I was never somebody who cared dramatically about my shape, but realizing that 10 years had passed where I was to all intents and purposes ‘overweight’, I decided to do something about it. I joined Iron Core Fit 11 weeks ago (March 31st, 2015) with the goals of weight loss and getting back in shape. Iron Core Fit not only has excellent, state of the art, new equipment but an extremely helpful and friendly bunch of trainers and support staff.

I also decided to take person-training sessions with Abhay Sharma at the gym. I am not sure I can put in words how brilliant Abay is and just how much he has done for me. I have a long standing lower back injury which not only did Abay take the time to research thoroughly, he also makes sure I never do anything that may cause further damage. He is funny, motivating and kind.

The result is that I have dropped a couple of clothes size and lost weight (12kgs) and my family and friends have commented on how toned I seem to be and this is all thanks to Abhay’s introduction of a combination of heavy lifting and vigorous cardio sessions. I would thoroughly recommend Abhay. Whatever your goals are he will listen and identify how to help you reach them – for me the evidence speaks for itself and, much to my surprise, I really enjoy the sessions.

I would also like to thank Vipul Singh (Head Coach) for this candid input with regards to my diet during the last 11 weeks.
