Mo lost 23kg and sculpted an impressive physique thanks to his ATP Personal Trainer

Mo, a Manager at Google lost 23kg, recalibrated his lifestyle and overcame a family history of diabetes.

How did you first hear about ATP Personal Training?

I was referred directly by a friend – Janna, who achieved absolutely incredible results with ATP Personal Training, and is still in amazing shape now! It was a combination of Janna’s strong results and the way she described your focus on a truly sustainable approach that really made your methods stand out to me from the many other gyms.
Why did you decide that now was the right time to get started? When the circuit breaker measures were announced, I decided it was a good opportunity to get back to living a more active lifestyle. My main motivation for my desire to get fitness back as a regular part of my lifestyle was around issues of health within my family. My family has a history of diabetes and high blood pressure and I didn’t want that to be something that was going to be a part of my life if there is a chance I can avoid it. So this newer lifestyle of eating clean, healthy food and working out more regularly, will put me in a better position to try and avoid that.

"THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT I TOOK AWAY FROM THIS EXPERIENCE WAS JUST GETTING BACK IN THE SADDLE, GETTING BACK BACK ON THE HORSE AND MAKING SURE THAT YOU CAN BE MORE CONSISTENT OVER TIME."

How has the experience been so far?

It’s definitely been a roller coaster for sure. I would be lying if I said it was this perfect optimal trajectory the whole time, but I think that’s what’s beautiful about it, is there are going to be moments where you’re doing really well and you’re in a groove and then there’s going to be those moments where maybe you have a cheat day or you slip up.

But I think the most important thing that I took away from this experience and learning was just getting back in the saddle, getting back on the horse when you fall off and making sure that you can be more consistent over time and, and looking back and celebrating the milestones along the way.

What were the greatest challenges you faced moving to a new, healthier lifestyle?

The greatest challenges for me were: 1 – Monitoring my food intake, 2 – learning more about macros and 3, resisting temptation

The holistic lifestyle approach with ATP Personal Training definitely helped me to overcome these challenges. I learned so much about the macros in certain foods and was shown how to create my own meal ideas that will help me sustain my results into the future. Keeping my daily activity level high was also a good emphasis because it helped get me off the couch.

"MY FRIENDS WERE BLOWN AWAY BY MY WEIGHT LOSS! IN TOTAL I LOST 23KG WORKING WITH ATP PERSONAL TRAINING. EVERYONE WAS VERY SURPRISED AND PROUD OF MY PHYSICAL TRANSFORMATION."

What has been the greatest difference in your life since working with ATP Personal Training?

Since working with an ATP Personal Trainer I can say that there have been a number of big improvements. My self-confidence, knowledge of food, general happiness and well-being have all increased dramatically.

Nutrition has been so important, that was an area where I feel like online, there’s so many different resources. Everyone feels like they have the perfect recipe for you. And mainly my biggest confusion point was just understanding what was best for my body and my personal goals as well. And having my coach to be able to educate me, on understanding the macro breakdown for the typical foods I eat and then finding more suitable foods from a macro perspective that were still delicious and something I could enjoy. And then getting feedback along the way as we tweak, as we shift our goals, moving forward through the journey, modifying the macro balance along the way. I think that was something that was invaluable and I’m really grateful for what I was able to learn through that.

My friends were blown away by my weight loss! In total I lost 23kg working with ATP. Everyone was very surprised and proud of my physical transformation.

My Coach has been awesome, she’s been my biggest cheerleader, she’s not afraid to push back when I complain, she’s been consistent with showing up 7:00 am Monday, Wednesday, Friday for me, which is, of course appreciated working around my work schedule. And she’s always responsive on WhatsApp when I have random questions throughout the week.  Even if she doesn’t have the immediate answer off top of her head, which is very rare, she’ll do the due diligence to follow up and get back to me, which is always appreciated.

How would you compare yourself from day one to now, in terms of fitness, mindset, physique and health?

Comparing myself today to how I was on day one, I now have a much better understanding of what foods I should be eating and which ones I should have in moderation or even not at all!  I am also always thinking about staying active because now I fully understand how that impacts my happiness and well-being.

Moving forwards, I plan to implement dieting periods occasionally to ensure I can maintain a healthy body fat level and good physical appearance, but fundamentally my new lifestyle means that my new ‘normal’ is a big improvement from what it used to be.

Try these 4 tips that helped me when I was learning how to upgrade my lifestyle to a healthier one:

  1. Learn from an expert

    Open your mind to learning about new things from experts and ask plenty of questions to understand the process more and get the full experience. As a result of this process with ATP Personal Training I am more cognizant of what I need to do around food and fitness to achieve what I want to achieve. I have the roadmap now, I just need to execute!

  2. Trust the experts

    Whilst it is important to understand the process, ultimately you have to place your trust in the experts. I was surprised by how long it took to change both physically and mentally – but the length of time it takes doesn’t matter in the end; putting in  months of effort to change 28 years of unhealthy eating was 100% worth it!

  3. Take photos to track changes

    Take progress photos and/or find someone/something who can help you stay accountable or on track in your low moments.

    Personally, I thought I’d see different physical differences with respect to certain weight/body fat distribution results. My coach helping me by taking progress photos and helping me stay on track really made all the difference.
  4. Find a balance that works for you

    I’ve definitely been able to find a good balance between my dieting season and the times when I just want to concentrate on enjoying life. Finding your own balance that allows you to be healthy, while at the same time maintaining good mental health and happiness is most important in staying sustainably healthy.

    Moving forwards, I plan to implement dieting periods occasionally to ensure I can maintain a healthy body fat level and good physical appearance, but fundamentally my new lifestyle means that my new ‘normal’ is a big improvement from what it used to be.

If there’s one thing you would recommend to someone about to start their fitness journey, what would it be?

Just start! Getting started is by far the hardest part. Get to the starting line and ATP will help you take the first step. Learn to trust the process and make sure you celebrate all the small wins along the way. Be kind to yourself when you make mistakes with your diet and make sure you get back on the horse straight away.

An absolute game-changer! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Having worked with several personal trainers in the past, I can confidently say that working with Ken Fong at ATP has been an amazing experience and the best investment I’ve made for my health. Thanks to his professional guidance and expertise, I lost 5kg in just 3 months - after my 2nd pregnancy, I didn’t imagine it was possible! Now I feel incredibly strong, energized, and healthy. 🤩 my left knee pain is also completely gone by week 4! What truly sets Ken apart is his coaching style. He was never harsh or aggressive, and he never made me feel guilty. Instead, he was always patient and deeply respectful. Rather than just pushing for a quick number on the scale, he focused on a tremendous lifestyle change and helped me completely transform my daily habits for the long run. If you want a top-tier trainer who motivates with kindness and expertise, look no further than Ken at ATP. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I’ve been training with Jasper for a few months now and I’m really happy with the progress we’ve made. Before this, I had never really stepped into a gym or done any proper strength training, so I started with very little idea of what I was doing. I can definitely see the difference now - I feel much stronger and can see more definition in my physique. More than that, having regular sessions has kept me accountable and made me more conscious of what I’m doing outside the gym too, from my food choices to staying consistent with training. I’ve definitely put in the effort myself, but having that structure and accountability has made it much easier to stay on track. I also really appreciate how Jasper adapted my programme when I injured my wrist, so I could continue training safely instead of having to stop completely. It’s been really nice seeing what my body is capable of and watching the progress add up over time. Still a work in progress, but I’m excited to keep getting stronger!

​8 weeks in with John David and and counting - he’s an energetic, encouraging trainer who gives just the right amount of push for my fitness and diet goals without overwhelming me. Ruth and Raf at the desk are always friendly and welcoming, and I love the cute, customized art on my to-go protein shakes! Such a heartwarming touch by the hidden artists—it's the thoughtful little details like that which set them apart!

Training at ATP Fitness with Arya has been an incredible experience. She is approachable, encouraging, and makes even the most challenging sessions genuinely fun. Beyond the workouts, I’ve learned so much about sustainable nutrition—she was always just a message away whenever I needed guidance on dining out, keeping me consistent and accountable without ever feeling overwhelmed. For the first time, I’ve managed to lose weight consistently without resorting to crash diets or unsustainable restrictions. The entire ATP team is welcoming and supportive; it really feels like a family. Huge thank you to Arya and the ATP team for guiding me through this journey!

I’ve had a great experience training with Mike and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to join ATP. I started out as a complete beginner, and he’s really helped me become much more comfortable and confident in the gym. With his help, I managed to reduce my body fat from around 32% to 22% and lose almost 10kg in just three months, which is a result I’m extremely happy with. Throughout the process, he has always made sure that my form is correct and that I understand how to perform each exercise properly. The progression in weights has also been very methodical and intentional, so I’ve always felt like I’m improving at the right pace rather than being pushed too quickly. What makes Mike stand out is how enjoyable he makes every session. He always brings great energy and is genuinely fun to train with — sometimes to the point where I almost forget how tough the workout actually is. He’s also very attentive and adapts each session depending on how I’m feeling. He regularly checks in on my energy levels, adjusts the routine when I’m having a lower-energy day, and knows when to push me harder when I’m feeling stronger. He’s very motivating while still making sure the training feels manageable and sustainable. Mike has also been very flexible with scheduling, which has made it much easier for me to stay consistent. Overall, he’s knowledgeable, motivating, patient and great to train with. I’ve made far more progress than I expected in a relatively short period of time, and I’d definitely recommend him, particularly to anyone who might be new to the gym.

Coach Danny is very attentive and genuinely cares about his clients. He encouraged me when I was losing faith and always trained me with a plan tailored to my health, fitness level, and capabilities. With his guidance, I achieved my initial goal and even received compliments from my friends, which gave me the confidence and motivation to continue my fitness journey with him. I’ve decided to keep training with Coach Danny and hope to take my body fat percentage to the next level with his support!

I signed up with ATP Personal Training with the goal of hitting my target within 6 months, and with Danial’s training I managed to achieve it in just 3. I honestly wasn’t sure I could get there when I first started, so achieving it in half the time I expected has been incredibly rewarding. I’ve genuinely never felt stronger or better in my life. Danial has been amazing to train with. He keeps me motivated, somehow makes even the toughest sessions fun, and always pushes me just enough to get the most out of every workout. What I appreciate most is that the programme never feels generic. He adjusts everything specifically to what I want to achieve and what my body needs, so every session feels purposeful and effective. He’s also helped me get my nutrition back on track after years of not eating properly, which has made such a difference to how I feel overall. He’s genuinely funny and easy to get along with too, which makes a huge difference when you’re seeing your trainer multiple times a week! I actually look forward to training, even when I know he’s about to put me through something brutal 😂 Couldn’t recommend Danial and ATP enough. The results have exceeded what I expected, and more importantly, I feel stronger, healthier and more confident than I have in years! I’m honestly so happy with how far I’ve come. I never thought I’d achieve my goal this quickly, and I’m the fittest and most toned I’ve felt in years. Couldn’t recommend Danial and ATP enough!

Being from Greece, I am very proud to be Danial’s (Danny’s) first Greek client and - definitely the most talkative one! I often tell him that he is the “trouble of my life” because he constantly pushes me beyond what I ever believed I could do.!! I joined ATP to lose weight and address shoulder discomfort. In threee months - despite spending three weeks travelling- I have lost 10kg, overcome my shoulder issue, and become leaner and stronger.. I strongly believe that my results are a shared achievement. I do the work, follow the plan and genuinely look forward to my sessions, while Danny provides the expertise, structure and corrections that have helped me make this progress. He listens, explains calmly, and knows exactly how to make me work harder and challenging me to keep progressing without compromising proper technique. His coaching never feels one size fits all as he understands what works for me and adapts his approach accordingly. Most importantly, his belief in what I am capable of, has helped me become more confident in myself. ATP provides a highly professional, supportive environment with genuinely friendly staff and having the right coach makes all the difference. I honestly feel incredible lucky to have Danny as my coach. He is humble, patient, genuine and funny and his own discipline and commitment have inspired me to become more consistent too. As he always tells me, “Trust the process” - something I have definitely learned to appreciate along the way. So yes, he may be the “trouble of my life” 🤣but he is also an exceptional coach and someone I trully respect. I hope that, as his Greek client, I have made his coaching journey equally memorable. I am excited to continue training with him towards my next goals.!

I joined ATP weighing 80 kg with approximately 32% body fat. Today, I weigh around 59 kg, and my body fat has dropped to 18.6%. Losing over 20 kg and reducing my body fat by 13.4 percentage points is an achievement I am incredibly proud of. A special thank you to my coach, KumaraVel, who has been much more than a personal trainer throughout this journey. He created a practical training and nutrition plan that suited my lifestyle, monitored my progress closely, and consistently checked on my meals, weight, recovery and overall well-being. This journey had many ups and downs, but KumaraVel always knew when to push me, encourage me or simply listen and reassure me. Even when I doubted myself, he remained patient and continued to believe in me. His humour and positive personality also made the most challenging days much more enjoyable. My transformation is not only about the numbers. With his guidance, I have become healthier, stronger, more disciplined and much more confident in myself. I am truly grateful to KumaraVel and ATP for supporting me throughout this life-changing journey. I would highly recommend ATP, especially Coach KumaraVel, to anyone looking for a committed, caring and motivating coach who genuinely wants to see you succeed.

I’ve been training with Michael since March 2026, and he is a fantastic trainer. Before joining ATP I had little experience with both the wide range of gym equipment and following a diet plan, so I felt a bit apprehensive about joining a personal training gym where there is nowhere to hide! But Michael is both patient and knowledgeable. He explains each exercise thoroughly to me and is very encouraging. I also really appreciate his realistic approach to the meal plan. I don't feel micromanaged, and working with him on my nutrition plan has enabled to lose weight and subsequently build muscle while still enjoying food. I have already achieved more than I thought I could with Michael: I have lost nearly 14kg since starting with ATP in January, and I am very close to being able to do unassisted pull-ups (this has been a long-term goal for me). I joined ATP because I wanted a lifestyle change, and not a quick (unsustainable) fix. I feel I am well on my way to achieving a sustainable lifestyle so I look forward to continuing my fitness journey under Michael's guidance! 💪😁

I’ve been training at ATP for about 1.5 months now, and it’s been an amazing experience. My trainer, David, has been great in helping me improve my technique and form, while also teaching me how to eat properly to achieve my goals. I’m already seeing great progress and getting closer to my body goal. Definitely recommend ATP!

It is my first time doing PT and Im really glad I had David to help me ease into the process. I considered doing PT after getting too overwhelmed with the information online. My goal was to build muscle and get lean and David has been a big help in helping me build a stronger version of myself. He also helped me adjust my meal plans when necessary and really pushed me towards a healthier lifestyle. Really grateful to him for his guidance

I’ve been training with David at ATP for a few months now and it’s been a total shift in how my overall life and health feel. Desk job work really took a toll on my body - my legs and hips especially - and I’d lost a lot of strength that I spent my 20s building. Working with David to restructure my diet, and have a workout routine that has been building a solid foundation for the rest of my adult life has been so rewarding. It feels great to be in an environment where there’s someone there to push you every workout, explain the mechanics and reasoning behind each exercise, and (maybe most importantly) keep you accountable to the healthy changes you’re making across your whole life. I couldn’t recommend ATP Fitness and PT David enough to someone looking to build their life up.
