Hi Craig, I refer all the people I know to you that need assistance as I think what you do has been the most beneficial help I had ever experienced, hence I don’t need another appointment at this time……………I’m on top of my game. I don’t even have to listen to music that much this week and I’m not eating chocolate.

Re: Craig Elliot
Thanks Craig,
I am so happy with the changes I have made already and feel great. I wish I had met you years ago and I would already be at my goal. The positive changes I have made in a short time are amazing and I already feel I have acheived a lot. I now have a completely different view of losing weight I would recommend your services to anyone not only for weight loss but I am sure your program would benefit a various lifestyle changes. I will always be grateful and it is great to have the knowledge that you would always be willing to follow up with my progress. Thanks again. I look forward to your seminar to cement what I have learned and changed. There is no going back now.

Thanks for this Craig.
I really appreciate the session the other night. I can’t tell you how much things have changed since Tuesday. Not just the food I choose to eat, but the way I can push myself in personal training and also the way I react to things at work.
On Wednesday morning I went to my usual shop to buy my Coke Zero and without even really thinking about it I walked past the coke and picked up a bottle of water. It was awesome – and no craving the Coke either.
I would like to have some more sessions with you – because I would really like to keep this momentum going.
Thank you so much Craig
Cheers Nikki

In a completely safe environment Craig guided me very professionally
with replacing old destructive patterns by new creative ones.
My 40 year weight struggle is finally over! I’m free! And …… loosing weight real fast!

Hello Craig,:
“I wasn’t sure this was what i needed “Lose the fat in your head” but something kept drawing me back to this pamphlet on the gym wall.
After meeting with Craig after the first session it was like this dim lightbulb started to glow brighter!!
With my current mindset no wonder i was going around in circles with my weight loss up and down always feeling like crap, depressed and nothing in life to look forward to.
Craig has taught me valuable lessons and helped me to get the correct mindset. I am now clearly aware of where i am, where i want to go and most importantly, what i need to do to get there.
The things that have changed within our sessions (some of which I have tried to address before) have finally shifted, your techniques are very powerful.
This is something i havent experienced before
Its is also quite exciting to actually now have direction and aspirations too.
How can I say thank you enough !! My Husband thanks you also I am now a much easier person to live with!!
Thanks again
Jennifer

After my first appointment with Craig I had some shopping to do – when I got to the supermarket I went to where “my” goodies were shelved and I looked, and I stood there looking, but I didn’t want anything. I finished my shopping leaving with none of the ‘extras’ saving myself over $35!! I got in my car and thought, “I don’t believe this, not so soon, I’ve only had one appointment”, but it was happening, the “goody” trigger wasn’t working!
I’ve now had 4 or 5 appointments – it’s not just about food, other factors arise which surprised me. I have lost weight – without trying and without “dieting”. That’s not only what it’s all about though – Craig’s system is helping me get a better life for myself and most importantly, total well-being.
Thank you Craig for helping me to move towards a better, more fulfilling and satisfying life for myself.

I wanted to be fitter, stronger and more motivated. I had two challenges: getting myself into activity second was getting past the first 10 minutes of any exercise. Craig began on a programme for me. At 175cms tall, I was 84 kgs, a size 16 with body fat of 29%. After three months I had lost 8kg. I hired a Personal Trainer, whilst she had the exercise and diet eating plan for me, nobody could have done what Craig and I had. The motivation, determination and self-belief was set firmly in my mind.
After six months, I am now at a healthy weight, I work out 4-5 times a week.
I highly recommend Craig Elliot’s services for anyone willing to improve and build on their personal development. Craig is very professional and committed”.

Just to update you with things… I hope I am not being a pain here but if you might recall I came to visit with you at your home with my husband and my big son. We then attended the intial seminar you ran at the Events Centre. Well we acted on your counsel from that seminar and this is what has happened.
1. My husband found an exercise programme for his diabetes and has just completed it and lost 15 kg with pedalling on a fixed cycle for 30 minutes twice a week. His insulin readings reduced drastically and he looks and feels so much better.
2. Our son is now a DJ working a Radio Raukawa 103.1 FM and has his own show…He is Cuzzy Matt and does the drive time & rangatahi show from 3pm to 7pm, Monday to Friday.
3. Our other son found work with computers and graphic design and is loving the experience and was fortunate to work on the Olympic printing of garments and was so thrilled to see the garments on the athletes at the Olympics and tried to tell us all about how they got made.
4. The other son really worked hard and made it into the Horowhenua College First X1V and has loved his whole year of Rugby this year.
5. Our 12 year old daughter has found talents that she is now wanting to pursue and had set her goals to achieve them.. all on her own. We think that this is just marvelous.
6. Me, I am working full time and this is a real priviledge for me.
If this is what we have done from just an initial 1 hour seminar. Mind you it has taken almost one year to achieve this. But what could we achieve from a 3 day seminar?

Hey Craig
Just to THANK YOU ever so much for your really GREAT talk last night at the gym!
It was REALLY well received, many people had not heard you talk before and they were impressed with your knowledge and the few key points you were able to touch on (albeit briefly due to the strict time frame).
It was very good of you to do the seminar and I am confident we will keep in touch
I’m in a hurry now, but just wanted to touch base to thank you and to also let you know that I shall draft up the one-on-one times that members requested for your services.
I’ll get on to it in the next day – but from memory Monday was all full!
I’ll be in touch again

I went to Craig Elliot to try to instil a tougher mental attitude for my performance and training regimes. Craig was very thorough in determining the root cause of my mental weaknesses and replacing ingrained negative thought patterns.
The results were immediate. Following my final session, I completed the Auckland Half Marathon for the second year, with a 25-minute improvement on my previous time.
I put this improvement almost solely down to the improved mental attitude. I thoroughly recommend his service to anyone wanting to reach their potential and become the best they can be”.
M Stewart. Auckland

I just wanted to say thanks for your help in the 2003/04 triathlon season. The training and racing mindset strategies you helped me put in place worked exceptionally well.
I managed to place 2nd at the 2003 ITU World Triathlon Championships in the 40 – 44 age group and 1st in the same age group at the 2004 New Zealand Ironman with an overall placing of 11th.
I would like you to come and talk to the squad I coach about the different strategies you’ve used that got such great results for my athletes who amongst other things have experienced lack of self belief, the high level motivation required and debilitating panic attacks at the start of the swim.
I look forward to catching up soon.

“The work that we did on building my confidence and increasing my ability to focus during a race, I believed played a significant part in my gaining selection into the New Zealand Rowing Team. On August 18 2002 our New Zealand crew won gold at the Commonwealth Championships.
My ability to perform under pressure that day, having the concentration and clarity throughout the race to keep us in the lead as well as remaining fixed on my technical performance I contribute wholly to my work with Craig. Creating and perfecting the skills of relaxation and focus so to block out all distractions and doubts has undeniably benefited my sporting performance.
As I get closer to the Olympic Games, I know that my ability to mentally prepare myself for the training and the competition that lies ahead will be of as much importance as the physical training”.

To Whom It May Concern

The level of performance of a tennis player is determined by tennis skills, and their tactical interpretation The effectiveness of the tactical interpretation is then influenced by achieving the best possible state of mind and attitudes for learning.
Pupils also need to understand and work towards developing the mental skills that will enable them to get the most out of each coaching session and the time in between sessions as well. Primarily this involves imaging and body awareness/sensitivity or feel.
Building these skills is also invaluable for mastering performance strategies and techniques later on.
I endorse the work of Craig Elliot who has opened up my mind and shown me how to improve my lesson structures and at the same time given my students, children and adults a faster and more effective way to learn new tennis skills.

Since attending sessions with Craig Elliot, I have found that I have more self-confidence. Prior, I was extremely self-conscious in my riding. I now feel more comfortable with my riding ability, have a better attitude, and am focussed towards my goal of selection into a national squad.
My instructor commented within a week of attending Craig’s sessions that my riding position had improved out of sight – I would thoroughly recommend any sports minded person who suffers self-doubt and negativity to contact The Zone.

“I have been playing regular Netball now for 4 years and more recently have been playing Premier Grade Netball. Incorporating craig’s Programme into my weekly training schedule has assisted me greatly in my preparation and mental approach to each game. Applying the programme has given me the confidence and the Self-Belief to succeed.
I definitely recommend this to any young athlete or sports person who has the desire but lacks the aptitude to succeed.

Corporate Clients

To whom it may concern.
I have been working with Craig for the past 9 months. My goal was to work more effectively. I wanted to work fewer hours and increase my income. When Craig and I started I was earning a six figure income. Craig had a very simple job description. That was to “get me out of my way”. Although we have the skill and the desire it is my belief that a lot of us don’t clearly define our desired outcomes and the actions that are necessary to achieve those outcomes. We also tend to underrate ourselves. I interviewed a lot of coaches before I employed Craig. He got the job because he not only has the practical ability but he also understands the human mind. Let’s face it; the mind can be an asset or a liability. Believe me when I tell you Craig ensures our mind becomes an asset. In the last 9 months I have more than doubled my income and my stress levels have plummeted.
I have found Craig to operate with absolute Professionalism and Integrity. Craig has a unique ability to find out the core issues that are hindering our abilities to succeed be that personally or professionally.
So much so I am introducing him to my business clients.
I don’t write testimonials lightly and I am happy to chat on the phone if you need any further clarification.
I strongly recommend taking 1 hour to meet with Craig. Then if you meet him again it is your call.
Kind Regards

I have had success working with Craig Elliot in connecting with and breaking down some barriers which were impacting my effectiveness in both my business and personal life. Craig helped me identify with the underlying cause very quickly. Once they were known I was guided through a process to permanently eliminate them. The process was safe and conducted very professionally. I felt fully supported, respected and confident that my objective breaking through these barriers would be achieved. The ongoing impact of this change is that I have confronted some old and limiting beliefs and now relish whatever challenges are presented to me. In addition I am confident of my own ability to achieve what I want in my life and no longer waste time and energy creating reasons for not achieving them. I have no hesitation in recommending Craig to anyone who wants to significantly improve their effectiveness and lives.

The exercises I went through under Craig’s experienced tuition opened my eyes to the way we can reprogram our brain, without having to fight and struggle with our conscious self. It turned out that to make those all important changes in thinking, all I had to do was imprint on my subconscious a new pattern of thought. I didn’t need to convince my everyday self. Not rocket science but truly amazing!

Coaching really has transformed my ability to function well in my work environment. I found that being able to take real situations to a coaching session was invaluable. The coach will make sure that you look at different ways of dealing with the situations and the great thing is that it’s not just theory – these are tangible mechanisms that you can start to incorporate into life immediately. Coaching can also ensure that you work towards achieving goals effectively, using methods that will work for you. The experience of the coaches is paramount to successful coaching, as is the need for the coachee to be completely open to new ideas. It’s a very rewarding journey to embark upon.

Thanks Craig,
This is the first time I have had a chance to read my emails since our last meeting. I will look at them over the weekend. I really appreciate your efforts, time and energy. I think you have been instrumental in changing my mindset for the better. It is on reflection that I realize how far you have taken me.

Hello Craig.
Sorry this have taken me so long to get this to you but I have been flat out with organising myself for Melbourne. Here is my testimonial.
Thanks to Craig I was able to get my life back on track. The methods put in place by Craig have helped me see the positive in all situations and to learn that everything has a positive you just have to find it. I have succeeded in getting in to a Performing arts school in Melbourne and without Craig’s help I would have had the confidence to back myself and the show the audition panel the best i had to give. Craig has not only helped with the big things in my life but the day to day life as well. I don’t dwell on things that I can’t change only the things that are in my control. I recommend Craig to anyone who has trouble with confidence or anything. He has been invaluable to my success so far and will do in to the future.
