Our Success Stories

[ Back to top | Enquire about our 12-Week Wellness Programme ]

Holistic health

Wellness is a whole-of-life feeling.

But many diets and exercise programs have only a short term effect. People soon slip back into their old habits and lose the gains.

At CBD, we know from experience that lasting lifestyle change comes from 3 things:

• A holistic approach including exercise, diet and physio where it’s needed.
• Health education, including learning specific new skills such shopping for nutrition and healthier basic recipes that are quick and tasty.
• The support of a team of professionals focused on helping you reach your goals.

How the Wellness Program works

Your Wellness Program starts with a comprehensive, non-intrusive Health Assessment, which includes physiological and biological components.

This gives an insight into current state of your health and helps identify existing or potential health problems, plus target areas for improvement.

The Initial Consultation also analyses current eating habits and activity levels.

We then agree with you some realistic and manageable dietary and exercise guidelines.

Subsequent consultations review progress in exercise and diet and make adjustments to the program to suit you.

Follow-up Consultations are set according to your needs. Their goal is to ensure maintenance of new dietary habits, activity levels and other lifestyle changes that will have you feeling and looking better – for life.

Personal Consultants are the key to success

Our Wellness Program is based on personal consultants, who head up your support team and work one-on-one with you.

Your personal consultant is the key to your success. They’re your motivator, your guide, and they co-ordinate the contributions of your personal coach, physiotherapist and dietitian.

Your personal consultant will work with you as an individual, keep your motivation up, and get you through to the results you want.

All of our personal consultants keep up to date with the latest information on fitness, diet and health. They know their stuff, you can rely on them for healthy lifestyle advice.

The importance of the health diary

A very popular part of the Wellness Program is the day-by-day health diary you’ll receive.

This personalised, A4 diary includes meal-by-meal menus (and snacks!), work-out records and appraisals. The menus and recipes are designed by CBD’s dietitian, who you’ll meet with regularly. The exercises are customised to your individual needs, based on initial and ongoing health assessments.

The diary helps pinpoint areas that need more work, so your personal consultant can modify your program for maximum results.

It’s a rewarding, permanent record of your efforts and achievements, that will keep you motivated and on track.

Health education

Practical health education is part of the Wellness Program’s holistic approach.

For example, people usually shop by habit, and poor diet often starts in the supermarket. We’ll take you on small group ‘shopping tours’ where you’ll learn how to choose low-fat, high nutrition products rather than the dangerous foods that are often promoted.

People cook by habit too. Usually people have just a handful of recipes that make up most of their meals. We give you new recipes, customised by our dietitian, that are just as easy to prepare and just as satisfying – but will meet your real nutrition needs without excess fats or sugars.

By the time you complete our Wellness Program, you will have learned new shopping, cooking and lifestyle skills and ingrained them as habits. You’ll have achieved real lifestyle change.

Don’t go it alone

Changing your lifestyle by yourself is a daunting, near-impossible task. You need a helping hand.

That’s why CBD’s Wellness Program is one-on-one. It’s why you’ll have a personal consultant who’ll work with you on a weekly basis, a personal trainer, dietitian and physio.

It’s the personal contact and encouragement that makes it work.

We’ve helped thousands of people, and we understand the problems. We can give you a hand too.

Let the taxman pay for you

CBD’s Wellness Program is so good, it’s fully approved as a medical service. That means it’s exempt from GST.

CBD’s Wellness Program is also exempt from FBT, if your employer is paying – making membership it a very effective salary packaging option. You could be paying it with before-tax income (cutting the effective cost by up to half), but there is no tax penalty to the employer as there is with cars or most other fringe benefits.

Staff membership benefits the employer too, through lower absenteeism due to illness and higher productivity from more alert and energetic employees.

Health Fund Rebates

CBD’s Wellness Program is also eligible for substantial rebates through private health funds.

With financial help from the taxman and health fund, you could end up paying as little as $7.31 a week for a fully personalised, one-on-one, professional program.

As part of a salary package, your effective payment could be not much more than 50¢ a day. And that will make for a healthy wallet as well.

For people who don’t like gyms

Some people just don’t like gyms, especially where they’re about pumping iron and not much else.

Our emphasis is that exercise is just one – essential – component of wellness. That’s why we pay just as much attention to diet and to one-on-one personal contact with our range of health care professionals.

Wellness is about getting more out of life. So your health program should be fun.

If you’re competing, it’s against your own life goals – we don’t have that negative, critical atmosphere that many people dislike about gyms.

In fact, the people at CBD look like a fair cross-section of society.

We’re right in the heart of the city and open 24 hours. We’ve got a café and a pro-shop. You can come in before or after work, whatever their hours, and it’s like a transition for them between work and the rest of their lives. There’s a very social atmosphere.

Because so many of our members are involved in one-on-one programs, there’s a very high level of personal involvement between members and staff.

You’ll feel welcome here – even if you hate gyms.”

How you feel is how you look

The benefits of exercise are far ranging: better health, greater resistance to colds and disease in general, better work performance without afternoon drowsiness, even longer life.

Once you feel good in yourself, you’ll start to look good. People will notice the spring in your step, the brightness in your eyes. They’ll feel that you’ve got more energy and enthusiasm.

That kind of positive impression comes only from exercise and good diet.

Getting you there and helping you stay that way is our job – guaranteed or your money back.

The people, the place, the equipment

Just like the name says, we’re in the heart of the City and we’re open 24 hours, so you can work out before or after work – or anytime.

We have a comprehensive range of the latest equipment. If you want to exercise efficiently, focusing on exercises that quickly achieve your goals, then you need equipment that matches your needs.

To really succeed quickly, you need a personal consultant to keep you on track, to reward and encourage you. A personal trainer to ensure you are getting the best out of your workouts, a dietitian and a physio on hand.

That’s why, at CBD, it’s our people who are most important to your success.

Because of your money back guarantee, the pressure is really on us to achieve the results you want. We are the only people can deliver the personal support that your makes for success.

If you want to feel better in yourself and get more out of life, the CBD Wellness Program is the best thing you can do for yourself.
