Testimonials
At Vital there are many success stories. Here is what a few of our clients have to say....
Not in a million years did i think i would enjoy going to the gym.... My time at Vital Health Studio has changed all that. I now attend the gym 3 days a week, and am loving every minute of it.
Due to the motivation and care received from Sean, Tayla and Shane, my outlook on exercise has changed dramatically. I took part in the 12 week challenge at the gym and came in second, but in my mind I was a winner before that as I lost 14.7kgs... I have changed my eating habits and my mindset on exercise. I have developed a new confidence in myself and my ability to perform in ways never before considered, this year I am taking part in the annual
City to Surf... Before this year, running something like that would have had me laughing myself silly. Now though I have come to realise that
this is something not out of my reach... It doesnt matter how long it takes, but I know that I will finish it. My motto at the gym is "its a good hurt"... and it is. It doesnt matter how much it hurts, then end result is what makes it all worthwhile.
Thank you Sean for being here with Vital..... It has changed my way of living, and for that I am truly grateful...

Thanks to Sean, the Vital diet and the team at Vital Health Studio I was able to lose 9.1kgs of fat, gain strength and build muscle mass. My body’s transformation showed results that I hadn’t thought possible in such a short time.
As a Personal Trainer myself I wanted a kick start to get my body into the right shape, Vital has done this with great success and I now feel and look better than I have in a long time and am considering training towards doing my first body building competition.
The atmosphere at Vital is like no other gym I have been in before; it’s so friendly, supportive and positive all the time and it gets the results you want.
I would recommend Vital to anyone wanting to change the shape of their body. I thank Sean and everyone at Vital for all the support and knowledge they have given me and for the changes I see within myself, not only the physical changes to my body but I am also a more happier, positive person with a passion for life and fitness.

How can I express in words the total transformation of my life, Sean and Vital Health Studio have changed my life forever.
I now love clothes shopping, I am no longer afraid to look in the mirror or have to cover myself up. I have better self esteem, body image and I am more positive to be around.
My health has improved beyond my Doctor's expectation and I am no longer paying huge amounts of money on medication. I am in a wonderful new relationship and my young son is extremely proud of his Mum.
To Sean thank you....You have changed my life and I will be forever grateful.

At the age of 45 I found myself alone as my husband of 24 years had just walked out leaving me to raise our 11 year old child on my own. I was in poor health drinking far too much alcohol and facing the biggest crossroads in my life.
I had lost about 9 kilos in weight from worry and stress but had started to slowly put it back on when I met Sean. Sean suggested that I take up the Vital 12-Week Challenge since I had already started to loose some weight.
In September 2009 I took up the 12 week Challenge and that's when my life really began.

SENIORS
We have been doing Sean's seniors classes since March 2009. We always have fun and enjoy keeping fit. Our strength and flexibility has improved alot and Liz's gets around so much better now even though she has had a hip replacement. This is what we get from the seniors program at Vital.
Thanks Sean
Michael (70yrs) and Liz (75yrs)
I have been attending Vital for fifteen months and in that time with the help and caring guidance by Sean I have improved my bones (as tested by xrays for osteoporosis) and also firmed up my body. I have a much happier outlook on life.

I was always convinced personal trainers were only designed for fit trim buff people with lots of muscles. This is the main reason I was so hesitant about stepping foot in a gym. Also for the fear of judgement and the mindset that I was simply to unfit to workout. However these fears were soon a distant memory once I met Sean. He made me feel so welcome and have helped me completely change my life.
I am now fitter, healthier and stronger than I have ever been. Each gym session I can feel my body changing. I have muscles growing where I have never seen them before and my body is changing before my eyes.
Walking into Vital for the first time was the hardest step, but after only a few moments talking to Sean I knew that I had found my saviour and since that day I have never looked back.
I attend 3 nights per week after work, follow the Vital diet and my body, skin and nails have never been better. I also completed 6 weeks of Vital Boot Camp which saw me increase fitness levels and run for longer periods of time, where previously running was something I could only dream of.
My advice for anyone looking to lose weight or tone up is to take that first step because I am living proof that people can change both habits and body shape. I cannot imagine my life without Vital, my trainer and all that attend Vital are fantastic, friendly, welcoming and just great fun to be around. The exercise has become addictive, something I thought was just a myth and I look forward to each session because I know next time I get on the scales or try on new clothes the influence of Vital is obvious.
I owe Sean so much for everything he has done for me and for the changes that have happened in my body and mind, but also for the long-term health benefits that exercise has brought to me.

When I first started working out at Vital Health Studio, I didn't know what to expect. I had worked out at gyms before but never acheived what I have at Vital. Working with Sean, I have been pushed to do more with my body than ever before. He pushes me to my absolute limit, which is not what I would do at the gym by myself.
Being trained by a Champion bodybulider is enough proof for me to have confidence in what he is teaching me when it comes to exercise and diet. Not only am I lifting more weight than ever, my endurance has increased as well. In the first 3 months working out 3 x 1 hour sessions per week, I went from a size 36 pant down to 32 and lost 8.5 kilos.
My body is the best it has ever been. I only wish I had this body when I was younger.
