Earlier this week I spoke of my fear of the number 90(kg) on my scales! Today I am telling you, for the first time in 10 years, I have gone below it!! And it doesn't stop here. So looking forward to 80, 70 & 60!!

Love you Naomi for creating this awesome group and giving so freely of yourself (you are changing people's lives!) - awesome doesn't cut it!!

Excited much - you've got no idea!!
Louise
So my weight is not coming off as quickly as others, but to see the scales coming down, my waist measurement is 6cm down, I'm feeling fantastic and I'm getting out of bed each weekday morning and going to the gym. (This past week has been far from perfect but just goes to show that this way of eating is definitely able to fit into even the craziest of households)

Oh and I haven't had a drop of softdrink now for 11 days and I'm not even missing it. Wow!!!

This program has kickstarted more than I bargained for. Can't wait for the end results!!!
Jodie
I have never shared how much I weigh with anyone before but I wanted to share my joy

After initially losing 12kg my weight loss plateaud around the 80 - 83kg for so long and it was driving me insane! After struggling with NB in the first week I have stuck it out this week and finally I have success!! I haven't weighed in the 70s since my mid 20s!

Still a long way to go but I'm happy I'm on the right track. Thanks Naomi for your amazing program!!
Hayley
I joined this program to lose weight because it has started to severely affect my health. I have had high blood pressure for 2 years and against everyone's advice I have avoided taking tablets (I believe in natural health as opposed to taking drugs).

In just 2 weeks on this program I have gone from being in severe hypertension to mild hypertension. My graph for the past 2 weeks shows a steady decline each and every day (except for one really stressy day!) Just wanted to share this to encourage all of you that this is working on more levels than just weight loss (I have lost 4.5kg as well).

Thanks to the awesome ladies that run this program, I have learned so much already, AND to the wonderful people on this journey with me, you may not know me personally but the questions and other things you have shared on this page have inspired me to continue.
Louise
Before I started the Eat Fat Get Fit programme in September I decided to sign up to take part in The Biggest Loser challenge we had at work. We had our final weigh in the other week, and I am so happy to say I won first place! I had the highest percentage of my body weight lost overall. I lost about 6cm from the small of my waist, and 5.5kg over 8weeks.

The recipies have been so helpful and not to mention delicious! They have also taught me practical skills and I am so happy to have found something I can manage to maintain long term. Weight loss felt really slow for me, especially in the first couple of weeks but if that's you too hang in there! Because progress does come when you stay consistent.

Thanks to Naomi and the team for putting this program together I'm so glad I found it! X
Elodie
Yesterday was the last day of our 8wk program! We have LOVED eating this way and found so much more energy and happiness through eating this way! I've lost 6kg and Josh Lole has lost 10kg!

Thank you so much Naomi for putting together this awesome program - we love all of the food and the meals you have created!!!!

We plan to have a little break now but continue eating this way and then start probably the next program in October again!
Cassie
Really loving this challenge! The meals are delicious, the exercises are realistic and enjoyable and the additional information is really helping me understand more about this way of life! I am definitely experiencing heightened energy levels and clarity in my thinking too! (Even with little sleep!)

Since the start of this challenge I feel physically stronger/fitter and more energetic than ever before. This challenge was the kick start I needed to establish and build on some sustainable lifestyle habits not only for myself but for my family too. Thanks Naomi and the team! Your insight, support and encouragement has been amazing!

Skinny Fat

Many of us keep an eye on our weight, but if we really want to be healthy, we should ditch the scales. Exercise physiologist Naomi Ferstera joined us to talk about the idea of ‘skinny fat’ and how despite a slim physique you could be doing more harm than good to your body. #9Today

Posted by TODAY on Thursday, March 8, 2018

Lower Body

A 30 minute class focused on improving lower body exercise technique and strength.

Upper Body

A 30 minute class focused on improving upper body exercise technique and strength.

Boxing

A 60 minute class focusing on boxing technique and fitness. This class is run intermittently throughout the year in 8 week blocks.

Body Composition Analysis

We now offer the latest in bioimpedance analysis for our clients in Ipswich, QLD. A bioimpedance analysis will estimate your body composition and is so helpful in monitoring your progress when you start a new way of eating or exercise plan.

Our Biompedance Scan will give you the following data within seconds of starting the test:

  • Body fat percentage, kilograms and individual ideal ranges
  • Lean tissue percentage and kilograms
  • BMI
  • Basal metabolic rate (BMR)
  • Water volume in litres, as a percentage and individual ideal range
  • Body Impedance (Z)

Benefits to Our Clients:  

  • Monitoring excessively high or low levels of Total Body Fat
  • Certainty of fat loss, not muscle loss
  • Verifying the effect of weight loss programs
  • Dietary and exercise recommendations based on results
  • Body composition monitoring in association with specific ageing and/or medical conditions
  • Investigating mysterious weight gain or loss associated with periodic bloating or dehydration

This test is non-invasive, takes around 15 minutes to perform and can be done onsite. As an exercise physiologist, I can interpret these results accurately and provide professional advice and recommendations on exercise programming, energy intake and the need for further investigations.

NUTRITION PROGRAMS

We also offer corporate discounts on our Eat Fat Get Fit Programs, which include: menus, recipes, eBooks, weekly online education, exercise programs and videos, online meetings with our dietitian and loads of support. We can tailor a package to suit your company and your budget.

HEALTH ASSESSMENTS

We can also undertake individual health assessments which include the measurement of blood pressure, waist circumference, resting heart rate and nutrition/exercises analysis which will provide us with an overall health status of your employees. We will then report this information back to you.

Pricing for individual health appraisals is based on the size of your company.

WELLNESS SEMINARS

I have been teaching and lecturing for over 10 years in the fitness industry and education is a core tenet of my business. I run Healthy Living workshops for my own clients and can provide similar workshops or presentations for your staff.

These short wellness programs can be delivered at your place of business and focus on the latest research with practical application for improving your staff health and productivity. Participants receive a copy of the workshop material and are given opportunities to apply principles to their own situations.

Seminars start at $300 for up to 45 minutes and include all the presentation information and a Q&A.

GROUP TRAINING

A corporate health and fitness program is an excellent way of improving job and employee satisfaction and reducing staff turnover. By retaining experienced staff and boosting their health and energy levels, you in turn increase the profitability of your company. Our experience has shown that corporate health and fitness programs:

If you are interested in corporate training, The Naomi Ferstera Group can come to your workplace, or somewhere mutually convenient, to undertake group training with your staff.  Our corporate fitness trainers will bring the equipment and their expertise; you just need to supply the participants. Group training prices start from $170 per session (for up to 12 participants).

SUPPORTING PERSONAL TRAINERS OF CLIENTS WITH CHRONIC ILLNESS

Australia is facing a chronic disease epidemic. Diabetes is the fastest growing chronic condition and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number one killer.  Diabetes and CVD place people at considerable risk for adverse outcomes during exercise and clients with chronic illness who are high risk, in accordance with the APSS, require referral to a GP or appropriate allied health professional.

“Registered Exercise Professionals may work with higher risk clientele (whose conditions are stabilised and managed) after making a written referral to and receiving documented guidance on the exercise program from the clients’ treating medical and/or allied health practitioner. Registered Exercise Professionals should refer to the nationally endorsed APSS to stratify client risk and determine appropriate exercise intensity for physical activities based on the client’s risk classification.”

As an exercise physiologist, I can work with your trainers who have clients with serious chronic illness to ensure adequate duty of care is maintained. The referral process between PTs and EPs reclassifies these conditions as “managed” and reduces litigation risk for both you and your trainers.

BODY COMPOSITION AND METABOLIC ANALYSIS

We can also provide body fat and metabolism testing services to your clients, either on request by clients or on an ongoing basis at your site.

Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis

Bioelectrical impedance analysis is a fast and efficient way to assess client’s body composition. We use the Maltron BF900 which provides us with accurate data on

The benefit to the client includes:

This test is non-invasive, takes around 15 minutes to perform and can be done onsite. As an exercise physiologist, I can interpret these results accurately and provide professional advice and recommendations on exercise programming, energy intake and the need for further investigations.

Indirect Caliometry

We are also taking expressions of interest for this gold standard metabolic assessment. Indirect caliometry is an effective and non-invasive way to accurately assess your client’s metabolic profile and identify dysfunction. This assessment provides insight into why weight loss may not be occurring and provides practitioners and clients with accurate data to improve their intervention. It can also be used to fine-tune both exercise and dietary programs to optimise results.

Indirect caliometry can be used to:

For more information about these assessments or to indicate an expression of interest in Indirect Caliometry, please contact us.

HEALTH AND NUTRITION WORKSHOPS

I have been teaching and lecturing for over 10 years in the fitness industry and education is a core tenet of my business. I run Healthy Living workshops for my own clients and have taught CEC courses for personal trainers and can provide similar services for your clients and PTs onsite.

Client Workshops

I have found that my clients are more likely to adhere to my intervention if they know why they are doing what they are doing. My client workshops have been hugely successful at increasing client adherence, success and satisfaction with our services.

I can provide workshops for your clients onsite covering topics such as low carb healthy fat nutrition, intermittent fasting, fitness as medicine or chronic disease management through lifestyle interventions; or I can tailor a workshop to suit a specific topic of interest. Presentations typically last for 45 minutes with a Q&A at the end for an additional 30-45 minutes; however, we can tailor the workshop length and the content to suit your clients and needs. Workshop participants receive a copy of the workshop material and are given opportunities to apply principles to their own situations.

PT Education Workshops

Due to the increasing number of Australians with chronic illness, I also run workshops for PTs covering:

If this is something that is of interest to you, we can offer corporate pricing for company-wide training or individual prices for trainers. This workshop will provide one CEC from the category of “In-House Training” with Fitness Australia.
