Client of the Month - Thomas Collins
Congratulations to our latest client of the month Thomas Collins. Tom has shown nothing but determination, drive, and willingness to learn the Physique Academy philosophy and has lost 37 lbs down in 24 weeks while also gaining mass! Tom made it all happen with his coach Jamie. “My highlight has been working with Jamie. He’s been my PT, my coach, teacher, mentor, and best friend all in one, in times of success he’s cheered me on and been my biggest supporter, in times of doubt he’s inspired me to keep going and push myself further, and he’s also been there in times of struggle where other circumstances have impacted my journey. Jamie has been there with me every step of the way and his passion for helping others, his drive, his knowledge, and effort have been outstanding.”
Tom joined Physique Academy because he was at a very low point in his life. Once lockdown hit, his fitness routine went out the window and he took refuge in comfort eating until eventually he resented the gym and developed bad eating habits. Tom lacked motivation and didn’t have the knowledge to undo the damage he has caused, until he came across Physique Academy. It was clear that PA would be able to provide the knowledge, tools, coaching and structure in order for Tom to begin his journey.
His initial goals were primarily to lose body fat and improve his overall fitness and strength. He also wanted to reshape his mindset. Tom wanted to become the best version of himself and achieve things he never thought he was “cut out” to do.
Through Tom’s fitness journey with PA, his achievements have surpassed what he had originally hoped for. His physical appearance, strength, and endurance, but also his mental toughness and attitude towards his overall health and day-to-day lifestyle choices are just some of the noticeable changes within Tom.
For as long as he can remember his diet has constantly been up and down to the point where he would buy a 12-week fat loss diet plan just to get back to his regular shape. This wasn’t feasible nor healthy in the long run.
Read below our quick interview with the client of the month
When did you join the Physique Academy?
I joined the PA in October 2021
Why did you join Physique Academy?
I joined because I wanted to become the best version of myself and create a lifestyle that was healthy and maintainable.
What have you achieved both physically and personally since joining the academy?
I have become fitter than I could have ever imagined and have set the building blocks for me to progress abs take my physique further. Mentally I am stronger, happier and more positive.
What is your ultimate fitness goal?
Achieve a desired physique where I’m comfortable in my own body and become the ultimate ‘hybrid’ athlete
In what other areas of your life has Physique Academy helped you improve?
It’s improved my attitude towards life, I now crave to bd successful not just for my fitness goals but for everything I do. I strive to go the extra mile and lead by example to others.
Would you recommend Physique Academy?
Joining PA was honestly the best decision I’ve ever made; they are a team of genius’. Put your faith in them, trust the process and believe in yourself and you’ll achieve wonders!
What gets you motivated to complete the programme to best of your ability?
I never start something with the intention of giving up, I’m all in and I’ll give it 110% because at the end of the day, I am in charge of my own destiny, what you put in you get out, pain is temporary but quitting lasts forever.
Is there something fitness related you can do now you couldn’t do before joining Physique Academy?
Run! I hated running; I made every possible excuse not to run. Now I’m running 10k sub 50 minutes and I’m pushing my limits every time I step on the treadmill. Next stop, half marathon!
How important is a routine for you?
When I don’t have a routine, I start to create bad habits and lose track of what matters, by committing to the programme I’ve set myself up for the future by creating habits that bring the best out of me.
What has been your highlight of working with Physique Academy?
Working with my PT, Jamie, what a top guy!! I’d run out of words to thank Jamie during my weekly check ins, he’s been through all my highs and lows and has always backed me to the very end. He’s been everything you could ever ask for in a PT, the best part however is that I feel I’ve made a true friend, who really understands what’s it’s like to not be in a fit/happy state, to be down in the gutter. Jamie has provided me with the tools, knowledge, and motivation to get me over the line and it’s been an absolute pleasure working with him. We’ll 100% be keeping in touch and I’m sure we’ll even get a gym session in together at some point. This is what it’s all about!!
What’s next on your fitness journey?
Run further, lift heavier, become fitter and stronger than ever before. Push my limits to the absolute extreme and helps others where possible with their fitness journey.
