Alison shares how the Academy has transformed her life.

‘’ I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone involved in the Academy at 3-1-5 Health Club.

This time last year I didn’t want to go to a Christmas do, I had no confidence, didn’t like anything I put on and just wanted to curl up on the sofa with my pj’s on.

I didn’t know I was suffering with postnatal depression and had been for at least a couple of years.

I felt fat frumpy and I was “mummy”, no longer Alison. Since I braved going back in the gym with Ben (Academy coach) back in August I can honestly say I am a different person.

The regular training has helped me physically but more importantly mentally. I was looking forward to dressing up tonight in my (eeek) size 10 dress!!! I can’t remember the last time I felt happy in a dress and actually spent some time getting ready for a night out.

Special thanks to Lee for listening to me moaning and my lots of questions and Johnny for making me work harder 🙄 you Academy trainers are the best team ever and I couldn’t have done it without you and everyone I’ve met along the way.

My boys said “wow” when I walked in the room dressed up this evening, it made my cry!!!
I can’t wait to move into 2020 and get even stronger and fitter

Here is what Mal had to say after his 10 week experience with us: – “Just booked onto the new January Academy, I would recommend it to anyone thinking about it. – Really looking forward to 2020, completed the last academy on the 13th Dec, with a 7.2kg weight loss and 32cm size loss. – Couldn’t have done it without the support of the academy team. Thanks to Lee Jones X-Force , Johnny Palmer X-Force , Wilk Morbey, Drew Ross, but extra special thanks to Ben Law X-Force who took most of my sessions. – Bring it on January Academy”.

“So just over 8 weeks ago I reluctantly decided to sign up to the X-Force Academy, possibly the best decision I could have made. Never in all my 26 years on earth have I stuck at something and actually achieved results. Since joining the Academy 8 weeks ago I have lost 82cm all over!

My biggest fear joining the Academy was that every person was going to be super fit and I wouldn’t be able to keep up. But the classes are full of people of all ages, shapes, sizes and fitness levels and all motivate each other to make the best out of a brutal situation! You certainly have to be in the right mind set and for me there were two options, remain the same or make a change. Diet is obviously a huge factor but learning from Lee from the outset what I should and shouldn’t be eating made it easier, with a little assistance from My Fitness Pal who kept me on track along the way. There’s no shortcut or secret diet to replace hard work, but I’m chuffed to bits with my results so far and cant wait to keep going and see what I can achieve in another 8 weeks with the academy! Thanks so much to all the lovely team & trainers.”

This past few weeks has changed the way I relate to activity and I now cannot imagine not integrating exercise into my week. My strength and fitness is improving and I feel mentally in a better place. I only regret that it has taken me such a long time to finally commit to something.

Helena lost 3.5kg of body weight and 2.7kg of body fat which equated to 2.9% of her body weight Helena also lost 8cm around her waist alone! Helena was awarded female winner of the 8 week challenge which concluded in September 2018 and continues to inspire Academy members with her great results.

Trevor made a complete transformation during our Autumn 8 week challenge and was awarded Male winner in September 2018. Trevor used X-Force and the Academy during the challenge and undertook meal prep from our very own Replenish Kitchen.
