- Nick Hutchings from Men's Fitness drops 5.8% body fat in 8 weeks
In eight weeks Dave Fletcher reduced my bodyfat by 5.8% to reach my lowest ever reading of 7%. He got me to pack on a kilogram of muscle, dropped my overall bodyweight and showed me, a man who's been strength training and writing about it for one of the UK's biggest fitness publications for more ...
Some people thought I was mad travelling over 200 miles, to see ‘just another personal trainer’ but I had heard such good things, I thought it was worth a try. I am a keen amateur runner, but had found that my running was becoming slower, my legs were tired as soon as I set off, my endurance was non existent and I just couldn’t run at all first thing in a morning which was causing problems as most races start first thing in a morning and I was becoming very disheartened. I had followed what I thought was a healthy diet, suitable for running and a standard gym routine.
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I saw Dave, but I was amazed at how different he was from other trainers. His assessment was truly eye opening, Dave asked a few questions and took some measurements and then explained that I had some hormonal imbalances, which foods worked and didn’t work for me and suddenly things started to click into place.
We went on to prepare a tailor made exercise programme for me, which took into consideration my weaknesses and tailor made exercises that would improve my running and also generally improve my bodyshape, strength and fitness.
I returned home and followed the exercise routine and made some tweaks to my diet and no it didn’t involve massive changes, starvation or counting points!. It really was a just some minor changes to foods that suited me as an individual and I even feel like I am eating more.
Within a matter of days I started to notice a difference in my energy levels and within a few weeks I could see and feel a massive improvement in my running and I was able to increase my mileage from just a few miles to completing a 10 mile run with a personal best time, first thing in the morning, with a niggling injury and all within 2 months of seeing Dave.
As an added bonus I have also lost 6% body weight in just two months and I will be honest that has included a few indulgent party weekends and events, imagine what I could have achieved!
Dave isn’t just another personal trainer, his knowledge and all-inclusive approach to health and fitness is what makes the difference. I just need to find a way to clone him now and move him ‘up north’!
