FABIANNA
Before working with MBM, I felt really tired, sluggish and in what felt like a never-ending negative pattern. I wasn't sleeping enough, I wasn't finding time for workouts, and eating lazily. I also thought maybe my best days were behind me as far as fitness was concerned, and having "pre-kids" fitness goals were unrealistic or unattainable.
Now I feel like I have a lot more control over my physical outlook and any goal can be achieved with a moderated and guided approach. Hope is not lost because I'm in my mid 40s with two kids!! MBM helped figure out where I needed to focus to keep on track, and the changes were doable.
‘‘Louis is very understanding of life constraints as I was worried that the program would require me to prioritise fitness above the rest, which is hard in real life.’’

Louis provides honest straightforward feedback in a very relatable way. He is quick to adapt to specific concerns or circumstances such as travel, holidays, illness, but also in a way that keeps me accountable. I wouldn’t have made it to my hotel gym nearly as often if I hadn't discussed with him my plan in advance of trips, and it's ok that maybe the travel workout isn't as "good" as the home workout - it's about adapting and making progress. Having to report back to Louis on a weekly basis kept me honest.

I eat a lot more protein, and I have really changed my habits around my daily nutrition. I reach for a different range of foods and snacks prior than to when I worked with him.
Having a set macro plan I realised how little protein I was eating. My outlook is a lot kinder to myself and I used to be a lot more "all or nothing" in my approach to fitness, which led to good short term progress but then a quick yoyo.

While I still struggle with the number staring back at me on the scale, I'm a lot less tied to it than I have been over the last 30 years! I see the progress in photos, and it's not a way I have managed my progress before. It was new to me.
