“I had heard podcasts about the scientific benefits of resistance training for women my age and was very aware that although active with hiking and yoga it was something I needed to incorporate into my lifestyle, but I didn’t know how to begin or have any idea what was involved. I’m so glad I heard about Total Strength training and made the decision to get started. Tim and Kristen made me feel comfortable from the beginning, taking time to teach safe techniques, beginning with manageable yet challenging exercises. The outside gym is my kind of space, well equipped and surrounded by nature. I honestly can’t believe how steadily I have progressed in my 8 week program to date and actually look forward to completing the gym and home based programs because I can feel the benefits each time I do. I am also so surprised by how energising and rewarding my guided program has been - who knew lifting weights could make you feel good!”

“When I started with Total Strength Coaching, I wasn't looking for a quick fix; I was looking for a solid protocol and someone I could trust. Basically I just handed the reins over to TSC saying “just tell me what to do, show me how to do it and make me do it right”.
The transformation has been objective and undeniable. I’ve lost over 25kg, but more importantly, I am the strongest I have ever been in my life and injury free. In comparison with the population, I’m now in the top 10% of muscle mass for my age group and in the bottom 10% for fat.”
