Get Results Training With Unstoppabl
Jez’s Story
Jez came to us after putting on weight during lockdown. He was looking for way to lose weight and keep it off without giving up the foods he enjoyed.
At 50 - Jez - father and busy account manager for an international company, had a very similar experience to many during the covid pandemic.
He was forced to work from home, away from the hustle and bustle of his normal work environment. He had the added stress of doing the jobs of two people whilst one of his colleagues was unable to work because of covid.
He found himself becoming more stressed, more tired, and his energy levels were hitting rock bottom. He was sat at his desk from morning until night with no respite.
He didn’t have time to exercise and didn’t have time to eat properly - grabbing whatever was available from the cupboard or fridge. This new reality that we all found ourselves in resulted in Jez putting on a load of weight.
As restrictions finally eased, he was able to spend some time with his extended family. Everything came to a head for Jez at a family get together around Christmas.
Everyone thought it would be a good idea to step on the scales and see how much weight they’d put on during lockdown.
Jez reluctantly got on the scales but hadn’t counted on what the number looking back at him was going to say. Not only that, all his family also saw it too.
He was shocked and embarrassed. It was the heaviest he’d ever been in his life.
“It was the heaviest I had ever been. I needed to and wanted to lose the weight.”
“I’d been to the gym, tried running, tried fad diets – none of it got the results I wanted”
He’d tried dieting to lose the weight but everything he tried was way too restrictive. He ended up back at square one, putting on the weight he’d lost.
Trying to fix the problem himself wasn’t working for Jez so he decided he needed help to get the results he wanted. He was fed up going around in circles, not finding a solution.
That’s when Jez came to Unstoppabl.
“I’m going to finish off the chocolate and have my last beer before starting with you on Monday.”
This was Jez’s opening line on his onboarding call with us.
Our response:
“You’re still going to be able to eat the foods you enjoy and lose weight working with us”.
This was the first change in how Jez started looking at achieving his weight loss goal.
“I quickly realised that changing what you eat is only going to get you to your goal if you enjoy it and it’s something you can see yourself eating a year from now”.
Get Results Training - we don’t make promises we deliver results.
In just 12 short weeks working with Unstoppabl Jez lost 8kgs, but this was only the start.
This is how we made it work for him. Jez was short on time and decided he wanted to train at home rather than waste time travelling to and from the gym.
We built him a home based training programme that he could do with a couple of kettlebells.
Every workout he did targeted his entire body. Every rep and set in Jez’s programme was designed to get him closer to his goal. No fillers, all substance.
We adapted Jez’s training to accommodate an old shoulder injury that had plagued him when he’d tried to train before. The key for Jez was having a plan that would get the results he needed, whilst still giving him the freedom and flexibility he wanted.
This was the real gamechanger for Jez has he finally found something that worked and something he could see himself doing for the rest of his life.
After seeing the results his father was getting, Jez’s son got involved too. Spending more time with his son was an added bonus Jez wasn’t expecting.
“With Unstoppabl, I’m enjoying the training and health benefits it provides me.”
Jez has got in the best shape of his life whilst still being able to have a beer and enjoy a pizza when he wants.
All of his health markers, without exception, have improved and he’s now got the biological age of a man 20 years his junior.
“I feel better, healthier and I’ve got a load more energy. I’m also feeling much more confident and the tiredness I was feeling before has all gone”.
Now Jez had got to his weight loss goal he’s got his sights on a new challenge
What’s next? Jez has always supported a cancer charity. It’s a charity close to his heart. Having come so far in his training he’s decided to support his chosen charity by running a marathon.
“I'm enjoying the training seeing and feeling the health benefits and now I think maybe I could just run that 26 miles, put all the training in, and still enjoy it”.
We can’t wait to support Jez through his training on the next chapter of his fitness journey.
We want you to keep the results you get working with us for the rest of your life.
