Mind and Body Transformation Program

"It’s been so great working with Amanda. She’s helped me lose nearly 15% of my body weight this year. And it’s not just about the weight loss – I feel really healthy and alert, and it’s 100% because of the lifestyle change from working with Amanda. I rarely felt hungry or like I was missing out, and when I did, Amanda was quick to make adjustments to my meal plan to ensure I was getting what I needed. If I felt hungry, Amanda gave me more food; over Easter, I got to have chocolate and hot cross buns while still losing weight; and I still enjoy the occasional glass of wine. When I’ve had a craving for seafood, curry or whatever, Amanda has been amazing at finding or adapting recipes to suit my meal plans. She’s also gotten a good idea of exactly the kinds of foods I like so I always know what she gives me is going to be delicious! I’ve gained so many new food ideas from Amanda, and my friends have even started copying my lunches at work because they're so good! I’ve also learnt how to freestyle a bit more in the kitchen so I can put together healthier meals, and Amanda’s shown me how to balance treats with my usual routine. I can’t recommend Amanda enough – she will help you get the results you want, without feeling like you’re missing out on anything. For me it’s not just about weight loss either. I can see how beneficial it would be to work with Amanda through any major lifestyle changes or different phases of your life when you have different goals. Amanda has a really, nice, balanced, and personalized approach to nutrition, and that’s why it works! "

"The year was 2014 I had been Retired from professional sports for some time and I had been asked to come out of boxing retirement to fight a familiar name. Carlos Spencer the former Auckland Blues and All Blacks legend renowned more for his capabilities on the field than in the ring. Still an undefeated fighter with a huge following partly because of the physique he bared on a tv ad promoting toffee pops. Being shirtless in a ring with a man of that reputation was slightly daunting not to mention the weight loss and fitness needed to once again be at my fighting best. I knew I was out of sorts but I didn’t realise just how much until I met Amanda in person. She measured me up or pinched me more precisely. It was amazing how quickly I had let myself go and knowing where I needed to be within 3 months. I was worried! Was Amanda, possibly? Only because she wasn’t certain if I would adhere to her number crunching and rules to boot. Thankfully for us both - with limited time I took a liking and trust to Amanda immediately with a confidence she knew what she was talking about. Not only did she completely transform me aesthetically but she did it quickly and with me never once feeling fatigued or not up to my sometimes three training's a day. I’ve always been a driven person but with her coaching and motivation strategies, you would give all her clients a very good chance of succeeding in their goals. Thanks to Amanda I won that fight with energy levels I hadn’t experienced and equally important. I didn’t look out of place next to Mr. Toffee Pops Carlos Spencer. "

"As a bigger and older male I have always known I should do something about my weight and health generally but it took the advice of the cardiologist as to my increased risk of heart disease to get me to do something. Amanda has been essential to my making the changes I needed to make. Her nutritional knowledge and information is massive. Her straightforward and direct manner in imparting that information and telling me what I need to do if I want the results I say I want is something I particularly like."

"Having been referred to Amanda by my trainer, I was impressed by her relentless drive to ensure I was eating the right things at the right time. Her meal plans, although tough, were flexible enough to fit into my busy meeting and event schedule. Amanda has helped me understand the impact of good nutrition and hydration on my health and has changed my eating habits for the long term."

"Amanda Foubister has been pivotal in preparing and maintaining my body - and mind for a gruelling schedule and physical lifestyle. As my personal trainer, friend and nutritionist. Amanda is now my stunt and horse-riding double on the set of Spartacus. Her presence on-set and help in preparing for fight scenes, along with her general dedication and concern, has been a huge support"

"My work with Amanda has been fantastic, initially, I was really worried that I would not have the discipline to follow a detailed meal plan or that it would be too hard to fit in around a busy job with lots of professional and personal obligations. However, its amazing how much Amanda simplified the process, provided easy to follow individualised meals that fit my schedule, taste and budget. Amanda also provided weekly follow up sessions, constant monitoring and was always there to help when things didn’t quite go to plan. I was so happy with my weight loss over the 12 week transformation period where I lost approximately 17 KG. The first couple of weeks weren’t easy however Amanda helped to keep me motivated and on track. Losing weight has its benefits, I can now fit into my clothes. I feel lighter and therefore have more energy to exercise, run and go for long walks in my hilly neighbourhood. It’s amazing how many compliments I received where people started noticing all the weight I lost and started asking about my secret for weight loss. However all these positives aside there was a more significant underlying factor that was also addressed as part of this transformation which is reducing my risk of cardiovascular disease, especially that I have a family history associated with obesity, diabetes and heart disease. I really enjoyed working with Amanda and I would highly recommend her for anyone considering a lifestyle modification, a weight loss challenge or who just needs a bit more motivation to start their weight loss journey. She will guide you, mentor you and help you get amazing results."

"I’ve dipped in and out of many different nutrition and fitness programmes over the years with varying levels of success - usually not really very much progress. But with Amanda’s programme I have not only lost more weight than I imagined possible, I’ve also improved my cholesterol, arthritis and overall fitness. I’ve gone from being about 15 kg heavier than I should be, with sleep issues, joint pain and an emerging diabetic profile - to a fit, healthy 53 year old woman with a solid plan for how to stay this way! Amanda’s programme works. She focuses on the small stuff so you can get on with your life."
