Prior to joining in 1:1 PT sessions, Jordy found himself locked in his room, playing video games with no energy to do anything.
He had poor eating habits – drinking lots of soft drink and sugary foods.
He’s turned this all around.
He reminds mum when it’s gym night and insists on learning how to cook healthy home made meals. He’s more aware of his health and nutriton. He’s more confident. He’s fusses a lot about his appearance. He’s got more energy. Even teaching kids at the @special school how to do push ups at lunch.
One thing we’ve noticed as coaches is his confidence in having a conversation with us and other members! Due to his Autism he is usually very quiet and reserved. But now he finds himself talking to friends and family about how much he loves the gym.
We’ve loved watching Jordy grow. In his words – “I love feeling strong”.
