Client of the Month: Lucas

Lucas’ incredible 20kg body transformation has got him fit and fired up to excel in his studies at university.

Just a few months earlier and 17-year-old Lucas’ diet and weight were out of control.

He says his love of food and uncontrolled diet had turned him into a slow-moving, overweight teenager and he didn’t know how to turn things around.

Luckily, his dad had already experienced a life-changing transformation at Ultimate Performance Hong Kong and believed Lucas could benefit too.

The programme has been nothing short of a revelation for Lucas who has lost 20kg in 18 weeks along with two thirds of his body fat.

His body shape has changed dramatically, but it’s had an incredible effect on his studies and it has taught him lifelong lessons which will help him stay mentally sharp and in shape for good.

“This transformation has changed my entire life. It has changed the way I think and the way I look.

"I never expected to get the results I achieved, and now it's amazing to see my six-pack - I have never seen my abs before.

“Achieving these goals have given me motivation and hope. I now understand that I am able to accomplish much more than what I think I can.”

IT'S NEVER TOO EARLY (OR TOO LATE) TO GET IN SHAPE.

As the results started kicking in, Lucas’ friends and family started noticing the changes.

The compliments started flooding in, which was a nice motivator for Lucas.

“When people started to comment on the physical changes, it felt kind of nice. It certainly made my time at school more enjoyable!

“The people around me have also expressed how proud they are of me and my hard work, and all that does it make me more proud of myself, and give me more motivation to continue to work harder and push myself even further.

"I am a lot more confident and a lot less self-conscious. I don't have to think about what other people are thinking of me.”

While the compliments about his new physique have been gratifying for Lucas, it has been the impact of his transformation on his wider life that have made the biggest difference.

He became more disciplined in his studies, more organised and mentally sharper.

He's starting college next year, and the transformation has given him an extra dose of confidence to carry to his university campus.

“The transformation I have achieved with my physique has helped me uplift a lot of other areas in my life. I am more positive; I have good energy, and I am more focused, more disciplined.

“I feel like I am a happier person all around. I don’t know how and why that happened, but as soon as I started working out I became a lot more disciplined, and I started doing more of my school work.

“I definitely feel more confident and I more open with other people. I carry myself in a more mature way.”

Inspired by his transformation, several of his friends have also signed up at U.P. For Lucas, personally, the U.P. transformation might have ended, but the effects will continue to impact his life for years to come.

“This transformation will help me in every aspect of life going forward.

“The most important things I learned throughout this journey go beyond physical fitness.

“Being 17, Beau and a bunch of other trainers have had a huge impact on my development as a person. My trainers have taught me how to be a man and countless amounts of life lessons. I will be forever grateful for each and every one of them.

“U.P. is so much more than just a personal trainer who works out with you a few times a week.”
