I saw a friend’s before and after photos on fb and was stunned by the changes she’d achieved in a short space of time. I originally gave myself loads of reasons as to why it wasn’t for me – I’m too busy, I can’t dedicate that much time to getting fit, it’s too intimidating, I’m too tired after work, I should put my kids first etc etc… But I was unhappy with how I looked and how much weight I had gained after having two kids; I was lethargic, demotivated and suffering stress and anxiety with work. I’m an English teacher and at times it can be a very demanding and challenging job. I work a lot of hours and when I’m not working I’m looking after my two children. With my husband’s support though, I got the courage to come in for my orientation and I haven’t looked back.

Joining TF has genuinely changed my life – I dislocated my knee years ago and had always had recurring pain from that. I’d been a member of several gyms in Leicester and done mostly group classes like spinning, cardio combat and body pump. I enjoyed exercise but never stuck to it and wasn’t going regularly or seeing any results from the training. When I compare it to what I do now at TF, I can see why. I didn’t understand how important nutrition was, I didn’t have one to one expert advice about form/how to do the movement properly/lift the right kind of weight/push myself… I had also done Slimming World but eventually lost interest in that as I didn’t want to control my weight loss solely through diet – I didn’t see that as sustainable and I knew I’d just get thinner, not fitter. With TF, the advice I’ve had from Rob on nutrition has been incredible and it’s sped up my results significantly. It’s helped me be more knowledgeable about the foods/vitamins/minerals etc I need and I’ve radically changed my diet as a result.

I’ve now got to the stage where I’m the fittest I’ve ever been. I ran my first 5k parkrun which I never thought I could do with my knee, but by strengthening the muscles around my kneecap, I have absolutely no trouble any more from it. I have more energy; I’m happier; it’s like a weight has been lifted because I’m happy with myself and how I look. People notice all the time and comment on how healthy I’m looking which just spurs me on more. It’s not about being thinner for me but about being fitter, stronger, having a better physique.
I’ve also made a huge number of friends and love the community spirit of TF – it’s like no other gym I’d ever belonged to. I love training in small groups and have benefitted from the support, encouragement and social element that’s missing when you train alone. TF’s events also keep me motivated and keep the enjoyment element in exercise. The Winter Olympics was my favourite – I achieved much more than I thought I ever could and loved the extra level of hype and energy in the gym during the two weeks of group competitions.

I always want to get to the gym and never see it as a chore like I used to. Now exercise is built into my lifestyle and it’s something I’ve managed to maintain for nearly 10 months now. It’s sustainable and a lifestyle change I want to keep up. I’m proud to be a role model to my kids who are welcome in the gym any time and have come along to the family-friendly events, seen me train and now see exercise as an integral part of life which can only be a positive thing.

For how it’s changed me physically, my body shape has changed; I’m much stronger; I’ve got more muscle definition and dropped about 2 stones – can you check what the weight loss is as I cant remember (I’m now 65.3) – waist is 80cm – dropped 3 dress sizes! I also sleep better and one major effect I didn’t foresee is that I feel like I can cope much more easily with any challenges at work or in life because I’m in a good place both mentally as well as physically.”

I’ve just completed the 6 week case study with Transformation Fit. I can’t recommend these guys enough. The results I got speak for themselves- in just 6 weeks I lost 18 lbs of weight and a staggering 8 inches around my waste! I trained with every single trainer they have and all have a great knowledge of their trade to get the results you’ll seek. To sum Transformation Fit up – a great place, great people- staggering results. What else can you ask for!

Starting here in February 2019. Can honestly say coming here has been one of the best things I have ever done (and this comes from someone who didn’t think he would ever say that about a gym). There is a wonderful community of people, and the trainers are fantastic – supportive and inspirational. Their nutrition plans really work, and I’ve lost more than three stone. I am the fittest and strongest I have been in nearly 30 years. Thanks!

I absolutely love transformation fit and the crew! Very professional, likeable and approachable. It’s amazing how my body shape has changed in just 6 weeks. I am very focused and concentrated on healthy eating now because I know how to do it.

They helped me to overcome my own weaknesses and I became stronger, more confident, I have more energy & I have lost weight. They don’t only make you lose some kilograms – they teach you how to live healthier, they push you to the limits but trust me it’s done for a reason.

I think I don’t have to stress how much I love this place and people. And for that reason I decided to stay with them for little longer – I believe my journey has only just started – thank you TF!

I joined Transformation Fit in August 2016. I’d previously been hospitalised with sepsis and pneumonia and my muscles were weak, I was out of shape and didn’t have much confidence in my appearance.

Jack and Rob have trained me over the months and given me nutritional advice to help build my strength and trim up my body. Their encouragement and dedication to pushing me during the sessions have been fantastic and along with the other lovely clients I train with, I never want to miss a session! In January I set a goal (well, Jack set it. You don’t have freedom of choice ) to lose one and a half stone and I achieved it!!

I feel so much stronger, leaner and more confident! Thanks Transformation Fit couldn’t have done it without you!

Eighteen months ago I joined Transformation fit after ten years of not being as active as in my younger days, several pounds heavier and lacking in fitness.

Suffering from Asthma my breathing capacity was reducing and the doctors warned me that I was in danger of developing COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease).

I owe a huge thanks to the team at Transformation Fit for the remarkable difference in my health today.

With an easy to follow diet plan and two training sessions of 45 minutes a week, I have transformed my body and health.

I’m now 7.5KG lighter, my breathing capacity is improved beyond recognition and I managed to run 5km in 22 minutes which I could NEVER have done 18 months ago.

I want to give a big thanks to the members of the team that train me for all their hard work and constantly pushing me beyond where I believe I’m capable of.

For anyone thinking that at age 45 they are not in the shape they feel they should then get yourself down to Transformation Fit, you will not regret it!!

I’ve been utterly impressed with what the team at Transformation Fit have been able to achieve in 3 months. Of course I’ve had to turn up and put the work in, but they’ve made it welcoming, enjoyable, interesting and challenging every time I train.

They’ve tailored the workouts and diet to what works for me and delivered some excellent results. It’s fair to say that I’m quicker, leaner, stronger and fitter than when I joined. As a guy that did half-marathons, went to the gym every day and kick boxing twice a week, that’s a pretty impressive feat. They’ve exceeded my expectations and I‘m honestly excited to see where I’ll be in a further three months!

My goal when joining Transformation Fit 3 months ago was to try and shift some of my uni weight. I didn’t expect to be going back to uni over a stone lighter and looking so much better! After enjoying my 21 days so much I decided to stay for 3 months and it was the best decision I ever made. I wouldn’t look and feel how I do now without the constant help from Rob, Jack and Josh.

I may have been killed off every session but they pushed me to limits and weights that I didn’t think I was capable of reaching but did. I am 10 times stronger now than I was before and so much fitter and I couldn’t have done it without the help of my trainers. I was made to feel so welcome from day 1 and the sessions were always enjoyable and different which is definitely what kept me interested.

My time with Transformation Fit was great and truly worth it for the results that I have come out with and I hope to come back again after graduating from university in a years time.

Couldn’t have asked for more likeable or motivating personal trainers. I spent a long time frustratingly struggling with my weight and not noticing the effect it was having on my personality and mood. After speaking to Transformation Fit a diet plan was agreed which helped me cut down around 3 stones of fat before even looking at a gym. Transformation Fit introduced me to the gym and introducing me to weight lifting, I really started to shred fat and see the results. Going to the gym is now one of my favourite hobbies too!

After approximately 8 months I went from 19 stone to just over 13 stone, which is astonishing and shows great credit to the care and attention Transformation Fit paid to my diet and training. Over a year later I will still regularly seek advice from Transformation Fit and now live off the principles which they taught me, which in turn has helped me to keep in a much more healthy and energetic state. Couldn’t imagine anyone achieving these results with me other than Transformation Fit. I’m happier and fitter than ever before. Thanks so much for your help!

Very professional, personal training at its best. We had a nutrition plan which was based around what we like eating and our individual eating habits. I could see results in a short space of time and became more active and had more energy and was no longer feeling sluggish at the end of the working day, this meant I could still give my kids the active dad they needed each evening. So besides my body changing for the better it has also improved my day to day routines. Definitely life changing and worth every penny.

Dear Josh,

I would just like to express my thanks for your help in getting me fit and healthy again.

I’ve suffered with a back and a knee injury for many years, not helped by working off ladders on steep roofs, or in confined loft spaces. Last September I started working with your colleague, Jack, to improve my fitness with specific regard to strengthening these two areas.

We are now 9 months into the fitness program, and I am very impressed with the results. I have not had a problem with either my back or my knee in all this time, and have in addition greatly improved my general fitness levels.

Your training sessions, combined with sticking to a better diet, slightly less alcohol (!), and more cycling in my own time have also resulted in me losing no weight at all, but still losing 2 inches from my waist.

Your gym sessions have yielded far greater results than I would have thought possible from only 1 or 2 hours attendance a week and I would certainly recommend you to other friends and colleagues.

After nearly 3 weeks of 3 x 30 min sessions and healthy eating i got back into my skinnies today… A long way to go but just seeing this transformation after just 3 weeks is amazing.

Dear Josh,

Well, I am now 9 months into my training and nutrition regime with you , and wanted to update my testimonial as the results just keep on coming! To think thats what’s been achieved has happened with only 2×45 minute sessions per week has amazed me!

Total weight loss now stands at 25lbs, just shy of 2 stones and I have taken 6.5 inches off my waist. I’m continuing to get stronger, hitting new personal bests in the weights I’m lifting, being very close to hitting 1.5x my body weight on the main compound movements.

Equally amazing though is the change in my physique, which without a doubt is the best shape its ever been in! And to think that I’ve achieved it in just 9 months , having not managed to do it in the preceding 30 years despite all my best efforts to do so.

I have to give massive thanks for the help, guidance, support and encouragement that both, Jack and yourself have given me enabling me to achieve what I have so far.

I have absolutely no hesitation whatsoever in recommending your services and proactively trying to promote your business to friends, family and colleagues at every opportunity I have.

May my good results continue to roll in, and at the same time can I wish you continued success for the future of your business.

Warm regards

So I just wanted to say a big thank you to Josh Rylatt at TransformationFit who helped me prepare for Fit Factor At Bodypower (a bikini fitness competition). Given that we only had 8 weeks in the end and I had barely hit the gym all winter it was pretty tight. I have to admit I was pretty sceptical in the beginning, & was not the easiest client. Josh completely changed my training plan & diet over 8 weeks. Trebled my carb intake upped my calories by 350 per week & cut me to 4 days training per week, in the first 10 days I lost 2lbs. Over 3 weeks I went from 62 to 59 kilos & stayed steady at that for the rest of the time. I competed on Saturday at 59 kilos and had a noticeable increase in size and definition from the time we started. Calories were reduced gradually over the time & I was never hungry once. Normally it would take about 16 weeks to prep for a contest but I was over the moon with the results I got in just 8 weeks & will certainly be continuing. I’m planning to compete in Wbff London later in the year & will be getting my ass into gear well in advance next time.

I’ve been training & playing sport most of my life and I can honestly say that the training I’ve done with Josh has really made me re-think what I was doing. Josh really knows how to get the best out of you to achieve a result. He kicks your ass just at the right time & knows when to back off as well. Especially during HIIT training, which I bloody hate BTW!!! I don;t think I’ve ever been so embarrassed in my life failing miserably at belting a tyre with a sledgehammer. I was close to bawling at one point tbh!! But I felt about ½ a stone lighter afterwards.

The training program was very different to what Id been doing but I have to say hit each body part to maximum effect. The nutrition plan he designed was excellent. A clearly laid out plan, told me exactly what to eat, how much & when to eat it. He used all the foods I love eating, I was never hungry & always felt strong in the gym.

I’ve always been very concerned about following wacky diets that seem to be the norm in the world of body-building and fitness contests. Having suffered with an autoimmune disease in the past, I simply will not take chances with my health & would not even attempt some of the complex carb-cycling diets that I know some people follow. Achieving the sculpted look gives a tremendous sense of achievement but its not worth ending up in hospital for imo.

I have quite a small frame & not overly muscular but in a very short space of time I could see noticeable changes in my body. Had a bit of trouble holding some water the last couple of weeks but we sorted that out the week before the show. I haven’t had any official photos back from fit factor yet but will be posting as soon as I do.

I really want to thank Josh for putting up with me over 8 weeks & I can honestly say I trust his judgement all the way. I would strongly recommend anyone wanting to lose weight, compete or maximize their game in any sport to get in touch with him. You will definitely get the results you’re looking for! Thanks again Josh Rylatt

At size 16 I knew I didn’t want to be fat, so in August 2013 I started a macro based diet with Josh’s support. For a girl who was on a 1200kcal diet for months, and was scared from carbs it was a massive change. The diet is custom made depending on what food you like and enjoy, so it’s very easy to follow and it turns into a whole lifestyle change.

Josh is very helpful, supportive and ready to answer every question. By the end of September I was down to size 10 and now I’m size 8 which I have never been before. Personal training sessions with Josh are not easy, and sometimes you find strength even if you think you can’t continue your exercise anymore, and that’s really great. He is always there to help and support you on your journey.

Transformation Fit have been great trainers and motivators. Before I started with them I was size 16 and weighed over 11 st. I had chronic back problems, eczema and IBS. They worked out a sustainable eating plan and showed me how to train and build my back muscles up. I now weigh just over 8 st. and wear a size 8. My back problems are virtually non existent. My eczema has cleared because of clean eating and my IBS rarely flares anymore. My strength continues to grow. I always look forward to training with them, they’re so positive and encouraging.

I absolutely loved training with Transformation Fit! I was a size 16/18, suffered with asthma from a young age and totally unfit (couldn’t even step up on a block without struggling!) Since I started training with Transformation Fit I’ve gone down to a size 10, haven’t used my inhaler in god knows how long and can leg press 140kg! My sessions were so hard but fun at the same time, my trainer is a guru of knowledge when it comes to training and food and is always giving helpful tips! He straight away noticed I had issues with my back when I didn’t even realise it myself and rightfully diagnosed it as well! My nutrition was tailored to fit me and my busy life and it included popcorn, eggs, bacon and chocolate! Perfect! Impressive service you would be a fool not to snap them up! Thanks for everything!

Training with Josh throughout the off season was thoroughly enjoyable and beneficial. His professionalism and knowledge in strength and conditioning was evident, and was portrayed in an easy manner to understand. I felt comfortable asking questions about the training and diet that he gave me, of which was very helpful in achieving training goals and improving recovery. Specifically, I became stronger across all compound lifts which transferred to my sprinting speed and acceleration on the pitch. The conditioning sessions were sports specific and enabled me to start the season at an optimal fitness.

The diet was varied but easy to follow, with everything broken down in to individual portion sizes to prevent me having to worry about it. The pre and post training meals were particularly good as I felt that they let me have more productive sessions and recover quicker.

Since training with Josh, I got in to the Scotland Women’s Rugby Squad, leading towards the Six Nations Championship at the start of 2014. I plan to train with him again at the end of the season as he is a reliable, enthusiastic coach.
