I am SO excited to finally share Kateās success story š„³ But first, letās get one thing straightā¦ YES her 30kg weight loss is phenomenal and she looks like a dang athleteā¦ BUT the weight loss is actually the least interesting thing about this journey.
In the last two years Kate has undertaken a full LIFESTYLE transformation and the best bits are things you simply canāt see in pictures.
When we first started Kate wasā¦
- Unsure how to use the gym equipment
- Feeling weak and unhealthy
- Sedentary and stressed from over-working
- Time-poor and eating whatever was fast and convenient
- Low in self-confidence, often feeling anxious
- Struggling with sciatica
Kate told me she first reached out to me because my profile seemed āless macho and intimidatingā than some of the PTs around. We laugh about this now, because all she wants to do these days is āout-lift the men!ā Training is now the highlight of Kateās week and believe me sheās built some serious strength in the last two years:
- Deadlift 120kg
- Squat 105kg
- Bench 50kg
Initially hesitant to track nutrition, she worried it might be a time-consuming and restrictive approach to eating, but after plenty of reassurances that tracking ISNāT forever but IS an important part of the education process, she was soon messaging me to say how liberating it was to understand her pitfalls and finally be able to manage her weight autonomously.
Iāve now cycled Kate through many training and nutrition plans to suit her changing needs, finishing with a challenging build and cut phase with body builder-style workouts and a gruelling peak weak protocol to get her into the shape of her life ahead of the photoshoot pictured here.
Sheās now an absolute gym-pro (or should that be gym-bro?!). She is strong and healthy, nourished, keeping active throughout the week and loving the process. Her stress is in check, her sciatica is managed, and my personal favourite is the change in her confidence - the woman I met two years ago doesnāt exist anymore. In her place is a beacon of strength and resilience and I know she can achieve anything she puts her mind to! š
