Fat Loss – Body Transformation – Advanced Nutrition

This is absolutely a phenomenal success story: a client of mine, Ruth had 29.6% body fat on May 20, 2010. On Tuesday, she was measured (skinfold calipers) at 19.6%.

In itself, the 10% body fat drop in 6-7 weeks is amazing. But there’s another catch: Ruth is 58 years old…

Never too old. Never too young. Never too busy.

Make NO excuses – extreme body transformation and fat loss is possible for anyone!

Happy Independence Day, everyone!

Here are a couple of very motivating pics of an amazing client transformation. These pics were taken 5 months apart, in which time Deron lost over 50lbs and more than 10″ off of his abdominal circumference.

Word of mouth is a huge part of my business and is the best compliment that I can receive as a personal trainer. I feel that any personal trainer should be willing and ready to provide references – I will go as far as giving a potential client the opportunity to meet with any of my clients face to face to ask them absolutely anything they want about their programs, how I am to work with and the progress they have made.

While many individuals choose to hire me as a personal trainer because of my qualifications, education and numerous certifications, my excellent track record of helping people drastically transform their bodies is the reason why my services are in such high demand. (Check out my Testimonials page for some amazing stories and pictures.

Last week, I posted this amazing video testimonial from my client, Courtney. And yes, she will be doing more push ups. ;)

Here are two more testimonials that I received from clients that I’d like to share.

I was referred to Boyd by a close friend that had been using his services with great results. I had watched her drastic transformation and was immediately intrigued. She initially gave me his website and I started reading his blog and asking her as much as possible about how he works and what to expect. After several weeks, I finally made the call that changed my life. I had tried to lose weight and change the way I look several times, and why I consider myself a disciplined person, something obviously wasn’t working. Boyd is direct and gets to the point about what you need to do to reach your goals. One thing that he said that stuck with me is that he would always tell me what I need to hear, whether that was what I wanted to hear or not. With Boyd, there is no guesswork. The plan was laid out in front of me and his approach is understandable and makes sense. He is a walking fitness and nutrition encyclopedia and can answer any question you may have about training, nutrition and supplementation in a way that you completely understand. Every workout became progressively more challenging, and my body began transforming immediately. My entire paradigm about weight training and losing weight completely changed: I became stronger every workout and leaner every week. I had always believed that training intensely with weights would make me big and bulky, yet, I am now as lean as I have ever been. My long term goals (6-12 months) were accomplished in 2-3 months. Things that I thought were completely unattainable have been attained. Six months ago, I wasn’t comfortable wearing a sleeveless blouse. Today, I am preparing to compete in a figure competition in the Fall. I am a mother of 3 and have a very busy life, but Boyd has taught me how to make health and fitness a part of my life, not just something I do. My advice to anyone in San Antonio that his looking for a personal trainer is to call Boyd and give him control, you will not be sorry.
Thank you, Boyd!

I was at a breaking point and had very little faith that I was capable of doing what I needed to do to change my body. I had been active my entire life, but now as a new mother with a stressful job and seemingly no time, I had worked with other trainers in the past with marginal success. I decided to meet with Personal Fitness Revolution owner Boyd Myers, and have never regretted it. He was very direct with me about what I could expect, explaining that it would require dedication and discipline. He explained where my pitfalls were and what we were going to do to change them. Whenever I had a question, he was a quick email, text or phone call away. Every workout was extremely challenging, as he told me it would be. He pushed and pushed. Not aimlessly, but in a way that I would never push myself. How did I respond? I simply wanted more. I wanted every day to be a workout day. I looked forward to measurement day. I could feel the changes and while the physical changes were nice, I felt like a new person: new confidence, new energy, a new life. The plan was laid out in front of me, so I never had to guess. As I made progress, he modified my regimen and explained what he was changing and why. In 16 weeks I went from a 39″ abdominal circumference to 27″. I lost over 40lbs of body fat (and gained a little muscle) and am now more toned and defined than I ever thought possible. People now refer to ME as a gym rat – I’m anything but!!! Boyd, I can never say enough about what you have given me. You’re a role model (hey, when you’re getting ready for a show, I feel as if I’m going through it as well) and a great teacher. You’re always professional and I never hesitate to tell people about your services. If you are looking for serious results, don’t put this off. His value cannot be explained, and he is the best personal trainer in San Antonio!

As I often say to every client that gives me praise: I provided the guidance, but YOU did the work. I am very grateful for the kind words, but I am more grateful for the privilege and opportunity to train people that are serious about their goals.

This is my client Courtney, who has been working with me for just over a year. Below is her video and then her written testimonial, neither of which I can come close to doing justice by commenting on them. Courtney, you’ve been amazing to work with and I’m so very proud of the progress you have made. You’ve been a model client from the start, and an inspiration to everyone that has watched your progress.

Please take a second to watch her video and read her amazing body transformation success story, as it is very inspiring.

Courtney’s written testimonial:
I started training with Boyd 4 weeks to the day after my third baby was born. I was almost 40% body fat with no athletic experience, and desperately wanting to be the girl I always admired in my thin, healthy friends. The first day I consulted with him, I could see in his eyes that he already saw me as that girl. He was the first person to look at me for who I could be, and all he needed to do was take my motivation and combine it with his abundant knowledge of fitness and nutrition. He knew what I didn’t, that all of my goals were achievable with a little determination and a lot of sweat.

Over a year later, I’m down to 16% body fat and I can do things I’d never dreamed of. I couldn’t do one body squat before, now I squat with 45 lb plates on each side of the bar. I couldn’t do a lunge, now I can do 60 each leg in one set. I can leg press over 300 lbs. More importantly, I can wear shorts. I can smile at myself in the mirror. I can go out in public in my workout clothes, sweaty and red-faced, because I don’t care what anyone thinks. I know who I am now. I’m that girl that Boyd saw, hidden under 40% body fat and a thick layer of insecurities.

Boyd is my trainer because he believes in his clients. His holistic approach to changing your entire life and shaping you into the person you want to be is earth-moving. He invests himself wholly into each client. I see people walk in and out of his studio, looking up to him with such admiration because of the way he makes them feel. I know that look well.

Any trainer can show you how to bench press, how to use an elliptical machine, or how to eat vegetables instead of French fries. It might even work too. I’ll take my experience with Boyd over any trainer in this world. My whole life has changed, he has completely shifted my reality, and now I’m a different person because of him. He is an expert and deserves recognition for his work, with me and everyone else he’s encountered.

Boyd, thank you. You are the greatest decision I ever made. You’ve been with me since that first, awful attempt at a body squat and I appreciate that you’ve never made me feel embarrassed or out of place at your studio. You empower me and I am lucky to have you!

Hey San Antonio,

Here’s a video of my client Andy dead lifting 225 for 12 reps at 170lbs of bodyweight. The impressive thing? He couldn’t do one single solitary push up. Not even ONE. He seriously struggled with bodyweight squats when he first started! Here are some pics of him when he first started… He’s down 50lbs and more than 10″ on his abdominal circumference.

Awesome work, Andy!!!

Hey San Antonio,

Just wanted to give a little credit to a client who is absolutely killing it!

Rey started training with me three weeks ago today. The first thing he told me was that he’s ready to do whatever it takes and will follow my directions to an absolute “T”. He did, and in three weeks he has dropped 3 3/4 inches off his waist. I have him doing nothing drastic, he doesn’t starve, and he isn’t spending hours on a cardio machine. He does work his ass off when he’s working out (quality over quantity) and does exactly what he’s supposed to do in the kitchen.

Rey, this is just the beginning – be proud of what you have accomplished, and be excited for the progress you’re going to make. When you’re down ten inches in the abdominal circumference (in a few weeks), this will seem like it was a decade ago, but it will happen before you know it!

Awesome job!

Hey San Antonio,

A video of my client Chade with 700lbs on the leg press. A few months ago, one plate on each side was enough to burn him out. Now? The machine is completely full – his body fat keeps going lower and lower, while his abs become more and more visible.

Way to go Chade, great work (note – his workout partner Andy duplicated the feat with a set of his own for 20 reps)!

Hey San Antonio,

Here’s another impressive bit of strength from a workout today.

First is Kwani deadlifting 185lbs. She is by NO MEANS big and bulky (by the way, this was more than 40 minutes into the workout…)

Second vid is a couple of reps of squats for 135 reps (bottomed on the safety rails on the last rep) and then 3 chin ups. For the record, the machine she is squatting on is not a typical smith machine – it has front to back movement (as well as vertical movement).

Nice work, Doctor!

Hey San Antonio,

Just took this video of my client Julie performing dead lifts with her body weight (135lbs). She has only been deadlifting for just over two weeks, which makes this video more impressive. She’s an elementary school teacher, and I’m sure that 135lbs is more than most of her kids way (students beware!). This video was filmed on my webcam, so I apologize for the quality.

And for those women who are worried about getting big and bulky? Julie is rapidly dropping body fat and is looking more and more defined week after week, NOT getting big and bulky by any means!

If your personal trainer has you doing isolation exercise after isolation exercise, followed by a few little machines and maybe some assistance work, you’re being ripped off. Of course, you have to crawl before you walk, but hopefully, your personal trainer has developed a program that focuses on compound exercises that improve functionality and overall strength.

Stop wasting your time – there’s a reason it’s called WORKING out!
