Step Change - healthy weight loss programme in Aylesbury.

Step Change is a unique healthy weight loss programme for people who need help and motivation to get active, lose weight and start living a healthier and happier lifestyle

The programme will take you on a life changing journey in a friendly, non intimidating environment – you will be part of a small, private group all working together towards the same goal as well as having the option of one to one personal training sessions.

An experienced health and fitness professional will guide and encourage you along the way, breaking the journey down into small, realistic and non-daunting steps. You will be equipped with a pedometer to track your activity levels, a detailed exercise and food plan and given inspiration, tips and close guidance every STEP of the way.

Not only will we focus on weight loss and increasing your number of steps per day, you will also learn about long term healthy living, be involved with both individual and group challenges and take part in a final challenge so you have something to aim for and shout about if you wish.

We will look at the psychological factors that affect our behaviour around eating and exercise, which will enable us to more effectively tackle barriers, negative thoughts and unhelpful habits. We will also learn how to use our strengths to develop self-confidence, and boost our own motivation to create long-term change.

The journey will be challenging at times, yet very rewarding and a lot of fun, by the end of it you will have gained more confidence and achieved something to be proud of – as well as losing a lot of weight along the way!

The only thing you need, is the will to change.

What people say

If anyone is thinking about this stop. Just do it!! Tara is the best pt in the world. She literally changes lives. She is so incredibly supportive and kind. She is so enthusiastic and passionate about what she does that you can’t help but take on that influence. I am so proud of what we’ve all achieved on this programme. It’s been hard at times but Tara is always there to reassure you and get you back on track. Just sign up! It will literally change your life.

Rachel BambrookStone, Bucks

Tara is an inspiration and works with you to set out realistic goals. I have always been on a “diet” but working with Tara I have made some permanent changes/choices into healthy living. Even being injured Tara and the team were so supportive and kept me going to achieve my goals even when I wanted to give up. It has been an amazing journey and one I feel strong enough to continue.

Tracey MallettAylesbury, Bucks

Anyone wanting to shift some weight in a team of people who will support you the whole way and with an amazing PT who guides you endlessly, who genuinely wants to see you succeed and be happy with yourself whilst maintaining a realistic healthy lifestyle then this is the program for you. I can 1000% vouch for this program and for Tara as a PT. I could not have asked for a better role model to help me turn things around. No let downs and complete focus from a PT makes the process a whole lot easier. #shecares #Icare. Thank you!

Vicky TaylorWendover, Bucks

I joined wanting to change from an unhealthy, fatty careless lifestyle, to a structured, happy and healthy one. This has happened and I love it now. I am no longer hungry all the time, no longer greedy and I feel like a more mature person having control of what I eat, drink and choose for my spare time activity. I have always been a team player so being part of a group that are all in the same position works great for me! Tara is soooo passionate about helping us, there isn’t a time of day she won’t answer a question. I will be gutted when this is over but I know that this has helped me make a permanent change.

Georgia SmithWeedon, Bucks

Started Step Change with Tara 4 weeks ago and feel like a different person , I’ve lost 15 pounds through her training program and with constant updates on food and training she has made it very easy for me , amazing , talented and knows how to keep your spirits up when you’re down, so I’d say the best trainer / instructor in Bucks for lifetime changes is most definitely Tara at thrive / Step Change.

Trevor BatemanBucks

Tara has an amazing caring personality which comes across in all training sessions. She always makes sure I understand, and am happy with equipment and explains how and what parts of my body the training works. She works not just on fitness but also nutrition and is fantastic at confidence building. She’s awesome!!!

What will I be eating?

This is NOT a shake, supplement, soup, smoothie or any kind of fad diet! The plan is sensible and healthy eating based on whole, lean and natural foods, rather than processed and refined foods.

You will learn about clean eating and being able to enjoy food without going hungry. It’s about changing long term habits, learning a balance and being able to moderate treats.

The plan is suitable for vegans/vegetarians.

This does not involve specialist and expensive foods, everything can be purchased in your local supermarket and there is no annoying weighing, measuring etc!

Healthy eating - part of the healthy weight loss programme

What exercise will I be expected to do?

This will really depend on your current activity levels. You will have an initial profiling session with the Personal Trainer who will then provide you with a personalised and realistic exercise plan.

One main focus will be to increase your number of STEPs per day and this will be recorded via the pedometer provided and uploaded into a tracking chart.

What will the group meetings entail?

Each group meeting will be different and held at various locations. Sometimes they will be active such as walking trails and workouts, and others will be educational (for example learning about good/bad foods) as well as team building and open discussions. Near the end of the healthy weight loss programme we will undertake a group challenge followed by a social evening out to celebrate our achievement.
