My goal was to lose body fat and have some muscle definition. I really wanted to see abs before I turned 30 because I was feeling like my body was looking aged rather than fit and healthy. I fell away from fitness about 5 or 6 years ago and only 4 months ago I started attending some gym classes. This only lasted 1 month. I gave up on this because the classes weren’t specific to me and my goals. It was also not always possible to attend classes given their strict timetable.
NERVOUS AND DEMOTIVATED
My problem was I was too nervous to go to the gym or even step foot in the free weights area. I didn’t have a training plan in place so any day I woke up and thought “I could go to the gym today”, I was quickly demotivated by my own second thoughts of “and do what?”.
The result was I sat about doing nothing. It was a constant fight with my mind causing me to hate myself a bit more everyday. Until I started working with Scott.
He provided me with an easy-to-follow training plan and having this right there in front of me gave me the clarity on what I was doing and quickly built my confidence up using weights again. I also took weekly sessions with Scott to make sure my workout intensity and technique was where it needed to be. This wasn’t necessary when doing the online plan but I always walked away feeling more motivated and more confident in lifting heavier weights when in the gym on my own. Every time I came in I was given advice or new fitness knowledge which was a bonus.
ALWAYS STRUGGLED WITH DIET
I’ve also struggled with my diet as I was vegetarian since primary school. I then had an on/off phase for a few years but since turning vegetarian again 4 years ago (pretty much a vegan diet as I don’t like most dairy products anyway) I thought this would be annoying or too much hassle for someone else to try and help me with but Scott was always understanding and respectful of my diet. He helped so much with this and I am now more conscious of portion sizes and what my body actually needs.
STRONGER, HEALTHIER, MOTIVATED, CONFIDENT
I’m now stronger, fitter, healthier, more motivated and confident. I feel like a new person (or my old self) and my determination is back. I’ve had so many compliments from people about how well I’m looking and how much more I’m smiling and happier. I don’t look in the mirror and hate what I see and call myself fat. I lost 11lbs with Scott in 8 weeks and after only a couple of weeks I started to see muscle definition. The pictures speak for themselves!
EVERY STEP OF THE WAY 
I’ve always been hesitant about contacting a personal trainer. It’s normal I imagine but what a benefit it brings! I regret not doing it sooner. If you’re ever wondering where to start in the gym or where you’re going wrong Scott will put it right for you. He’s full of knowledge, very professional and also accommodating and understanding of everyone’s needs. He’s easy to reach and quick at replying if you have any queries or ever need support whilst on your plan. He’s there every step of the way.
