Before I started my weight loss programme with Home Grown Fitness, I used to go to the gym and think I was working hard. How wrong was I! A training session at the gym before for me was chatting to my friend on the bike and not even building up a sweat. My diet consisted of what I thought was low fat foods, and I was puzzled as to why I wasn’t losing any weight. A friend at the gym recommended Home Grown Fitness to me and I have never looked back. Ben has help me identify where I was going wrong, together we have created a diet and exercise plan that works well with my busy lifestyle and also family friendly meals. And as for the workouts…. Ben has showed me how to really workout, and where I was going wrong before. Having a child and working full time I use to find it hard to get to the gym, but with having sessions at home, it works so well for me and you don’t have the excuse of no childcare. With the diet and exercise plan Ben has set for me I have lost 1 stone and 2 dress sizes so far. I have always struggled with my weight, but Home Grown Fitness has given me the support and plan I have always needed. I am not hungry and I am able to see the results which always helps you push yourself to achieving your goals, and with Home Grown Fitness’s help I now know I will. The training sessions are fun, hard work and even on those days when you really cannot be bothered Ben is able to keep you motivated with his upbeat attitude. Huge thanks to Home Grown Fitness.

January 2014, and I was the heaviest I have ever been. With my best friend’s wedding in 7 months and a bridesmaid dress that I couldn’t fit into I knew I had to do something. As a complete and utter health and fitness novice, I sought to find professional help and I found it with Home Grown Fitness. Home Grown fitness offered me just what I needed. I needed a long term and diverse fitness plan, that would help me reach my weight loss goal and fit in with my busy schedule. After an introductory session with Ben Martell in which we discussed what I wanted to achieve and my level of fitness, I was given a fitness regime, tailored specifically for my goals and ability. Ben carefully explained and demonstrated each exercise and ensured that my technique was correct which made me feel confident in my ability to perform the exercises in the most effective and safe way. As well as this, Ben personalised a nutritional plan that coincided with my exercise regime that would ensure my weight loss. Four months have passed and Home Grown Fitness have helped me achieve my goals and more. Training at home 3 times a week, combining strength training, plyometrics and cardio and eating according to my personalised plan, I have lost over a stone in weight and have lost the inches I need from the waist, hips and thighs. Through regular home visits, Ben has helped to improve the effectiveness and progression of my training. More than just the weight loss, through Home Grown Fitness I have now become a fitness addict. The exercise regime and the healthy eating have become a part of my lifestyle. I feel great because of it and it’s even more rewarding when everyone around you notices and comments on the results. I started out this workout plan with the intention of achieving a goal within seven months but now I want to keep going, and I know that with any future training I do, I will have the support and expert guidance of Home Grown fitness to help me further my physical and mental potential.
