Before I start I have a confession to make: I never believed I would have anything like the results I’ve seen, and for that reason I decided not to take a “before” photo.
I walked into BHAF 20 weeks ago in bad shape. My eating habits were poor for various reasons and I wasn’t exercising nearly enough. Due to working hours I’d had to give up football a couple of years ago and after having back surgery late last year it slowed me right down in terms of motivation. I needed a change and it took a long time for me to get into the right mindset for action. For added motivation, I had my own big day to look forward to which meant I had to look decent in my formal-wear!
I had a chat with Rob about immediate changes to my diet and was advised to take a week before starting to train, there was no pressure to join, no contract, just helpful advice & an open invitation to start training when I was ready.
I had a session with Rob to develop a program specifically for my needs and soon got into a routine which I stuck to. As the weeks went on I started to notice the benefits of both eating well and regular training. After a while I had a review and my program was changed to suit me again, and again the results followed.
That is what I think sets BHAF apart from the usual franchise gyms. They cater to the individual. I have been in gyms where you get a quick run through at the start and are left to yourself thereafter. There is always help or advice on hand when you need it here, there are 4 top trainers with expert knowledge & experience who observe and interact with members. You don’t get that anywhere else. There are also classes and personal training options available for those who want that extra push.
There is a focused but friendly atmosphere which is hard to find and absolutely no pressure or intimidation factor which can sometimes turn people away from the bigger gyms. Members are here to achieve their own personal goals, which BHAF specializes in. My own personal goal (which I’ve achieved), was to get my shape back to where it should be, rather than simply a target weight, but it was certainly nice to see the numbers before & after just 19 weeks of training:
March 2013: 13 st. 8 Ibs
July 2013: 12 st. 0 Ibs
March 2013: 36in waist
July 2013: 32in waist
I feel so much better about my health now, which comes at a good time as I’m heading away to get married soon. For that, I’d like to thank all of the trainers at BHAF. I would encourage anyone with thoughts of starting up or changing gyms to drop in & have a chat with one of the staff, as I did.
