Client Story · Singapore<\/div>\n

John lost 24kg at 70 years old.
Turns out it’s never too late.<\/h1>\n

John Driscoll walked into ATP Singapore wanting to be ready for a photoshoot. What followed was a complete lifestyle transformation: 24kg lost, his waist down 12.5cm, and sleep that no longer needs medication.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n

Starting from scratch at 70<\/h2>\n

John Driscoll walked into ATP Singapore carrying excess weight around his midsection, low energy, poor sleep that needed medication, and limited lower-body strength and balance. He set an ambitious goal: get down to 15% body fat in time for an upcoming photoshoot.<\/p>\n

\"John<\/figure>\n

ATP transformed my life with a 24kg weight drop and a 10% body fat reduction. I would have never believed this was possible. But my trainers made it happen.John<\/small><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

No socialising, just work<\/h2>\n

What set ATP apart for John was how seriously every session was treated.<\/p>\n

It is all business the second you step in the front door. No people socialising, texting on benches or hanging out. You get a solid one hour supervised workout and are rewarded with a protein shake at the end.John<\/small><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Building strength, tracking everything<\/h2>\n

John’s programme began with foundational strength and movement work before his coach Bryan took over for more focused training on his core, upper and lower body strength. Every session, every meal and every metric was tracked and used to adjust his plan.<\/p>\n

\"John<\/figure>\n

Your daily progress on weight, training, exercise, diet, and cardio is tracked. You get massive data in real time on your body, workouts and progress.John<\/small><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

An eight-week final push<\/h2>\n

John also committed to a strict nutrition plan, cutting back on alcohol, coffee and processed food. In the final eight weeks before his photoshoot, his programme was intensified to bring him into peak condition. He went from 95.2kg and 27.4% body fat to 71.1kg and 17.1%, his waist down from 97.5cm to 85cm, with skinfold measurements down across every site.<\/p>\n

My trainers pinpointed my weaknesses and areas to improve. ATP reinforced its customised program for me, eliminating bad habits and encouraging me to reach my goals.John<\/small><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A lifestyle, not just a look<\/h2>\n

The numbers only tell part of it. John now sleeps without needing medication, has higher energy throughout the day, and has built fitness and nutrition habits that have stuck well beyond the photoshoot that started it all.<\/p>\n
