CLIENT stories

Ted is a successful tech entrepreneur in his 50's - so he spends long hours working on a computer. He's also got a busy home life looking after children, grand children and is even building a house. 

He's always played competitive sport, especially rugby & martial arts, and is now a 3rd dan in Aikido. 

But, over years of building up his company and being a busy dad he'd gradually put on significant weight, especially around his torso. 

👎🏻 He was feeling generally unhealthy, with systemic inflammation and joint pain, and was worried about the long-term consequences of being overweight, especially as diabetes and heart disease run in the family. 

👎🏻 He thought he was doing everything he could to lose weight - training at the gym, doing high intensity intervals and trying a variety of diets - but nothing worked long-term and his weight was increasing. 

He needed help from an expert so he signed up for THE EDGE.

Pete is a high achiever with a distinguished career. But with that comes a lot of pressure and stress.

He used to be active and athletic, but in recent years he'd taken his foot off the gas and it affected all aspects of his life.

👎🏻 He'd put on a fair bit of weight mainly round the gut (he didn't realise how much until a recent visit to the doctor)

👎🏻 He felt seriously unfit & unhealthy

👎🏻 He was constantly fatigued

👎🏻 He was getting worried about the long term consequences 

After his first daughter was born, he promised himself that he would get fit again. 

He tried several things, but found them all inefficient. 

When he couldn't make them  fit with his busy lifestyle, he would give up. 

He became frustrated  with himself and hesitant about trying anything new. 

Then, with another baby on the way - he  decided he needed to make a change do it properly. 

👍🏻 He needed to get his energy back

👍🏻 To improve his body composition

👍🏻 To move better, improve his posture and feel stronger

👍🏻 To set a better example as a parent

👍🏻 To set a better standard at work

👍🏻 And to feel confident about hitting the slopes with his mates

Long story short, he nailed all these things and more - in just 90 days

But  don't just take my word for it. 

It's much better in his own words.... so please take a minute to watch his video below...

Simon is smashing life as a high-flying executive in a FTSE 250 company, a dedicated husband and father of 2. 

He used to play a lot of sport and even studied Sports Science at university. 

But, over the years his health & fitness has gone downhill due to a number of factors...

👎🏻 Working long hours in a high pressure environment - little time to himself

👎🏻 Having to spend much of the day sitting & being inactive

👎🏻 Spending much of his life away from home & much time commuting to London

👎🏻 Struggling to exercise due to arthritic knees...

👎🏻 ...And pain from an old rugby injury (collar bone dislocation) 

As a result, he'd been steadily gaining weight around the chest & waist, he was lacking energy and simply not performing at his best. 

On our first call he said...

"I'm working hard to make money... but I don't have the time or the energy to spend it with the family"

He needed to find a sustainable solution that would allow him to regain his physique, his fitness and his energy, perform at his best as a business leader and a father and still have a fun & sociable life.  

His specific goals were to...

👍🏻 Lose a stone in weight and 10 cm excess fat from the abs & waist

👍🏻 Regain his energy

👍🏻 Rebuild his  strength & regain his fitness

👍🏻 Improve his posture, movement quality & joint health in order to feel less pain

👍🏻 Create a sustainable healthy lifestyle that would improve his long-term quality of life, allow him to be active and play sport with the kids

As you can see from the results below, he nailed all of this and more.

And, as he explains in the video... he now has the tools he needs to keep progressing for a lifetime...

Jamie wasn't really looking to lose weight or to improve his physique.

He got more than he asked for!

A few years ago, Jamie realised that his health & fitness was heading in the wrong direction, so he started making positive changes. 

His fitness certainly improved, BUT...

👎🏻 With tight hips and persistent knee problems following double surgery, his training was limited.

👎🏻 As the boss of a successful law firm, and a dedicated husband & father of 2, he was struggling to find the right balance. He felt like he was constantly behind the curve, was struggling to set boundaries or stick to a routine.  

He was determined to continue the positive journey that he'd started. 

To prioritise himself, learn about himself and challenge himself.

To take back control and regain his energy so he can be a positive influence at work and at home.

He needed a system that would help him to...

👉🏻 Build high-performance habits into his lifestyle

👉🏻 Be accountable to himself, disciplined & consistent

👉🏻 Train effectively around his injuries and without going to the gym

👉🏻 Create a quick, flexible and effective diet

👉🏻 Improve his performance both at home, at work... and on the paddle board.

A few weeks into the program he noticed improvements in his physique & body composition, as well as the impact he was having on others. 

And after 12 weeks...

👍🏻 He'd lost 8 kg in weight 

👍🏻 12.5 cm from the belly

👍🏻 His body fat had gone from 24% to 16%

👍🏻 His posture had dramatically improved and he had significantly less pain 

He's now feeling leaner, stronger & fitter than since his 20s - and LOVING IT!

OTHER WINS...

👍🏻 He has a flexible routine that keeps him ahead of the curve

👍🏻 Enjoying more quality time with the family - being present with the kids

👍🏻 Having a positive influence on employees - some have started exercising also

👍🏻 He has a better understanding of self & others, which helps him to stay in control 

👍🏻 His paddle-boarding is... "so much better I just can't tell you!"

👍🏻 He enjoys the changes he's made, the training & nutrition, and is excited to see where it takes him.  

 SAID...

👉🏻 "This has made such a profound difference... thank you so much"

Tom is a hugely successful man trying to balance the demands that life is throwing at him. Whilst carving out a successful career and making time for his wife and son, his own health and fitness had taken a back seat. 

He used to be strong and athletic and played a good standard of rugby. 

But, over the last 10 years a combination of old injuries and a lack of time had taken its toll on his health & fitness, and led him to gradually put on weight.

He was getting frustrated with the situation, disappointed with himself, and worried about his long-term health.  

After speaking with a doctor he knew that, he needed to...

👉🏻 Lose weight - especially from the belly

👉🏻 Improve his posture  

👉🏻 Get stronger - especially his core

👉🏻 Improve movement quality and be generally more athletic

He was about to start a new  high-pressure job, and decided it was time to make a change. He could see that working on his fitness and mindset would not just improve his long-term health, but also help him to raise his game at work and with his family. 

But he'd tried many things in the past, and nothing had worked.

He needed something different -  something sustainable that would help him to build up slowly and take back control of his own fitness. 

After 90 days in the program, which included Christmas and starting a new job, he managed to...

👍🏻 Lose 7.6 kg

👍🏻 Lose 6.4 cm from his belly

👍🏻 Create a healthy sustainable lifestyle that his family also benefit from

And that's without going to a gym or eating a punishing diet!

He also has a different outlook on life, and is looking forward to a future where he can...

👍🏻 Play sport with his son as he grows up

👍🏻 Feel confident about going on holiday and hitting the beach

👍🏻 Apply his new structure & mindset to other areas of life

👍🏻 Enjoy a healthy active lifestyle with his family

👍🏻 But still have fun and enjoy himself!

But please, don't just take my word for it... have a listen to what he had to say himself...

Rob used to play a lot of sport and was a University Rugby Captain. 

Now, in his mid-40's, with an executive job and a young family, his health & fitness had been going downhill for too long and it was affecting all areas of his life. 

He knew that professional coaching had helped him in business, and could also help him to achieve his health & fitness goals. He replied to one of my posts on Facebook and within 5 weeks had lost 5 kg. 

By the end of the program he'd lost...

👍🏻 Lose 9.5 kg

👍🏻 Lose 14 cm from his belly

WHAT'S MORE, HE ACHIEVED THESE RESULTS...

 - Without going to the gym

 - With a demanding executive job

 - Being a dad with a young family

 - Going on 2 family holidays

At the end of the program he said...

"I was in a rut, but I didn't realise how big - so this has been life changing for me...

I thought it was selfish to look after myself - but now everyone sees the benefits - we are all more active - it’s a family thing“

When I first spoke to Adam he wanted to ...

👉🏻 Feel younger, fitter and stronger 
👉🏻 Lose the ‘Lockdown Belly’ & tone up his core
👉🏻 Take his top off on the beach and feel good

He also wanted to…
👉🏻 Rebuild his self confidence
👉🏻 Have more energy at work and at home
👉🏻 Live an active, adventurous lifestyle
👉🏻 Be a good role model to his son

He’d tried many things before, but like most people, would get overwhelmed.
So, he decided to take a different approach and he joined my program.

We took it slowly to start with.
He set himself a target weight of 79 kg (his weight was 84 kg)
He implemented the small changes that would have a big effect.

Over the 12-week program he’s lost 5.5 kg - easily beating his target.
And he's lost 12 cm of fat from his abs & waist.

Pretty impressive, I hope you'll agree.. but apart from that, he’s also seen a significant improvement in…

✅Strength
✅Flexibility  
✅General fitness
✅Confidence around exercise
✅Stress management
✅Sleep quality

More importantly, he also reported the following improvements...

🔥He has increased energy levels in work and everyday life
🔥He’s more adventurous and active than he was
🔥He feels positive as a role model to his son
🔥BIGGEST IMPROVEMENT: General self-confidence 
🔥BIGGEST SURPRISE: Improved outlook in everyday life

AND… He’s managed to achieve all this…
👏🏻Without stepping into a gym
👏🏻Whilst loving his food
👏🏻With a pre-existing injury (elbow)

Rich is a busy company exec who used to play representative rugby. 

🙁 He enjoys training hard, but kept getting injured. 

🙁 He'd also tried some extreme diets, which worked - but not long-term. 

As a result, over the last few years his weight has been yo-yo-ing. 

He was aware that being leaner and fitter helped him to perform better in all areas of life - from the bedroom to the boardroom - so he was determined to find a long-term solution. 

He had been referred to me by an old client, and knew THE EDGE was right for him. 

Throughout the 12-weeks he travelled extensively with work and moved to a different country with his wife & kids. 

👉🏻Despite this, he's managed to make positive sustainable changes to his lifestyle and mindset.

👉🏻He now feels better, looks healthier & performs better in all areas of life. 

✅ LOST 6.9 kg

✅ LOST 7 cm from the waist

OTHER WINS...

✅ Noticeable improvements in energy levels

✅ Noticeably improved confidence

✅ Much better stress management

✅ Feel younger, fitter and stronger 

AND HE ACHIEVED THESE RESULTS...

 👏🏻 Whilst traveling LOTS with work (eating out with clients etc)

 👏🏻 Moved to a different country 

 👏🏻 Being a dad with a young family.

I think a lot of us can relate to M's story.
He was always relatively fit. He’s a farmer, so he’s pretty active in the day.
He used to exercise regularly, enjoy a few beers with his mates and a take away here or there. 

He’s also a caring dad who’s found it increasingly difficult to balance the needs of his work, his family and himself. As a result, his own personal needs had been neglected for too long. 🙁

Then came COVID which proved to be a particularly stressful time.
❌The lockdowns took their toll on his health and fitness.
❌He put on weight and it was affecting his self-confidence. 
❌He was feeling down and really didn’t feel like exercising. 

He knew he needed to turn things around... "to be Fit at 45 not Fat at 45"

His specific objectives were to...
👉🏻Feel healthy like he used to be
👉🏻Lose fat, build some lean muscle and be in better shape 
👉🏻Feel younger, stronger and move with less pain
👉🏻Rebuild his self-confidence
👉🏻Be a good role model

He didn’t want to starve himself.

And it all needed to fit into his busy lifestyle. 

We started to address his exercise, nutrition, lifestyle and mindset. 
We made small manageable changes that we knew would be effective. 

And they were effective!

After 12 weeks, he’s seen some dramatic physical changes…

✅ Lost 8.9 kg (19.6 lbs)
✅ Lost 12.7 cm off his abs & waist

✅ Increased full-body strength
✅ Increased flexibility 
✅ Improved general fitness & endurance

And the changes, he’s most impressed with…
✅ Improved core strength & posture - which he’s really noticed when working on the farm. 

This is all pretty awesome, but there’s more.

The benefits he wasn’t expecting!

The real-life improvements in…
✅ Energy levels at work & in normal life
✅ Self confidence
✅ Outlook in everyday life 
✅ Sleep quality
✅ Stress management 

And he’s achieved all this without starving himself or training religiously every day. 

In fact, he’s…
👍🏻“Amazed at how easy it’s been” 
👍🏻Is really enjoying his food and his exercise again, 
👍🏻Is certain that he will keep on progressing even after the program.
