The turning point
George is 38 and works in insurance, a job that keeps him constantly travelling for client dinners and socialising. Approaching 40, he felt he was at a turning point in his life. It was on a business trip, after registering the heaviest weight he’d ever been, that he decided enough was enough. He researched his options, found ATP’s excellent reviews, spoke to others about their experience, and felt confident enough to start the journey.
No excuses
George had assumed his hectic schedule made a transformation impossible: the travel, the client dinners, the eating and drinking. He quickly learned that with real commitment, all of it could be worked around, and that a busy calendar was never really the obstacle he thought it was.
I thought my schedule was never going to allow me to do this because of the travel, the client dinners, the eating and drinking. But it’s rubbish. If you are committed, you can work around all that.George
Training on the road
Travel remained part of the job throughout, so his coach built the programme to travel with him, adapting sessions for hotel gyms wherever he landed.
My coach ran the sessions like clockwork, pushed me when needed and went above and beyond. He tailored workouts for hotel gyms so I never missed a session (and had no excuses!).George
The result
Before starting, George reached 82 kilograms, a weight he had never hit before. Today he is down to 68.8 kilograms, with a significant boost in personal confidence.
The change at work has been just as noticeable. George describes feeling like a well-oiled machine, more focused and energised, with sharper concentration and productivity. He calls investing in himself one of the most impactful decisions he’s made, crediting the support and structure of the programme for how smoothly everything has flowed.
Staying the course
Looking back on the journey, George’s advice to others is simple: persevere through the challenges, trust the process, and stay committed to your goals. The rewards, he says, are worth it.
5 star all round experience and delighted with the end result, not just feeling physically healthier but being mentally sharper too.George
