JONELLE'S STORY ❤️
When Jonelle joined The Right Fit, she was already on a weight-loss journey.
But she knew losing weight alone wasn’t enough.
Perimenopause had, in her words, “kicked my butt” 😂 and she wanted to become stronger and healthier, while finally finding some consistency with strength training.
She’d also already “donated” to nearly every gym in Auckland, so she knew doing it alone probably wasn’t going to work 😂
Since starting with Dani, Jonelle has continued to lose weight, maintained her muscle mass and significantly reduced her visceral fat.
But what she’s most proud of is how much stronger and fitter she has become.
“Training consistently with Dani has completely changed my relationship with exercise.”
Her focus now has shifted away from simply seeing a lower number on the scales.
It’s about building strength and muscle, improving her fitness and creating habits she can realistically maintain for the long term.
Her advice to anyone thinking about starting:
“Don’t wait until you feel fit enough, confident enough or motivated enough. Just start where you are.”
And perhaps my favourite part of Jonelle’s story is what she said about the environment around her.
From Dani waiting for those early-morning sessions, to Fiona being “a cup of sunshine”, to the encouragement from other members, she says it has a real whānau feel. ❤️
Awesome work Jonelle, and a big shoutout to Dani for helping her build strength she can keep ❤️
