Proof that obesity can be overcome with hardwork
Phil's Story
Just everything about life in general. I had zero self-confidence and I wouldn’t go out to public places because I was ashamed to be seen and would always worry about people staring. I kept myself locked away from the world and when I got a condition on my right leg everything went downhill, I felt depressed and it was even taking a toll on my relationship. It was not a good place to be at.
Long story short I was in hospital for a leg infection and the doctor told me that if I wasn’t going to do anything with my weight that the next time he will see me is in the morgue. Those words hit me and I knew when I got out I had to do something about my health.
Aw man where do I start! To be honest EVERYTHING about my life has changed its like I’m reborn again. My mindset has changed majorly, I don’t eat like I use to and I don’t have any more fizzys or sweet drinks (I was bad with fizzy drinks). I’m out and about everyday my confidence has shot to the roof. I’m living my best life and I’m loving it. I”M JUST DAMN HAPPY!! What are your words of advice to those starting? Don’t worry about what others think, this is your journey not theirs. Set some realistic goals be patient and work towards it one step at a time. Above all Quit making EXCUSES.

Before I started BBM, the most challenging part of my day-to-day life was adjusting to being a new mum again with my third son. I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and honestly scared of slipping back into the postpartum depression I’d experienced before. I felt myself slowly losing pieces of who I was, and I knew I needed something that would help me stay grounded, supported, and connected to myself while still showing up for my babies
BBM actually started as a trial and error for me. A friend suggested the Mums and Bubs class, which allowed me to bring my baby along. I loved that it was a space designed for mums like me to focus on health, fitness, and wellbeing without having to worry about childcare.
Besides the obvious change in body composition—losing over 40kg since starting—BBM has given me so much more. Mentally, it’s helped me go from navigating my postpartum journey to now navigating grief after losing my brother. I’m stronger, grounded, and so grateful I found BBM before it all .
My advice to anyone starting is simple—don’t overthink it. Just show up, trust the process, and take it one step at a time. The small, consistent actions add up, and before you know it, you’ll be ultra strong , fit and one badasssss gym baddie 
Luke's Story
Everything from going to the toilet, tying my shoe laces, putting a seatbelt on, no energy, no confidence, chronic sleep apnea, chronic snoring
My mother and sister organised a meeting with Dave after a failed consultation with surgeon. We started 3 days later
I’m not falling asleep while stopped at the lights, more energy to do things with my son when I get home from work, more confidence, I now have respect for myself, and I can finally fit clothes from a normal shop.
Piece of advice will be “believe in the process, believe in yourself, surround yourself with good people and never give up”

1) I was tired of just existing. Everything medical, physical, mental and emotional that I had been through had to be for something? I had a purpose, I just didn’t know what it was. Yet!
