Meet Jeremy, this is his story, in his words. He wrote this testimoniel back in December 2015. He is still training with me now (February 2019), 4 days a week and has lost nearly 30kg (fluctuating a little over Christmas)
“I was fat. Now I’m not so fat, and well on my way to being not fat, if 12 kgs in as many weeks is anything to go by. I think it is. Perhaps I’m easily pleased, but I think it’s a fair measure. And I dig the idea of ‘not fat’. ‘Not fat’ sounds great.
But it’s no solo flight. Not for me, at least. I’m not sure about you, but I need motivation, and something to keep me honest.
I’ve tried the cattle class gym thing numerous times, saddling up in the same paddock as all those well-kept, well shorn, finely sculpted folk. You know the type. There when you arrive, there when you leave — do they even sleep? — never swaggering too far from their own reflection, and bellowing like a heifer in heat. The only thing larger than their guns is a phone full of selfies.
So, what to do?
I needed something — or someone — to keep me accountable and comfortable at the same time. And confident. That’s crucial as well.
Cue Lea. She does that for me (and her private gym — yay!). Thanks, Lea. You’re very welcome, Jezza. See? Lea’s good like that. She’s an honest broker.
I confess I struggled at first, putting in the hard yards with little result. It was all a bit of a head scratch. But then I happened upon a radical idea. When Lea said “try this… get your bloods looked at, check your levels, eat less of this, more of that… definitely none of that, what were you thinking?” — I took her advice. And with a wave of a not-so-magical-scientific-wand, I shifted from rotund-puffin-mode to Wicked-Witch-of-the-East-I’m-melting-mode. P.S. Despite what the story might suggest, water’s your friend.
Seems like the ‘P’ in Professional Trainer actually means something. It’s not window dressing, after all. Well, certainly not in Lea’s case.
You obviously have to put the effort in. There’s no secret sauce on offer here, but Lea will definitely help you get your particular recipe right. Sure, she trains well shorn set as well, but happily took on a shlob like me with a smile on her dial. She’s loves a challenge. 😉 Just listen, apply, and the results will come.
So, if you’re like me, and you need someone there to push you, keep you motivated, keep things fresh, and you’re not a fan of cattle class, then I can’t recommend Lea strongly enough; though I suspect she’ll fix that too — the strength bit, that is.”
How did he do it?
Wow impressed with Jeremy’s nice arms while he was doing bent over extensions
Love that shoulder and tricep definition.
Simple, he started fasting. Using the Dr Michael Mosely method of 5:2. Two days a week, he eats only 600 calories. The other days are fairly free, but still healthy. He only consumes alcohol on rare special occasions.
4 Days a week he trains with me. We do a combination of traditional weights, circuit training, super sets, push / pull days. All sorts of exciting things. I mix up the repetition protocols to always shock his body. You need to be uncomfortable to create change.
Jeremy has found a healthy weight loss and fitness regime that suits his lifestyle. This is not a diet, exercise is not a chore. This is his life. He also plays sports twice a week.
I am so very proud of Jeremy and am honored to have been a part of his transformation into a fit and slimmer version of himself.
