How Accountant Geoff Lost 27kg and Beat Chronic Back Pain at 37
Written by

Geoff was killing it as a partner at his accounting firm, but his back pain was killing him.
Geoff had reached an ultimatum in his mind. Continue barely making it through long work hours or address his chronic back pain that was making him feel 20 years older.
He was constantly sore and overweight, and knew he needed to get it under control or it would start negatively impacting his career.
Being an accountant, Geoff was attracted to the numbers driven and scientific approach we take to weight loss at Lockeroom. He knew that if he was going to turn things around, he needed the right plan and accountability to stick to it.
Now, Geoff has more than halved his body fat, from a staggering 32.4% down to 15.2% for a whopping 27kg weight loss!
He has completely turned his life around and is now happier than ever, “I’m proud that I’m a ‘healthy’ guy now".
In Geoff’s words
Before Lockeroom, what were the challenges you were facing?
Before Lockeroom, I had not given any priority to my health and fitness for ten years or more. My weight had crept up over the years and whilst I intuitively knew I needed to do something to get it under control, I didn’t know where to start.
How did you know you needed to make a change?
I just felt really old for 37. I was over weight, inactive and had chronic lower back pain. I didn’t know what to do or when to do it and that brought me to Lockeroom.
How has Lockeroom helped you overcome those challenges?
The coaches at lockeroom do all of the thinking for me. Programs are set based on my goals, and every set and rep is tracked and monitored. The nutrition coaching is also a massive part of the equation for me, and helped me adopt better habits with food.
What are you most proud of achieving since joining?
“I am most proud of my consistency and commitment to training and nutrition since joining Lockeroom. ”
From someone who did virtually no exercise a year ago to being in the gym at least four days a week - I am proud that i am a “healthy” guy now. I have now officially lost 27kg and gone from 32.4% body fat to 15.2%!
What’s your favourite thing about Lockeroom?
I’m an accountant so i’m a numbers guy and Andy (my nutritionist) has helped me log my calories which i’ve quite enjoyed.
You can always get a PT in, there’s a session every 40 minutes so it leaves no excuses anymore. Everything also being together has been really beneficial… The nutrition, the medicals and the training work so well together.
