BAXTER BASICS TRANSFORMATIONS
GET COMFORTABLE, YOU’RE ABOUT TO WITNESS SOMETHING INCREDIBLE
Katie Carter
I have lost 25kg and 58cm around my body
I have used every excuse there is known to man not to exercise. In 2002 I had my first back operation due to falling off a horse when I was young. In 2004 I was back under the knife having a complete fusion done on my lower back. This gave me the best excuse not to exercise or get into any sports because I didn’t want to hurt my back again. I piled on the kgs over the 10 years from that point. I knew I had to do something and had tried the fad diets and exercising on my own, however this never lasted as I would quickly lose motivation and again come up with excuses. That was until I found Baxter Basics and of course my 2 fantastic trainers – Darren and Jimmy
I started with Baxter Basics back in May 2012. After meeting Darren straight away I knew I would have a fantastic trainer who would push me to the max. Having that first weigh in really opened up my eyes. Standing on the scales and seeing 123.7kgs show up really scared me (although deep down knowing that this wasn’t actually the heaviest I had been). After my first session I asked myself “what have I gotten myself into” as I was that exhausted and unfit that I didn’t think I would last another one. It didn’t take long for my “are you kidding me” face to come out when Darren would ask me to do something that I didn’t think I would be able to but never did I not try. I went from training one day a week to 3 times a week and loving every minute of it. Over the past 18 months I have suffered with what seems like never ending injuries but Darren is always able to work around them and I still leave my session all sweaty and exhausted.
For me this has been a long journey in changing my life and way of living, but I can happily and proudly say that over this time I have lost about 25kgs and nearly 60 centimeters off my body with the help of Darren. My fitness level is the best it has ever been (well for as long as I can remember). I still have a wee bit left to reach my ultimate goal but I know that with the support and encouragement that I get from Darren that I will get there.
