Before Chai joined ATP personal Training, she exercised regularly but, like many of us, she didn\u2019t really know what she was training for.\u00a0 This meant that she was putting in a lot of hours exercising without seeing any changes.\u00a0<\/p>

Over the course of the last 9 months, despite a global pandemic and the challenges that come with it, Chai was able to focus her intentions and, under the guidance of her ATP Coach she has achieved some tremendous results.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What were your goals when you first joined ATP Personal training and have you reached those goals?<\/b><\/h2>

My goals have never been aesthetic-related. I never wanted to look a particular way. My goals were more strength-based; I wanted to be able to do a push-up, I wanted to be able to do a pull-up. If I was even unlucky enough to find myself hanging off the side of a building, I wanted to be in a position where I could pull myself back up!<\/p>

I can happily say that I can do push-ups now. I’m very close to being able to do a pull-up and I’m so excited for the new challenges that I’m going to set for myself too.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Tell us about the first time you met your ATP Personal Training Coach; what was your first impression?<\/b><\/h2>

The first time I met my coach I found her to be extremely knowledgeable about weight loss and about lifting.\u00a0 I have had a lot of issues with a back injury and initially I was very concerned that lifting weights would do more damage to my back.\u00a0 But I quickly learned that she will always prioritize my health over everything else and she was able to customize exercises for me, even after I had surgery during the course of my transformation.<\/b><\/p>

I have realized that when you find a Coach that really knows what they are doing, you should listen to their recommendations and do what they suggest. Her guidance got me back on track after surgery a lot faster than I had anticipated and my faith in her has paid off, because I am much stronger now.\u00a0 Even despite my back injury, I can do exercises that I was never able to do before.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What has been your proudest achievement since joining ATP Personal Training?<\/b><\/h2>\n

When I first started training at ATP Personal Training, I was barely able to manage 40 or 45kg on the leg press.  Now, I can leg press my husband!  He weighs around 90 to 100kg, so more than double what I could do in the beginning.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How has your lifestyle changed in the last 9 months?<\/b><\/h2><\/div><\/div>

My lifestyle has changed so much!\u00a0 It\u2019s bizarre when you think about it because I used to work out all the time before ATP.\u00a0 But I realise now I was working out without any intention or real thought.\u00a0 I\u2019d never actively set myself any sort of challenges or a goal and, when I started training at ATP I realised I wanted to do better for myself and for my body.<\/p>

These days I consciously prioritize exercise, which I wasn’t really doing before.\u00a0 I set up a daily routine (which has become a habit) that works for me, which includes exercise as a daily part of my life.\u00a0 As well as being very good for me physically, this has actually been crucial for my mental health during the pandemic too.\u00a0 I find that going for a run and sweating it out gives me so much energy and peace of mind, and lifting weights makes me feel powerful, which is a great feeling.<\/p>

One of the biggest shifts for me is that I have taken more of an interest in what I am eating.\u00a0 I\u2019m vegetarian and never even really thought about protein before.\u00a0 ATP Personal Training gave me insight into the importance of protein and now I am mindful of making sure I eat protein with every meal, whether it\u2019s in the form of eggs, tofu or tempeh, or even incorporating the occasional protein shake to help me meet my protein requirements.<\/p>

All of these changes have really improved both my body and mind.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How confident are you that you can sustain the positive changes that you have made under your Coach\u2019s guidance?<\/b><\/h2>

Very confident.\u00a0 When I first met my ATP Coach I made it very clear to her that any changes we made had to be sustainable for me for a very long time.\u00a0 And, so far at least, they have been!\u00a0 In terms of my diet for example, I am very confident that I can continue in this way indefinitely.\u00a0 I am actually a terrible cook and spend as little time in the kitchen as possible, but I now have a set of easy meals that I can prepare for the week ahead.\u00a0 It takes me hardly any time to plan and prepare my meals for the week, and it\u2019s a habit that I am very glad I have got into thanks to ATP.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What does your transformation mean to you?<\/b><\/h2>

I have never really thought of my transformation as a transformation.\u00a0 For me, it has simply been lots of small changes that have added up over time to create a big change, but I haven’t really noticed it day to day.<\/p>

I think my transformation is more evident to people around me, and my family and friends who have seen the effort that I put in.\u00a0 They see the meal choices that I make when we go out, which makes them feel inspired and motivated to do better themselves.\u00a0 I think that\u2019s amazing, because even though I probably don\u2019t give myself enough credit for going on this journey, the people in my life have given me so much encouragement, and I have seen this process inspire them too.\u00a0 It seems to have created a little bit of a snowball effect which really means something to me.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t
