When I first started training at the gym I was the heaviest I had ever been at around 135-140 kilos. I had just lost my job and I started to feel a bit depressed and felt that I was going no where. Then after looking in the mirror after a shower for 20 mins I decided to take action and signed up to my local gym. I was training in the gym for about 7 months and felt no real change and started to lose all motivation. Then I met Antony from Bodyworks. In just talking to him I knew I could achieve what felt all most impossible for me. With Antony and Ashleigh's guidance, constant support and motivation the fat may had well have fallen off me, it was that easy and life has never been better. I love working out in the gym and being healthy I couldn't go back to the way I was its become a way of life for me and I have set my sights on becoming a personal trainer because of the inspiration Ash and Ants have given me. Thank you so much guys for everything. - Ben |

Donna's Story | ||||
I walked into Bodyworks at my biggest weight ever - 8okg unfit, unhealthy and very unhappy.
I had a consultation which took approximately 1 hour, in that time I had an eating and exercise program designed to suit me. With the ongoing support and encouragement that Antony has given me, I am feeling fit, healthy and very happy. In just 6 weeks I got down to 73kg, and at the end of the 12 week program I am now weighing 66kg. -Donna Scortaioli |

Early 40 spread.... | ||

Deb - Always maintained a slim figure and even after two pregnancies, the second with twins was still able to wear Size 8 jeans (out of the hospital). Although happy, would often comment on how her body was changing shape and was unsure on what was needed as exercise alone wasn't helping. I rang Antony mid-morning and then Debra later that day to say that I was going directly to Mandurah after work, if she was to join me then her and the kid's would have to be ready to go as I drive past. It was here that biggest challenge started. For it wasn't Antony that was going to push me to the limits it was Debra, for you see we are both very competitive and will not let the other one win. Quick visit with Antony to make the relevant bookings and payments and it was confirmed, the Challenge was scheduled for 04Jan10 ~ 12 week program with Antony being the Official. With the weigh-in over and the dietary guidance provided we weren't even out of the shop and if the competition wasn't' tough enough with Debra it was certainly going to be tough with 3 children monitoring everything you did or ate. Everything Antony said about the way we eat and the portions was true, hard to accept the first couple of meals however by day 3 it was a breeze and you really don't feel hungry. In fact you find yourself asking what did your body actually do with the extra food . |

The 12 week program was fantastic. We competed against each other
Throughout and watched closely each fortnight with each weigh-in. For me, I had to plan my routine and menu a bit more as I was required to undertake some travel for work. Again, Antony was there for guidance on how best to overcome these minor hurdles. Being totally honest, if you are thinking of doing the 12 week program, stop right there, don't think, ACT it will be the best experience you will have in a long while. Antony is able to tailor the program to suit each individual and ensures that it is enjoyable and challenging. There are times where you find yourself asking the question 'why am I doing this?' thus the reason for the 'Treat Day' and are unable to see the results - for me this was the case until week 7 when pants started falling off. Six weeks in and I was back to running 10km and feeling great - you can too. Going through the program together made it so much easier as it is only the portions that varied between our menus not to mention that it also added that competitiveness. Thank you Antony for everything, we still maintain the dietary guidance and haven't stopped exercising. Your knowledge, experience and friendly nature got us to where we are today and we look forward to future visits, if not for supplements and further guidance in order to progress to the next level, at least for a coffee. Thank you Mike and Deb |

Deb's Story | ||||
Wow!! What a transformation. Not only did I lose 22 kilos, but I was a severe migraine sufferer, oftern having 2 to 3 migraines a week, but now I would only get one or two a month.WHAT A BONUS!!! I went from a dress size 16 to a size 8-10. I am 53 years old and have kept the weight off for almost a year. I wouldn't call it a DIET as such, just a different way of eating, as I have always associated diets with hunger. On this eating plan you don't get hungry, just the opposite, I've never eaten as much as I do now. Deb |

AFTER ![]() 82kg |
I come from a European background and like most we love food, unfortunately we also have a high rate of heart attacks. Both my parents passed away with heart complications, my mother at age 36 and my father at age 51. Recently 30 I realized the importance to make the changes needed to ensure I was around for my kids. I have always been active with work and sport and in recent years became involved with a sports management business managing AFL footballers. I am also involved in grass roots footy and help as an Assistant Coach and Team Manager with the Pinjarra Tigers FC Colts, this particular involvement first led to my introduction the Anthony Romeo of Bodyworks. At this stage around March 2008 I was working with a certain player as a mentor and motivator and hearing Anthony’s understanding of the body I felt I had to get this potential player to see Anthony so he could be guided with nutrition and supplements to ensure he performed at his peak on the footy field. This kid really did he made state under 18’s selection and was recently drafted to Collingwood FC. |

| Along the way he struggled for the motivation to maintain his commitment to the eating and training so I made a deal to see Anthony myself and get myself onto the bodyworks program, WOW wasn’t I surprised. I have tried diets, intense training and have lost up to 20kg in the past only to put it back on in quicker time it took to loose it.
Bodyworks made me understand my body and how it works, sounded easy…. It was I committed to the eating plan and no training (not even walking) for 3 months and dropped 15kg to prove to myself that if I could change my lifestyle (the food I ate, the amount of water I drank and when I ate) I would only get more out of it when I started to train. After the first three months I struggled to jog one lap at footy training, the following three months I was running four laps and training for 2 hours with the team twice a week plus running 2km three times a week at home. Talk about an increase in results my weight plummeted by 31kg a weight I hadn’t seen since I was an early teenager - 82KG. My weight to date has been well maintained and I do have the occasional splurge on food but Anthony has provided me with the knowledge and the confidence to stay on top of my lifestyle. I have recently taken the next step and have started doing some weight training with the help of Anthony’s personal training sessions to learn correct techniques and get the most out of each muscle group, my weight has increased but never fear its muscle (the good stuff) and I’m loving it and to top it off my wife has lost 10kg and she is getting right into the training with me (maybe she wants my energy level). As a solid believer in what Bodyworks can do I recently introduced another potential footy star who I know Anthony will have a huge impact with and hopefully help him get drafted to an AFL club also. Its important to understand Bodyworks hasn’t just changed my life it has changed my whole family’s life and I could never repay Anthony for what he has given my family, I owe you so much mate. Thanks Mate, you’re an inspiration and you make it happen - Dave |

I first met Antony at a local gym that he used to work at. He was the head trainer back in 2005. I trained with Antony for a period of ten months, in that time I realized that I had been doing everything wrong i.e. eating training etc. So Ants from me, thank you for everything, without your help I would look and be who I am today. Thanks mate. - Jim |

Fiona's Story | ||||
“Fall and I’ll catch you” Lunging with 20kg in each hand at the end of a training session… but that’s another story! At 101kg, unhappy and determined to become myself again – Antony realized my dream. Three months of hard work, discipline and loads of encouragement paid off. Throughout this time I found strength, courage and friendship and a new me. It was hard work, good fun and lots of sweat and tears. If it was not for Antony’s belief in me I would not be where I am today – 35kgs later and still strong from size 16 – 18 to a slim 8 – 10 I applaud his belief in me and I have nothing but praise for his work. To this day (3 years on) I put him on a pedestal and would highly recommend his training. As for “Fall and I’ll catch you” I did fall, but got on my feet and lived through the pain to see another day. Thank you Antony – my life is so much better having of met you. |

Steve (Tag's) Story | ||||

I had been weight training for many years and at 39 years of age, I decided to compete in a body building competition. I was introduced to Antony for some help and boy was I in for a surprise, this guy grabbed hold of me changed my diet, dragged me into the gym and proceeded to get me in the best shape of my life. He was so motivated and positive you would have thought that it was him who was competing. I thought I knew what I was doing but Antony opened my eyes and showed me what I could achieve with the right guidance. That was 2005 and I went on to come second in that first competition. Since then I have continued my relationship with Antony and Bodyworks for all my supplements, training and competition preparation which has been instrumental in helping me win an Australian title and several state titles. Thanks Ants |

Bodyworks have changed my life. I always thought I ate and trained right but after Antony Romeo's nutritional advice and personal training I not only feel fit and healthy with more energy, I have in just 12 months won State, Elite, Overall, National and Southern Hemisphere Natural Figure Fitness Titles. With Bodyworks ongoing nutritional advice, support and personal training I have the confidence to push to boundaries further to achieve my goals.
Ants and Toni, your guidance and motivation have shown me just what we can achieve when we set our minds to it. I now look forward to my training sessions and have seen the best results ever. Ants you are a true inspiration, Stay hungry. - Leonie Mischewski |

John's Story |

"Picture this, overweight, unfit and content - not a good mix. Welcome Antony Romeo owner and Operator of Bodyworks Mandurah. It took a while but when I finally decided to do something Antony was the Man. Here I was 101kilos and under 6ft, 23% body fat with a 105cm waist, But not for long, a little over 14 months and not only was I a changed man but I had competed in a natural bodybuilding competition. Without Antony’s help I would never have known my boundaries nor would I have gone beyond them. I have kept my weight off and with Bodyworks ongoing advice, personal training and supplement support there is no looking back. So to Bodyworks, thank you very much, and I look forward to more Personal training and boundary pushing in the future. To anyone thinking of a lifestyle change, don’t just think it, do it, and to Antony you’re an awesome guy, motivator and a great inspiration." - John Mischewski |
