Miyagi Avis 359

I chose to buy into Miyagi's program even though it stretched my budget further than l was comfortable with because-
* lt offered a highly qualified Cardiologist heading the team
* The program offered direct dietitian coaching
* lifestyle habit coaching
* detailed meal recipes, and cooking shows to suit a particular need
* in fact the resources offered were so extensive l was tempted to try to suspend the program because l felt l had too much on and did not feel l could take full advantage of the amount available.
* l was persuaded to continue, but it required me having to look hard at my story of feeling that l might be putting a ceiling on what l could achieve that stops me from being more than l was. It required significant rewiring of my subconscious baseline. I might add that by most standards l achieve a lot more than most men my age... so l felt affronted when it was suggested l should look at how l organise my day and perhaps l could indeed do even more! Initially my reaction was anger! Im paying a lot for this course and l want to get the most out it, but l cant right now because lm already incredibly busy.
However, l chose to give it a go, and see if l could raise my bar.... maybe it was artificially set too low, l asked of myself. So lastly l am still a work in progress, l got within a 1 kg of my target weight , and changed my diet significantly, and resumed my mt bike riding to improve my cardiovascular health which had suffered over the past 3 years from.being an owner builder starting at 67.
So in the end, one of the biggest benefits from the course was rewiring my brain to remove a self limiting achievement image.. ( how dare anyone ask more of me syndrome) to one where ... "we are our habits, why not look at rewiring anything that limits the ability to live life to its fullest. Because the gift of "having a life" is a truly remarkable thing.

I am 71 years old and semi-retired Yoga teacher who teaches 6 classes per week.
I am happy to share that I am thrilled with my progress so far. I joined on the 7th September 2025 and have had nearly 4 months on the program and I am delighted to have lost 4 kilos and have kept it off!
During that period of time, I navigated my way through healthy eating whilst having a 6-day holiday where we dined out every evening, attended 4 family birthday parties, enjoyed our 51st Wedding Anniversary Dinner, attended Christmas parties, coffee catch ups with girlfriends, hosted Christmas Dinner with family of 15, and enjoyed general everyday living.
The support and education I gained through the excellent webinars, personal zoom meetings with dietician, and information was beyond my expectations. I have learnt far more in this program than I have in all my years. I have always been interested in my health, but since menopause and a 10kg gain in weight, nothing has worked for me to help me with weight loss until NOW!
The BEST thing about being in and following this program is that I have gone from taking 125mg of medication for high blood pressure which developed since menopause and weight gain, to now taking 75mg with view to ceasing medication in a few weeks with the support of my GP. My GP is delighted with my progress and success so far and is keen to recommend this program.
This program is the best investment that I have made for myself. I am so thankful that I clicked the LEARN MORE button on the Facebook advertisement for Heart Smart. Thank You.

I would just like to sincerely thank the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) and also Consumer Affairs Victoria for their incredible support.

I have been to hell and back with Miyagi and Heart Smart Australia over the past 10 months.

I signed up in February this year but soon after my financial circumstances changed and I could no longer afford the program.

Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months of absolute distress trying to cancel my contract.

After only a few weeks I realised I couldn’t afford the program. There is NO cooling off period.

So after months and months of trying to negotiate with Miyagi (Heart Smart Australia) they had absolutely no compassion at all for my circumstances and their right arm financial lender Payright decided to report me to the Credit agencies and now I have a credit default for the first time in my life. I’m 48 years old.

Those thinking of joining Miyagi- Heart Smart Australia do so with incredible caution.

Most reputable companies will allow you to get out of a contract if your circumstances change but not these guys.

Their staff is incredibly rude with no compassion.

My mental health suffered so much that local Police were doing welfare checks on me.

I still had to pay over $5k for absolutely nothing.

Please avoid Miyagi like your life depends on it. Absolutely disgusting company.

The best programme I have used benefiting my health in multiple ways . Education completely on foods to eat , how to prepare, why they are of benefit to you . Education on exercise, that is specific to your liking & preference . Education on why we manage our lives the way we do and how to make those changes one step at a time .Medication Protocol strategy and reasons for them as each individual requirements . Dietian cooking demonstration ,and individual sessions of dietary input .So many great resources that you can utilise in your own pace . Recipies & other education programmes on line , the book club is a great tool of informative books to read and discuss. The most important thing is a contract to your self with Miyagai behind you ALL THE WAY keeping you to your chosen commitments and individual Choices .

I am throughly enjoying being part of the Heart Smart Miyagi program. It is allowing me to set clear goals and then being assisted with realistic ways to achieve the goals. At times we all need that supportive network to help us become our best versions of ourselves. Working with my dietican, Sharyn, is allowing me to understand how small changes can make a huge impact. She is also teaching me to understand my blood test results and what they mean and how I make alterations to improve them. Loving me start.

Kim is an absolute joy to talk to. She is friendly, kind, and incredibly supportive. She shows genuine empathy and understanding as I begin my journey toward becoming healthier, and she makes me feel encouraged and cared for. I’m truly grateful for her support—thank you, Kim!

When I researched about joining Miyagi, I was experiencing tragic family circumstances. The pressure to sign up and pay for the program was intense and it was not explained that the program involved a lot of time on line sharing experiences. There was no mentoring, which I thought should have been given and it was not. I felt that the program was just a donation to the Miyagi Program and that the only person that I had contact with was the dietician. I planned my own program and have not relied at all on Miyagi. If I had the opportunity again, I would not sign up at all.

I have found the consultants and dietician very helpful and very friendly. I felt very comfortable talking to them for the first time having not knowing each other. Whenever I needed help they have been very prompt in answering me.

I have found all the team that i have met very positive and supportive
The videos are very helpful and giving me new ways of thinking

I joined Miyagi to help me to achieve my health goals by applying certain lifestyle changes.
It appealed to me that everything is backed by science and that you are given clear objectives and the tools to achieve them.
My first experience was one of "yes" this program will help me with accountability and motivation.
I have not been disappointed. The 7-day Jumpstart is an eye opener, making one realize the bad habits one has accumulated over the years, the excuses one makes up why no previous program has worked and how to go about unlearning the bad habits and thoughts.
I like that I receive weekly calls from my Customer Success Coach, measuring my progress, giving advice on how to access the various tools, webinars etc and scheduling Zoom meetings with a Habit and Mindset Coach and a dietician after completing the Jumpstart. I look forward to the next step.

The Miyagi program uses small, achievable steps to build habits and change mindset, resulting in permanent weight loss. It's not a diet, and it works.

It's "DAY 21" and I've been overwhelmed by the program content, the structure - (eg the early platform/foundation - laying ) & , probably above all, the significant one on one support (eg via 20, 30 or 40 minute zoom sessions).
I truly feel confident of achieving both my short term and longer term goals with daily positive steps involving better choices and more consistent habits.

What made my experience great was the easy way I got to joinmiyagi and the helpful staff
The jumpstart program was a good way to start and it made me think more about why and how I need ti refer back to these notes to assist me in the journey

I’ve been on this journey a few months now, and with my health issues and impairment, the scales are slow to move but they are finally moving in the right direction.
The support you receive from the community and the knowledge you gain from your dietician and all the documentation that is available to read and videos to watch make this a great program to do. You change your habits for the better, you find new meals to try and share with the community and get great feedback in return. I’m so glad I’m on this journey to better health.

Super impressed with the program so far...early days but the support has been 100%. The jumpstart webinars have been extremely helpful with how we think and act...and how small changes make a huge difference

Off to a flying start. Stopped my daily drinking, started walking and changed my eating. Having fun trying to organise carb free night meals which is a challenge. The weight is slowly coming off but as im menopausal i understand this. Like trying new recipes and the ones on file are great. Having a dietition on call is a big bonus.

After a very rocky start Kim has been great and very helpful. I appreciate her attention and conversation.

I am just starting my 1000 step journey, taking my first step has been both emotional and inspiring.
Listening to Kate Krieg in the welcome videos was great. I felt she had immediately identified my health conditions which made me feel ‘heard’.
Thank you for the positive start to my journey!

Miyagi has been inspirational! The program sets you up with a strong foundation for success, including genuine ongoing support. I feel positive about reaching my goal - weight loss and all the associated health benefits. Lack of motivation has been my biggest stumbling block but with Miyagi I feel that I’m winning that battle.

The initial interview with Kim and the subsequent meeting with my dietician Vanessa have made the experience really encouraging and positive.
