Today we are celebrating legend Shelly West! Shelly is one of our fresh faces, she has only been training with Terrific Fitness since August 2022. Shelly started her journey with us by taking part in our ‘28 Day Hormone Rebalancing Program’ and is now an official VIP! When Shelly first joined TF she struggled with her self-confidence as well overcoming the huge obstacle of never being one to exercise. Shelly took a leap of faith and since embarking on her journey with us she has shown herself, her daughters and to everyone, her true growth! Shelly is now averaging 5 classes a week, creating relationships, building strength and so much more!

Shelly’s results speak louder than words! Whilst participating in the ‘28 Day Hormone Rebalancing Program’ Shelly has dropped 4.5kgs of Body Fat, 1 Level of Visceral Fat, lost 6.7kg of Weight, and has boosted her hydration by 1.3%! This is in just 28 days of working with us!

I cannot express how proud I am of all of your hard Shelly! Keep up the sensational work Shelly!! Your determination, commitment and strength is nothing but admirable!

Here is Shelly’s story in her words:

“Over the last 4yrs or so my body was doing all sorts of tripped out things ie: crazy low iron levels, overactive thyroid to under active thyroid to thyroid miraculously correcting itself (go figure). My doctor gave no explanation other than “it just happens sometimes”.  I gained a ridiculous amount of weight & carried it in places my body never has before. My anxiety was getting the better of me, I was always tired, my joints were sore, my hair was falling out & thinning, skin was dry & getting major breakouts, black circles under my eyes (the list goes on. I didn’t recognise the person staring back at me in the mirror.

My confidence plummeted; I was feeling trapped in my own body & was embarrassed at how I felt I’d let myself go. So much so, that I basically shut myself off from everybody.

Terrific Fitness kept popping up on Facebook. Most of the symptoms I was experiencing were mentioned in the 28 Day Hormone Rebalance Challenge call out.

I realised that I had to do something instead of sitting there complaining & feeling sorry for myself – I had nothing  to lose, so I got the courage up to contact TF.

Terri got in contact with me and low and behold, somebody actually understood me. It was the call that turned things around.  Terri explained why my body was doing what it was and why I was feeling the way I was feeling. I will never be able to put into words the sense of relief I felt in knowing that there was something they could offer to help me feel human again. Needless to say, I agreed to take part in the 28 Day Hormone Rebalance Challenge, and it was the best decision I have ever made!

I love the fact that TF isn’t like a “normal” gym. All the Coaches are amazing and you are surrounded by likeminded people that welcome you, they support each other with absolutely NO JUDGMENT!!

Since joining TF, the results have far outweighed my expectations. I have gained energy, strength & drive. I’ve lost some weight, inches and am slowly increasing my fitness level. The personalised eating plan has taught me to make healthier choices, not only for myself but for my family also.

My most important achievement so far though is actually feeling better within.

I still have a lot of work to do with regards to my weight loss, strength & confidence but now I know that it is something I CAN achieve.

Thank you to my coach Emilia, along with Terri and the TF Team for supporting me and making me believe in myself!!” – Shelly West
