Testimonials from Older Adults


2008-09
As I have hit my late 60s I knew I was heading into the older adult category. I also knew that regular physical activity was one of the most important things I could do for my health. I knew that it would prevent most of the health problems that come with ageing. I was told by my doctor that weight training helps your muscles grow stronger so that I could do the day to day activities without becoming dependant on others. " I found Margie via my doctor 5 years ago. She designed a variety of exercises and programs strengthening my muscles improving my balance, co-ordination and mobility. It also cured the signs and symptoms of my arthritis. I am so happy with vibes fitness and people often comment that I'don't look my age. I'make sure that attend Margie's studio/gym in Fitzroy once a week and am grateful for her persistence and patience as I would not have achieved all the above without her. Thankyou so much Margie ox

Two weeks ago was my 70th birthday and oh bother, I tripped, smashing my face in the gutter. Not too serious this time but being overweight and underfit I was referred to Margie at Vibes Fitness with cheerful and sympathetic encouragement Margie has brought me to a satisfying level of agility in just three months. For instance when I'met a virile young tiger snake on a bush path I was able to leap backwards and remain upright!
Thank you Margie, OMA

I started working with Vibes Fitness as I was weak and frail and had no energy. I am a 78 year old male who used to get depressed about growing old. After working with Margie this year I have found a new enthusiasm for life and my old energy is back. I never though this would be possible at my age. I'm even developing some biceps and shape in my upper body.
Thankyou for giving me back my old energy for life.

I started with Vibes Fitness on the 9 September 06. I was then about 100 kilos. Until the last ten years, most of my life I had been around 80 odd kilos. My goal now is to get to 82 kilos. My first assessment at VIBES, I weighed in at just over 96 kilos, 26 body fat. At that assessment, we did my measurements, postural analysis, strength and flexibility test and also used a machine to test my core stabilisers. Finally, we did a Bio pressure feed back. This tested to see if my muscles were working or not.On the 11 October 06, 2 months later. I weighed in at 88 kilos. I had lost 8 kilos, lost 5 % body fat and 14 inches all over my whole body since I started. I am still continuing to build on that outcome, and at the moment I am 83.5 kilos and haven't been as fit or motivated for years.Margie does a great job of encouraging and motivating me to continue on the "journey" of health and fitness for the long term. I have no hesitation in recommending her.
