When I first met with Beckie she asked me how I was and to tell her a little bit about myself. I don’t think I even managed to finish my sentence and before I started to cry my eyes out. I was so overwhelmed with emotion, as for the first time I was saying aloud all the thoughts and feeling I had about my own body and the person I had become. I was essentially a fat shell of the person I used to be and felt completely lost. I had been very open with my friends and family about how I didn’t like my body, but no one really knew the extent that I was binge eating and secret eating, I’m not sure I had ever realised how bad it had got until that moment. I thought no one in the world would understand the complexity of my feelings and relationship with food. But Beckie did. She just seemed to get me straight away. After an hour of chatting Beckie took me on as a client and said “I have a really good feeling about you” for the first time I really believed in myself and was so excited to start training!

From that moment on Beckie became my go-to girl for everything! Beckie became more than just my trainer but became a friend I knew I could talk to about anything without any judgement. Beckie has pushed me in every training session to lift heavier and work harder. The part I really valued about my training plan with Beckie were my mind-set sessions, in these sessions she would get me to think about my relationship with food but also the negative relationship I had built up with myself, these sessions really gave me a chance to recognise my own achievements and really began to make me love myself again. Beckie made every session so fun and has taught me so much about exercise and nutrition that I am now able to do it on my own and continue to work harder and harder each time I enter the gym. And although my amazing journey with Beckie has come to an end, I won’t ever go back to how I used to be! To say Beckie changed my life is an understatement! I honestly can’t believe how happy I am & positive I am about the future.

Before I began with Beckie I was lost. I was secretly very unhappy and insecure, to the point where if I had a bad meal, or some bad food, it would stay on my mind for the following days and weeks. My weight was constantly going up and down in a continuous cycle and even when I came a few pounds away from reaching my “target weight” I was still so unhappy and I felt no different. I thought if I lost weight it would solve all of my problems. I’ve had personal trainers, I’ve done diets including going to slimming world yet nothing seemed to be effective or sustainable. I made the decision after a long time to start the body transformation with Beckie, it was the best decision I have ever made and I would recommend it to anyone who is even considering it. Beckie is my friend, my trainer, a guide, my go to and just all round an amazing, caring person. Beckie puts 110% effort into you, your personal situation and is there providing support 24/7. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been in my life and I honestly never ever thought that would be possible for me, I look forward to training every week and my body has changed so much in a way I never thought I would see. I would never have been able to do it without Beckie, she’s helped me become a stronger person (in the physical and mental sense) and I now know so much more about nutrition and diet which has helped me so much in my life for the better. My favourite parts are mind set and training. Training is different every week and always fun and a laugh. The most key thing is you would never do anything that doesn’t specifically suit you and your body. My mindset and how to deal with certain situations has changed massively for the better and I can’t even remember what it was like before I started. The best thing about Beckie is she accepts you for you, she accepts we are all human and find life difficult at times, we make mistakes and shes with you all the way..I can’t say thank you enough because all I’ve ever wanted is to feel the happiness I now do. To anyone in the same situation thinking that they’ve tried everything and nothing works, try this and I promise it will be your best decision.

Zoe’s Story… (90.5cm lost in 12 weeks – but it’s not about the inches..) “At 5am on my 21st birthday, I messaged Beckie feeling desperate to change. I felt ill, unhappy, unconfident, ashamed like enough was enough. I was so nervous when I first met Beckie I hardly said word but we sat down and spoke about things I never expected. I remember feeling a solid 0/10 when I looked in the mirror and just felt like I was meant to be like this… fat, shy and unfit. I didn’t even have the confidence to voice my opinion, like, at work if there was a choice, I never ever opened my mouth once, I just constantly felt paranoid about what other people would think. I drunk and smoked every single weekend without fail, 2 bottles of wine and a handful of vodka shots each night and spent hundreds and hundreds of £ on wasting my weekends. I just wasn’t bothered about anything. Beckie has been absolutely amazing to have as a trainer these past 12 weeks!She’s completely brought me out of my shell and changed me into someone that I never thought I could be. I went from being this shy and quiet girl back in November who thought that she was maybe just born to not to go the gym or eat healthy to now someone who will happily walk into the gym and do something more than just walk on the treadmill and actually eating vegetables daily is just amazing! There’s been so many positive changes from my 12 week transformation from my every day habits (I’m so much more tidy and organised, I’m doing my washing once a week and going from 4+ takeaways a week to none!), my confidence, I’m always smiling and laughing, even my family can’t believe the change in me, everyone at work now asks me for advice and copies my nutrition plan! I have lost nearly a whole METER off my body and with Christmas and New Year in-between I’ve definitely had my fair share of naughty weekends. But Beckie has taught me balance, how to lose weight with lots of food and not feel hungry and still make it a lifestyle. The change is just endless and I can safely say I’ve achieved all 3 goals I set with Beckie on day one and more. I’ve learnt so so much from this experience, something that I could never forget. Thank you so much Beckie for all your hard work you have put into me!

^{When I first sat down with Beckie in my consultation I cried my eyes out and couldn’t believe how I’d let myself get into the worst shape of my life and was essentially what I would describe as a miserable, fat mess. We sat and talked about all that I wanted to achieve and how I wanted my life to be with my appearance, fitness, nutrition but also with my happiness and outlook on life. Once I embarked on my 12 week body transformation not only did I notice the rapid changes in my body but also in my mood, I became a much more positive person. Doing mindset training with Beckie was a game changer – yes I sat balling my eyes out in my values session and getting to the route of the problem was painful but it completely open my eyes to what motivates me and makes me do the things I do. One thing about mindset training with Beckie is that you might think you know yourself but until you go through all of this you really don’t! When it comes to training I have never been stronger in my whole life than I am now, Beckie pushes you to your limits but in the smartest way that you’re still laughing and not feeling like you want to give up. I looked forward to every single one of my sessions and walked away each time having achieved a new PB or perfecting a new move. You will never dread a training session with Beckie! I can’t thank Beckie enough for all the support, the whatsapp’s at any time of day, the encouragement when I was flagging and the all up friend that she is to me. I couldn’t have asked for a better trainer and I know for sure I wouldn’t have achieved results this good with anyone else! I can sit and make jokes about ‘fat Abby’ and laugh about it now because not only have I lost a stone and a half but Beckie has set me up for success and I believe I won’t let myself ever get back to the way I was. My binge eating, carb overloading days are behind me and I now know how to treat myself with food in the right way. All I can do is sing her praises and encourage anyone who really wants/needs to re-set their outlook on life and transform the way they look, but more importantly feel about themselves is to book in for a consultation with Beckie and beg her to take you on! Beckie you are my own hero/angel and I am actually devastated that this part of my body journey is over – it’s been a memorable one x}

^{6 WEEKS PROGRESS. I just wanted to put something out there for you all to think about, and I guess a little testimony to Beckie, Back in 2016 Beckie saved my life. Apart from my Mum and my boyfriend no one knew the destruction going on in my head. I was so close to the point of no return, I just couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel anymore. The doctors and mental health referrals were as useful as a chocolate teapot, no one could understand what I had been through, the pain I had endured and how to break through to me mentally until I met Beckie. She was the best investment I could ever had made, and girls I promise you its so worth it. My relationship with food has made a huge turn around, my relationship with my Mum and my boyfriend have also improved, I can talk and open up to them now, my body is looking so much better, and my mindset is on a whole other level. This once broken girl who felt so damaged is healing, my self confidence and esteem is rising each day at fast rates and I’m finding the ability to love myself, without using food to punish myself. Now I’m no where near my physical goal, but I’m okay with that as I’ve learnt it’s a slow process, but one that works and to trust in. Girls, trust the process! Listen to everything Beckie tells you- she is like god! and believe in it, but most importantly believe in yourself! Don’t ever give up or think you can’t do it, and that applies to anything, not just eating habits and the way you look !2017 is going to be very different than last year, I’m going to keep working on me, mentally and physically, I may have the odd off day, but that’s okay, as long as I know I’m doing the very best I can, then that’s all that matters. If you’re finding yourself in the place that I was in last year, make that investment with Beckie, you honestly won’t regret it! Equally, if you’re not in a place to be able to, make sure you treasure every bit of information and help she gives you like it’s fairy dust, make it work for you. PS love to all my VIP girls too who are still smashing it, you got this!}

6 WEEK ONLINE PROGRAMME: “I want to say such a big thank you to Beckie Hughes. The progress I’ve made in just 7 weeks is amazing. I have been on her 6 week programme and just signed on for a further 6 weeks. The progress I’ve seen has made me such a happier person! Not just how I look, more so on how I feel. I’ve struggled for a while with mental demons, I took it upon myself to travel solo for half a year to improve this and to grow. However you can’t run away from your problems and when I returned, I came home to them. Getting into this routine with Beckie has opened my eyes to realising how important fitness is, people tell you it releases endorphins and I never really listened. But eating clean and exercise has made me happier, healthier with way more energy. I think most importantly Beckie is so supportive, knowledgeable, and motivational! I can’t thank her enough, and I know she’ll stick by me as my journey has only just begun! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! Sorry for sudden messages, but loving the new 6 weeks smashing the diet and my god the tricep workout is intense! I still burn from Monday!! Honestly though thank you for bringing me back to the happy me everyone once knew… I am happier within myself!

^{If you told me 12 weeks ago my life would be like it is now, I wouldn’t have believed you”. Meet my lovely little Soph “When i first met Beckie i felt so low all the time and hated my body. How i looked and how I thought people looked down on me was on my mind 24/7 for so many years. It had got to the point where I never wanted to go out, I didn’t see friends and missed out on things that I probably wont get to experience again. I looked around for a while and then i stumbled about Beckie’s Facebook page. I would usually ponder about whether to make such a massive change but this time i just did it. I didn’t even have to think twice. I think it was after 2 weeks with Beckie that i first noticed the biggest change. I had struggled with feeling bloated, tired and sluggish for a very long time tha
t altering my diet slightly made the world of difference! Since then i made huge improvements, i was feeling more awake and motivated than ever and i loved it!! I have now learned to LOVE the gym and find it fun rather than hating it like i used to. Every week the re something new that Beckie taught me and something that I could be proud of, which was so great. I learned from Beckie what exercises worked for me and most importantly how to build a bigger booty and slim down my waist! I have learnt SO much from Beckie in only 12 weeks, i honestl y feel like i know my own body better than ever and it is the best feeling. My confidence has gone through the roof, i don’t even think about what other people think i look like because to me, i look good and feel so healthy. I am a completely different person now, i dress different, i act different and my mind is different! I am a completely new person but in the strangest way, i know myself better than i have ever before. I’ve had so many ups and downs in the background of my transformation in my personal life and i truly believe that if i had not gone down this road with Beckie, i don’t think i could have coped. I’m so much stronger and I will never be able to thank Beckie enough, she’s a true star..}

Happiness is… This weekend I’ve gone through the wardrobe in anticipation of a night out I’m going to have to wear a glamorous dress for which is not a typical Elin event so I am preparing in advance. And to my surprise I can get into not one but allof the dresses that have been stuffed under my spare bed for very a long time. This evens includes the one that predates the other half and he’s never seen me wear. It’s tight across the assets (all of them) and lets not say that it’s in any way flattering. But I was physically able to get in it ……fairly comfortably ….and it doesn’t even contain lycra. In terms of clothing archaeology we are now beyond the strata of 2010 which included the interview suit and now rapidly approaching 2007. Best forget the boot cut jeans of 2006 which look ridiculous, I think I wore about twice and are now destined for charity. That’s over a decade of weight lost. I don’t need to go blow money on a new interview suit. I don’t need to bother with the new dress I bought which I could now send back ( screw that keeping it anyway J ) But this isn’t really why I’m happy even though I have spent a pleasant afternoon driving the other half nuts saying “look at this one!”. These things I have had stuffed under my bed are not Vera Wang…. they are the likes of Next and Monsoon. I can easily afford to buy new ones and I may never actually find the right occasion to wear them ever again. So the question I ended up asking myself was what the hell was I keeping them for in the first place? And the conclusion I have reached is simply that some small part of me had not given up on the hope that one day, somehow, I woul d be able to wear them again despite what seemed an impossible situation to change. The facts I have an underactive thyroid which when under treated includes but not limited to these symptoms:- Low metabolic rate, excessive tiredness, weight gain, hypoglycaemia. I have PCOS which includes the following – as well as messing up your body as a woman in other life enhancing ways whilst being ironically being told you need to lose weight to control your symptoms:- Difficulties with insulin, slower metabolic rate, disordered appetite control, irregular sometimes non-existent periods. These two complement each other as a weight gain disaster zone just perfectly. My struggle to lose or even just gain control of my weight and eating over the course of more than a decade has left its mark ( including stretch marks ) . Not least of which has been an ever deepening sense of failure every time my will power wasn’t enough to overcome the symptoms. On top of that I have a set of in grained coping techniques which would rival the energy levels of a sloth as my underactive thyroid was left undiagnosed for several years and I battled on trying to keep going despite feeling constantly drained. So its maybe understandable I also struggle with emotional and hiding eating behaviours every time I weigh myself or eat the “wrong” food. I remember physically trembling at my initial 121 transformation session with Beckie because even the idea of succeeding rather than failing was a terrifying alternate reality to contemplate. Or just maybe my blood sugar had crashed out beyond oblivion because it was over 2 hours since my last hit. The figuresOver 7 inches lost off my waist. A menstrual cycle reduction from 35 to a regular 28 days within the first 4 weeks and regularly 28 days every month thereafter. The weight lost – I have no clue and I don’t need to know. If this doesn’t seem dramatic enough change I refer you to the nearly mission impossible weight loss with PCOS / Hypothyroidism symptoms above. It’s such a mind expanding experience for me to even be able to make anykind of difference on what I weigh or choose to eat that I sometimes find hard to even really believe it myself and I am living it. This isn’t a 12 week transformation – it’s a rescripting of over 20 years battling my own mind and body.

I started my journey with Beckie over a 1-2-1 free phone call…. I had been single for 10 Months for the first time since I was at secondary school and had already lost a bit of weight but had totally hit a wall. I didn’t know where to go next or what to do next and I didn’t even really know where I wanted my career to go or whether to move to Australia. I had so many unknowns.
Beckie took me under her wing, as a client and as a friend! I got straight into training and absolutely loved it – she pushed me too my absolute max and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. Beckie literally became my sister; we spoke about everything from boys to food to clothes to making up names for gym moves and laughing at ourselves hysterically! Not only did I create a new lifestyle but I have been able to continue it.
I went from 67kg to 62kg in 8 weeks, got my hips, waist and bum back into shape! I have never felt more comfortable in my own skin and my confidence has sky rocketed. Beckie gave me the tools to go cold turkey and do this on my own for the last month where I have continued training and lost/toned up even more. I actually know more than some of the PTs in that gym I now go to!
Beckie understood me and my body and made me understand my self-worth and self-value. If anyone is going to empower you to progress and motivate you, Beckie is the gal for you!

I literally do not know where to begin.. I originally saw Beckie post about her new dance class, and I really wanted to go , but I felt to unconfident and was so worried I wasn’t good enough. I decided to Facebook message Beckie explaining the only reason I wasn’t going was because of how I felt, so we arranged to meet, that’s when this journey began. I didn’t realise how low I was until I finally opened up about things I haven’t spoken to anyone about. I was confident on the outside but on the inside I was always extremely anxious and felt so insecure. I knew I wasn’t ‘fat’ but I always would avoid looking in the mirrors in my house and would change my clothes more than 10 times before deciding what to wear because I didn’t like the way I looked or felt. All I used to look forward to was a Friday and Saturday night where I would spend all my money on alcohol and wouldn’t even remember my night anyway, then wake up with anxiety on a repetitive cycle! I honestly can’t believe how far I have come these last 12 weeks. My confidence has improved massively and I am FINALLY learning to put myself first. I am so happy 24/7 and I actually look forward to exercise now! I have made so many changes already and I can’t wait to carry on with my new lifestyle! Not only has Beckie been the best trainer, she has become a fab friend to! She has got my confidence back so I’m now back dancing and I LOVE IT. To make this experience even better, in our final meeting after my 12 weeks , I was ready to carry on without Beckie as I felt ready and confident enough to be able to carry on by myself., then she asked me the best question and gave me the biggest opportunity to be able to work as her Personal Assistant and I just cried with happiness!! I am so so happy she has given me the chance to do this and my family are also so grateful for Beckie and cannot believe how much I’ve changed and how happy I am, and that she has given me the opportunity to work for her and do something I am passionate about with her! She has made this start to my year amazing by offering me this and I cannot wait for the rest of this year and more being her Personal Assistant , BRING ON 2018!

Hey Beckie, Here are my final check in pictures. Not as good as my 6 weeks because I haven’t been able to do anything since! Rather than saying sorry for the last 2 weeks I want to thank you. You have taught me so much to make a healthy and fit lifestyle maintainable and in a way I can enjoy it. Not only have you helped me with physical changes to the shape of my body but you have helped me adjust my mentality towards it too. I now eat healthier and workout because I want to and because I enjoy it and feel better, rather than to keep up with society or for lack of confidence in my own body. I believe you once said “where your body wants to hold its fat, it will hold its fat” which was a turning point where I stopped worrying about what I looked like to other people, as long as I am healthy then that is good enough for me. My outlook on my lifestyle has definitely changed as I realise now that it takes time to adjust your body and your diet and that is not a bad thing. I used to go on crazy diets, lose loads of weight but it was not maintainable so I would put all the weight back on and go back to normal. After doing your 6 week programme i feel so much happier, fitter and healthier. I am so much more motivated in general, more awake in the mornings to give me longer days and so much more proactive! You and your programme have taught me loads about nutrition and effective workouts which makes having a healthy lifestyle so much easier. Before I was eating foods that didn’t keep me full for long enough so I would snack, and I would plod around the gym doing random exercises that didn’t really go together to give my body an effective workout. It has taught me to love my own body and to do what I enjoy. It has taught me that good results take time and that it is a lifestyle change and not a diet. After following your 6 week programme, I sleep more, drink more and actually eat more in most cases. Now I always considering the macros in my food when I pick them as I understand what is better for me. I never used to like salad and always preferred the naughty food options but now I actually want to pick healthier options and I enjoy eating them! I am always excited to go to the gym now because I feel so good afterwards and it makes me proactive and motivates me for the day. My workouts are also tougher but so much better now that I followed your plan so I always feel awesome after I have smashed a workout (or dead after 40 weight lunges!). I feel like I now know enough to maintain this programme forever, I know what I should eat and what I should be doing at the gym. My mindset is always adjusting more and more towards healthy choices of food and a positive outlook on everything but I know that it’ll take time as it has been a pretty big change to my diet, but this is the reason I know that I can keep it up because I realise now that it takes time to adjust completely if you want to maintain it. I have never met you but you have made such a difference to my life and I am so glad that I managed to stumble on your page. Thank you so much for giving up your time to help me take those extra steps. Your 6 week programme is amazing! Thank youuuuuu! Nieve x

In comparison to how I feel now to when I start started… I am SO much more confident in how to train properly and the way I look!
I’m so grateful to myself that I took the leap at the beginning.. the amount of time and stress I would put myself through worrying about macros and being tired from too much HIIT was so unsustainable.
It’s made me realise how much heavier I can lift which I definitely boosted my mental strength and how I can appreciate my small successes. I am so much more in-tune with what my macros my body works best with to function and when to make small changes to continue to see results. I’ve loved having the continuous support of Beckie and the other girls when things became challenging or if I was having a day of low motivation. I feel my initial fear of lifting heavy and having an injury has vanished as Beckie has shown me the exercise with the correct form which has aided me to building muscle massively!
This is 100% a life long change for me now. I understand how to train and eat around my goals!
I would definitely recommend this to anyone. I’d rate this experience with Beckie a 10/10. I’ve sustainably lost bodyfat and been able to build muscle every single week and have loved the entire process.
With my new found self-belief, a year from now I aim to see myself with more definition in my upper body and be able to do 10 reps of pull-ups!
Thank you Beckie and keep up your good work!

6 WEEK PROGRESS “Beckie,I don’t know how I can Thank you. The last 8 weeks have been the most amazing & challenging weeks ive had in a very long time. Id followed you for a while on facebook and saw the transformations of others girls you were working with and their amazing results, while I scrolled through the pictures thinking I wish I could look like there before pics let alone their after pics, whist I ate another slice of cake and sighed out in desperation. I thought I could never be like that, I could never have that determination to be fitter and healthy although I desperately longed to be.I realised I had hit my lowest, I didn’t want to get up, I couldn’t see the point in anything, I was slowly just giving up with no direction. Later that day I saw another post from you and thought THAT’S IT! I have to email you, I’ve got nothing to lose. So I nervously typed a long email, then deleted it then re-typed it and eventually hit send and I thought to myself OMG what have I done, ive just told you my horrible thoughts and feeling, suddenly I felt ashamed and embarrassed. I was shocked when you replied with such encouragement and a meeting the next day! I was petrified walking meeting up and still felt embarrassed from what I had told you in my email, but straight away I felt we just clicked I felt so comfortable and just didn’t stop talking, saying all these feelings out loud, I couldn’t believe myself! Then the training began, not going to lie that first session was a killer! But after that I can 100% I have enjoyed every session training with you. My mindset completely changed, we even brought our training sessions forward in the morning, I never usually used to get up till late, now I was asking to train first thing in the morning! After about week 4 I could see the measurements going down and down so I knew things were changing but I was struggling to see it in the mirror myself and started to feel a little disappointed, you were there straight away and you even took hours out of your day to just sit and talk in Costa, after that chat I felt so much brighter again, you made me realise exactly why I was doing this and I walked away with everything so much clearer and all written down.Shopping is now exciting, meal prep is a part of my life and I enjoy exercise! 3 things I NEVER thought I would EVER say EVERRR.Without you I can honestly say NONE of this would have been possible, you have helped me grow in confidence and shrink my waist! You’ve been my trainer, my counsellor, my confident and a friend.I’m so excited about the future now, I know that my body can change and I can achieve whatever I put my mind to, I am now one of those girls!Aimes xxxx”

I started training with Beckie because I’d lost my gym motivation and had 5 months out due to an ankle sprain so found it tough starting back. I’d gained a stone and lost all my fitness due to complete inactivity. I was a typical cardio queen before who loved spinning and never did any strength training other than the odd body pump class and my diet was appalling favoring wine, chocolate and takeaways!In just 7 weeks I’d lost 16 inches and considering I had little strength to begin with I feel a lot stronger, healthier and have alot more energy. Achieving the results I’ve had already is amazing considering I haven’t stuck to my training or nutrition plan 100% with weekend breaks away and work commitments it’s difficult. It’s definitely changed my mindset and eating habits, ensuring I’m consuming not only the right food but the right amount of food.Beckie is extremely knowledgeable and responsive, she’s an enthusiastic and motivational trainer and as much as I hate her at the time I look forward to our sessions!

Where do I even begin…. Beckie is a life saviour, she has literally turned my life around. I was going through a really tough time with a past of Anorexia, Body Dysmorphia and up until very recently BED (Binge Eating Disorder) – Yes, I know I was a mess! I thought entering a Bikini competition would help change that, and unfortunately it back fired. I had been following Beckie on Instagram for about a year. I looked up to her and she inspired me every single day. I finally met her out shopping one day… she was so kind, caring and down to earth and totally understood how I felt going through my competition prep. I have met a fair few people from social media in the fitness industry, who I follow and they are usually quite arrogant or fake, but Beckie was the complete opposite!
On 16th April 2016, I decided to withdraw my application to compete. My mindset was heading downhill and I started going back to the way of my Anorexia days and no time on stage is worth that! Beckie helped me overcome so many obstacles with my eating – especially binging!
I have had a fair few PT’s in my life, all of them were great don’t get me wrong. But Beckie just “got it”. Understanding what someone is going through plays a huge role, telling someone not to binge by saying ‘well… just don’t do it’, doesn’t really help! Instead, Beckie understood how hard it is to overcome these consuming battles.
Beckie is an absoulte gem! I always look forward to our training sessions as well as having a laugh! You can talk to her about anything and she will always be there for you – even when she is on holiday in New York!! She is extremely knowledgeable and a huge inspiration to me. Thank you so much Beckie for all you have done for me…. I wouldn’t be where I am now without you. THANK YOU!!!!

Training with Beckie allowed me to achieve results not just physically but mentally as well. Not only did I manage to change my body and lifestyle to reach a level that I just couldn’t achieve by myself in the gym, I gained a new sense of understanding about leading a healthy lifestyle and acquiring confidence in my body I have never had in my life. Beckie listened and trained me based on what worked for me and not just by a standard set of exercises, learning as I went what exercises worked what muscles and how to use equipment properly and differently, constantly switching it up to keep it new and interesting! Results were achieved in the first couple of months and I cannot wait to see what results can be achieved over a longer period of time!! I started with a genuine fear of the gym, a disliking towards my body and unknowing what I could do to change it, and Beckie helped me with all these aspects, making me the best I can be, and I couldn’t thank her enough!

So here it is… something I never truly believed I would be writing. For the past 12 years I have suffered with a binge eating disorder – a disorder where I would hide all of my food and consume thousands upon thousands of calories a day as a route of distraction and to comfort myself from my worries. My rubbish bin would be full of old wrappers which I would try and hide from everyone so that they didn’t know I was eating. My family would try their hardest by cooking me healthy meals and encouraging me to exercise. I accepted their help and would eat healthy meals – little did they know about my “little secret” and me eating whatever I wanted behind closed doors. At the age of 21 with a height of 6 foot I weighed a staggering 25 stone. I was physically trapped in a cycle of depression which made me eat – which made me larger – which made me more depressed so I ate.With the support of my family and friends I joined a diet group whilst at university which gave me some success and I lost 5 stone – which took me down to 20 stone. It was at that point I reached out and asked for help from counsellors. After having counselling for over a year with two different people – I can honesty say I didn’t feel any different. At this point I had practically given up. I used to say to myself – “maybe I was just born to be big .. people like your personality that is what matters” .. This is when I was recommended by a close friend to start working with Beckie. When I first met her for a coffee I felt that we instantly clicked. I felt like she already knew me and there was something about her which I knew was special. I was sat there petrified at the table – nervous to express my feelings and nervous to begin the journey with her as I had “failed” so many times before. Beckie recommended I did a 12 week VIP programme with her which involved constant contact and photographing everything I ate and drank – weekly photographs and measurements of my body and 2 training sessions with her a week. This also entailed driving for 5 hours each week just to go and see her and train with her.I took on the 12 week challenge….. and the results? Well see for yourselves…- 32 inches off my whole body- 2 stone loss – a completely different mindset and feeling towards myself- a love of exercise which I have never had before – lifting weights that most people could only dream of- making family and friends proud- finding myself … and the list carries on.I could not be more grateful towards Beckie and all that we have achieved together in 2016. In January 2017 I will be starting my final 12 week programme with Beckie and I can’t wait to see even more results in the next 3 months.Beckie is truly my inspiration and I would like to thank her for truly changing my life and helping me to achieve my goals.

Right Miss Hughes, where do I start.. So I still can’t believe we are somehow in March already! I remember the day we first started chatting, the first day of a new chapter in my life. I was sick of being what I called ‘skinny fat’, unknowingly fuelling my ‘no shape of a body’ with the wrong foods while stupidly trying to restrict myself, binging, feeling guilty, then hating myself and restricting again – that vicious circle ay. I have to admit, I was the ultimate ‘carb monster’ (although still am a lil bit฀฀). After desperately looking for help last September, all the time following beckie for years but not having the confidence or will power to shout out, I spoke with beckie on the phone and we just clicked, she got me. Everything I was saying, she could relate to, it was a MASSIVE sigh of relief.. After loads of advice, tears and laughter while improving my knowledge of nutrition and creating a better lifestyle for myself, beckie has been there every step of the way, even sending voice notes at god knows what time after I’d blacked out in the night฀ any questions, beckie will know the answers, wanna cry? Cry. Wanna treat? Have a treat, don’t restrict yourself, but remember it’s only a treat, a treat, not a ‘cheat’ as I used to think. My boxy ‘skinny fat’ frame as I used to call it, is slowly become a curvier but leaner and most importantly, healthier me. From being an emotional wreck all the time, having a ridiculously poor immune system, low white blood cell count, constant infections/viruses, always feeling tired, exhausted after walking up the stairs, bad skin, brittle nails, dull hair, anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, scoliosis, dizziness, fainting, low BMI, extremely low blood pressure, and mentally as well as physically weak body, my mindset has literally come from a minus 1 to at least a good 7 right now.. Don’t get me wrong, I have so so so much more to learn with this girl, but I cannot thank her enough for how far I have already come physically and mentally. To this day, I’m starting to get butterflies coming home to see my body tranforming the way I want it to look and feel for the first time EVER. I have reached the first 50% of my goal and the rest, I know with Beckie’s help, is going to strengthen me physically and mentally. I am slowly starting to love myself again, have confidence in me, have a laugh, be motivated and inspired daily to grow and challenge myself, and that, well, it feels amazing. Anyway, I could ramble on for hours here, but I have learnt so much and grown as a person in the last 6 months, god knows how much.. This experience has been in two words, ‘THE BEST’. ps I’m having so much fun building a #bootybybeckie!

When I first met Beckie I was in quite a vulnerable state – emotionally and physically. I knew where I wanted to be and I had tried so many times to get there but I always found my self being inconsistent. In the last 6 months for the first time I have managed to stick to a diet/ exercise regime – which is slowly becoming a lifestyle. I still have days where I don’t want to exercise and where my diet is not 100% but I now know how it feels to be consistent and when I do have off days I can see how rubbish I feel which makes me want to never eat anything bad again! I have worked hard on building myself up emotionally and physically, the only regret I have is not finding Beckie sooner! Although I still feel I need support from Beckie I am much more confident with going forward with my new fitness and lifestyle routine and staying consistent in this. Above all Beckie has become a great friend and I know I can always turn to her if I need a kick up the ass!

I started training with you, unhappy, mentally broken, overweight and with a bad relationship with my food and nutrition. I’d gone on countless diets, but had fallen back into my bad habits every single time.It got to a point where I had looked in the mirror and didn’t even recognise myself so obviously got really upset, that’s when I said to myself I needed to change. Having trained with you physically and mentally, you’ve really changed my life. I now go to the gym 6 days a week, and eat pretty well. I’m also a lot happier mentally and physically and understand nutrition and what to do when i go into the gym. I’ve lost a lot of weight, but the absolute best thing i’ve loved is how everyone has said how good and happy i look. Really couldn’t have done it without you and i’d definitely recommend you to anyone looking to change their lifestyle.
