Jason was tired of making excuses and decided to commit to taking control of his health and fitness and becoming a role model for his kids<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

“I’m Jason and I’m a business consultant,\u00a0 I’ve tried many times doing it on my own, but I’ve always failed due to various excuses, like travelling. You know, lots of work.<\/p>

After two decades of procrastination I finally gritted my teeth and forced myself to sign up at a gym – that’s when I found ATP, and what a life-changing decision it has been.”<\/p>\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

How soon did you see results?<\/h3>

I saw results almost immediately. Only 6 weeks into the program, I could already wear my branded under-sized t-shirt that I bought 20 years ago and aspired to but have never worn + actually looked good in it. I was doing multiple sets of pull-ups with 5-10kg weights strapped to me having only been able to struggle through 3 pullups when I had my first training session. I hit a weight that I hadn’t been since 2010!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What have you achieved so far?<\/h3>

I Lost about 16 kilos and half of my body fat. I feel my body is sleek, slim, fit, sculpted, and I look at least 20 years younger than my actual age. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How did your coach\u00a0 assist you on your journey?<\/h3>

Thanks to Chris Kwok, my amazing personal trainer, for putting me through my paces and keeping me on track along my ongoing total body transformation journey – physical training, diet, and mental support.<\/span><\/p>

Training is tough but always fun with the banter and the constructive bickering about using lighter weights, doing less reps, and the “no-count reps” done in bad form (I mostly end up on the losing end, so some days I just do more and talk less). There is also the occasional side banter with other trainers and reception staff that make ATP a great place to have a workout session.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Coach’s Eye<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We spoke to Jason’s coach Chris about how he approached the process.\n<\/p>

\n“During the initial consultation it was clear\u00a0 that Jason had tried a lot of things in the past without seeing much reward. He had tried extreme fasting protocols, online coaching and he even had a home gym but he was lacking the structure and accountability that he required to make progress.”\n<\/p>

\n“He arrived with a rotator cuff injury, high cholesterol and gout and a challenging business travel schedule.”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Goal Setting<\/strong><\/h3>

We were very clear about the goal from the outset.<\/p>

Jason wanted to lose 14kg in 12 weeks.<\/p>

We broke this goal down into three phases, to make it more manageable and to give a clear short term focus.<\/p>
