Transformers - part 5

For someone who had never been to the gym before and used to spend most of his time working in front of the computer screen, Anthony had one very important ingredient for success; his work ethic! He would literally give me 150% effort in every single training session. There were times when I almost had to kick him out of the studio because he was so "hungry" for achieving his goal, that he would ask for more work,even though he could hardly move.

Anthony is a typical example of someone who just needed some help and guidance around nutrition, training and lifestyle (I know what you're saying right now: "Don't all your clients need that"?). The answer is "yes" but he hardly needed any motivation, he constantly wanted to test himself, and he wanted to prove that his promise to me in our initial consultation was worth all the time and money!

He loved his booze and social events, takeaways and everything that goes with this sort of lifestyle. No structure, random meal times, in fact not eating was his problem. Working crazy hours everyday, forgetting about food and hydration and binging massively in the evenings. To be honest, he wasn't any different to most of my transformation clients or most of the people out there. Unfortunately this is the typical lifestyle people have these days; no life and work balance, tremendous pressure and stress at work, no time to do anything and the way to counter attack all the above seems to work through "de-stressing" in the pub after work.

Fortunately, Anthony fell in love with his new lifestyle and became addicted to lifting weights. I am very proud of this man for what he achieved and how he turned his life around.
