Weight Loss Confidence

Andy C. Dad, two jobs, almost 20kg down in five months.

Andy used to train at a chain gym for one to two hours, most days, and not feel like he was getting anywhere. He came to us in November 2025 wanting to lose weight, find motivation and be surrounded by people who lifted him up. Five months later he has quite literally transformed, and become one of the loudest, kindest voices in the room.

Where Andy was before

Andy came to us having trained on his own in a commercial gym most days, anywhere between one and two hours, and just not feeling like he was achieving anything. As a dad of a little girl and someone working two busy jobs, his time is precious. If he was going to spend it on training, the training had to be worth it.

What he wanted

Andy wanted to lose weight. He wanted to feel motivated. And he wanted to be surrounded by people who would lift him up. He has found exactly that.

Andy has not just lost weight. He has built confidence. He is one of the kindest people you will meet, there for everybody, and the first voice shouting for someone else.

Coach note

Five months in

Andy started with us in November 2025. In five short months, he has quite literally transformed. He is just under 20kg lighter, but more importantly, the way he carries himself has shifted entirely.

For years he had struggled with calf issues, stiffness in his back and tightness in his hips. He had not done a lot of structured strength work. We started carefully, focused on movement, mobility and positioning. The bar weighed 20kg. That was the starting point.

What he is lifting now

He can now lunge cleanly. He can squat well. He is performing compound movements far better than when he walked in. His 1RM bench press is at 70kg. His 3RM back squat is at 70kg. He is running on his own time too. He has some big goals, and we know he will get there because his enthusiasm is electric.

Coach note

Andy is the kind of member who reminds you why we built this gym. He shows up. He tries his best every single time. He is the first to celebrate someone else's lift. The transformation you can see in the photos is the smallest part of the story. The transformation in how he sees himself is the bit that matters.
