elite: Leeds member Keith joined in July 2019 and has lost an amazing 45lbs since, progressing onto our toughest programme, elite: Plus!

Father of 2 Keith had a high BMI of 37 and knew he needed to lose weight and get healthier. Having a family history of Type 2 diabetes, it was time for a change.

“I set off on my Transform journey thinking I’d just lose 20lbs. After losing my target within the 6 weeks, I reinvested back into another Transform and lost a further 20lbs. I decided to jump onto elite: Fusion as I felt that I wanted to develop and concentrate on improved cardio fitness and muscle growth. The fusion meal plan and training are exactly what I need with regards to the ongoing support and guidance from the team. Since joining elite: Fusion, not only have I maintained my weight-loss, but I have now increased my strength and noticed muscle toning.

I was referred by a colleague who also lost 40lbs+ over two Transforms for her wedding. The first few weeks were a shock to the system as I wasn’t used to cardio level exercise. After the weight started dropping off and I felt I could achieve more during the training, I enjoy the workouts as they are varied and fun yet challenging – the team always make sure they get 110% out of you. The best thing about elite: is that you will walk into a session and every session is different, I’ve never done the same session and it helps make elite: unique and shows there are plenty of ways to get the results we always know we wanted and couldn’t do without their help.

I haven’t ran since I was 18. I did enjoy a 20mi bike ride every now and then along Leeds canal but that was it, I wasn’t a couch potato, but I wasn’t an athlete either.

In the beginning, I was motivated the most by the thought of getting my refund at the end of the 6 weeks… however once I started to see positive results from the training I am now motivated to work harder, faster and stronger during the sessions. I am looking forward to future challenges such as completing Total Warrior and Leeds 10km with other members of the elite: family.

The meal plan is structured to allow creativity on meals, giving you the opportunity to mix and match depending on nutrient guidelines. The trainers are always on hand to give support and ideas if you need them. They won’t let you starve or go without a meal.

I have recently moved over to elite: Fusion and elite: Plus which are elite: Leeds’ toughest programmes, they really are a challenge but I can’t wait to see what my future results will be on these programmes,

If I were to describe elite: in 3 words I would say…  REWARDING, CHALLENGING and FRIENDLY!

I would Completely recommend elite: Transform to ANYONE looking to get results, whether it be 20lbs or 200lbs – you can do it with the help of elite. Not only is it free if you hit the target, but it’s also a great springboard to starting or continuing your fitness journey.

Thank you elite: Team!”If you would like to follow in Keith’s footsteps to a healthier, happier lifestyle, get involved in our next intake by calling us on 0113 322 9644 or emailing leeds@elitetogether.com

The post 37-year-old Keith Gater has lost an unbelievable 45lbs since joining elite: Leeds and has no plans on stopping soon! appeared first on Elite Together.

32-year-old Samantha Gibson from Newcastle lost 23.6lbs in time for her once-in-a-life-time Vegas wedding! With a 4 stone goal in mind, Samantha has no worries about getting in the best shape of her life.

Newly-wed Samantha had already bought her wedding dress which did originally fit her perfectly, however, wanting to lose some weight and feel more confident in her gorgeous white dress – Samantha had to pull the corset of the dress in as tight as it would go on the day.

“I lost 23.6lbs with transform and although I have put some of my weight back from Vegas indulgence, I am in a smaller dress size and I am a lot more toned than I have ever been. I have always struggled with my weight and find it difficult to lose weight as I have polycystic ovaries.”

Seeing and hearing the results of elite: Transform, Samantha was eventually persuaded to join the challenge in June 2019 just 8 weeks before her wedding day!

“I struggled at first as I had not exercised since before, I fell pregnant, and since having my little boy I have found little time for myself. As the sessions went on, I could feel myself getting strong both physically and mentally which meant that I could push myself harder each session. The diet was hard for me at first because I just used to grab anything convenient but the more I prepped the more it just became a part of my routine and I found it much easier to prep the night before for the following day that way I wasn’t tempted to pick at anything. I am a pretty picky eater, but I found it easy to find something I liked every day and the trainers were very helpful with anything that I couldn’t eat and gave me substitutes for this. 

Transform gave me the ability to make better choices in everyday life about the foods that I eat. I have made some good friends along the way and I love the feeling I get after every class. I have now switched to a lunchtime class and come down on my lunch hour I feel that it gives me the energy to take on the afternoon especially if my morning hasn’t been the best. The trainers are absolutely superb and the support you receive is second-to-none. You are made to feel like part of the elite family every time you enter the gym.

My biggest motivation in all of this was feeling that I was getting myself back. I feel that before I hid away from things and my confidence was really quite low. I am very proud in how far I have come, and I can’t wait to continue my journey with elite: Newcastle – I have just signed up for 12 months with them and I can’t wait to see where I will be in 12 months’ time.

The meal plan is absolutely delicious. This was always the sticking point for me in the past as being a fussy eater I couldn’t have stomached the diet as it was in previous years. I feel that the diet plan is very varied and really easy to follow.

After completing Transform I reinvested my money into elite: Evolve for 10 weeks and paid an additional £70 to double that time. I went away to get married and I knew I would slip back to old habits if I didn’t carry on going. I have now just signed up to the Black Friday deal as this is a fantastic opportunity and makes it a lot more affordable for me. 

If I had to describe elite: Transform in 3 words, I’d say: Inspirational. Intense. Exhilarating. 

I would 100% recommend Transform to anyone who needs that push in the right direction as it’s not just the push you receive but a shove and after that there no going back as like me you will become hooked. 

Thank you elite: Newcastle!”If you would like to follow in Samantha’s footsteps to a healthier, happier lifestyle, get involved in our next intake by calling us on 0191 731 6661 or emailing newcastle@elitetogether.com

The post Samantha Gibson gets HITCHED in Vegas and shows off 23lbs weight loss! appeared first on Elite Together.

Johnny originally joined elite: Stockton in 2017, to lose weight for his wedding, however after letting it slide once completed it and getting married, Johnny then began to put more weight on and knowing the programme works before, he spoke to the team. After having reservations about the meal plan, Johnny as hesitant to join again. In January 2019, we revamped our meal plan, it is delicious and nutritious, Johnny knew it was meant to be and re-joined in July 2019.

Johnny’s wife Faye informed Johnny on Transform as Faye had a few friends who had completed it and seen their results. After his wedding, knowing the results were great and achievable, Johnny re-joined, this time, for good.

“Transform is a great programme for anyone who is looking to lose weight but not just that improve their fitness, which not only myself who have noticed my fitness but my wife and family. My kids keep me on my toes, it’s great to be able to keep up with them.

My first transform in 2017 I found ok, but the meal plan was hard. After joining for the second time Transform was good, I found the meal plan easy and filling I never felt hungry, my biggest boasted was losing 21.5lbs in my first week, knowing I had completed the weight goal did not stop me I carried on and lost 33.5lbs in my first transform. My second term transform was a bit harder still the meals were still good and I was not struggling, but the weight was harder to get off most weeks only losing 2lbs I thought I would not get the weight off but after speaking to the trainers that gave me advice on what I can do which worked and was a great help as I lost the 20lbs needed in the second one, jumping off the scales at my final weigh-in.

My favourite thing about elite: Transform, has got to be the trainers (most people would probably say losing weight) but for me I wouldn’t have achieved the results I did if it wasn’t for them, they are all so supportive, they make sessions fun and make you work hard to help you achieve your results.

 I used to be an entertainer when I was younger so was very physical but when I had my son I gave it all up and retrained to a new career, I still have a physical job but not active as in fitness, the most I used to do was running around with my kids but it was struggle which is why I made the change.

My wife and kids are my biggest motivators for me, supporting me in what I am doing, but it has to be seeing results not just on the scales but pictures, which is why I took my own no top pictures.

I love the new meal plan; you get so much variety but there also option to add spices and flavourings to your meals to make them tastier and more enjoyable. I like the fact that on a Friday or Saturday night (depending on training days) you get to have a kebab which makes you feel like your cheating on the meal plan but you’re not, day 5 was my favourite by far, who doesn’t love pancakes for breakfast and healthy kebabs for tea!

I am not giving up this time around, if you do, you’ll more than likely be like me and put weight on, I am now signed up to elite: Evolve after completing two 6 week challenges, this is the next step before going on to fusion.

If I had to describe elite: in 3 words it would definitely be difficult… let’s go with FUN, REWARDING and SUPPORTIVE!

Without a shadow of a doubt, I would recommend elite, if anyone asks me about losing weight, I always tell them about elite, if I was going to rate elite it would be 10 out of 10, they’ve got it spot on with their programme to the right trainers leading there classes”If you would like to follow in Johnny’s footsteps, get involved in our next intake by calling us on 01642 424 300 or emailing stockton@elitetogether.com

The post Johnny Sargent, Lincoln Born Father of 2 has smashed elite: Transform losing a life-changing 51.58lbs appeared first on Elite Together.

Keeley Littlewoods, 43, originally wanted to lose 100lbs when she first joined elite: in April 2018, having smashed that in just 16 months, there is no stopping her now with a new goal of 130lbs!

Keeley knew she needed the help of the elite: Leeds Team after a careers charge, which left Keeley piling on the weight in her 30s and noticing a massive change in her fitness. This left Keeley (like most) trying various diets and routines to get her life back, Keeley had some success, but it was always unsustainable. Keeley always ended up putting the weight back on plus more. After first seeing an advert for elite: Leeds on social media Keeley knew it “sounded too good to be true”. 

But after seeing a friend complete the elite: Transform challenge and rolling on to elite: Fusion, it gave her the push to sign up after seeing her incredible pictures.

In the beginning, Keeley was more worried about the diet, before transform Keeley used to snack a lot and enjoy fast food and sugary drinks! Keeley always thought she would never be able to stick to it but decided “if I cheated the plan I would only be cheating myself” she stuck at it and used spices and imagination to keep it interesting… and after refusing to eat peanut butter her whole life its now a favourite! 

“As the days went on, I found myself feeling better and more energetic which encouraged me to continue. I knew the fitness would be hard, but the trainers were fantastic pushing me when needed but also giving me alternative exercises if I asked then seeing the losses on the scales every week just motivated me to carry on.” 

The group training really helped Keeley along the way; “being in a group of people all doing the same programme seeing everyone achieve their goals and everyone being so supportive and friendly really does help, I have met some amazing people. The compliments I get from everyone about my journey really motivates me to keep going”.

“In my 20s, I was very active with a career in horse riding and travelling through Europe but after a change in careers and going to various gyms my fitness journey ended! Moving to a new house in my early 30s and sat in an office all day definitely had a massive impact on my fitness and for the past 7 years, my daily exercise was walking the dogs and throwing a ball. 

It’s easy to stay motivated at elite: Leeds, the trainers and the constant new exercises keep things interesting and fun, and at home, it’s my husband who continues to support me and my 2 dogs .

After trying both meal plans, I personally liked the original one for being quick and easy to follow not really having to do much prep. However, the new plan is definitely tastier and easier to follow long term.

If I was to describe elite: in 3 words, I would say…

LIFE-CHANGING, SUPPORTIVE and FUN… (+ FTP of course!)

I would definitely recommend elite: to anyone, no matter how big or small your goal is. I’ve lost over 100lbs and only paid one transform fee! I have had amazing results following the programme it has been an educational experience learning so much about nutrition and fitness and changing my mindset making me a stronger person. This year I completed the Tough Mudder 10-mile Obstacles Course with 5 friends, whom of which I met at elite. This would have been something that would never have been possible or achievable before joining the team and the amazing trainers. Thank you elite: Leeds! Roll on the next Transform!” If you would like to follow in Keeley’s footsteps, get involved in our next intake by calling us on 0113 322 9644 or emailing leeds@elitetogether.com

The post elite: Leeds’ Keeley Littlewood has smashed her 100lbs target… but she’s not stopping anytime soon! appeared first on Elite Together.

Having a target of 150lbs loss (11 stone) seemed like the most impossible goal for 29 stone Cramlington member Si! Since joining elite: in November 2017, Si has lost an amazing 10 stone… and counting!

Having a school friend who had lost an amazing amount of weight through elite, it took not much persuading to get Si signed up! “I thought my work schedule would interfere too much, then my friend announced he was getting married, and I wanted to get into better shape for his big day which was set for July 20th 2019, as well as this, I wanted everything else that came with Transform, the stuff that becomes second nature, falling into better eating habits, becoming to a fitness-lover and a change in your mindset overall on being healthier.”

Here is what Si had to say about elite: Transform: 

“elite: Transform, personally, it’s the complete package for me, you get your “diet” plan, your classes, your trainers, a group of like-minded people that are all there for the same reason; to lose weight, get fitter and have a new perspective on fitness and cleaner eating.

All for a crazy cheap price which you’d be hard-pressed to find something like that for as little as a single payment of £228 if you’re hitting the 20lbs every time.

I’ve also met some amazing people along the way, I always love starting a new 6 weeks, to see the new faces, give some advice if they ask and see them smash their target! and the old faces too.

It’s not always been “easy” to hit the target, sometimes life got in the way, 1 bad day became 2 bad days which became a bad week but I kept going to classes during those times and keeping my fitness up so I was still fitter and stronger ready for the next transform to start.

It might be a 6-week challenged with a target weight loss, but I’ve come to realise personally it’s not always about the number on the scales, that might have gone up, but that doesn’t mean my fitness has gone down because of it.

My favourite thing about Transform… it’s the people, they’re amazing, the trainers are so supportive. They will always push you on to keep you going so you can maximise your potential, and exceed it, if they see you’re making something look easy, they’ll get you to go harder, or heavier.

The variety of the classes has certainly come a long way since I signed up in November 2017, every class is different and focuses on a different style of fitness or a different muscle set, so you really do get a full work out and understanding of how you can exercise every part of your body effectively.

Prior to starting elite: Transform, I wasn’t as active as I used to be, I work in a call centre, so I’m sitting down for 12 hour per day when I’m on shift, with the odd bit of walking during break times, which I even do more of that now on breaks, before starting this job, I worked in a retail store, a lot more active stacking shelves, working the warehouse, I also played 5-a-side once a week at that time.

My biggest motivation to keep me going is the results I see, as well as the people who know me and have done for several years commenting on my progress and how well I’m doing, and the willpower it must take to do something so life-changing. Being able to go to a “regular” shop and look at clothes without having to worry if they do a big enough size.

The new meal plan is amazing compared to the old one, though, not going to lie, I don’t eat everything on it, I have a handful of meals I really like that I rotate it and mix it up, yet still get the same great results every time. I must say… the Chicken with Prawns with Veg is definitely my favourite.

My plans at the moment are to continue rolling over until I’m happy with my total weight and then reinvest into the elite: Fusion programme and continue my fitness there.

If I had to describe elite: in 3 words, I would say…

MINDSET. FITNESS. LIFESTYLE.

I would 100% recommend elite: Transform, though I’ve not really had to try hard, I’m a walking advert, people see my weight loss and ask how I’m doing it!”If you would like to follow in Si’s footsteps, get involved in our next intake by calling us on 01670 335 945 or emailing cramlington@elitetogether.com
