Ann’s Weight Loss Journey

'Grandma' Ann got abs in her 60's for her fitness photoshoot!

I’d like you to meet Ann, a 65 years young Grandma who’s torn up the rule book and proved what can be achieved if you take your goal and grab it by the horns.

I’m about to share with you Ann’s weight loss journey. Spoiler alert, you might be a tad inspired after reading this…

She’s the mother of Sarah whose results you can read about here, Ann started working with me back in August 2020 alongside Sarah and since then Ann has lost an impressive 11kg.

I challenge you to find another 65 year old that’s in the condition that Ann’s now in.

Because when you get older you just put up with it right? That ‘middle aged spread’, the change in hormones and the ‘reduced’ metabolism just gets the better of you?

It’s impossible to lose weight and to maintain a healthy lean physique right?

WRONG.

Here’s the evidence that debunks all of these ‘stories’.

Sarah’s Weight Loss Journey

Mum of 2 Sarah got in the shape of her life for her photoshoot.

To share these results of Sarah’s inspirational weight loss journey with you makes me incredibly proud of what she’s achieved. Sarah has defied social norms and proved that no matter what the obstacle, incredible results can be achieved.

To quote Ryan Holiday…

“The obstacle is the way.”

What was life like before making the change?

“Before making the decision to phone Dale, I was hiding behind baggy clothes and actively avoiding having my photo taken because I hated the way I looked. I felt ashamed of myself and wanted to hide in the background.

Niamh’s Fitness Transformation

Niamh got in the shape of her life for her fitness photoshoot.

“I first contacted Dale after all the information he put out on social media during the lockdowns.  His enthusiasm and willingness to help people make the most of their health and fitness at that time really motivated and inspired me. I was impressed by his knowledge. His kindness and how much he cares about his clients was clear to see.  So I knew I could trust him.”

Back in March 2021 Niamh decided that it was time to start working with me. I’d known Niamh for a little while before that as we’d interacted in the gym and she’d followed my content. Niamh initially had one goal in mind…

To deadlift 100kg.

Her previous PB was 85kg but she wanted to join the 100 club. Our training commenced just before the gyms reopened due to Covid so we had the first couple of sessions outdoors before being able to hit the gym a couple of weeks later and that’s when the real work started.

CAN YOU LOSE WEIGHT WITHOUT CARDIO?

I can’t help but think that most people only associate exercise with weight loss or burning calories. They think that the only reason or the main reason to exercise is to simply expend energy so that they can lose weight.

It’s why the cardio machines in the gym are so busy on a Monday night, everyone is trying to exercise their way to weight loss or un-do the weekend. I recently completed a photoshoot which consisted of 16 weeks of preparation which resulted in me getting into what I can only describe as, the shape of my life.

Short-Term Transformations pt.2 with James Critchen & James Mc Dowell

The #DoTheWork Podcast – Episode #6

In today’s episode I am joined again by James Critchen and James Mc Dowell.  There was so much content we had to split the episode into 2 parts. I met these legends at the International Fitness Summit in Barcelona last year.

Both are Personal Trainers – Crabby, who is based in Surrey is an S&C Coach who works out of his home gym and (Irish) James is from, well, Ireland who has both F2F and online clients and he helps them lose their first 10lbs – It was an absolute pleasure to get them on.

EXPLICIT WARNING – THERE ARE A FEW NAUGHTY WORDS IN THIS ONE
