I joined Amy & David’s high-efficiency fat loss/muscle gain program for London university students. In just 8 weeks, I’ve seen a massive shift in both my physical shape and my mental state. 

When I first met Amy, I could tell right away she’s someone who values goals and efficiency above all else. During training, she’s constantly watching your form, teaching you how to engage the right muscles, and pushing you to give it your all. 

I also want to give a shout-out to David. He’s more of an "encourager" type of mentor. He’s always hyping me up when my form is spot on or telling me I can handle a heavier weight, all while spotting me so I don’t get hurt. Overall, we worked together so well. I looked forward to every session, and I can truly feel my body changing for the better. 

In the very first lesson, Amy taught me a ton about nutrition and how I should be eating every day. She had me send her photos of every single meal and would give me constant feedback. Before training, my mindset was basically "starve myself to lose weight"—I loved carbs but would end up binge eating. Thanks to Amy, I now know how to balance protein, carbs, and fats, plus getting enough fiber and vitamins. Now, I’m at the grocery store 2-3 times a week buying chicken, beef, seafood, and fresh produce to meal prep, with the occasional cheat meal on weekends. Once I got my diet dialed in, my training results basically doubled. 

I’m so much happier now when I look in the mirror. I feel healthier and more confident. I don’t have that random body anxiety anymore, and I’m even braver when trying on new clothes. Turns out, clothes just look better when you have some muscle definition! I feel like my whole life has improved, and I can’t wait to keep working with them.
