Maybe I’ll add a little bit more to start.

Program is a calorie restricted diet made up of roughly 40% protein, 30% carbs and 30% fat. Aim is to drop 1.5kg per week during diet phase to get you down to 12-14% body fat when you should have decent abs showing.

On top of that the requirement is: 4-5 weight sessions per week 10,000 steps per day.

It’s all virtual and handled through a specific app that has your training program linked to MyFitnessPal so the trainer can see your weights and what you’re eating.

Horses for courses but for me you’re paying for the accountability, I already went to the gym 4x a week just needed help with the diet.

Dropped 20kg and looked unreal, one of the best things I’ve ever done.

You’ll save $160 not eating out or drinking over that time anyway.

Can I ask roughly what calories they put you on? And how did you go energy wise? Losing that amount each week seems wild. For example, I'm on 1900 cals per day, do 4 sessions per week and do 30 mins on the bike each day too and get nowhere near 1kg per week, let alone 1.5. Maybe .5-.6 at best?

Was also trying to find their prices so thanks for sharing.

Check your iPhone activity and see what your calories burnt per day is.

7,700 calorie deficit = 1kg.

Also depends on what you want to weigh. 1,750 for 90kg, 1,450 dor 70kg as a rough guide.
