MEET BRIAN
Are you lacking individualised guidance, support and specific knowledge? Are you feeling lost in your training and just not seeing the progress you want to see?Brian was the exact same. He came to us feeling as if he didn't know what he was aiming at, and quite frankly, felt bored in his training.Fast forward to the Brian of today, and he is in the driver seat of his performance, driven with a new sense of purpose and achieving new levels of performance in all aspects of his life on a weekly basis.Here's what he had to say..
MEET Jordan
Are you lacking energy? Not feeling like you're performing at the level you want but unsure what you're supposed to be doing?Jordan did too, he felt in the dark when it came to his nutrition and didn't know where to turn.When Jordan came to us he was performing at an elite inter county level, but was frustrated as knew he had more to give.Jordan started seeing massive changes in how he felt, looked and performed, and got back to playing at the level he knew he was capable of playing at, consistently.Here's what Jordan said..
MEET EVAN
Are you feeling stuck? Are you lacking a clear routine and structure, and feel as if you are just bouncing from day-to-day?If so, don't feel alone, Evan was there too.Evan reached out to us because he knew he had more to give in his performance but didn't know where to start. He had tried DIY methods in the past that just wouldn't stick for him and ultimately he would find himself in the same position a couple of weeks later.Almost immediately, Evan started to see massive wins, and his weight (something he struggled with for years) started to move in the right direction.As Evan puts it, the wins he started to see became more and more "addictive"Don't believe us?Here's what Evan had to say..
