Active for Life – Green Prescription – February 2022
What is your background with health and fitness?
Before joining Green Prescription, Mikayla was lazy and was not motivated. Her mindset was, I am fat, why bother! Mikayla was then referred to Green Prescription and had doubts about it but tried it out anyway. Mikayla says, “Green Prescription changed my life,” Mikayla also found her healthy lifestyle advisor was super helpful, she became more motivated and that changed Mikayla’s mind from a negative judgemental person to a positive, can-do attitude.
How was your journey with Green Prescription?
Mikayla enjoyed everything about Green Prescription, the communication was exactly what she needed, and the discounts helped so much. She found it was an effortless process and that she did not have to think much about it as the staff get you going. Mikayla’s healthy lifestyle advisor helped a lot, and she believes that this is the best programme in New Zealand. Mikayla says, “you changed my life, and I cannot thank you enough.”
What was your main goal when joining the Green Prescription programme?
Mikayla wanted to lose weight and swim/gym 3 – 4 times a week. She has lost weight and more importantly, incorporated regular exercise into her lifestyle but does not feel as though she has achieved her goals to the fullest so wants to continue to reach that full satisfaction.
What results/impact has your journey had?
Even Mikayla’s friends say that she is like a whole new person. Mikayla says: “my body is changing, my mental, emotional, and spiritual being has changed, and Green Prescription is something I had no idea about but took a chance on and it has changed my life for the best”. Mikayla got so much more out of it then she ever expected. She feels like she use to be a loser and now she feels as if she fits in.
What are your future goals?
Mikayla would like to continue to do aqua 3-4 times a week and really focus on strength this time around so that she can feel stronger.
