Client Story · Singapore<\/div>\n

His clothes stopped fitting.
22 weeks later, Michael had his college body back.<\/h1>\n

A lawyer and father of two, Michael was struggling to keep up with his kids and squeezing into his own clothes. In 22 weeks of ATP coaching, he got his weight back to his college days, with a smaller waist and more strength than he started with.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n

Kids, tight clothes and a wake-up call<\/h2>\n

Michael, a lawyer and father of two, spent 22 weeks working with ATP to turn his health around. Before he started, keeping up with his own kids and fitting into his own wardrobe had both become a struggle, and he wasn’t feeling like himself.<\/p>\n

I was looking for a personal trainer for two main reasons: first, as my kids were getting older, it was getting harder and harder to do things like carrying them (especially upstairs), run around with them, and push them on the bicycle. Secondly, my clothes were getting tighter and I just wasn’t feeling like myself. I wanted to lose around 10kg and reduce the fat on my belly to be healthy again.Michael<\/small><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A coach who built the plan around him<\/h2>\n

Michael’s coach worked through nutrition, training and everyday habits with him, adjusting his workouts constantly rather than running him through a generic programme.<\/p>\n

My coach shares her wealth of knowledge and guides me in nutrition, workouts, and cultivating healthy lifestyle habits. She helps me customize workouts to constantly challenge my body.Michael<\/small><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Michael<\/figure>\n

Back to his college weight, and stronger<\/h2>\n

By the end of the 22 weeks, Michael’s weight was back to where it had been in his college days, but with a smaller waist and higher strength levels than before. He’d visibly gained muscle while losing all the weight he’d originally set out to lose.<\/p>\n

I am in much better shape in all aspects. My weight is basically back to college days but my waist size is smaller and strength levels, higher.Michael<\/small><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The changes went beyond the mirror. A work colleague once told him he had good posture, which made him laugh, his posture used to be terrible. Now he sits and stands straighter without thinking about it, and his energy and mood are better throughout the day.<\/p>\n

New habits, not a diet<\/h2>\n

Michael doesn’t call it a diet. Most days he’s eating more than he used to, just different food, with far more attention to the mix of meals across the day. Once he got past the initial adjustment, cravings for sweets and snacks stopped having any pull on him at all.<\/p>\n

After seeing and more importantly, feeling the results, continuing was, and is an easy decision.Michael<\/small><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

His advice to anyone starting out is simple: the first couple of weeks are the hardest, with cravings and soreness, but results start to show by week three or four, and after that it becomes second nature. Trust the process and your coach.<\/p>\n
