Personal Trainer Spotlight: Esta Morenikeji

Eights and Weights: Tell us a little about yourself.
Esta: A few short years ago, I weighed in at 92kg (about 203lbs) and could no longer fit into size 18 clothing. I ended up wearing a size 20! However in December 2007, I read a book that changed everything. That was the beginning of a new lifestyle which helped me lose more than 23kg (about 51lbs) in 9 months, and made me passionate about helping others to get the same results I got for myself.

I love fitness, and I love to see people fit and healthy. I love the excitement I see when a person who previously couldn’t walk for 15 minutes runs their first 5k. I love the joy I see in people’s eyes when the scale begins to shift. There is nothing more fulfilling than seeing people do what they never thought they could do. I believe that losing weight is easier when people know what to do, and how to do it. I give practical tips and tools every day people can use in real life.

Eights & Weights: What is your training philosophy?
Esta: I believe there shouldn't be any barriers when it comes to fitness. I believe people should be able to do their work out routines anywhere and anytime they want, with whatever exercise equipment they have available. I believe exercise programs should be safe, effective and fun.
