I
had
endometriosis
surgery
in
May
2020
and
was
unable
to
get
back
to
exercising
for
over
8
weeks
post
surgery.
Unfortunately
I
got
my
appetite
back
after
week
one.
Hence
the
weight
gain
was
not
favourable.
I
was
also
nervous
about
going
back
to
the
gym
as
I
could
still
feel
a
“tightness”
and
“unstableness”
around
my
abdominal
area
after
the
surgery.
But
I
figured
having
Dino
as
a
personal
trainer
with
his
physiotherapy
qualification
would
be
a
safe
start
for
me.
Dino
is
a
great
trainer.
He
designed
my
program
to
suit
me
and
would
observe
where
I
could
be
pushed,
or
if
I
was
starting
to
find
things
difficult/painful,
he
would
immediately
make
modifications.
I
was
reassured
that
his
training
as
a
physiotherapist
would
ensure
I
did
not
injure
myself
post-op.
A
lot
of
the
exercises
were
body
weight/functional
exercises
and
I
started
to
feel
stronger
and
more
confident
about
what
my
body
could
handle
after
a
few
sessions.
I
also
placed
several
limitations
on
Dino’s
programme
including
insisting
that
I
was
not
changing
my
diet
(which
includes
ice
cream,
donuts
etc.
ask
Dino).
Dino
listened,
and
I
appreciated
that
he
did
not
push
me
on
this
and
tailored
a
program
to
take
this
into
consideration.
Of
course
I
had
to
moderate
my
own
expectations
since
I
would
not
follow
the
food
program
😅
But
I
think
we
got
where
we
needed
to
despite
that,
didn’t
we,
Dino??
🤣
The
environment
at
6
Pillars
is
quite
conducive
and
supportive.
There
is
the
occasional
jesting
among
the
staff
and
members
that
creates
a
familiarity
that
you
don’t
get
with
the
bigger
gyms,
which
is
really
nice.
They
also
have
quite
a
few
other
events
including
their
row-a-thon
and
their
Ukraine
fundraising.
I
do
not
have
children,
but
some
days
after
my
training
ended,
I
saw
children
sessions
starting;
which
seemed
really
wholesome.
They
really
strife
to
create
a
community
for
their
members
that
is
more
than
just
a
gym.
So
stop
by,
have
a
chat
to
the
team
and
sign
up
for
a
few
sessions!
