Sally Symonds

Sally Symonds has been described as “one of Australia’s leading health and fitness experts” (Good Health magazine).

Though she freely admits to having been an ‘exercise-loather’ for the first 29 years of her life, Sally’s since transformed herself into an exercise lover—and she’s dedicated to helping others achieve the same.

Sally is a shining example to anyone who wants to lose weight, get fit and healthy and enjoy a fresh new lease on life. For Sally has truly ‘been there and done that’. Despite the nay-sayers claiming that you can’t lose a lot of weight quickly and keep it off, Sally shed a staggering 45kg in 33 weeks in 2002-03 (almost 1.5kg per week). Not only that, but she kept that weight off for 5 years and then went on to lose an additional 8.5kg. To put that weight loss in perspective, only one of Australia’s “Biggest Losers” – Bob Herdsman (2009) – has a bigger weight loss percentage…and Sally wasn’t locked away in some boot camp. She did it while balancing a busy life and very hectic career.

Since quickly establishing herself as a major player in Australia's fitness industry, Sally has become a regular healthy life contributor to a variety of national print and television media, including Sunrise, Today, The Morning Show, Mornings with Kerri-Anne, Australian Women’s Weekly Health and so on.

In 2013 Sally launched “Love Your Weight Loss” a 26 week online weight loss system comprising food, exercise and mindset components so she could touch the lives of people right across the globe. ‘Love Your Weight Loss’ gives Sally’s clients convenient and personal access to all of her expertise and guidance. The system tackles weight loss one step at a time, just like Sally did herself. Sally knows it is important to meet people where they currently are on the ‘Ladder of Commitment’. The average non-exerciser begins at the bottom in a state of near helplessness and needs to climb the rungs of awareness, experimentation, enjoyment, empowerment, improvement and accomplishment, before they can even think about making exercise a regular part of their life.

‘Most weight loss plans and programs are aimed far too high up the ladder of commitment for the average person to follow. They are designed by people who have always been fit and healthy for people who are already fairly fit and healthy which sadly, most of us aren’t.’ Sally Symonds

Most of Sally’s clients have tried countless weight loss ‘diets’ and programs and feel like failures. Sally’s system works because it turns traditional weight loss rules inside out. She gives the choice and control back to the person losing the weight. Clients need not worry that they won’t be able to stick to the system or that it won’t work for them because they are, in a sense, making their own weight loss system guided by her strategies.

In the words of one of Sally’s clients, ‘What I love about Sally’s system is that it is based on her own real-life weight loss.’
