“I Just Needed a Kick in the Pants”: How Phil Reclaimed His Confidence and Lost 24lbs

When Phil started his 90 Day Transformation, he wasn’t just carrying extra weight — he was carrying the emotional toll of years spent feeling low, stuck, and invisible.

But in just a few months, Phil lost over 24 pounds of body fat, rebuilt his energy, and — most importantly — rediscovered his confidence.

“I just felt I had no energy and no goals. I needed a kickstart in my life.”

Here’s how Phil transformed his mindset, his body, and his entire life through our 90-Day Transformation Program.

The Breaking Point: “I Felt Like a Victim”

Before joining, Phil was at his lowest.

“I wasn’t comfortable with how I looked, but more than that — I’d lost my confidence. I’d stopped going out, stopped talking to people. I literally didn’t want to get out of bed.”

Despite trying countless diets and the usual January gym memberships, nothing stuck. He knew he had to try something radically different.

Why This Time Was Different

Phil made a decision: go all in, and admit he needed help.

“I walked in the door and said, ‘Help.’ I went in with a completely open mind. I told myself, if they say I need to do burpees — I’ll just do it.”

It was a total mindset shift. Instead of treating fitness like a short-term fix, Phil committed to long-term change, no matter how uncomfortable it felt at first.

What Was Holding Him Back?

More than anything, it was his mindset.

“I became a bit of a victim. I’d done tough things in the past — even a 56-mile bike ride with no training. But I’d lost that side of myself. I needed to take responsibility again.”

Lack of knowledge was also a factor.

“I was uninformed. I’d just get on a treadmill and hope for the best. I didn’t know what real training looked like.”

Why the Transformation Process Worked

When Phil came in for his initial consultation, it didn’t feel like a gym — and that was exactly the point.

“It felt like family. The photos on the wall, the stories — they weren’t strangers. It was like looking at what your mates had achieved.”

But what sealed the deal was the honest, no-nonsense approach.

“You didn’t sell me a gimmick. You said it was going to take effort, that we’d build a plan together. That’s what sold it — and the fact you guys genuinely care.”

The Results: Physical, Mental, and Emotional Transformation

24lbs of body fat lost
Increased strength and fitness
Complete shift in mindset
Tackled the Three Peaks Challenge

“I can now fit into t-shirts I’ve never been able to wear. I did the Three Peaks — I sprinted the last part. Burpees and bear crawls made a huge difference. I hated them — but they worked.”

And beyond the physical?

“The biggest win for me is confidence. My family has noticed. I’ve got more energy. I’m actually proud of myself now.”

Making It Work — Even With a Demanding Job

Phil works in IT, with a non-stop, unpredictable schedule. But that didn’t stop him.

“I made it a lifestyle change. I talked to my boss, planned around my sessions, and if work runs late, I can go to a different location. The flexibility here is incredible — and they always make space for me.”

Phil’s Advice for Anyone Considering It

“Ask yourself: can you afford not to do this?”

“You get one body — it has to work for you. If you’re stuck, stop thinking about it and just do it. Walk in the door. Say help. That first step changed everything for me.”
