Client transformation: Skinny to fit & lean

kehlda .

Khelda=shredded!

Khelda has had the opposite problem to most; with improved nutrition and training we've focused on her putting ON weight with personal training. From being too skinny to now consistently gaining lean muscle, Khelda has achieved tons in just a few months with me (& her Fit as Hel membership) = strength, better health and a toned body. She comes in for our sessions full of enthusiasm, positive energy and willingness to learn; and this combination results in nothing less than fantastic results.

So proud!!

BlogFit Project: Eniko’s blog

erika

Eniko is an inspiration to us all. She comes to my gym classes, completed the BlogFit Project and is a Fit as Hel online member.

Her fat loss journey has only lasted for a few months in total and she's gained insane results so far. Something that really stuck to my mind is her saying she feels like she's bouncing when walking now because of how 'light' she's become. That must be an amazing new experience.

Eniko does it all right - enough of exercise (but not too much), an active lifestyle (albeit a stressful job) and a healthy diet as part of her lifestyle.

Jeannie's initial 6 week transformation in 2012

+ significant improvement in her posture

Jeannie recently won a competition with the Fit as Hel online membership --> now she's taking part in the Fit as Hel BLOGfIT Project free of charge.
[BLOGfIT Project = following a personalised nutrition & training plan and blogging about the journey for 4 weeks]

She's already been an inspirational private client of mine for over a year. Biggest achievements for her have been

- Losing 2 stone
- Increased confidence
- Better flexibility
- Improved posture
- Strength
- Much more lean muscle and
- Learning how to squat (this used to be impossible)!!

Jeannie is one of the most loyal clients I've ever had. She is super competitive (you'll notice this if you ever get to work alongside her!) and is a great asset to EHPT + Fit as Hel. Jeannie has been involved with pretty much every project we have ever ran --

- 1-to-1 PT (2012 -->)
- HIIT Bootcamp (2012-2013)
- 4 week Body Transformation Challenge early 2013
- Fit as Hel online membership (2013 -->)
- BLOGfIT Project trial (running now)

Not just that, I love how active she is in the community -- always commenting and encouraging others to do better.

THANK YOU, JEANNIE. And so her journey into better **everything** continues....

Measurement results: Miss A

erika

My client was reluctant to get her body fat measurements done yesterday, after about 6-7 weeks of training with me. The scales haven't shown much difference since starting - in her own words she's been off track with eating (parties, guests, late nights...).

But the visual change in her body composition is apparent due to her tremendous effort in our training sessions - much more muscle definition, incredible strength gains and a nicely toned body.

It's very important to track progress continuously and so we proceeded with the caliper (skin fold) test.

A's results (2nd Nov/19th Dec):
- body fat %: 31.8/28.5
- fat weight (kg): 22.4/20.1
- lean weight (kg): 48.0/50.3

---> Over 10% loss in overall body fat amount
---> Body fat -2.3kg
--->Lean muscle +2.3kg

SERIOUSLY CHICK!!! Grab a kg of pure fat and you'll start to appreciate just how much you've achieved in such little time.

AND 2.3 kg of extra muscle is AMAZing - and has significantly increased the amount of calories your body burns in a day (BMR) - exactly what we want.

Add that clean eating in to your habits and you'll be lean as f*** in no time!

IMPRESSIVE RESULTS - well done A!! Let's get you the dream body back :-)

Client story: Jane lost over 25 kg!

erika

Borderline obese to 16% body fat... WOW.

Jane has been such an inspiring client to train - always willing to try hard and learn new things. Her transformation has been astounding.

I asked her to write up a testimonial in her own words. Here's what she came up with:

How much do you have to lose?

Think about it. Will you ever achieve your goal weight? Because tell you what..... You can.

The only thing stopping you is yourself.
