Three kids later, SoccerFit was the perfect way to get active again - Alicia's story

Hear how Alicia improved her fitness and became hooked on soccer while attending SoccerFit

Before SoccerFit, I actually hadn’t done any sport in 20 years. I always found the gyms a little intimidating. I felt pretty good after having my first child but having twins exhausted me physically and I just couldn’t seem to recover. It was when I needed to have a rest on the way to the clothesline that I made the decision to do something. And then I saw the ad for SoccerFit in the Far South Coast Community College brochure. Thankfully, no experience was needed because I’d never even seen a soccer game, let alone kicked a ball!

Although my fitness level was atrocious, I could take a rest whenever I needed to. I was comforted by the fact that I wasn’t the only one who had no experience and nobody seemed to mind that I had no co-ordination. The trainer, is great, really skilled, knowledgeable and always encouraging. But it was playing the simplified game at the end of the session that I knew I was hooked! I’ve been doing Soccerfit for 18 months now and I love it. The people are fantastic and the atmosphere is great. Being able to spend time outdoors is wonderful. What I had hoped to get out of Soccerfit was to improve my fitness while having fun. But I wasn’t prepared for how much more I would get out of it. I feel like I have taken ownership of my body and along the way discovered a passion for soccer.
