How CEO Paul Lost 12kg to Get His Dream 6-Pack at 38

Business owner and CEO Paul wanted to look and feel ten years younger…
But he was stuck in the cycle of doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result… the boozy nights out each weekend were taking their toll on work and his body. He was low on energy, stressed, plagued by injuries, and knew he couldn’t keep trying to out-train a bad diet.
Before joining, Paul couldn’t run 1km without knee or back pain, now he’s consistently doing 15 to 20kms a week without injury.
So Paul came to us with one request: “I want to look and feel 10 years younger". A hard task… but since joining, he is in the best shape of his life and agrees, “we have been successful”
“Joining Lockeroom and actually utilising all their services has changed my life for the better in every way!”
In Paul’s words
Before Lockeroom, what challenges were you facing?
I’ve always been fit, but never in brilliant shape. Huge working hours for years, whilst being very fit, the diet was neglected. The result, low on energy, often injured due to inflammation, and you simply can’t out-train a bad diet, especially not injured.
Add in the boozy nights out each weekend and the body was just being stressed in too many ways as the training intensity simply kept increasing to try and out-train the bad lifestyle habits.
How did you know you needed to make a change?
Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result… something a very smart man once said that’s the definition of insanity, so it was time for a change.
I personally work well when I am held accountable. I believe no matter how disciplined you are, you’ll always achieve more with someone holding you accountable, a coach who has walked the path you wish to walk.
How has Lockeroom helped you overcome those challenges?
“Every single coach at Lockeroom is AWESOME! They focus on lifting technique to not get injured, leave the ego at the door and build long term sustainable results.”
Not only the physical component, but the nutritional component has been the biggest game changer as I now have my diet dialled in. When I matched my training with my diet the results started to show in a serious way!

What are you most proud of achieving since joining?
Getting leaner than I ever thought I could with 10% body fat, getting fitter than I’ve been with a VO2 max of 56, and getting my blood work back pretty much perfect.
To be frank when I joined, I was asked the question, what are your goals, what do you want help with. My answer was simple, I want to look and feel 10 years younger, so I essentially asked the team to help me reverse aging.
A hard task, but one that’s been successful, in my opinion!
What’s your favourite thing about Lockeroom?
The people, both coaches and members. You get to connect with a bunch of likely minded individuals all highly successful in their own right. Spending time with people like this just motivates you to do more, and the coaches are the best of the best too… a win-win!
Not only is Lockeroom a great community, with elite trainers, but the diversity of training options are brilliant.
And last but definitely not least, the boxing classes… I LOVE these, so good for fitness, the mind body connection, confidence in general, just brilliant.
