For those that don't know me... my name is Trish and I'm a 51 year old wife and mother.
Throughout my life I had always been active, especially in my younger BC years (before children)... ballet, netball, squash, running etc! Priorities change with marriage, children and work commitments. I would play the occasional game of netball/squash but nothing regular.
This was now my life for around 15years. I wasn't unhappy, I certainly wasn't as fit as I use to be, but I was content... and in 2009 that all changed.
My mother, my best friend was diagnosed with dementia...and I was suffering a workplace injury which was escalating with everyday in every way. In October 2010 my mother passed away and in February 2011 I left my job. The next 4 years was a nightmare! I was broken mentally and physically. I was on antidepressants, I was drinking heavily and I did not leave my house unless it was absolutely necessary, it was my safe haven! Then one day my husband came home from work and said, "get changed we're going to the gym!" I was not happy... but I thank god for that man everyday.
We joined the gym and would train regularly. I would look around the gym admiring all that were there having a go! But there was this one trainer who caught my eye... her name was Lisa of @tynancoreperformance. Lisa had this way with people: a strong yet sensitive approach accompanied with no BS... My kind of person! My husband made an appointment, and for my first session I was so nervous, so excited, and so not disappointed! Lisa was wonderful!
Over the next 12 months I trained with Lisa on a weekly basis and loved every session. Even when Lisa made the move to @the_concept_sdc a gym filled with the best equipment and classes I've ever seen, the staff Josh Santhou, Kirily Claut and Scott Hingston are absolutely amazing, true professionals! There was not a doubt in my mind that I was not following her.
Lisa and I have been training now for around 4years and I have never been as fit or as healthy as what I am today! Lisa never stops educating herself and absolutely loves passing on all her knowledge for you to be the best of what you want to be! Her caring nature for others is what I love mostly about her. This is more than just a job for Lisa... she genuinely cares and gets the utmost pleasure in seeing everyone succeed.
I still train on a weekly basis with Lisa and often think... What great decision it was to choose Lisa but more importantly how lucky I am to also call her my friend.
