It took Robert Phelan 20 years to get into a rut but only three months to get out of it thanks to Be Fit For Life’s fitter over forty programme. He’s lost 22lbs of fat and is fitter than he has been in two decades.
“I’d been to a few traditional gyms before – lots of mirrors and treadmills but it always ended up being the same. I’d put in what I thought what was a lot of effort yet my weight and body shape never changed. I resented every minute I spent there.
Nutrition
My nutrition was as poor as my training. I’d skip breakfast then make up for it at elevenses with coffee and a Danish. At night crisps and ice cream were my treats of choice. My understanding of food and nutrition was terrible.
I thought I’d never get fit and had reluctantly accepted that I was always going to be overweight.
When I first joined Be Fit For Life I thought it was going to be the same as all my previous experiences – that I’d be given some sort of programme that wasn’t sustainable. I’d end up with no results and be left feeling disappointed once again.
Be Fit has completely changed my life. I’m fitter now than I’ve been in 20 years. What’s more, I not only love going to the gym – I now look forward to training whereas before I dreaded it. My energy levels are through the roof and I’ve never eaten as much in my life!
Limits
I love the fact that the training is constantly changing so you never get bored. It’s different to all the other places because it’s not just about doing exercise – it’s about doing what’s right for you, finding out about your own limits and pushing them in a way that’s been specifically tailored for your needs.
The nutrition education is something that you just don’t get anywhere else. But perhaps the biggest positive is that I know this is now sustainable, which was huge for me.
In the same way that I thought I would never get fit before, I simply can’t see how I’ll ever revert to my old ways now that I understand what I need to do and have the support from the team to do it.
Mind-set
Since I’ve joined Be Fit For Life. I’ve completely redefined my priorities and mind-set. It took me 20 years to get into a rut yet it’s only taken three months to get out of it and that’s all down to the team at Be Fit for Life.
This is the best thing you’ll ever do for yourself, your family and your career. Forget what you thought you knew about training and nutrition, commit to the plan and I promise you’ll never look back.”
