Andrew had been struggling with his weight for a long time…. it had started to affect his health, his energy and his body confidence. He knew something had to change!

Before coming to work with Chris at CMP, Andrew had tried everything to lose weight…. he’d been in and out of most gyms in Sheffield, he’d tried every diet available but could never lose weight for good.

In his younger years he was always fit and active as a keen cyclist but as he went through his 40’s and then his 50’s, he found it harder and harder to see any improvements in his body.

He felt like his body, and his health, was on the downward spiral.

It was beginning to affect his body confidence and his social interactions too, he’d wear oversized clothes in an attempt to hide his stomach and wouldn’t do his upmost to avoid being in situations where he would feel exposed, like swimming or on the beach.

Enough was enough when Andrew topped the scales at just under 107kg and was diagnosed with high blood pressure, he knew then that he needed professional help

‘I went to commercial gyms for years, doing the same exercises over and over to try and lose weight. I’d reached a point in my life where i wasn’t getting any younger, was finding it increasingly difficult and i couldn’t play with the grandkids without getting breathless!

Because i’d battled with my weight for years, i also had the fear of the unknown.

What if it didn’t work?

What if i was too old?

What if i wasn’t fit enough to get to where i wanted to be?

I came across CMP and the results that other people had achieved and felt like i had nothing to lose, so i filled in the form and spoke with Chris about the program before deciding to join’

The results? My god… they’ve been incredible! I honestly would never have believed you if you’d have told me that i would be where i am now.

My weight has dropped from just under 107kg to 86kg, i’m now in shirts that are four sizes smaller and i’ve got a new outlook on life again!

Not only that, what i’ve learnt has been transformational. At CMP, they really care about your results and they care that you’re sticking to the program. Chris has taught me a lot about nutrition and training, i now feel like i have a better understanding of where my calories need to be and what i need to eat. In the gym, i know more about exercise than i ever have, i’m lifting weights four times per week, i’m getting stronger and Chris keeps me on track with changes to my program regularly so that my body keeps progressing.

I no longer punish myself if i eat something ‘bad’ and i’m no longer in a desperate state of wanting to lose weight but not knowing how to do it properly.

And the best part is that after my fatloss program with Chris, I’ve now kept the weight off for months and i’m eating more than ever as we continue working together. Never would i have thought that i could lose that much weight and actually be able to keep it off! I’d recommed Chris and the CMP to anyone who is serious about getting into shape!’
