REAL TRANSFORMATIONS

"I have struggled with my weight and have been unhappy within myself for as long as I can remember. The problem got worse after having my baby and I had no confidence.

I was persuaded by a family member to join Courtney’s 8 week challenge and although it was well outside my comfort zone, I decided to push myself. Courtney gave me the tools and knowledge to start on my health and fitness path and enabled me to achieve something that I could never have imagined. I would encourage anybody who thinks they can’t achieve weight loss, to just do it!"

Summer Challenge V1. Shred Winner!

"I've battled with my weight for the last 15 years - my heaviest being 125kg. Even when I lost weight (my weight fluctuated from 78-92kg seesawing up and down, I always felt like the girl who was a size 22. When I first started training with Courtney, I felt heavy, clumsy and worried I couldn't keep up. But Courtney gently encouraged me, helped me improve my technique and motivated me to keep on track.

Since training with Courtney since July last year, I've lost 19 kg, improved my fitness significantly but most importantly I've developed healthy habits that are easy for me to maintain. Working out is now something I look forward to every day. And going from eating 1000 calories a day to a healthier 1600, I have better health and more energy. Thank you, Courtney, for being a fun and supportive trainer!!"

"I have trained with Courtney for 2 years and during that time I have lost 20kg, but more importantly I have gained confidence.

I am doing things I never thought I would be able to do and I have so much more energy.

Courtney has kept me motivated, provided challenges and helped me stay focused on achieving my goals. Definitely recommend CTL (Courtney) as a PT."

​What advice would you give to someone new?
"There are no excuses - just get up and go. Set a routine, have an alarm set, roll out of bed and get to the gym. No one can do it for you."

"My whole life I had always been a smaller sized girl, but that all changed when I had my two babies. I had put on 15kg that just wouldn’t budge, and three dress sizes. I couldn’t fit into any of my clothes, I mainly wore my stretchy pjs and my partners clothes. I refused to buy bigger clothes because I didn’t want to accept that this was my size now.

It got to the point where I’d stay home for weeks on end, I couldn’t even go grocery shopping because I was too anxious, lacked routine and was just tired.
But then I found CTL and started exercising 3x a week. I’ve never exercised before, so I had no idea what I was doing, or how to get my body to move in certain ways. Courtney has been so encouraging, patient and informative. I have slowly improved my form week by week, getting stronger and more confident.

Now a few months later I’m feeling muscles in places that’s never been before, firming up instead of being all squishy, I’m starting to fit into some of my old clothes and I’m no longer anxious about leaving the house. Which leads to my two toddlers being happier cause they are no longer locked up in the house with me all day, and their mummy has the energy to get up and play.

I still have a long way to go and am excited to see to see the changes that will come, not only physically but mentally as well."

"I was the sort of guy that had so many "before" photos and "fitness baselines" that I had basically documented myself getting more and more out of shape. It wasn't that I didn't know how to eat well or what to do to exercise, I just never had the motivation to commit to it for longer than a week or two. It was what I wanted to do but I knew from a health perspective that I didn't really need to so I would quickly lose the drive.

Approaching Courtney and signing up to the CTL Accountability Package. Tracking meals was the biggest change, learning to keep my intake in check and stop the "blowout" days. Budgeting my intake to still allow take away meals 2-3 times a week whilst on the road for work whilst still keeping under my calorie threshold.

Secondly was Courtney herself. Having to report to her helped keep me honest, I was happy to let myself down but her following up and keeping me honest with myself is what made the difference.

These results are the result of change in mentality and evolution in my thinking. The most exercise I did over the course was walking the dog.

10/10 would recommend to anyone who is struggling to find the time to exercise but wants to see results."

A few days ago marked a massive milestone for Gavin and his fitness journey - 2 years of hard work, dedication, ups and downs, support and encouragement.

Just look at how healthy he is now! Words cannot describe how proud of you I am but I cannot imagine how you feel with the amount of weight lifted - body weight && YOUR DEADLIFT! 

"Two years ago after seeing this photo I decided to change my lifestyle. With support from my beautiful wife Wendy and an amazing PT Courtney Leishman I have achieved my goal, now for another."

"Prior to getting the gastric sleeve I was at my heaviest - 132kg. I got the surgery in November 2020 and started training with Courtney March 2021.

I went in thinking that it would be like an other PT session I've done before, I was very wrong. A year later I don't know what I would do without my weekly Semi-Private Sessions.

​

Courtney has helped me understand the flexibility of nutrition and training consistently. The one thing I really didn't expect was to be feeling so strong, I love that the most about training with CTL Coaching."

March 2021 - May 2022

Down 16.15kg & 81.6cm

"After having two kids I found myself in a unhealthy lifestyle of eating junk food and making excuses not to exercise.

I'm so happy I got to know Courtney and her work. I'm so happy with my achievement, don't feel hungry all the time, have managed (with Court's help) to include exercise into my routine and have the energy to carry on with my family routine.

Can't wait to continue on my healthy journey and be an good example for my kids."

Summer Challenge V1. Shred 2nd Place!

“I reached out Courtney on Instagram asking for help and guidance to get back into fitness.Due to my uni and work schedule I had put on a whopping 15kgs in the last 2 years and was pretty much feeling like dirt.

I tried on many occasions by myself and with other trainers to get back into a fitness routine.I was sick of the constant cycle of dieting and exercising with no results. It was at this point I reached out to Courtney at the end of Feb 2020.

Courtney was so helpful and welcoming and happy to spend some time to listen to what I wanted to get out of the PT sessions. She understood that it wasn't easy for me and was happy to change up my meal plans and training plans to suit my lifestyle.

Courtney has been one of the best PT's I have had. She is dedicated to her clients and wants the best outcome for her clients. I can't wait to kick some new fitness goals with Courtney within her new venture!”
