A 17-Week Journey to 12% Body Fat Reduction While Maintaining Social Life

In the bustling city of Singapore, where business dinners and social drinking are practically cultural norms, achieving significant body transformation can seem nearly impossible. Yet, that’s exactly what Nikhil accomplished under the guidance of Harrison, a personal trainer at ATP Singapore. This remarkable journey not only resulted in substantial fat loss but also improved strength, mobility, and overall fitness—all while maintaining a sustainable approach to Nikhil’s social commitments.

The Challenge: Transformation Despite Real-Life Constraints

When Nikhil first discovered ATP through social media  he had a clear but challenging goal: “get shredded sustainably” while still enjoying his social life. He also aimed to master gymnastic strength skills like muscle-ups, handstands, and improve his overall mobility.

The obstacles were significant:

  • Frequent client dinners requiring food and alcohol consumption
  • Regular social drinking habits
  • Limited understanding of nutrition and caloric intake
  • Mobility issues affecting training performance

The ATP Approach: Strategic Nutrition and Personalized Training

ATP Coach Harrison’s methodology centered on two core principles: strategic calorie management and addressing individual fitness weaknesses.

The Results: Transformation Beyond Aesthetic Changes

In just 17 weeks, Nikhil achieved remarkable results:

  • 11.3kg total weight loss (82.3kg → 71kg)
  • 12% body fat reduction (20.7% → 8.7%)
  • Preserved lean muscle mass despite significant fat loss
  • Increased pull-up capacity from 7 to 10 consecutive reps
  • Improved 5k running time by approximately 1 minute
  • Significantly enhanced mobility especially in squatting patterns

“In just 6 weeks, I lost 6 kilos and 7% body fat, the weight loss and increased mobility are my greatest achievements so far.”

Lifestyle Transformation: Beyond Physical Changes

Perhaps most impressive is how the program created sustainable lifestyle changes:

“I was drinking socially almost every night, but tracking helped me change my habits. Now, I limit myself to a couple of glasses of wine or whisky a few times a week.”

This reduction in alcohol consumption has had compounding benefits for Nikhil’s health, recovery, and overall well-being.

The Ripple Effect: Inspiring Others

Nikhil’s transformation has extended beyond his personal journey:

“Inspired by my progress, I recommend ATP to friends and family. My brother-in-law in the US even signed up with a personal trainer.”

Looking Forward: New Goals on the Horizon

With his initial transformation goals achieved, Nikhil has set ambitious new targets:

  • Mastering muscle-ups and handstands
  • Performing front-levers
  • Running a vertical kilometer in under 1 hour
  • Achieving a sub-18-minute 5k
  • Continuing to improve mobility toward full splits

“Some of these goals will take years, but I’m committed,” Nikhil states.

The ATP Personal Training Difference

What sets ATP Singapore apart is the personalized approach to both training and nutrition. Harrison understood Nikhil’s type-A personality and provided the appropriate coaching style—combining accountability with flexibility.

“Harrison’s approach to nutrition was crucial,” Nikhil explains. “Although challenging initially, especially with work travel, I’ve maintained a sustainable weekly average.”

FAQ

  1. Other commercial gyms are focussed on session numbers and hitting sales targets and personal training is an afterthought product layered onto their gym membership model. Personal Training gyms are either exlcusively focussed on short term, unsustainable transformations or waste their clients time and energy with a rent a friend service.
  2. We do things a little differently. Our gyms are exclusive personal training facilities; all of our coaches work 1 on 1 with their clients. This allows for a remarkably efficient training experience, your entire training session will be tailored to maximise results based around your specific needs.
  3. Unlike other gyms we offer support, feedback and coaching outside of the gym.
  4. Other gyms only focus on training, and sometimes nutrition. We offer a complete service including lifestyle, diet and your non-gym activity.
  5. Other gyms treat their clients like the product, driving them towards photos shoots in a set time period. We place your needs above the needs of our marketing department. We care deeply about the sustainability of the changes that you make.

Some of our most dramatic transformations have come from clients who had little to no experience with training and nutrition prior to starting with ATP Personal Training. We’re there alongside you for the entire process and will ensure that you’re properly able to execute on our advice.

Our coaches will ensure that you are ramped up towards exercising intensely over the course of your first week or weeks with us. We take pride in applying the appropriate dose of exercise to match our clients’ existing capacity, there is no benefit to training far beyond your current capacity. In fact, this type of approach will actually be less efficient, place an enormous recovery cost on the body and potentially compromise your structural integrity.

We track bodyweight, body fat percentage and girth measurements to give us a wide array of progress markers.

For most clients as they start the transformation process Weight loss on the scale is a good indicator of progress and you can expect to lose between 0.5kg to 1.0 kg each week. During the early stages this number can be even higher as the body responds to the new program and becomes rapidly less inflamed.
