HOW TO LOSE 20 POUNDS FOR YOUR WEDDING DAY

Ah, the big day! If you’re like most women, you want to look and feel amazing walking down the aisle with your love.

Feel like getting there is an uphill battle?

It doesn’t have to be.

But don’t take my word for it.

Joanne Fahy from our studio location recently lost  20lbs and a total of 16.5 inches during our 6 Week Challenge! She also gained a better relationship with food and her body …oh and a not too shabby $500 towards her ongoing journey.

Here’s a little more on her journey so far:

What made you join Best Body Bootcamp?

I’m getting married this year so I wanted to join a bootcamp where I knew I would be held accountable for my workouts and my eating.

What do you love most about working with Best Body Bootcamp?

I love BBBC for the excellent workout sessions. Every session is tough but I always feel so amazing afterward. I love that the instructors are always so encouraging and supportive, pushing you when they know you can do better.

I also love that keeping track of your meals, and ratios are so easy. There is ALWAYS support and advice available from the experts if I have questions or I need help getting the balance right.

For me, this has made BBBC the best bootcamp I have ever been a part of.

What would you say was the biggest change you had to make to reach your goals and was it worth it?

The biggest change was changing my eating habits. Before BBBC I THOUGHT the food I was eating was healthy but I wasn’t losing weight. Once I hit my stride at BBBC, I learned so much more about food, how to track my food, which foods were more beneficial for my body and which ones I could only take in moderation.

I could see that my taste buds had changed and I didn’t need so much sugar in my diet, in fact, I cut out adding table sugar to my food and coffee and I think this helped me tremendously.

My healthy snacks are what I love now and these are real treats for me when I need something yummy.

At BBBC, I learned that it’s really all about balance. It took some time to adjust to the new lifestyle in the beginning, but when I really put my mind to it, BBBC encouraged me to do even better…to not settle for OK, to strive for an excellent workout…to strive for perfect macros at the end of each day.

I feel that this is a huge part of how I won the challenge.

What would you say to someone who is thinking about joining our program?

I would say DO IT!! I would tell them that the first two weeks are the hardest but stick with it….you’ll soon see the results if you track everything you eat and do an honest hard workout.

I would also tell them that the tracking isn’t bad at all and you start to just do it automatically. You can track your day as your watching TV at the end of the day. Eventually, I started tracking my next day the evening before.

The best advice I can give to a BBBC beginner is PLAN AHEAD!!! I learned the hard way…if you’re not prepared ahead of time, you fall into the trap of getting hungry and eating whatever you can get your hands on.

Prep meals ahead of time, try things you’ve never tried before, attend your gym sessions and

ENJOY!!!

 

Are you ready for the right support and system to get you the results you want? Join our next 6 Week Challenge!

My journey in fitness and nutrition is a little different than most. You see, I’m a former fat kid! The kid who was a total introvert! I was always the guy who was too embarrassed to take his shirt off at the beach! But I remember the day everything changed for me – I looked in the mirror and wasn’t happy with what I saw. I made the decision to change my body and my life. It was 1999 and I took a before pic and measurements and body fat and I entered the Body for Life Challenge. Over the next 90 days, I completely changed my eating habits, and worked out regularly. I actually was awarded the Canadian Grand Champion for my age category!

I was no longer the fat kid. I looked forward to getting to a beach so I could take my shirt off and I became more outgoing and fun! After seeing the difference it made in my life I decided that I wanted to dedicate my life to helping people realize the amazing benefits of optimal health and fitness.

I started out as most trainers do in your typical gym. After years of working in a gym setting, I was getting disillusioned with how Big Box Gyms operated. I wanted to train people functionally and to make their bodies strong in the movements they used in the real word. I wanted to make working with a highly trained instructor more affordable, and I wanted to make fitness fun because let’s face it; if you are having a blast, it makes it that much easier to stick to it. The result was the launching of Best Body . I have to tell you that although I looked great in the after pic above, the food and exercise plans I followed to get that after pic, hurt me in the long run. It made me look good from the outside but my body was breaking down on the inside. The way I was working out and what I thought was healthy eating was in fact hurting me in the long run. I was over training, taking longer to recover from my workouts, I tore my rotator cuff and had gut issues. Nothing I could do was helping and then I was introduced to a C.H.E.K Holistic Lifestyle Coach who helped me. Turns out I was stressing my body beyond repair and then giving it food that wasn’t helping but was actually stressing my body even more. He made me look at my body and the food I put into it in a totally different way.

That lead me to complete my certification as a C.H.E.K Holistic Lifestyle Coach and we pass that knowledge on and encourage holistic nutrition to our members.

In addition to running the day-to-day operations of Best Body Bootcamp, I also work with individual clients doing fitness training as well as holistic nutrition and lifestyle coaching.

When I’ve got a bit of free time, I spend as much of it as possible with my wife and son, I bike year round, play hockey, practice Tai Chi daily, read & take courses.

I hope to see you soon so we can transform your body and life!

DANIELA NAHAS

My journey in fitness and health began about 15 years ago. Before that, like many of you I struggled with yo-yo dieting, and doing countless hours of cardio just to stay looking slim. Boy I wish I could talk some sense into my past self! But health is a journey and I am so grateful for all of my experiences, which have shaped what I have to offer our members today.
Over the years I have experienced first hand the life changing benefits of incorporating the right kind of exercise into my life. That motivated me to become a personal trainer 15 years ago, and it still continues to motivate me today. I want everyone to be able to to experience what exercise can do for their well being, self confidence and physique.
I used to struggle with my nutrition in a big way, so I completely empathize with you, if this is the hardest part for you when it comes to seeing long term change. I once struggled with eating disorders, followed by any years of a very negative relationship to food, even during my initial years as a personal trainer.

It occurred to me one day that I could not help my clients make changes and make better choices, without first focusing on myself. It was through completing my Holistic Lifestyle Coach Certification that I was able to change my relationship to food and be able to genuinely help clients get closer to their goals.

My increasing passion for nutrition and health led me to become certified as a Health Coach. As a health coach, I am able to help my clients delve deeper into your relationship with food and their health. What lies beneath our patterns and habits is fascinating and when you can tap into that it can have an incredibly powerful impact on our lives, and bring about real change!

These days I leave most of the bootcamp training to our awesome trainers, but I continue to share my passion for nutrition and fitness in our private member facebook group and work on our ever evolving member offerings.

My other passion? I am the luckiest mom to a 9-year-old boy. He keeps me on my toes and I must admit has helped me grow in ways I never thought possible. Together with hubby Roger Nahas, we like to spend plenty of time outdoors, along with the latest family hobby – board games.

When I get me time, I like to do yoga, read, cook, and spend time in nature.

I look forward to having you join us!

KARSTEN DICKIE

Hey BBBC family! My name is Karsten Dickie and I am a coach at King West Best Body Bootcamp.

Growing up I was very involved in sports. I played competitive volleyball, basketball and hockey. I was always fascinated with how the body works, nutrition, strength training and anything that involved athletics. Applying my knowledge I noticed improvement of my health, energy and body transformation which then had me hooked on weight training. That’s when I knew I wanted to help impact people’s lives and share my knowledge about exercise, mobility and nutrition to help achieve their goals.

I received my diploma from Algonquin College for Fitness & Health Promotion and I have been doing group training for six years now. Additionally, I’ve trained hockey teams, volleyball teams, large event groups, and one-on-one training.

I’m passionate about enhancing the health, fitness and overall well-being of clients. With my skills and knowledge, I help clients achieve their goals in and out of the gym.

Outside of training I like to do yoga, read, play team sports, and spend time with my friends and family.

I am very happy to be a member of BBBC. Even if November has been busy and I could not come a lot, my coach was following with me and I was pushed to come back. When I came back, I felt so much energy.
