Body transformation (12 weeks) anyone done one?
Discussion
Just wondered if anyone has done a body transformation before & if there are any tips you have?
Bit of background: a series of injuries has left me doing little to no exercise for ages. I recently joined a gym & got a PT. Mentioned during one of the initial sessions that I may be interested in a body transformation & the PT keeps mentioning it. They seem REALLY keen for me to do it.
Presumably its a marketing thing for them or perhaps they need the money. But it is a big commitment too so be good to hear from others as obviously looking this stuff up online is just yielding pictures or whatever

My daughter did something similar, as did a friend, they both stuck it out and continued after the programme for a while but they both just found it all too restrictive with diet and workouts, both have lost the "look" but are still fit and slim, they still work out but less and they both still eat well but don't follow any plan, just eat sensibly, they are both far happier and don't feel guilty when they have the odd binge.
Thanks for this and everyone else for the responses. My motivation is that I am reasonably skinny but have a bit of a belly now & also since covid when I stopped working out my upper body strength has evaporated.I am basically at this stage as economically, it seems it might be better for me to do the regular PT, with the programme etc, gym access rather than not have the programme & just do a normal PT with membership. Obviously they have priced it so economically it makes sense. I'll have a bit more of a think about it, the exercise plan I can get behind but the nutrition and the fact I know some weeks I might be travelling with work do put me off somewhat.
If anyone has other suggestions of what I could do then I'd love to hear.
For the poster asking the cost, it's £1.2k for 12 weeks. Not cheap!

what do you get for that £1.2k? for a £100 a week I would be expecting at least 2 in person sessions with a trainer, a diet plan, weekly check in and a non trainer workout plan.
It's that but 3x 45min PT sessions a week + access to their other classes which I guess I may do as presumably have to train the other daysC5_Steve said:

On the PT side of things, it's important to remember (as it seems you realise already) that they're your best mate whilst they're asking you to part with money. Now, all PTs aren't the same of course and it would be unfair to say they're all useless and just after your hard-earned. If I were looking for a PT, I'd spend some time having a look at their socials, see what client progress they achieve over this period. What type of training to the specialise in. Any competent PT should have pages of before and afters as well as progress. Look for people who resemble yourself to get an idea of what's possible, but be cautious of anything that looks too good to be true. What you want to see is a wide variety as a good PT should be working towards their client's goals, not just getting someone to cut for a competition (depending on what they specialise in of course).Bit of background: a series of injuries has left me doing little to no exercise for ages.

The gym itself has very good reviews & it was those that made me want to join them in the first place.
The transformation info however is a bit more lacking, and has what is required, but only 5 or 6 before/after pics with no customer testimonials.
