The goal, set on day one
Between a stressful finance career and family life, Alex had let fitness slide. In his first session he and his coach set clear, measurable targets, and then went after them.
I remember the first session, I sat down with my coach and we said, what are we going to do? I said, we’ll get the bodyweight from 83 down to 75, and the body fat from 23 to 15. But we got there three weeks before the actual end date.Alex
Faster than he expected
The numbers moved quickly, and further than the plan. His weight came down from 82.5kg to 74.5kg, his body fat dropped from 23.7% to 13.7%, and his waist fell by 15cm.
- Weight: 82.5kg → 74.5kg, 8kg lost
- Body fat: 23.7% → 13.7%
- Waist: 90cm → 75cm
Surprising, I got results that fast. We’re down to 13% body fat. I never thought I would get down there, not at this age anyway.Alex
Holistic and personalized
What made the difference, in his words, was an approach built around his life rather than a generic plan.
It’s been very holistic, very personalized, very tailored. That actually made it easier than I thought it would be. A lot of it came down to education.Alex
A stepping stone
Alex brought his family to his final shoot, wanting them to share the moment and to set an example for his son.
I brought my family in today because I wanted them to share the experience. Having been able to do this, you ask yourself, what else can you achieve?Alex
