Read what recent clients have said about Fitness Redefined …
Christie Lenn, life-changing results through personal training
“Josh, I just wanted to put down in words my deep appreciation for your help and commitment over the last year and a half. Although my original aims were to lose weight and tone up (which we have achieved with great success, just ask my husband!) I feel I have finally gained a firm hold on what I, personally, need to do to remain slim and healthy.
“One thing I am very proud of, and I feel you should be too baring in mind how much it effected what I could do, is that we managed to do this while I was suffering with a pre-existing hip and back problem (which has now gone) and then a shoulder issue, which needed very careful handling and ended up in surgery.
“I loved that I could email/text you with any questions or requests for help and you would always respond so promptly – how you managed this whilst travelling around Sussex to assist your next client I don’t know, especially as I never saw you answer other peoples’ queries during one of our sessions!
“As you know, now my shoulder is on the mend and I’m happy with my weight (finally!). My goals for this year are to really crack on with the strength training part of things to really nail down some muscle tone – so you’re not rid of me yet.
“The biggest issues I had were worries about cost and fitting exercise into my time; for what it’s worth, I finally made the decision that it’s a quality of life thing – I just didn’t want to remain constantly beating myself up about my weight and fitness levels. Like the advertising people say, some things are priceless, and I’m worth it! (Flicking hair with Mastercard in hand now…)
“My sincere and deepest thanks.”
Fran Playford, motivated, rid of back pain, and enjoying exercise
“I have been training with Josh for two years.
“When we first met, I was overweight with a bad back. I was unfit, drinking too much and eating all the wrong foods. I felt pretty low and miserable.
“Josh motivated me from day one, setting realistic goals and making working hard at my fitness fun and rewarding.
“I kept a food diary and was encouraged to exchange the sugary and fattening foods for healthy snacks and meals. My energy levels soared and my sleep pattern greatly improved.
“Working on my core strength has improved my back to the extent that I have not had one episode of back pain in the last 18 months.
“Recent Well Woman Screening tests at BUPA (Sept 2011) confirm I am now the perfect weight for my height (61kg), with appropriate BMI; cholesterol is excellent at just under five, my lung capacity has improved hugely in the two years since my previous screening, and my general fitness for my age is excellent – thanks to my personal trainer.
“Our twice weekly sessions are still fun (as well as hard work!) and who ever thought that I would learn to love running at the grand old age of 50?!!
“I can’t recommend Josh highly enough.”
Tracy Nayler, success with progressive exercise
“Josh has been my personal trainer for several years, initially at the gym and now at home.
“He has a great personality, and is very knowledgeable with a professional and supportive approach.
“He has kept me motivated with progressive exercises to address different aspects of my health and fitness. He has also trained my daughter and, on my recommendation, friends, and I strongly commend him to you.”
Nick Button, used fitness to overcome health issues
“In my opinion Josh Macdonald provides an excellent and professional personal training service.
“Although you will need the motivation to stick with the exercise programme, the benefits will be more than worth it.
“At the time I started with Josh I had poor fitness associated with joint problems (hyper mobility) and so needed assistance in selecting an appropriate exercise regime. My general heath, personal fitness and stamina have improved immensely.
“At an affordable price, I would consider this money well spent.
“I would whole-heatedly recommend you start your new fitness regime straight away.”
Michelle Dennis, lost seven stone
“I have lost 45kg (just under seven stone). Nine months ago I was 120kg (18st 13lbs). With my busy work schedule, meals were sporadic and consisted mainly of pre-packaged, processed food. I’d typically skip breakfast and then fill up with crisps when I became hungry later on. Exercise wasn’t in my vocabulary.
“I then decided to take on Fitness Redefined, nine months later my life has completely changed. I have now become a regular exerciser and have lost 45kg (over seven stone).
“The way my food plan is laid out for me every week really helps me stay on track and the exercise programmes I receive are updated every week, which helps stop the boredom kicking in.
“Anyone who has tried diet after diet and failed every time needs to work with this company.
“Thank you Fitness Redefined.”
Katy Marsden, dropped two dress sizes
“Having Polycystic ovaries makes losing weight incredibly hard and I’d struggled for years; going to the gym, eating ‘healthily’ and getting nowhere. Eight months ago, I decided that I had to take some serious action and started training with Josh.
“Since then I have gone down two dress sizes, lost three inches from my waist, seen my shape change completely and discovered cheekbones I didn’t know I had! Not only that, I’ve just signed up for my first 10K run - and I always swore I hated running!
“Josh has literally changed my life; I couldn’t have done it without him. His knowledge and expertise has revolutionised the way I eat and exercise, and his humour and motivation has kept me going when I didn’t think anything was working and the hard work wasn’t worth it. I feel so much fitter and full of energy, and I actually look forward to whatever my new workout is going to be.
“Suddenly, being a healthy weight for my height and being fit doesn’t just seem possible but attainable, and that is down to Josh.
“I would recommend anyone to train with Josh, he has made me feel amazing and if my friends are to be believed, I look amazing too!”
John Kirby, reduced body fat by 14%
“After hitting 18 stone, getting tired just walking up the stairs and no longer being able to play football with my boys, I decided it was time to do something about it.
“I joined the Fitness Redefined personal training programme and within a year I had lost four and a half stone, reduced my body fat by 14% and could even fit into my old 32 inch waist Levi jeans!
“Fitness Redefined has really changed my whole way of life. From training to my diet, I would recommend Fitness Redefined to anyone!”
Ayad George, lost 18kg
“Before deciding to work with Fitness Redefined I was out of shape, had zero energy and my confidence was on the floor. I have now lost 18kg, my body fat has dropped by 9.5% and my body mass index is down from 33 to 26.5.
“I found the Fitness Redefined service to be very results orientated, which suited me because I’ve tried every diet on the planet and have failed every time.
“This is not a diet but an effective eating plan and exercise pattern that will change your life.”
Debbie Beesly, found Fitness Redefined to be an inspiration
“Following an injury, I had a lot of back pain and stopped doing any exercise. As a result I was very unfit, had constant back pain and gained a lot of weight. I had been yo-yo dieting, which just left me heavier than when I started.
“I was recommended personal training with Fitness Redefined by a friend. Fitness Redefined has been an inspiration; Josh has provided that all important motivation, guidance and support that I needed.
“I have since lost almost three stone and am thrilled I am now able to buy clothes two-three sizes smaller! However what has meant even more is that I no longer have constant back pain.
“I sleep better, have more energy and feel years younger.”
Steve Hunter, dramatic weight loss and improved fitness levels
“Over the past ten years or so I have been a member of more gyms than I can remember. I would join with the motivation to lose weight and get fitter but then after a short amount of time I would lose interest, not go back and the weight would pile back on.
“In September last year I decided to try personal training and have not looked back since. With the help of Fitness Redefined I have now lost over 80lbs (around six stone). My life has completely changed. I feel years younger and my fitness levels are better than I ever dreamt they would be.
“My self confidence is at a level I never thought possible and my social life has also had a major boost as a result!”
