David’s transformation journey

David approached Coach Kev six months back when he weighed around 123 kgs. As a 48-year-old man, he was quite active, runs a business, and even coaches his kids’ basketball and soccer teams. But he was not happy with his health, and he knew that he needed to make a change to achieve what he wanted.

Airport seats were uncomfortable for him, and he was constantly stressed about his looks. Nothing used to fit him right. Out of stress and anxiety, he used to grab junk food on his way to work. He wanted to fix his lifestyle but wasn’t able to do so alone, and here’s when Coach Kev helped me achieve his fitness goals. He dropped around 31 kgs in six months and went from squeezing into 46 shorts to buying 38s.
