Transformation HQ Success Story
22 Pounds Down And Back In Control Again
Andrew wasn’t doing nothing.
That was the frustrating part.
He was trying.
A few gym sessions here and there.
Making better choices with food when he could.
Telling himself he’d get back on it properly next week.
But as he moved into his 40s, his body started changing faster than his results were.
“As I hit my 40s my weight gain increased and my body composition started to change with more weight being carried on my stomach, chest and hips. The main challenge I had was with consistency and maintaining a healthy diet.”
That’s where most men get stuck.
You’re putting effort in, but it’s not matching what you see in the mirror.
You still feel like yourself in your head, but your body’s drifting the wrong way.
More weight around the middle.
Softer through the chest.
Clothes not sitting right.
And the worst bit?
You know you should be in better shape than this for the effort you’re putting in.
That was Andrew.
Not lazy.
Not clueless.
Just stuck in that cycle of doing a bit, stopping, starting again… and never really getting anywhere.
Like most men, he’d also built gyms up in his head.
“New gyms can always be intimidating, but the onboarding process was excellent and very friendly, and the fellow members were very welcoming”
That hesitation is real.
Walking into somewhere new.
Not knowing anyone.
Feeling like you’re behind.
But instead of being thrown into a packed class or left to figure things out alone, he started with the 6 Week Meltdown.
Three coached sessions a week.
Small group.
Clear structure.
No random workouts.
No guesswork.
A simple meal plan he could actually follow alongside work and life.
Nothing extreme.
Just something that made sense and was repeatable.
And for the first time in a while, everything lined up.
Training.
Food.
Accountability.
That’s when things started moving.
The weight began to come down.
Strength picked up.
Energy improved.
And more importantly, he stopped restarting.
That’s the bit most people never fix.
They keep going round in circles.
Andrew didn’t.
He built momentum over those first six weeks, then instead of falling off like most people do, he carried on with the monthly rolling membership.
Same structure.
Same support.
No contract locking him in.
Just consistency.
That’s where his body really started to change.
From there, he stepped things up further and went into the 12 Week Shoot phase when he was ready to push again.
The result speaks for itself.
“Dropped over 10kg, built some great friendships with members and trainers”
That’s over 22 pounds gone.
His waist dropped from 34 to 32 inches.
Chest from 40 to 36 inches.
Not just lighter.
Leaner.
Stronger.
More athletic.
That level of change didn’t go unnoticed either.
Andrew was the £500 winner for Transformation HQ Ashbourne’s member of the year award, not just for the transformation, but for actually keeping the results.




“100%, I am fitter, stronger with a consistent balanced training and diet plan which has really enhanced my lifestyle”
And that’s what most men actually want.
Not just to lose a bit of weight.
But to feel back in control.
To look sharp again.
To know that when they’re putting effort in, it’s actually working.
Andrew kept it simple.
“Diet and regular training is key, pushing yourself each session for the extra 1-2% and on the days when you don’t feel like training….always train”
No magic.
No shortcuts.
Just doing the basics properly, week after week.
And that’s where most other options fall short.
Gym classes will make you sweat, but they don’t give you a clear path forward.
Standard gyms give you access, but no direction.
Even one to one PT can end up being a couple of sessions a week with no real structure outside of them.
So you’re back where you started.
Trying, but not progressing.
This was different.
Everything worked together.
Training, food, accountability, progression.
So instead of spinning his wheels, Andrew moved forward.
“If they want a process that is focused on results, Transformation HQ is the way forward”
Straight to the point.
And if you’re reading this, there’s a good chance parts of it sound familiar.
You’re making an effort, but not seeing the return.
You’ve told yourself you’ll get back on it properly more times than you can count.
You know you should be in better shape than you are right now.
At some point, you’ve got to stop restarting and actually follow something that works.
Because another six months of doing what you’ve always done will get you exactly where you are now.
Or worse.
Andrew sorted it.
You can too.
