Watching a friend go first
Kristian had never really thought his ideal physique was attainable until he watched a friend go through his own dramatic transformation with ATP. What appealed to him was the model of a dedicated coach with an effective, personalised plan and a clear focus on results, rather than a generic programme. With some downtime between jobs, he decided to spend it getting healthier and stronger instead of letting the time drift by.
You still need to do the work on the non exercise side, but the ATP model is that they support you through your daily challenges, stress, food and even nights out.Kristian
Nutrition without a chef’s touch
Nutrition was the hardest part for Kristian, mainly because he hates cooking. He worked out a plan that matched his lifestyle to his actual culinary ability and enthusiasm, and learned that regardless of where you start, you can make real improvements through nutrition without it ever feeling bland or unappetising.
I now make healthy meals the default choice, and restrict cheat meals to under 3 per week. This allows me sustainable balance, I feel like I’m making great progress without making too many sacrifices.Kristian
Training becomes non-negotiable
Kristian’s wife noticed the biggest change wasn’t in the gym but in his diary: training moved from something he squeezed in around everything else to the first thing he planned his day around. Before, it was always the first thing to get dropped when life got busy. He feels better when he trains, is more productive, and performs better at work as a result.
I am leaner with visible ab lines (most days), and I’m much more muscular around the torso.Kristian
Ten weeks, and a partner in the process
Kristian sculpted his body in just 10 weeks: leaner, more muscular through the torso and noticeably fitter and stronger than when he started. Motivation was the hardest thing to sustain on his own, and having a coach and an accountability partner made the real difference, especially in the first month, before the new systems became habit rather than something to think about.
I did not believe that this level of transformation was possible in just 10 weeks, but I have also never put in the consistent effort through the same sustained period. Having my coach work with me throughout the process as a partner in transformation has been invaluable. I couldn’t have done it without his support and guidance.Kristian
By the end, Kristian had turned the gym from an occasional habit into the first thing that goes in his diary every week.
