Transforming Lives, One Success Story at a Time
I’ve never been a fan of going to the gym. I hated the vibe, waiting for equipment, and lack of variety. At DEEM I take part in group training and I love the trainers and the workouts. I am never bored and if you can’t do a particular exercise due to injury etc. they are quick to suggest an alternate that you can do. I’m so happy to have found this gym.
DEEM Health & everyone there has been so great to work with. This is my first time going to a gym & I think I picked a great one. The encouragement & support has helped me to achieve goals I never dreamed I could. Thank you to you all!!
DEEM is truly an amazing gym. Over the last 20 years, I’ve been wanting a gym where I can go and enjoy working out. After going to DEEM, I found not only a fun place to work out, but an encouraging group of trainers that makes you want to keep going back for more. They run a variety of programs where you can work out in a group or individually, but always meets the needs of your health issues. Mikkie and her staff are amazing to work with and make the gym feel like a family environment. I not only have lost weight but have toned up and look forward to carrying on my journey at DEEM.
I’ve always hated the gym. I felt self-conscious and embarrassed. I gave DEEM a shot and I’m so happy I did. Having a progressive condition meant that strength training, stretching, and conditioning were crucial for my health. At DEEM I feel supported and part of a family! I love how accepting and supportive DEEM is for people with diverse-abilities. I am working on my health and getting huge social benefits of the wonderful team at DEEM and the others in my class.
DEEM is truly an amazing community, accepting us all for where we’re at in our health journey and no matter what our failures have been in the past. For me, it’s been so incredible to learn about weight training and have somebody guide me every step of the way. They’ve taught me proper form every time and even shown me that I can do more than I thought possible. Each of the staff members are so encouraging and kind. I can’t say enough how many of times I’ve talked to people and they say DEEM has truly changed their life and they wish they would’ve joined sooner.
This is an amazing and exceptional gym!! As a 68 year old woman, I needed guidance in macros, great nutrition, and workout routines to get to the next level. Six months later I had 4 kilo of lean muscle, knowledge, and old bad training techniques gone. One year later, the beginning of great looking abs, more knowledge and even more lean muscle mass. And I somehow lost 11 POUNDs, and have kept it off! I can’t wait to see what I look like after year TWO!!
After 15 years of an active lifestyle, my wife’s debilitating illness led to disability. For 5 years, she struggled with her health, weight gain, and fading spirit. We tried various weight loss centers, but they only cared about money. Then, I heard about ‘The Biggest Loser’ Competition on the radio. I contacted Mikkie, who showed genuine concern. My wife’s physical and spiritual transformation began with her help. She didn’t win the competition, but she regained her life.
At 51, my health hit rock bottom – mobility lost, excruciating pain, and 280 pounds. Severe osteoarthritis fueled despair. Seeking change, I contacted Mikkie. No more fad diets, just tailored nutrition. I shed 20 pounds, added outdoor activity, and stayed committed. Weekly meetings and Mikkie’s support kept me motivated. Prioritized health over work, treasured mobility, and thrived. Then, a brain tumour diagnosis. Surgery and recovery in 30 days due to a healthier body. Mikkie’s guidance revealed body intricacies, fostering better choices. Now 207 pounds, on a path to a longer, healthier life.
Working with Mikkie has been a game-changer for me. Despite my severe health issues like fibromyalgia, I’ve shed 5kg and inches. Mikkie’s guidance improved my pain, sleep, and work prospects. Her tailored approach beats past nutritionists, considering my health and adapting swiftly. Her support is priceless.
I’ve taken on challenges with Mikkie, shedding inches and improving food choices. Mikkie’s tips for extra workouts are genius: squat in the bathroom, while waiting for the kettle, or during microwave time. I dropped 22.5 lbs in my last challenge and gained self-confidence. Eating right means no more packing my cupboards at work. Mikkie shares recipes and alternative nutrition and exercise options.
I gained unexpected knowledge about long-term health, understanding my body better, and focusing on the big picture. I’ve learned to enjoy healthier versions of my favorite foods and bake treats for myself and Mikkie. This approach makes me want to eat healthy daily. Mikkie’s personalized and flexible coaching stands out, tailored to my preferences and lifestyle. She supports mental health and motivates even during challenging times, creating a warm and welcoming coaching experience.
