This week we are celebrating the incredible Joanne Fenech! When Jo joined Terrific Fitness following her 7-day free trial, she walked into the studio determined to work hard for her ultimate goal, to fit into her dream wedding dress. Joanne started training with us in July 2022 and her Wedding Day was October 14th the same year. Joanne participated in a variety of classes which were both strength and body weight styles as well as constantly asked questions on how to improve her results. Joanne also participated in our regular BCA (body composition analysis) Reviews, to check in on her progress. Since joining TF she has achieved amazing results both physically and mentally, changing both her physical as well as her mindset behind her results. You can see that all of Jo’s hard work did indeed pay off and you can see this legend standing tall and beautiful on her special day in her dream wedding dress. Absolutely sensational work!!

Here is Joanne’s story in her words:

“I had heard about Terri and your accomplishments and thought to myself, this lady knows her stuff.  She’s won multiple body building competition and written her own book. A true inspiration.

My wedding had been postponed by a year because of COVID, with that year came extra weight.  I was on a mission to fit into that dress but also used that as an excuse to start a new chapter in my life where I make time to look after myself better. 

I stay here because you’re not just a number, and it’s not just a gym, it has a family vibe and everyone is friendly.  You don’t feel intimidated in anyway, everyone is just there to be a better version of themselves, and the staff encourage and support you along the way, they are all amazing.

I managed to fit into my wedding dress nicely on the day (photo attached). I’ve reached my personal goal with weight loss and now have the motivation to continue being a healthier better version of me.  Also working out certainly helps with mental challenges with any struggles that comes from life in general.

I struggled getting back into living a fit and healthy lifestyle, but now I’m more fit, healthy and energetic.  It’s great seeing the transformation of my metabolic age improve too.

My goal is to attend 3 times a week, so it is a realistic goal that I can achieve, then if I can smash out another 1 or 2 that’s a bonus for me.   I’ve also seen a naturopath which has assisted me with my nutrition and able to determine what foods I’m intolerant to that has caused me to have inflammation for all these years!” – Joanne Fennech
