Testimonials

The Hikefit program with Sterling Fitness Results keeps me strong and healthy both physically and mentally.
I was referred to Sonia by a friend and started as a member over 2 1/2 years ago with a knee injury. Now I certainly feel stronger and fitter and hiking in nature is also another great way to keep your mind healthy too!

Sonia‘s hikes are always great! She is an excellent Guide who really knows all the wonderful bush tracks in the National Parks. She always cares for everybody and her recommendations in respect of the correct level of hike are very reliable. The long weekends with longer, more exciting hikes are great fun and I really enjoy it. If you like hiking and want to get fit through hiking, this is the club to participate 😊

I started hiking with Sonia in March this year and haven’t looked back. I love it. Having 2 small kids and working full time I was struggling to find “me time” and the time to fit in the exercise I desperately needed. I am so grateful to have found Sonia and the hikefit program. I love that it gets me outdoors, it starts early and finishes early so I get to spend the weekend with my family and I have met some really great people. Give it a go. It might just be for you.

I've just returned from Nepal after successfully completing a 3 week Everest base camp trek. Without any doubt, I would not have made it without Sonia's help. Her Hike Fit training program, tailored to my level and the equipment I had was fantastic, and along with the helpful advice on gear, Nepal, altitude and everything else was amazing. Sonia, thank you so much for your help and enthusiasm. You helped make an incredible adventure a success.

I was linked in by a friend to Sonia's Hikefit program in 2017 as I was preparing for a trek to Everest Base Camp in October 2018. I hadn't done much in the way of hiking before this and so felt that I would benefit from Sonia's experience in this area. I wasn't wrong! Over the past 18 months, she has provided me with the training and preparation I needed to get me fit for the trek and I can honestly say, I couldn't have done it without her. Apart from the physical preparation which entailed regular hikes around Sydney's beautiful bushland areas with a fabulous group of like minded people, Sonia also prepared an individual fitness program for me, gave me excellent advice as to what I would need to buy and pack for the trek to Base Camp and kept me motivated in the months leading up to it. And even while I was on the trek, she was supporting me with advice about coping with the cold and altitude. I would absolutely recommend Sonia's hike fit program for anyone considering a trek of any nature and even if you just want to find a great way to get fit, the weekend hikes she organises are fantastic.

I’m so glad to be back hiking with Sonia & her group. It’s a fun few hours of outdoors activity, close to home, with lovely “non judgey” fellow hikers of all different abilities and goals and from all walks of life.

I join Sonia most weekends on her fabulous HikeFit program. It is a 2.5 - 3 hour work out on the various walking tracks throughout the National Parks of the North Shore ... it is not a bush walk, we work hard!! My fitness level has bounded ahead from doing this program. We have a lot of fun, laugh a lot, enjoy our natural surroundings and usually learn something new on each hike. Thoroughly recommended!!

I absolutely love these hikes , being in nature , seeing so much of Sydney’s beauty, the serenity of it all . I love meeting likeminded people some who have become friends and all have been friendly and supportive . I’m so much stronger than when I started , achieving so many goals along the way . Not only are these hikes great for the body but also awesome for the mind a great way to clear the cobwebs of the week. Sonia Wray is an amazing guide and I’m confident in her local knowledge of the terrain and her concerns for our health and safety , we sometimes call her Mumma Bear . Do yourself a favour a try these hike , you might just become addicted like me.

How cool are the hikes. I joined Sonia and some of her regulars a few weeks ago. It was such an amazing morning, I loved it. It was so stress relieving, just what I needed. I look forward to booking into future walks

After another amazing hiking weekend away on the Six Foot Track in the Blue Mountains with a wonderful group recently, I am looking forward to the next adventure. Until then, I thoroughly enjoy and highly recommend hiking in nature every weekend with Sonia and the wonderful group of hikers !

My husband and I - both in our 60's - had never been to Peru, but we had done some guided mountain trekking before. This Trek exceeded our expectations by a long shot! Thanks to Sonia's Virtual TrekFit program, and our Group interactions on Facebook and Skype beforehand, we had fun getting ready to go. And then the trek itself - those stupendous mountains! Not to diminish Machu Picchu, for it was as amazing as expected, but in truth, the trek along the Salkantay High Pass trail was the star of the show - we both judge it to be the highpoint (excuse the pun) of our trip. We're not just recommending this trip to friends and families - we're urging them to go!

You did an outstanding job organizing and managing the trek, my highest compliments!!!!

Your monthly exercise Guidance and phonecalls were helpful, and motivating
