BariEx- Refocus/Redefine/Reclaim

Your BariEx Coach Vanessa Warren is a bariatric exercise specialist, personal trainer and coach with over 30 years working in the fitness and wellness space. She is the creator of the ‘health and fitness at any size’ course for fitness professionals in New Zealand and Australia. She has also presented at fitness conferences about exercise and bariatrics.

We created BariEx so the focus is no longer about exercise for weight loss – it’s about creating a more balanced approach to movement and activity after bariatric surgery. We know that exercise, movement and activity help with all aspects of health and wellness, so no more punishing exercise regimes with the sole focus on weight loss and misery. Time to reclaim your body! We teach you the importance of resistance exercise, movement for enjoyment, and learning how your ‘new’ body works and what it can become more capable of. Movement is possible at whatever size you are, and with BariEx you choose what level you’re currently at, with the program specific to your needs. The BariEx program also includes understanding what is happening to your body and how it is affected, post-surgery activity guidelines, setting goals, and examples of exercise programs for cardio fitness, home based and gym workouts, bodyweight, and weight-based programs.

“Focusing on all aspects of what your body needs following bariatric surgery. Reconnecting your body and mind through activity and movement”.

Recommended to do within the first 6 months after bariatric surgery.
