Tash made an AMAZING transformation in such a short time. She lost a total of 10kg and reduced her skins by 119.5mm. Her girth measurements were reduced by 32 cm! After meeting Tash late 2009, I provided her with a nutrition, exercise and supplement regime so she could train at home. She went off and made a great effort to reduce her weight from 95Kg to 85kg, by following the guidance I had given her. After being so motivated with the progress she had made so far, she came back to see me as she started reaching a plateau, and deciding she really wanted to kick it up a notch.  
Committing to 3 sessions for a period of 8 weeks, Tash certainly had her obstacles. She has battled with chronic fatigue problems which have been reduced remarkably since changing her lifestyle habits. Tash and her partner are both shift workers with a young child, so making time and balancing her lifestyle were extremely important. She is now has learnt the strategies to successfully manage her daily routines to suit a ‘healthy’ lifestyle, and therefore reduced her stress level and increased her energy levels.  During the challenge Tash also got Pneumonia (mild), which she had already decided was not going to impact her commitment to improving her lifestyle or get in the way of her achieving her goals. So we ensured she maintained her eating and adjusted her training so her body was able to recover.
In Tash’s words...
“I want to thank Nicky for all the support and guidance she has offered me since meeting her late last year. During this time I have been able to greatly improve ALL areas of my life. I have learnt the importance of proper training, nutrition and supplementation in order to achieve maintainable results. Since finishing the challenge back in April, I am happy to report that 6 months later I am still at 75Kg’s! So from my first meeting with Nicky I have lost a total of 20Kg’s. Not only is she very knowledgeable in the area of health and wellness, but incredibly she is the nicest, most caring person you could meet. Her passion for helping and sharing with other women is awesome and she is now is not only my mentor and inspiration, but also one of my closest friends.”

My Name is Emily Fuata and this is my story! I joined the local gym in September 2006 one month after the birth of my daughter.
My goal was to lose weight and feel good about my appearance. I started at 120kgs, and began by attending the classes and lost 13kgs on my own. But soon I lost my motivation after I found myself on a plateau.
 
I not only needed motivation but to learn how to eat and train correctly. I could not do this on my own so I hired Nicky, an Instructor who taught my bike class that I loved so much.
Nicky gave me all the encouragement, information and guidance I needed to get me out of my rut. With weekly monitoring and constant support I very quickly noticed change.
I had a goal which was to weigh 75kg's before my trip overseas to America and China, which was scheduled for November 2007.
 
I managed to reach 69kgs before leaving for my trip and broke my personal weight goal.
I have managed to lose 48 kilo's in the last year and maintain this as well.
Without persistence, consistency and staying focused with the help of Nicky as my trainer I would not be where I am today.
 
I am now more agile and have a much higher self–esteem, to be able to live life and enjoy time out with friends and family.
 
It's not just a physical change but a Lifestyle change.
 
Emily lost 38 Kg’s over 16 weeks!
 
2009 Update – Emily has been focusing on building muscle to improve her muscle shape. She maintains 72-75kgs year round and is the centre of motivation for many in here community.

"Nicky has been another great source of motivation and encouragement. She has inspired me tremendously this week. I have spoken to her online, and in person twice this week. I walk away inspired by her, and she always gives me a lot to think about. Whether it be nutrition advice or talking about comps, I walk away with a stronger belief in myself that I can do this! She has a lot of wonderful things to say on a whole range of topics, and conducts herself in a manner that would be envied by most. Also gracing the cover of Oxygen magazine (in 2008) she had a fantastic article that was so honest and down to earth, I could talk to Nicky all day!"

Hey Nicky!
 
Just wanted to send you a massive thanks for all your support. Sometimes I find it hard to say how grateful I am in person, so I wanted to send you an email so I could get everything out that I want to say
 
I really appreciate your guidance and support over the past 8 weeks. Obviously I appreciate everything you've done for me since I first met you, but more so especially over this last 8 weeks! Thank you for believing in me and helping me believe in myself. You're a fantastic judge of character and saw something in me that I didn't quite see myself. But through listening to you and my body and training hard and eating clean, I can see it now too and I feel like I am in such a better place because of it!
 
I admit years ago that when I first came to your bootcamps it was exciting to start with, but then it got a little too hard. So I gave up. Which is what I have done my whole life. If it's too hard, I just give up and shy away! But nothing worth getting it easy, and you're such a great role model for that!
I'm super proud of myself that I set myself a challenge, finished it and achieved great results.
 
I just wish that I had of realised this years ago when I first met you and I could have taken full advantage of you living near me and I could have felt the way I feel now years ago. But there isn't any point in dwelling on "what if's". Like you said last time I trained with you, it's all about what I have learned and each time I challenge myself, I will probably do it better and get better results that the last time!
 
So on to the next chapter..............lean out even further and get some smokin' legs! 
 
So my plan is to do another shoot with Dallas in a few months. Maybe September/October (depending on the budget) and I would be honoured if you could come along with me and style it and direct me to get even more amazing pictures and maybe even "the shot".
 
So massive massive thanks again and I can't wait to start the next part of my journey with you.

You've been so helpful!!! Thanks for all your advice, and help with everything. Seriously, it's so nice to meet people who are encouraging and genuinely care... So refreshing!! :) Big Hugs babe!!! Thanks for believing in me. I remember you saying ages ago, "This is your year. Go for it"..... I hope I get this break to. You've helped so many people improve their health. You give people hope, and you're just plain out likable! Thanks for all your awesome advice!! I'm going to put in 200% effort!! I want this BAD!! lol I've been training hard, and eating clean. I'm getting my hair, makeup, and nails done... the works, and will practice in front of the mirror. I am prepared to spend the money on the photographer... Most definately!!! ....

Thanks for taking the time to write back. You're certainly not "regular", but your love and genuine care for women is so down to earth... Beautiful inside and out.

Hi Nicky,

Not sure if you remember me but I sometimes come in to the supplement shop with my boyfriend Dion.

You are always a fountain of knowledge and heaps of help and I have since been reading your website etc.

I have decided to compete in the Fitness Model category in the September competition this year and just wanted you to know that you are a huge inspiration to me...so much so that I have your picture at my PT's gym...hahaha! If I could look like you I would be soooo happy! The boys have their picture of Arnold and I have you there as my inspiration when I feel like I cant do another curl or attempt another pull up I think of my comp and look at your picture and I give it more effort.

Anyway I just thought I would write and let you know. I also just finished my Cert 3 and 4 and Boxing as well so I am learning the ropes and really enjoying it. Fitness used to be such a big thing for me and then I was sick and down and let it slide and it made me feel worse and now I am loving being back in it.

Hope you have a great day, just thought I would let you know that you are a huge inspiration to people!

Cassie :)
