Steve "The Commando" Willis - Celebrity Trainer / TV's Popular Biggest Loser Trainer

Carissa is a driven, compassionate young woman who goes above and beyond to help others be the best version of themselves. She was one of a number of trainers who helped train over a hundred people alongside me for the launch of GetCommandoFit squads. We had a very early start and Carissa was there mixing with the participants firing them up and motivating them to give their best. |

Carissa has/is (been) my personal trainer two years. Through this time Carissa has helped me to achieve many personal and fitness goals. Even though I have lost quite a bit of weight (over 40 kilos) without Carissa’s support, encouragement, explaining, talking and at some times raising her voice I could not the amount of weight that I have lost on my own. |
Carissa has pushed me outside my comfort zone and before her training me I could not even do a burpee but now can. Carissa is always encouraging me to “run the extra one kilometre”, which I could not do that, or even “push the sled with an extra 40 kilos of weights on it”. I very much respect and admire Carissa for the extra effort and time she has put in to help me to not only to lose the amount of weight I have to date, but also with some personal goals of mine which include; to exercise in a large group of people, doing a stair climb in the “great outdoors”, running in my local neighbourhood and not being embarrassed that people are “staring at me” and also being a very more sociable and outgoing person.
I cannot imagine a lot of people getting out of bed in the early hours of 6am or 7am on the weekends and weeknights or even during the holiday periods (especially in the winter) and training them for an hour.
Even though I do give her attitude, complain, whinge and say “I cannot do this”, “are you kidding me”, “I cannot do any more” “no more” Carissa is the first one to say “You can do this, you are much stronger than you think you are” “show me how much you want it.” Carissa uses as a positive way to encourage me.
I see Carissa as a person who never gives up, never backs down from a challenge or even think “it is just too hard” she has completely changed my outlook on not just exercising but also life. Even though some of fitness and personal goals I have met I know there is a lot more which I would like to meet and I know that with Carissa’s support and encouragement I know that these goals will be achieved. I see these goals more as a reality and not just a dream (which I once thought they could only ever be)

Carissa is an amazing trainer and coach, she always shows patience in helping clients learn and develop their skills. She is always there to push you that little bit further when you are starting to slow down and encourages out of the box thinking to resolve situations with decision making and concentration. |

At the age of 62 and having trained for over 40 years with many fitness trainers, I can honestly say that Carissa is one of the most inspiring and motivating personal fitness trainers that I have ever met. As well as having a unique training style, Carissa is genuinely interested in helping her clients achieving their fitness goals. It’s difficult enough to find these characteristics in experience trainers let alone in someone in their early twenties. It’s these caring attributes and her commitment and passion for her work that makes Carissa an exceptional fitness trainer. |
