Corporate Health Testimonials

I just finished the 8 week Boxing Moves Sessions . The sessions were run by Ashlee MacKay. I just wanted to acknowledge the fantastic effort of Ashlee in running these sessions. The sessions were challenging while at the same time great fun.

The participants had a diverse fitness level and I would suggest equally diverse expectation of what they were going to achieve out of the sessions. From talking to the other participants I believe that we all got what we expected out of the sessions and a number of us have signed up for the next session.

I have participated in a number of fitness activities over the years and I can confidently say that Ashlee made this one the most enjoyable fitness program that I have undertaken. Ashlee is a great ambassador for Trench Health!

"Trench Health and Fitness has been running the DSR corporate health program since 2001. Peter and his staff have accommodated the department’s specific needs and worked in partnership with us to provide DSR with an excellent, targeted workplace program including regular weekly activities and innovative events and challenges scheduled throughout each year.

Participation levels in the program have been high and consistent, with positive feedback from the staff."

Ron Alexander, Director General
Department of Sport and Recreation

"From the outset, we were impressed by the thoroughness of the Trench Health and Fitness "Wellness Program" and its professional implementation.

Of significance in a program such as this has been the ability of the staff from Trench Health and Fitness to relate to, and gain the confidence of our staff who, as you would expect from most organisations of our size, represent a broad spectrum of personal fitness. What was encouraging from day one was the positive feedback which we received from some of our least fit staff. All staff were made to feel welcome and part of the program which was skilfully designed to cater to the differing needs of individual staff members.

I thoroughly recommend the program and in particular Trench Health and Fitness to any employer. I would be happy to provide further comment on the program and can be contacted on 9488 9488."

Since the program commenced the feedback from Department of Water staff in all areas has been very good and a significantly higher than predicted percentage of DoW staff take part in the various activities offered. The Trench Health and Fitness professional service provision has had a very positive impact culturally in the DoW. The success and high staff participation is due in no small measure to the vibrant enthusiasm of the Trench Health and Fitness consultants which value adds in encouraging staff to embrace health and fitness in achieving work-life balance.

TRIM vs Weight loss

This is my story which you only need to read if you need some motivation to lose weight.

Two years ago I popped on the scales and had hit 99kg. I didn’t believe it!! So I tried another set of scales and as a last resort payed a dollar in a shop for a digital print out. Even then, with the weight confirmed, I questioned the owner about when they were last checked!!

Now it was time to face the fact I was overweight. It was time for an assessment by Jo from Trench Health Fitness, the Department Of Water’s Health and Life Style coordinator. 

The results were that I was in trouble with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and a waist over 100cm. I went on a diet and started regular exercise with positive results and started feeling a lot better. The weight left home and eventually after 4 months I reached 88kg. Mission accomplished you may think.

The story continues, Christmas 2009. I have let things slip and my weight has returned. I’m carrying another spare tyre - am I the Dunlop Man or should I just work for the RAC? I’m 102kg, shock horror, I never wanted to pass that 100kg figure. During the Xmas break I was very ill and this was the final wakeup call. My family needs me. I go back to Trench Health Fitness and everything is bad - a waist circumference of 105cm (the male waist circumference recommendation is 94cm or below, females 80cm), high blood pressure and surprise! overweight. Jan 4th 2010 I start the TRIM process again, this time with more focus, life and living it.

This time the focus is losing the weight and keeping it off. A few rules: no carbohydrates (rice, potatoes etc)  after 3pm, more fresh fruit and nuts for snacks. This time my mind and not my behind needed to take control and understand the data nutrition of food. The body is a like a car, you need to put the right fuel in to get it up to speed; the wrong fuel, ahh! you know the rest that’s why you are reading this.

The results this year are quite amazing. I have lost 16kg and weigh 86kg, waist 93.5cm and have a blood pressure of 120/68 down from 142/89. Who am I?

I am TRIM and feel terrific and I am your TRIM Training Officer in Information Management.
