BBR: Firstly, how long have you been training at BBR and what brought you to BBR / How did you
find us?
One year! My friend Talei persuaded me to come
What was your first impression of BBR? What did you see or hear and how did it compare to
your experience?
Before I came, I thought everyone were going to be snobby and super fit and I
was reluctant to come. But once I got there it wasn’t like that at all and I felt very welcome and
included, have loved (and still do) the energy and the vibe in the classes from the very
beginning.
RESULTS! Thank you for being vulnerable enough to share. Can you please tell us your results
since starting at BBR and in the last 6 week challenge? Weight loss? DEXA Scan? Blood work?
Body fat and lean muscle? Belt sizes ? Dress sizes?
The biggest change was the July challenge where I lost 4 kgs but my body continue to change
shape which is evident when I compare July and March after photos. I’m now at a happy weight
and I have formed really good life habits, feeling proud of my achievement and so much
stronger and confident in myself. All my clothes fit so much better now.
What other benefits have you experienced since joining BBR?
Making new friends and feeling part of a community.
What challenges did you have to overcome during the 6 Week Challenge?
My biggest challenge every time is to say NO to wine and sweets.

How did the support from the community or your fellow challenge participants contribute to your
