You've put the effort in. So why do you still feel anxious taking your top off?

Before working with Ben, I felt like I was really lost in the gym, lifting weights with no real idea of what I was doing, and I was constantly doing whatever exercises I felt comfortable doing, with no real progression in sets and my body looking the same. From time to time I honestly just went to the gym and mucked around, just so I could be with my mates too. Since I started working with Ben, my workouts have been a lot more structured around me and my schedule with progression finally being made and feeling like I’m no longer lost in the gym. Ben is genuinely a top coach with a great heart for what he does; nothing is ever too much trouble for him. He is always on hand to help with any questions or issues I’ve had, with Ben always going above and beyond for anything and everything; putting his clients’ best interests above everything else. I've started to see progress being made, losing weight and getting stronger. I'm starting to feel comfortable in myself again, with other aspects of my life improving, and I'm looking forward to getting more in shape and just being generally healthier, which couldn't have been done without Ben's help. I'm down over 25kg from my heaviest weight and it's honestly starting to change my life; it just shows what consistency, accountability, support and encouragement can do.

I decided after what seemed like an eternity to stop being just quite as lazy and (as Gibbo would put it) disgusting. I grew up playing rugby and so was always in good physical condition but after some rough injuries I decided to hang the boots up and the body wasn't best pleased. He really helped with the accountability and taught me how to properly track my progress and I have lost just under 6kg in 4 weeks. Lifting weights have gone up and body mass has gone down. Looking forward to continuing on with the journey and couldn't thank Gibbo enough for the help.

For a while I was putting weight on then losing it then back to putting it on again. Before starting with Ben I was struggling with injuries throughout the season which were not helped by not being in shape. Whereas now I am down 6kg and into good habits which has changed how I go about things. Now I would be delivering better lessons because I feel better along with having much more energy. Day to day I feel much better as well as having much better self discipline.

Proof you don't have to put your whole life on hold to make it work. Jack dropped 4kg in 6 weeks while still going out and drinking 1 to 3 times a week. The system was built around his real life, not some perfect version of it.

So at the start, I was feeling really insecure and wasn't happy with the way I looked or was eating but since then, the change has been massive, not just physically, but mentally too. Having a structured plan has helped me eat more consistently and get into the gym 3 to 4 times a week, and that routine has genuinely transformed how I feel about myself, making me feel more confident and making me actually enjoy the process.

Before I started working with Ben I didn't really know what I was doing in the gym, just guessing what machines or workouts and weight etc. Not making any progress, just stuck. When I started, I began to see the benefits of tracking your sets and not having to question what I was doing, just following the plan; this made it so much easier for me to progress. The past 8 weeks have been very good, my weight has slowly increased and my overall physique is looking much better.
