From 'No Time, No Structure' to Best Shape Ever: Tal's ATP Transformation at 50

At 50 years old, running a demanding shipping business with constant travel, Tal had resigned himself to accepting that his best physical years were behind him.

Office job. International travel. Lack of motivation. Lack of time. No proper structure.

Sound familiar?

Six months ago, Tal walked into ATP Personal Training with the same story we hear from countless busy professionals: “I always loved sports and fitness, but I just can’t seem to make it work with my schedule.”

Today, he’s in the best shape of his life.

The Numbers That Tell the Story

Let’s start with the facts:

  •  Weight: 65kg → 61kg
  •  Body Fat: 19% → 13%
  • Timeline: 6 months
  • Age: 50 years old
  • Occupation: Shipping executive with heavy travel demands.

 

What makes Tal’s transformation truly remarkable is that he didn’t achieve these results by sacrificing his business, abandoning his family, or spending three hours a day in the gym.

He did it while traveling constantly for his shipping business.

"Within six months of training, I think it's a remarkable journey for me."

"With a structured approach and good nutrition, good sleep at night, great routine, which keeps me going—consistency is the key."

The Problem With Being a Busy Professional

Before ATP, Tal’s situation was the textbook definition of a time-poor professional:

“Office job, lots of traveling, a lack of motivation, lack of time, and no proper structure,” he explains. “It gives you all bad habits and bad shape.”

If you’re a busy professional, you know exactly what Tal means:

→ Airport lounges and business dinners derail your nutrition

→ Hotel gyms are inconsistent (when you even have the energy)

→ Time zones and jet lag destroy your sleep routine

→ After a 12-hour work day, the last thing you want is a workout

→ You tell yourself “I’ll start on Monday” for the hundredth time

The months turn into years. The weight creeps up. The energy slides down. And deep down, you start believing that being fit just isn’t compatible with being successful in business.

Your busy schedule isn’t the problem. The lack of proper structure is.

What Changed Everything for Tal-

“At ATP with the great approach from Coach Chris and all the rest of the coaches, and great motivation being pushed in the right direction and being consistent with structured approach in the training sessions, which are great fun, everything changed,” Tal says.

Notice the key words: structured approach, great motivation, consistency, great fun.

This wasn’t about white-knuckling through another unsustainable diet. It wasn’t about punishing 6 AM bootcamp sessions that left him dreading the alarm clock.

It was about finally having a system that worked with his life, not against it.

HERE IS WHAT ACTUALLY WORKED

  1. A Structured Training Approach

No more guessing what to do in the gym. No more wondering if you’re wasting time on ineffective exercises. ATP’s structured approach means every session is optimized for results—even when Tal’s traveling and training in hotel gyms.

  1. Personalized Nutrition That Fits Real Life

Better nutrition doesn’t mean meal prep containers on every flight. It means having a plan that works in airport restaurants, client dinners, and home cooking. Tal learned how to make smart choices in any situation without feeling deprived.

  1. Expert Coaching and Accountability

Coach Chris and the ATP team didn’t just count reps—they provided the motivation, adjustments, and expertise that kept Tal on track even during his busiest weeks. When travel threatened to derail his progress, they adapted. When motivation flagged, they reignited it.

 

  1. A Routine That Actually Stuck

“Good sleep at night, great routine, which keeps me going,” Tal emphasizes. The ATP approach goes beyond just exercise—it’s about creating sustainable lifestyle habits that compound over time.

  1. Training That’s Actually Enjoyable

Here’s the game-changer: “The training sessions are great fun,” Taki reveals. When you actually enjoy your workouts, consistency becomes natural. You’re not dragging yourself to the gym—you’re looking forward to it.

The Result: Best Shape Ever at 50

“I’m in the best shape,” Tal states simply.

Not “good shape for my age.”

Not “decent considering my schedule.”

Best. Shape. Ever.

At 50. While running a shipping business. With constant travel.

And he’s not keeping this discovery to himself:

“I always loved sports and fitness, but when joining ATP, it took another route and it’s the best thing ever for me. And I would recommend strongly people at any age just join and do the fantastic routine here at ATP. The gym is great. Coaches are great. The atmosphere is fun. It’s challenging, but they keep pushing you forward, which is great for the body and the mind.”

Why This Matters If You’re Over 40

Tal’s story demolishes three myths that keep busy professionals stuck:

Myth 1: “I’m too old to get in great shape”

Taki achieved his best results at 50. Not when he was 25. Now. The structured approach and expert guidance at ATP work with your body’s current state, not against it.

Myth 2: “I’m too busy to commit to a program”

If a shipping executive with international travel can do it, you can too. The difference is having a system that adapts to your schedule rather than requiring you to completely restructure your life.

Myth 3: “Getting fit means suffering”

Taki specifically emphasizes that the sessions are “great fun” and the atmosphere is enjoyable. When transformation becomes enjoyable rather than torturous, everything changes.

The One Thing Tal Credits for His Success

When asked about his remarkable transformation, Taki keeps coming back to one word:

Consistency.

“Consistency is the key,” he says.

But here’s what most programs miss: consistency doesn’t come from willpower. It comes from having the right structure, the right support, and the right environment.

That’s what ATP provides:

→ Structure that removes guesswork

→ Coaching that keeps you motivated

→ An atmosphere that makes training enjoyable

→ A system that adapts to your life

When these elements align, consistency becomes effortless. And when you’re consistent, results become inevitable.

Your Turn: Ready to Write Your Own Transformation Story?

Tal’s parting words are simple but powerful:

“Please join ATP. Awesome.”

If you’re a busy professional who:

  • Has tried other programs that didn’t stick
  •  Travels frequently for work
  • Struggles with motivation and consistency
  • Wants to feel confident and energized again
  • Refuses to accept that your best years are behind you
 

Then Tal’s story is proof that transformation is possible—at any age, with any schedule.

The question isn’t whether you can achieve your best shape. The question is: what’s stopping you from starting?

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.

Every client’s plan of action will be unique. Your D.N.A. (Daily Routine, Nutrition and Activity) plan will be unique – this is not a generic, templated plan.

You will be assigned a dedicated coach. Your coach will take the time to understand you , your history, your goals and motivations to help you to build a customised plan and tailor the long term strategy accordingly.

Your coach will review your progress and measurements and provide clear feedback and advice, as well as act a a strategic advisor to help you make adjustments to your plan as you progress.

Everyone can achieve dramatic results and experience an amazing personal transformation. Your personal coach will tailor the starting level of intensity based around the initial consultation and assessment workout. This will ensure that you are always working towards the edge of your current capacity but not beyond it which would invite sloppy technique, loose form and potential injury. 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.
