"Feeling like I needed to make changes …"

Feeling like I needed to make changes to live a healthier, fitter life style I joined the Academy 6 weeks ago and have lost 23lb and feel so much healthier for it! I couldn't have achieved this without all the help, encouragement and support from everyone at the Academy. So a big thank you from me and here's to the next 6 weeks! Highly recommend you won't look back!

"I've been coming to the Academy for … 2 Months"

I've been coming to the Academy for just over 2 months now, I can honestly say it's been one of the best experiences, not just because of the weight loss (although that is a huge factor!) but also because I'm enjoying it, no matter how much I whine about wanting to die in the sessions, I do genuinely enjoy myself, the people are all lovely and very supportive. I've done hundreds of different things in the past to lose weight and it's never worked, a pound here or there and then I put it back on. Since joining I've lost 26lb which is fantastic and really encourages me to keep going. The thing I probably love the most is that it's not saying you can never have a drink or never have cake or chocolate, it's just making sensible choices which I've got to admit I wasn't doing before! I can't recommend the academy enough and intend to continue my journey here!

"Joining the Academy I'm sure will end …"

Joining the Academy I'm sure will end up as one the most important decisions I ever made. At 37, I was massively overweight, unfit, and at the point where I'd almost just accepted this is who I was.
I'd tried diets and gyms for around 15 years, and whilst there was nothing particularly wrong with either of these, they didn't keep me hooked and I soon lost interest/motivation 2-3 weeks in. The diets never worked for me because I didn't have the self-discipline to stay off the crap, and I soon became bored counting calories, or being told I can't eat any pasta today, but as much as I want tomorrow!!
Everything is different at the Academy. You're doing 45-min sessions with people who have all been through the same thing. There is no pressure to keep up with those fitter than you, you don't feel embarrassed when you're panting & sweating everywhere, and at the end you feel fantastic. The sessions are also different every day so you don't get bored of it.
The coaches are just brilliant. Most have come through the Academy themselves. The support is nothing like I've seen before, and there's a real team mentality in the place both with the coaches and your fellow ninjas.
On top of this, there's massive help on the nutrition side. Rather than focusing on calories, or "don't eat cake" etc (the obvious stuff we all know anyway) they focus more on changing your mindset when it comes to food & drink,and this has been the biggest win for me. I'm eating decent food, treats at the weekend etc, and got to the point where I don't even think about it anymore.
If you join the Academy, and follow the instructions/advice (or FTDI) you can't fail. And above all, you'll make new friends, have fun at the sessions and the monthly social, and before you know it its just a part of your life.
I only wish I hadn't waited so long to sign up, but will never look back.

"First two months at the academy"

Just finished my first two months at the academy and really glad I made that first step to go. Well structured classes, motivating fellow members and clear food guidelines. Looking forward to hitting my next target of 2stone loss.

"Honestly I don't know where to start …"

Honestly I don't know where to start from but the thing that I'm 100% sure of is that joining the Academy was the best decision I have taken in my life.
So, I am approaching the end of my 3rd month in the Academy and I have lost 33lbs. It is not only about losing weight, I am feeling more stronger, fitter and this boosted my self confidence. I am doing many exercises that I have never thought I will be able to do.
The Academy is not like a conventional gym, it is a change of your life style. I mean that you will be eating healthier, minimising the stress that you're facing in your life and sleeping well.
You will be doing all of that and having fun to. Everybody in the Academy is a true family, they are all helpful and supportive to a level that you won't believe.
For all of that I feel really thankful for the existence of the Academy that have changed my life for the better.
Also a huge thank you for my fellow ninjas who have been a true family and made the sessions so much fun and easier.

"Incredible place to be!"

I've enjoyed an incredible couple of months at The Academy. Both my mind and body have changed for the better and I cannot wait to see what the next chapter holds! Thanks to Jon, Matt and the rest of the team for creating a supportive and welcoming environment regardless of age, size, fitness level etc- I don't know anywhere else quite like it!

"Great place to get fit"

Th Academy is a great way to loose weight and get in shape, everyone is very helpful and makes it a fun way to get fit.

"Awesome place to go"

Since joining the academy 2 months ago I have now completed the 20lb challenge and couldn't be happier I have so much more energy and generally feel better. The coaches and all the other members are fantastic can not recommend this place enough.
