Here is an email from my man from London, Lee McSorley.

I don’t want to blow my own trumpet here (call me Satchmo) but I love emails like this.

It shows me I’m delivering exactly what I am meant to deliver – something that goes way beyond your normal, box gym experience by making each and every session something special.

I am delivering what people are paying for and more – it’s all about taking their game to the next level in a way they would never even have imagined possible and, additionally, in a way they could never manage alone (or if they did, it would take years).

Hey, let’s be honest.

The decision to change your life around is not easy.

And it’s not for everyone either.

You are going to have to put some damn elbow grease in to make it work.

Fitness and health are one of the few remaining things left that tapping on a screen or popping a magic pill will not give.

So yes, it’s only for those who have decided to take the plunge into a determined mindset and lifestyle change.

Those who know it is going to take some blood, sweat and tears.

The others – the ones whose gym experience consists of leasing equipment for an hour, doing the things they have always done (and getting what they have always gotten) – need to apply somewhere else.

But for those who do jump in, the rewards are endless.

Here is what Lee thought – and yes, that leg session was absolute-Lee awesome wasn’t it? Wish I could have been a fly on the wall at that restaurant (a muscular fly that is).

Definitely have to do it again.

“While taking some time out from London to work from a laptop in Gozo, finding a good gym was high on my list of priorities.

I picked out The BodyForge simply because it was the biggest gym in Gozo and turned up ready to talk short term memberships and embark on my usual 45 minute, twice weekly weights routine that I had been doing for a few years. I was confused when Don didn’t want to discuss a ready list of membership prices and seemed genuinely interested in my fitness goals!

Nevertheless I persevered with the attitude that normally works in London gyms of paying up and pressing on alone.

In my first workout I was interrupted by Don critiquing my well-practised (or so I thought) dumbbell press routine. Initially I was slightly annoyed, as I’d cultivated my technique over a few years and so I definitely should know what I was doing, right?

Wrong! Don’s tips immediately made sense and I could feel the difference in the exercise straight away. The difference was so profound that I agreed to have several sessions with Don one-to-one, on the condition that I suspend everything I thought I knew about training and follow his advice and routines.

I can 100% tell you that those sessions were worth it! I have never learnt so much so quickly and had the best workouts of my life. Don helped me push myself to limits that I didn’t think were possible, all the while ensuring I was performing the exercises completely safely, in total control and in the manner in which would work the correct muscle groups the best.

“Leg day” was especially interesting – an awesome 2 hour workout involving various squats, lunges and hamstring exercises that was only achievable through Don’s constant powers of motivation (delivered in his own unique style).

 

A session and that left me almost unable to walk up 2 flights of stairs at a restaurant for dinner afterwards (oh yes, everyone was wondering what the heck I had done as I shambled around) and which left the quads, hams and glutes complaining nicely for days later!

But, I have to admit, my legs (and the rest of my physique) improved immeasurably under Don’s guidance.

In his own words; it’s these days that separate the men from the boys!

Thanks to Don, I now have new knowledge, new benchmarks and renewed motivation to continue this as best I can once I go back to London.

And I am definitely coming back for more Re-Invention time at The BodyForge when I’m next in Gozo!”

PS: So there you have it. If YOU want to do things differently and finally get on a program that treats you as an individual, Re-Invention is built around you. You can go right here and complete the application form. Recommended  especially if you have tried other programs and failed repeatedly and you’re tired of the box gym approach. And that’s because we take your goals as seriously as we take ours.
