Hey there, Slim Forcers!
It’s been a while but we’re back in full swing with our blogging from this week so we’re going to have heaps of share with you moving forward. Just quietly, I’m pretty darn excited about that!
Speaking of blogging, we’re simplifying the way we share information with you! In late December, we launched our brand new blog, Plus Size Fitness Melbourne!
Plus Size Fitness Melbourne will be your number one resource when it comes to finding out what you need to know about getting fit in a bigger body. We’re in the process of moving a bunch of our articles across from the various websites at the moment and we’ll be regularly adding new content as well. Yay!
Want to check it out? We’d love to see you over there. The address is http://plussizefitnessmelbourne.com.au. In addition to all the great content on the blog itself, we will be doing fortnightly live Q&A sessions on our Plus Size Fitness Melbourne Facebook page. I’ll be devoting the full hour to answering your plus size fitness questions. Make sure you ‘like’ our Facebook page to keep up to date and these sessions.
Looking forward to seeing you on the blog soon! I’ll be popping up all the new articles and the updates here every weekend as well to make sure you don’t miss out on anything.

Toni’s Story
My love of fitness started late in life. I had a high profile career in Retail which enabled me to travel the world and earn a lucrative income. This was a great time in my life but once my children came along that life became increasing difficult to sustain. The other side effect of my high pressure/high profile career was that I gained a lot of weight. (50kg to be exact) This extra weight affected my health.
In 2006 I decided to make a change and over the period of a few years I gradually lost 50kg. It was a long hard journey but one I’m thankful for as I learnt long term weight loss is only achievable with a long term healthy eating strategy and a consistent exercise program.
Along with improved health my weight loss ignited a passion for fitness and nutrition; I am now a qualified personal trainer and weight loss consultant. My transformation has made we want to help as many people as possible with their transformation.

Slim Force is excited to welcome Greg Leitch to the mobile personal training team this month. Greg will be servicing some of the western suburbs of Melbourne and is ready to rock and roll with some new clients. Here is a bit about him.
Greg’s Service Area
Seabrook and Surrounding Suburbs: Altona Meadows, Hoppers Crossing, Laverton, Point Cook, Saltwater Coast, Sanctuary Lakes, Seabrook and Williams Landing.
Greg’s Story
Three years ago I was morbidly obese. I decided I needed to make some changes in my life and become fitter and healthier. I lost 40 kgs in 12 months*, which made me realise how much I had been missing out on. I taught myself to run properly, which allowed me to run 2 half marathons within 12 months*. I have since completed another half and in 2014 ran my first marathon. Through doing this I decided that I would like to help others make the changes to their lives that I have made to mine and change their outlook on health, well being and hopefully allow them to understand that nothing is impossible if you work hard towards it.
I have also completed 10 Ride to Conquer Cancer rides, raising in excess of $50K personally for cancer hospitals, which means I have ridden over 2000kms in 20 days. I believe that giving back is an important part of life and if it can help me and others push our physical boundaries and adapt mentally to push the limits, then why not? I have coached others to take part in these rides that have started from being a non-cyclist, to now being a regular rider.
I believe that people need to concentrate of improving their health and fitness whilst not worrying too much about the scales. If you are doing all the right things and feel good on the inside, the benefits will flow on and feeling happy and healthy is the most important thing.
