Testimonials
I was a part of Channel Ten's series three of THE BIGGEST LOSER. I took my weight from 140.8 kilos down to 88 kilos. Mareike trained me in the lead up to heading into the house and also once I have been evicted. The fitness she taught me before heading into the house was instrumental in my success on the show. I honestly believe that because of Mareike I had the edge to be the fittest and strongest competitor on the show. I held the number one position in the house from the second week until I was evicted 4 months later. I honestly believe the background knowledge Mareike gave me was a big part of this success. I went on to be the biggest loser for the week 4 times out of 9 weigh-ins.
I would recommend Mareike to anyone seeking to lose weight and learn about a healthier lifestyle. For me she has been more than a personal trainer, she has become a friend. Whether she is making me do shoulder presses or offering me a shoulder to cry on she is fantastic and so supportive. After leaving the White House, I continue to see Mareike and together we have developed a weight maintenance and muscle building training schedule which has worked perfectly. I have a lot to thank her for.

I am a 50-year old woman who, some 18 months ago, was told I had a very poor bone density. Despite the fact I had played competitive hockey for many years this was disappointing and I knew I had to change my life, improve fitness and get healthy.
Mareike has tailored a fitness program to ensure that I am steadily making significant progress on a continuing basis towards achieving a high level of fitness, strength and life improvement.
18 months later, stronger and fitter than I have been in many years, my latest bone density test placed me in the average bracket for my age. A complete turnaround both in medical and in life enjoyment terms.
With the fitness and confidence I now have I have taken up bike riding and will be cycling through Burgundy this year. Life has never been so rewarding with fitness obstacles now swept away, all thanks to Mareike.
I've felt the healthiest I can remember for years. Every session is great; the feeling of achievement is sensational. I have no hesitation in recommending Mareike to any prospective client.

During the past 12 months I have been Mareike's direct line manager at Next Generation Memorial Drive.
In this time I have observed Mareike as a Personal Trainer working within the club environment. Her detail and passion towards delivering her services at Next Generation is second to none.
Her ability to think laterally in regard to the training of clients at different fitness levels has made her one of the most sought after trainers in the facility. Mareike soft approach to her training philosophy has enabled her to pass on her knowledge to clients and junior trainers alike.
I find Mareike to be a focused individual who is able to show compassion and respect to all people, her ability to easily converse with individuals has allowed her to give advice to those who seek it. She has also delivered Health and Fitness seminars at the club relating to Women's health.
Mareike has had the opportunity to train clients from all walks of life including some of the States A1 Celebrity list, regardless of this Mareike remains level headed and focused toward delivering an unforgettable training session no matter how famous the client is.
Mareike is extremely knowledgeable in all facets of the industry and prides herself on learning and delivering up to date information to her clients. Her passion toward the industry has also enabled her to create a successful PT business outside of her commitment to Next Generation. Her ability to manage her client bases without compromising her professional implementation of training sessions is a direct reflection of Mareike's focus and passion to succeed.
Mareike's personal story is one of inspiration and self determination and I strongly believe that Mareike is certainly worthy to be nominated as Personal Trainer of the Year.

This is a letter of acknowledgement for the exemplary service that my personal trainer Mareike Bout has provided for me. I have been training with Mareike for 14 weeks and have lost 14kgs of body weight.
Mareike has orchestrated an exercise plan that has increased my fitness ability from struggling to walk around the block, to being able to run for forty minutes. I meet with Mareike 5 days a week - the sessions that I have are rarely the same, she inspires and motivates me with her enthusiasm, skills and the example she sets. I have been following the nutritional guidelines which were designed by Mareike; these have been a key factor in my weight loss. I have tried working out on my own before and did not find success that was satisfying and had the opposite effect, de-motivating and frustrating me. I personally believe without having the guidance as well as the sessions in the gym that Mareike has designed for me, I would not have made the progress as I have.
Not only has Mareike equipped me with a health and lifestyle program and workout schedule but she is also a huge resource of knowledge that has helped me along the way to my goals. Increasing my fitness and state of health and gaining a great physique means a lot to me for numerous reasons, such as the ability to participate in sporting events without fatiguing, maintaining a healthy long life as well as increasing the clothing selection that will be available to me. To be honest I am fortunate that Mareike is my trainer, with her help (due to her experience) on fitness and nutrition I would not be able to make the progress I have made already, never alone trying to achieve the goals that I want.
