Grace B. – December ’24
Starting Weight | 59.5kgs
Finishing Weight | 60.4kgs
Why did you decide to join the challenge?
I joined the challenge to see just how much my body could transform in 6 weeks. I aimed to focus on my exercise routine and diet to boost my muscle growth and improve my overall body composition.
What made the biggest impact on your results?
The biggest impact on my results was definitely my commitment to consistent exercise and ensuring I hit my protein goals each day. By sticking to a structured workout routine and being mindful of what I was eating, I noticed significant changes in my body composition in particular muscle growth and fat loss.
What advice would you give someone looking to get started on their own challenge?
If someone is looking to get started on their challenge, I would advise them to set clear and realistic goals. It is important to stay committed and consistent, even when your motivation decreases. Also, don’t be afraid to track your progress with taking measurements to help you stay accountable and motivated throughout the entire 6 weeks.
Aimee D. – June ’24
Starting Weight | 69.7kgs
Finishing Weight | 65.8kgs
Why did you decide to join the challenge?
The challenge is a great motivation to continue to work towards my weight loss goal. Having a challenge with a fixed timeframe encourages you to ‘go hard’, set a goal that is short-term reachable and work to it.
What made the biggest impact on your results?
The part that actually had the biggest impact for me was comparing the progress photos. I don’t enjoy taking progress photos – they can be quite daunting – however when you work through the challenge and take those check-in photos and actually see how much your body has changed in the short amount of time, it really motivates you to keep going and keep working hard. Being able to see the progress beyond just numbers on the scales made me really proud and I guess the challenge really made me step outside my comfort zone, take the progress photos and now I’m able to look back and see what a great achievement it was.
What advice would you give someone looking to get started on their own challenge?
Don’t get disheartened by days where you don’t see a change on the scales – or in whatever your goal is. Keep working and the results will come. And just do it! The hardest part is just getting started and taking that first step.
Becky H. – March ’24
Starting Weight | 86.5kgs
Finishing Weight | 85.5kgs
Why did you decide to join the challenge?
I put on 7kg since over Nov & December having eating and drinking too much over the Summer & festive period. I always wanted to get better at lifting weights but found gyms a bit too intimidating to attend regularly for anything other the cardio. I saw a promo for the 6 week challenge at Duke’s and thought it would be the perfect opportunity to get in shape with the help of a PT providing guidance and support so I could learn to use the equipment properly. I was also impressed that Duke’s has a ‘female only’ section! I didn’t weigh myself through the challenge as I find it disheartening and have a tendency to obsess over the number of the scales and this made a difference too. I didn’t lose as much weight as hoped but I can see & feel the difference in my body and confidence. Thank you to Mike for all your help and support over the last 6 weeks – especially for a novice like me who was learning how to use all the gym equipment from scratch.
What made the biggest impact on your results?
Consistency- I could see myself getting stronger each week by increase the amount of weight I could lift. Support of having a weekly session with Mike and having him at the end of the app for advice. Not weighing myself and obsessing over the number on the scales on a weekly basis!
What advice would you give someone looking to get started on their own challenge?
Go for it & trust the process. It will be worth it at the end and you will learn so much more about your body and what you are capable of!
Eric H. – December ’23
Starting Weight | 65.4kgs
Finishing Weight | 68.1kgs
Why did you decide to join the challenge?
I wanted to see if I committed to something, would I start seeing results that I haven’t been able to see by myself
What made the biggest impact on your results?
Having a coach like Danny who pushed me outside of my comfort zone and kept me accountable. Not only in the gym but outside of the gym too!
What advice would you give someone looking to get started on their own challenge?
Make sure you put 100% into the challenge. This was my third attempt, I gave it everything I could and I am proud of how much improvement I made when being committed to a plan. If I can do it, you can too!

What made the biggest impact on your results?
Eating low cal/high protein meals and smashing the tready for 45+ mins a day

Book in with a trainer! I couldn’t have done it without Patrick bringing the knowledge, motivation and fun to every session. Convince a friend to join you too so you can keep each other accountable
