on daily:

My body is my most valuable asset, and ir it’s not working properly, I can’t work properly.
Exercise needs to be, and can easily be, a regular part of your day. It doesn’t have to be complex or convoluted. You can get a great workout in a small space. I’m proof of that!
You can eat butter and still lose weight – it’s all about moderation, eating right, snacking occasionally and shifting your butt off the couch!
Tanya has been a major force in the significant, positive changes made in my life in the past 12 months. She’s motivating, supportive and understanding. If you’re committed to making changes in your life and are looking for that extra guiding hand, get in touch with Tanya Gendle. You won’t look back!

I started training with Tanya, in January 2008. I was depressed with how I looked and apprehensive about training, having never really exercised in my adult life.
My second child was 16 months old and I was in a rut. An additional hurdle for me, self imposed, was me being vegan.
My goal was to shed 12kg, lose the nanna bags under my arms, reduce the size of my thunderous thighs and develop some much overdue muscle tone.
Tanya comes to our place, early, two mornings a week. I’m not always thrilled to see her, Winter was especially hard but I’m always pleased I’ve done a challenging workout by 7.30am.  If exercising was contingent on me going to a gym, forget it! I would probably have put on weight instead of shedding some and, more importantly, build muscle and strength.

So now it’s October 2008.  I’m only 1kg away from my goal weight. Tanya’s introduced me to boxing, which is a very useful way to vent frustration. My nutrition is much better, thanks to Tanya. I keep a food diary that has me on the straight and narrow (another Tanya initiative). Tanya is personable, professional, funny and knows my limitations are much higher than I think they are! Who would have thought I’d consider my Personal Trainer a friend?

I have undertaken a personal training regime with Tanya Gendle for a period of approximately 3 months. I have found her to be a very competent, supportive and inspiring personal trainer. She has helped me in the areas of personal fitness and nutrition, and I have come a long way towards reaching my own personal goals under her guidance. She has been a great support to me throughout my training sessions both emotionally and physically as I had made these changes to reaching my goals.

I would recommend undergoing a training schedule with Tanya to anyone serious about improving their physical fitness and wellbeing.
