Success Stories
Mr Ward
My before photos tell the story. I was 39 with the body of man who no longer gave a damn. My cholesterol levels were way too high, blood pressure way too high, and scale weight was at 111.8kg. I was a sad reflection of what I had once been.
It was a trip to the GP that was the turning point for me. After receiving the bad news from my doctor about my health I said to her ‘would you believe just 5 years ago I was a trim fit aerobics instructor’. She looked at my body and said ‘no’. At that humiliating moment I knew I had to change.
Mr Williams
Due to lack of exercise and poor nutrition, I knew I had to do something to regain my health. Over the past years my weight had soared along with the poor health, bad sleeping and lack of energy associated with it. I heard about the Fat Man Slim course from a sibling who told me about this new course aimed at men who wished to regain health and fitness.
It was the best decision I have ever made. I tipped the scales at 130kg when I began. It was the heaviest I had ever been and knew it was time to take care of myself. So I enrolled and started my journey to get myself right. The first 6 week Fat Man Slim course I lost 14.9kg body weight and 11.1kg of fat.
Mr Reid (Father)
Being 44 years old and over weight for the majority of it, I have struggled to find an eating and exercise plan that would suit my needs. Having arthritis in the knees I can’t do the “bouncy bouncy aerobic” thing, so when I read of FATMANSLIM’S boxing exercise class I thought I’d give it a go.
I started at an embarrassing 142.5kg’s the heaviest I have ever been. The trainings were hard but a lot of fun, so much so that my son and I did two 6 weeks challenges back to back, and we’re still going.
Mr Reid (Son)
After several years of trying diets and some minor exercise my dad approached me and asked if i would like to join FMS with him. After some thought about it i joined just to check it out thinking that it would be just like every other programme i have tried.
I was indeed proven well wrong in this matter as i found the classes very enjoyable and never the same. I have done FMS now for the last 14 weeks and lost a total of 26.5kgs which i proudly say is the most i have ever lost.
FMS helped introduce a very agreeable nutrition programme which i would never call a diet but a healthy well balanced lifestyle menu. The workout programmes have been fabulous and i could not see myself lasting that long in any other programme.
Mr Williams
As an ordained minister of the church and being a fulltime student, I lead a busy, stressful life style. Topping the scale at 160kg, I was a living time bomb ready to explode, physically, mentally and emotionally, I was on the edge of a “burn-out.” However, one day I responded to an advertisement in the Western Leader regarding FMS. I made the move and I was hooked on it.
I have reduced my weight from 160kg to 146kg within six weeks and my fitness had increased to a very surprising level. I can walk 6km in the morning and my whole life style had change that includes sleeping well at night, focussing on my study well, and most of all I feel good physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
Mr Ellis
My interest in attending Fat Man Slim was due to a desire to lose weight and improve my fitness. I have come to realise that it is very hard to maintain motivation on your own and having a group of like-minded individuals to train with and trainers who are great at providing that extra bit of support and motivation when the going gets tough makes all the difference.
I found the two six week courses that I completed to be great fun, the group of guys all supported each other and the trainers were awesome, driving us all very hard but at the same time ensuring no one felt pressured to do something that they were incapable of or uncomfortable with. The element of competition and variety of exercises that were part of the Challenge kept things interesting.
Mr Ransfield
I’m a 49-year-old self-employed tradesman, my partner Les and I run a small business with 4 staff members. From age 7 until 39 I played and coached team sports, the last few years at international age group level.
But in the last 10 years I’ve done little in the way of exercise, eating and drinking as I had before I put on 20 kg’s plus of fat and could barely pick myself off the couch apparently. My family’s health history isn’t great; my mother reached 49, younger brother 29 and father the ripe old age of 62.
Mr Osborn
I felt that I had to do something. I was feeling unhealthy, my partner was complaining about my size and the beer gut just doesn’t look good. I didn’t want to just go to a gym and work out solo as I knew I would soon get bored.
I heard about Fat Man Slim and decided to give it a go. Its been great! I’ve lost over 12kg of weight and over 10kg of body fat. I enjoy the group training sessions - I’ve never sweated so much! All of the guys are there for the same reason - to become healthier, fitter and to feel good about themselves.
Mr Willoughby
I knew quite some time ago that if I wanted to keep up with all my Childs energy I needed to do something about the extra pounds I have put on over the last 5 years in particular.
I had the opportunity to participate in the first Fat Man Slim class and have no regrets. I was extremely unfit and was quite apprehensive about doing all this exercise however, Sam and Ursh were great and the other men in the class were very supportive.
Mr Bravery
I needed to get fast fat loss results, which did not seem to be happening at my gym! My wife recommended that I check out Fat Man Slim & she put my name down for the presentation evening. I found the classes to be tougher than the gym, but a lot of fun.
I lost over 4 Kg of body fat lost in 6 weeks. Each class made me push myself harder than the previous class. I could feel that different muscle groups were being targeted each time. With the fat loss & muscle gain, I have increased stamina & a better sense of general well being.
Mr Silk
I joined FMS after my wife pointed out the things that would happen to me if I did not. I was not overweight but definitely needed to get fit and tone up. The guys I trained with were really great though Sam and Ursh did not care if we felt we could not go on any more and wanted to stop, they managed to push us to our limits – Thank you.
The results I achieved were well above what I expected. I lost weight, blood pressure way down and fitness levels really great. The weight has stayed off after changing my eating habits as outlined by FMS. I am looking forward to doing the challenge again as I want to achieve a six pack.
