Jurriaan was 43 and feltĀ middle age quickly creeping up on him.Ā Ā
Every time he looked in the mirror, he saw his old dad.Ā
Not willing to give in to the middle-aged spread, heĀ signed up with Ultimate Performance in April just before lockdown interrupted his transformationĀ programme.Ā

āTowards the end, I was starting to see results, and it was awesome. Sometimes before I went to bed, I would brush my teeth in front of the mirror and goĀ wow! Is that my body? damn, itās never been this good.āĀ
Jurriaan joined U.P. with a little bit of belly and zero stamina. And while he was only able to squeeze in threeĀ sessions in the gym before lockdown measures shut down the gym, he completed his transformation goals ā losingĀ 10kg (22lbs) and 12% body fat in sixĀ months.Ā
āI felt like I needed to do something about my body. I have been busy and have not really been taking care of myself. I wasnāt really concerned about losing weight; I actually wanted to gain some muscle.āĀ
āBefore the lockdown, we didĀ threeĀ sessions ā one of which was the intake. So, when the lockdown came into effect, it became clear that I could continue at home.Ā Ā
āAt first, I bought some dumbbells and kettlebells and set up a trainingĀ programme. And then a week later, U.P.ās lockdownĀ programmeĀ came into effect, and we were invited to join.āĀ
Jurriaan, like many others, wasnāt sure if he would be able to manage a rigorous transformationĀ programmeĀ on his own without specialized equipment and the gym discipline.Ā Ā
However, the one-on-one virtual sessions kept him motivated and on track throughout the lockdown and beyond.Ā Ā Ā
āI wasnāt really sure how I would be comfortable doing all this at home in front of a camera. But we made it work at home with all those weights.Ā
āSo, it wasĀ actually quite inspiring that we made it possible. When the virtual sessions came along it was almost like a reset; like OK, I can get into this again.āĀ
āThe sessions were great for problem-solving as well. Like diet,Ā forĀ example;Ā I had a lot of questions about what I should be eating, proteins, etc.Ā Ā
āDuring the sessions, we also discussed the formĀ and I was really comfortable with the exercises as I could ask when I wasnāt sure if I was doing something right.āĀ
Jurriaan was doing a lot of measuring and tracking himself and when the results started showing he knew all that hard work to eat right and sticking to his workouts had finally paid off.Ā
āI was marking my weight every day; what I was eating. And I was trying to meet those goals within those limits ā eat right and sleep right and do all those things. It became a sort of like a game.Ā
āMyĀ favouriteĀ part are my shoulders. Earlier,Ā they reminded me of my old father. I had this belly, flat chest, flabby shoulders and now all that is gone.Ā Ā
āI haveĀ actually bounced back to a point where I wasnāt even sure I could go because I had never been there. That feltĀ really good.Ā
āI have a few friends who at first were likeĀ āthis is crazy!āĀ and now they are asking me the name of the gym I am going to. I recommend U.P. to everyone!āĀ
