Hi! I'm Bec, 36 years old, high school art teacher, mum of 2 gorgeous kids and gym fanatic. Taree Elite Fitness has been a place of training, pain and building friendships for the last 4 and 1/2 years and proved to be the seed that grew into a huge love of Fitness competitions. But this is not how I always looked.

    

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Like most mums pregnancy leads to weight gain but mine was a little excessive to say the least, tipping the scales at 90kgs. This 30kg weight gain lead me to my love of cardio and weight training and a passion for all things related to my health. With a little encouragement and advice from a fellow Taree Elite member I was coaxed into the World of Figure competitions in 2006. A few years down the track and I am hooked! Strong, toned women are beautiful and resistance training is a great aspect to incorporate into your program. It helps raise the metabolism, aids fat-burning and builds strong bones to fend off osteoporosis in later life.You go girls!!!

Support is a must in this sport and I wouldn't be where I am without my fantastic husband Todd, who puts up with my 5am mornings, afternoon training, dieting and crazy mood swings! So keep those positive people in your lives close, they are a life saver. All of the trainers, owners and friendly faces at the gym have spurred me on through the difficult times and helped me achieve my success and I can't thank them enough. 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2009 will be a year of rest in terms of competition but that doesn't mean you won't see my friendly face at the gym. I need to train heavy and hard to increases size and come back bigger and better for the stage in late 2010. Without the 4-5 hours of training hanging over my head, my goal is to take on my Personal Training Accreditation so I can pass on my knowledge and enthusiasm for all things gym related to other like minded people. I already have few people lined up for programs! So don't be afraid to come and have a chat, I am always willing to give you a hand.

I believe we all have a fitness champ within us, we just have to focus, sweat and push ourselves beyond our comfort zone. You might be surprised at just how amazing you can be!!

Angela Hain 

 

Hi my name is Angela Hain and I’m 26 years old. I currently work Full Time in the Employment Industry and I’m also an instructor for Taree Elite Fitness.

I’ve been involved in the fitness industry since I was about 13 years old. My aunty was an instructor here at Taree Elite Fitness and my sister (who also worked here in the crèche) and I would often attend her classes both morning and night, the instructors were all so fit and very motivating to say the least. My sister eventually moved into the apartment upstairs and I started staying with her quite a bit to enable me to train in the gym as often as I could and although I didn’t really have a great deal of knowledge regarding training techniques I soon discovered how much I loved to train and I picked up bits and pieces along the way.

In 1999 at the age of 16, I met the most inspirational person in my life – My Husband Greg, a natural bodybuilder. It is from here that I fully began to understand and appreciate the fitness industry and even more so the sport and art of Bodybuilding. I have attended many shows to support Greg in this sport and have gained a lot of knowledge regarding training techniques, posing, dieting/nutrition and fitness along the way. In 2005 I decided to further this knowledge and get a qualification behind me, which lead me to complete my Certificate III in Fitness.

Then along came 2006. As a self confessed chocoholic and with a history of depression I soon found myself in a huge rut of self destruction and before I knew it I had gained a considerable amount of weight and my mental state was getting worse. How could a qualified fitness instructor get to this stage? Easy, I LET myself get to that stage and let me tell you, it wasn’t easy to get out of that rut, but I DID do it and it IS possible. All it takes is the will to WANT to change and you can make anything happen.

In 2007 with some help from a close friend and my ever patient husband, I dieted for my first ever Sports Model Competition. I lost 12kgs and looked better then ever. Then to top it all off, I won my category!!! 1^st Place, 2007 WNBF Central Coast Sports Model. I definitely couldn’t have done it without all the support I received.

Now currently I am studying my Certificate IV in Personal Training so that I can encourage and support others to be the best that they can be. I love this industry, I love to be healthy, I love to be fit and I am passionate about the Human Body. I want to use all of this knowledge and experience to benefit others who are searching for a better quality of life. And trust me, it really is! Anything is possible if you just put your mind to it. No one ever said it would be easy, nothing great ever comes that easily, but with persistence and assistance – YOU CAN CHANGE!! I’m living proof.

So come in and see us at Elite Fitness, there are plenty of friendly faces about to offer support and advice. And if you’re seeking a personal trainer for that one on one approach, come and see me or my husband Greg, we’d love to help you reach your ultimate goals!

Live life, Stay Strong, Train Hard, Be Consistent and treat your body well, you only get one of them and it has to last you a long time.
