This last year saw many clients achieve some pretty impressive things. Darren started the year at 99kgs, and a little under 30% body fat. With a years hard work, and some consistent healthy eating, he got his weight down to 81kgs and his body fat under 15%. His primary goal was to shape up for a beach holiday early in the year, but after he got such great results before his trip, he moved the goal posts and set his sights on getting as fit and lean as he could before anther trip away in December.
To lose 18kgs and half your body fat is a great achievement, and here is what he said about it; ‘I approached Shaun early in the year as I had been recommended by a friend. I had had personal training before, so thought I knew what to expect, but from the first couple of sessions, I knew this would be different! Shaun took control of everything from my training, to my diet, and kept me motivated though out the whole process! I can now see why he came so highly recommended, and would recommend him to anyone looking to drop body fat and shape up quickly’.
It has been a great year for SST Athlete & PT Michelle Brannan! Having started the year as a relatively novice trainer at just under 20% body fat, she worked hard to get ready for her first figure competition, FAME UK Bikini. She got down to 13% and took 1st place in her category. She followed this up later in the year with a 1st place at the UKBFF Mr Hercules, and is now training hard for the 2011 British Grand Prix in March, and the UKBFF British Finals at the end of the year. Off the back of her impressive CV, she has appeared as a trainer on The Active Channel working with Miss England, and has landed several sponsorship deals, most notably with Iso-pure Supplements!

Another client dipping their oar into a challenge is Justin Johanneson. 35 year old Justin is an ultra-marathon runner, a triathlete and mountaineer whose achievements include the Marathon Des Sables, The IronMan, and Mont Blanc!!! He is now part of Team Hallin as they take on the world record attempt for the fastest ocean crossing… they plan to be the first team to complete the race in under 30days!!! Justin worked hard on his conditioning in the run up to his departure, and I’m sure he will be an integral part of the teams success!!!
