Transformation Stories
Real people. Real change. Real lives transformed.
Every transformation begins long before the results become visible.
The stories below aren't simply about losing weight or improving fitness. They're about people who decided they wanted something more from life and committed to becoming a better version of themselves.
Every person came with different goals, different challenges and different starting points. Together, we focused on creating lasting change through personalised coaching, sustainable habits and small daily improvements that compound over time.
The physical results are remarkable, but they are simply the outcome of something much deeper.
Every transformation started with a decision to become a better version of themselves, one small improvement at a time.
Ruth Eshuis, 27 yrs, Lost 66kgs
From Feeling Stuck to Living a Completely Different Life
When Ruth first came to work with me, she weighed 135kg and felt overwhelmed by the challenge ahead. Like many people, she'd tried countless approaches before, only to find herself back where she started.
Together, we didn't chase another quick fix. We built a sustainable way of living.
Over time, Ruth lost an extraordinary 66kg, reduced more than two metres from her body measurements and was recognised as Studioz Personal Training's Client of the Year. Those numbers are remarkable, but they are only part of the story.
The real transformation was the person Ruth became.
She developed daily routines she could maintain, built confidence in herself, created a healthier relationship with food and exercise, and discovered that lasting change comes from consistently improving the small things rather than searching for perfection.
Today, the habits she built continue to benefit not only her own life but also those around her.
"Becoming healthy has meant so much for me. I feel strong, well, freed and equipped. I love my new routines and eating habits, and the fun of discovering many unexpected benefits of weight loss. What I've learnt this year will help me for a lifetime, and it's even helped my family, friends and co-workers to reach their fitness goals. Thanks, Robb."
Kristy Whiting, 30 yrs, Lost 50kgs
Reclaiming More Than Her Health
When Kristy first began coaching, she had one clear goal: to take back control of her health and create a life she could be proud of.
Over the following 12 months, she achieved something extraordinary.
Kristy lost an incredible 50kg, but the number on the scales tells only part of the story.
The real transformation came through the habits, mindset and confidence she developed along the way. Rather than following another short-term diet or relying on motivation alone, we focused on building sustainable routines that fitted her life and could continue long after she reached her goal.
As her confidence grew, so did her ambition. With just 15kg remaining to reach her original target, our coaching shifted beyond weight loss and towards creating a bigger vision for the person she wanted to become.
Kristy's journey is a reminder that lasting transformation isn't simply about changing your body. It's about changing your identity, your standards and your belief in what's possible.
Kristy says:
"The mind, body and soul transformational journey I've undergone with Robb has been an amazing experience and I'm incredibly grateful.
Robb designed a personalised nutrition and training plan that gave me the structure, confidence and belief to achieve goals I never thought were possible.
Every step of the way he has supported, guided, challenged and encouraged me, continually helping me realise that I am capable of far more than I ever believed."
Lauren Stapleton, 35 yrs, Lost 10kgs
Rediscovering Confidence After Motherhood
Becoming a parent changes every part of life. Priorities shift, routines disappear and it's easy for your own health to fall to the bottom of the list.
That was exactly where Lauren found herself.
After the birth of her first child, she had gained 30kg and, despite her determination, had reached a point where her progress had stalled. Like many people, she had tried working harder without achieving the results she deserved.
Rather than chasing another quick fix, we focused on building sustainable habits that fitted around her new life as a mum.
The transformation was remarkable.
Lauren lost more than 10kg of body fat, reduced a total of 45cm across her body and dramatically improved her strength, confidence and body composition. The woman who once found push-ups, squats and sit-ups incredibly challenging became someone who trained with confidence and consistency.
Perhaps most importantly, she didn't just achieve her original goal of returning to her pre-baby weight. She discovered a new level of confidence and set an even bigger goal: training to complete her first 10km run.
Lauren's journey demonstrates that lasting transformation isn't about trying harder. It's about building the right habits, receiving the right guidance and believing that change is possible.
Lauren says:
"I had been looking for ways to lose the 30kg I gained with my first baby and had reached a standstill. After seeing the success other clients had achieved with Robb, I decided to trust the process.
The personalised nutrition and coaching gave me a clear plan that I could actually stick to. I'm now back to my pre-baby weight, feel fantastic and have goals that go far beyond simply losing weight.
I still train regularly and have even started running again with the goal of completing my first 10km event. Looking back, this journey has given me far more than physical results. It has given me confidence in myself again."
Karen Westwood, 40 yrs, lost 11.5kgs
Changing Habits That Last
When Karen began coaching, she wasn't simply chasing a number on the scales.
She wanted to feel like herself again.
Her goals were clear: regain her energy, stop feeling "blah" every day and comfortably wear the clothes she loved again.
Over the next 12 weeks, Karen transformed far more than her body.
She lost an incredible 11.5kg and reduced a total of 58cm across her arms, chest, waist, hips and thighs. More importantly, she replaced the habits that had been holding her back with routines she could sustain for life.
The physical transformation was obvious, but the biggest change was the confidence that came from knowing she was back in control of her health and future.
Karen's journey is proof that lasting success doesn't come from relying on motivation. It comes from having the right support, a clear plan and consistently building better habits.
Karen says:
"It's made such a difference having Robb in my corner. Having someone who genuinely supports you and gives you the tools to change the habits that have been holding you back is priceless.
The structure, accountability and coaching have helped me create changes I know I can maintain. I feel healthier, more energetic and more confident than I have in years."
Louise, 29 yrs lost 22kgs
Sometimes the hardest part of any transformation is simply getting started.
For Louise, that first step came after her sister encouraged her to give coaching a try. It wasn't a decision she made with complete confidence, but it's one she has never regretted.
Over the next 11 weeks, Louise achieved an extraordinary transformation.
She lost 11.7kg and reduced a total of 39.5cm across her arms, chest, waist, hips and legs. The physical results were remarkable, but the biggest changes happened in how she felt every day.
Before beginning her journey, Louise struggled with low energy, poor sleep and simple activities that left her exhausted. As healthier habits became part of her routine, her energy returned, her confidence grew and everyday life became easier and more enjoyable.
Her story is a reminder that you don't have to feel ready before you begin. Sometimes the biggest breakthroughs come from simply saying yes to the opportunity to change.
Louise says:
"Before I started, I was constantly tired, wasn't sleeping well and had very little energy. Even going for a walk would leave me exhausted.
Now I feel fantastic after every training session. I'm wearing clothes I haven't been able to wear for years, and I never imagined it would be possible to lose more than 11kg in just 11 weeks. It's been an incredible journey."
Every transformation started with a decision to become a better version of themselves, one small improvement at a time.
Kelly Colbourne, 33 yr, lost 10kgs
Becoming Stronger Than She Thought Possible
As a busy mum of three, Kelly wanted more than just weight loss. She wanted to feel stronger, healthier and more confident in herself again.
When we first started working together, even the basic movements felt challenging. Push-ups, squats and holding a plank required determination, and every session was about building confidence as much as fitness.
Rather than chasing quick results, we focused on developing sustainable habits, gradually increasing her strength and creating a healthier lifestyle that worked around family life.
The transformation has been remarkable.
Kelly lost more than 10kg, reduced a total of 44cm across her body and dramatically improved her strength and fitness. The woman who once struggled through the fundamentals now achieves personal bests across multiple fitness assessments.
More importantly, Kelly discovered what so many people do when they commit to lasting change: confidence grows every time you prove to yourself that you're capable of more than you once believed.
Choosing Yourself Again
Some transformations have very little to do with the number on the scales.
Jackie's story is one of resilience, perspective and learning that lasting change begins by valuing your own health.
When Jackie first began coaching alongside her husband, she found it difficult watching him lose weight more quickly than she was, despite preparing the same meals and following the same plan. Like many people, she began questioning whether she was failing.
The reality was very different.
Jackie was managing significant health challenges while continuing to show up, stay consistent and focus on what she could control. Rather than comparing her progress to someone else's, we shifted the focus towards building sustainable habits, celebrating every improvement and recognising that every person's journey is unique.
That change in thinking transformed everything.
Over time, Jackie lost 8.5kg, reduced her body fat by 4.3% and lost a total of 36cm across her body. Yet the greatest victories weren't physical.
She regained confidence, improved her energy, made the courageous decision to reduce her work commitments after a life-changing health scare and began prioritising her own wellbeing for the first time in years.
Perhaps most importantly, Jackie discovered that no matter what health challenges life presents, there is always a way to keep moving forward.
Jackie says:
"I realised I wasn't failing. I simply needed to stop comparing my journey to everyone else's.
After a near-death experience, I understood that this is my time. Looking after my health isn't selfish—it's essential for both me and my family.
Robb helped me see the importance of putting myself first. No matter what health challenges I've faced, he's always found a way to adapt my program and keep me moving forward. I now know I have the tools, confidence and mindset to continue this journey for life."
Jackie Stevens, 50 yrs, Life Change
Elaine Forbes, 48 yrs, lost 7.5 kgs
The Power of Consistency
One of the greatest myths about transformation is that it requires perfection.
Elaine's journey proves the opposite.
She didn't rely on motivation or dramatic changes. Instead, she committed to showing up, following a personalised plan and trusting the process one day at a time.
The results followed.
In just nine weeks, Elaine lost 7.5kg, reduced her body fat and lost a total of 31cm across her chest, waist, hips, thighs and arms. More importantly, she rediscovered the energy, confidence and enthusiasm that had been missing for years.
Clothes that once felt too tight became loose again, everyday life became easier and exercise transformed from something she feared into something she genuinely enjoyed.
The secret wasn't a miracle program. It was consistency.
By following a personalised nutrition plan, committing to regular training and embracing coaching every step of the way, Elaine created results that were built to last.
David Gadalla, 19 yrs, lost 43.7 kgs
Changing Our Identity Changes Everything
At just 19 years of age, David arrived feeling completely stuck.
He weighed 140kg, had very little energy, lacked direction and admitted he wasn't happy with the person he had become.
What followed wasn't simply a weight loss journey.
It was a complete shift in identity.
Instead of searching for another quick fix, David committed to becoming someone who lived differently every day. He found role models who inspired him, embraced discipline over motivation and gradually built habits that became part of who he was.
The transformation was extraordinary.
David lost an incredible 43.7kg, but what impressed me most wasn't the number on the scales. It was the ownership he took over his life.
Months later, David contacted me with an updated photo and one simple request.
He wanted to earn a place on the Studioz Success Wall.
Not because someone had given it to him, but because he knew he had earned it.
David says:
"I realised that lasting change starts with changing the way you think.
I found people who inspired me and adopted the discipline and standards they lived by. Over time those behaviours became habits, and eventually they became part of who I am.
Preparing my own meals, training consistently and working towards meaningful goals no longer feels like something I have to do. It's simply how I choose to live."
Anna Alderton, 69 yrs, 200% Strength Increase
It’s Never Too Late to Become Stronger
One of the biggest barriers to change isn't age.
It's believing that age determines what you're capable of.
When Anna began coaching at 69 years of age, she could easily have convinced herself that it was too late to become stronger or improve her fitness. Instead, she chose to challenge those beliefs and discover what was still possible.
The results were extraordinary.
In just four weeks, Anna achieved a 200% improvement in upper body strength, increased her lower body strength by 32%, improved her abdominal and core strength, enhanced her cardiovascular fitness and proved that meaningful progress can happen at any stage of life.
But perhaps the greatest result wasn't measured in percentages.
It was the inspiration she became to everyone training around her.
Anna demonstrated that lasting transformation has nothing to do with age. It comes from being willing to take the first step, remain consistent and continue believing that improvement is always possible.
Anna's story reminds us that our greatest limitations are often the ones we place on ourselves.
Travis Robbins, 34 yrs, lost 16.5 kgs
Choosing a Better Future
When Travis first came to coaching, he wasn't simply looking to lose weight.
He wanted to change the direction his life was heading.
Health concerns had become impossible to ignore, his confidence had dropped and something as simple as buying clothes that fitted had become frustrating. Most importantly, he wanted the energy to enjoy life with his children instead of feeling held back by his health.
Together, we focused on creating a sustainable plan that fitted his lifestyle rather than another short-term solution.
The results were remarkable.
In just 16 weeks, Travis lost 16.5kg, reduced his body fat by more than 6% and lost a total of 37cm across his chest, waist, hips and thighs.
But the greatest transformation wasn't physical.
It was seeing Travis regain his confidence, rediscover his energy and experience the freedom that comes from taking ownership of your health and future.
Travis says:
"I knew I needed to change my lifestyle and my eating habits. I wasn't looking for another quick fix—I wanted a plan that would actually work for me.
From my very first meeting with Robb, I walked away believing I could achieve my goals. The structure, accountability and personalised coaching gave me the confidence to keep going.
Today I have more energy, I'm fitter, I enjoy playing with my kids without feeling exhausted, and I finally feel like I'm back in control of my health.
The biggest surprise? I actually enjoy the lifestyle I've created."
Every transformation started with a decision to become a better version of themselves, one small improvement at a time.
Brendan Hughan, 42 yrs, lost 7.2 kgs
The Goal Was Just the Beginning
Sometimes all it takes is one meaningful goal to create lasting momentum.
When Brendan first came to coaching, he set himself a very specific challenge: to reach 80kg by Christmas.
It wasn't just about the number. It was about proving to himself that he could follow through on a commitment and finally take control of his health.
Together, we built a personalised plan that suited his lifestyle, focused on sustainable nutrition and consistent training, and removed the guesswork from the process.
The results exceeded every expectation.
In just four weeks, Brendan didn't simply achieve his goal—he surpassed it.
He lost 7.2kg, reached 78kg, reduced his body fat by 4.1% and lost a total of 24.75cm across his chest, waist, hips, thighs and arms.
More importantly, he discovered that lasting change isn't created by waiting for the perfect time. It's created by making a decision and consistently honouring it every day.
Reaching his Christmas goal wasn't the finish line.
It was the beginning of a healthier, more confident version of himself.
Tina Fahey, 43 yrs, lost 20.9kgs
More Than a Physical Transformation
Some transformations are measured in kilograms.
Others are measured in the way a person begins to experience life again.
Tina's journey was both.
Over time, she lost an incredible 20.9kg, reduced her body fat by almost 10% and lost a total of 77cm across her chest, waist, hips and thighs. Her physical transformation was remarkable, but the biggest change couldn't be captured in a photograph.
She rediscovered her confidence.
Shopping for clothes became exciting again. Her energy returned. She threw herself back into playing tennis and embraced life with a level of enthusiasm she hadn't felt for years.
The numbers reflected her progress, but they weren't the reason she smiled.
The real transformation was becoming someone who felt healthy, optimistic and excited about the future again.
Tina says:
"Finding Robb when I did changed far more than my health. The only regret I have is that I didn't meet him sooner.
I love my new body, but even more than that, I love how I feel. I have so much more energy, I enjoy life again and I've discovered a confidence I hadn't felt for years.
The guidance, encouragement and belief Robb showed in me helped me believe in myself. Looking back, this journey has given me far more than physical results—it has helped me build a better life."
Allison Van Roy, 44 yrs, lost 3.8 kgs
Success Isn’t Always Measured By The Scales
One of the biggest myths in health and performance is that the number on the scales tells the whole story.
Allison's transformation proves otherwise.
From the outside, many people would have assumed she didn't need to change anything. But Allison wasn't interested in being average—she wanted to become the very best version of herself.
Together, we shifted the focus away from chasing weight loss and towards improving body composition, strength and overall health.
The results spoke for themselves.
While the scales showed a loss of 2.5kg, Allison actually lost 3.8kg of body fat, reduced her body fat by 5.9% and gained 1.3kg of lean muscle.
The lesson?
The most meaningful transformations aren't always the most obvious. Lasting change is about improving the quality of your body, your health and your habits—not simply making the number on the scales smaller.
Allison says:
"I was training hard but couldn't understand why I wasn't getting the results I wanted.
Working with Robb completely changed the way I looked at nutrition and exercise. I learnt that eating well doesn't mean feeling hungry, and I finally understood how to train and fuel my body properly.
The results exceeded my expectations, but even more importantly, I now have the knowledge and confidence to maintain them for life."
Every transformation started with a decision to become a better version of themselves, one small improvement at a time.
Ron Smelter, 54 yrs, lost 23 kgs
The Decision That Changed Everything
Sometimes one photograph is enough to change the course of your life.
For Ron, that moment came while travelling overseas on business.
Seeing a photo of himself sitting in a chair forced him to confront something he had been avoiding for years. His weight was increasing, his blood pressure was dangerously high, his energy had disappeared and every evening ended the same way—exhausted, sitting in front of the television with nothing left to give.
He knew something had to change.
Together, we built a personalised coaching plan focused on sustainable nutrition, consistent training and creating habits that could last a lifetime.
The results were extraordinary.
Ron lost 23kg, reduced his body fat by 12.9% and lost a total of 80cm across his chest, waist, hips and thighs.
But the physical transformation was only the beginning.
His blood pressure returned to healthy levels. His energy came back. Cycling became part of his life again. Instead of collapsing into his favourite chair after work, he wanted to get outside and enjoy life.
Perhaps the greatest reward came at home.
Seeing Ron's transformation inspired his wife to begin her own journey, creating healthier habits for the entire family.
Ron says:
"Looking back, deciding to take control of my health changed far more than my appearance.
My blood pressure is healthy, I have more energy than I've had in years and I genuinely enjoy being active again. Exercise isn't something I force myself to do—it's simply part of my life now.
Working with Robb gave me the knowledge and confidence to create a healthier balance between work and life. I know I have the tools to maintain these habits for the long term.
And there's one extra benefit I certainly wasn't expecting... my wife tells me I'm hot again!"
Kez Shiels, 27 yrs, lost 20.7 kgs
Discovering a New Way to Live
Some transformations are so significant that they change the direction of a person's life.
Kez's journey is one of those stories.
When we first began working together, the focus was on improving her health. What followed was a complete transformation in the way she lived, thought and cared for herself.
The physical results were extraordinary.
Kez lost an incredible 20.7kg, reduced her body fat by 19.5% and lost a remarkable 97.25cm across her chest, waist, hips and thighs.
But those numbers only tell part of the story.
As her confidence grew, so did her enthusiasm for life. Activities she had never imagined enjoying became part of her routine. She discovered a love of cycling, dramatically improved her health markers and built habits that gave her the confidence to maintain her results long into the future.
Perhaps the greatest transformation was the way she began to see herself.
Instead of wondering whether change was possible, she became living proof that it was.
Kez says:
"People who hadn't seen me for a while couldn't believe the difference and always wanted to know what I'd done.
I genuinely love training now, I've taken up cycling and my cholesterol is the lowest it's ever been.
Looking back, this journey has given me so much more than physical results. It has completely changed the way I live my life."
Sam Bailey, 34 yrs, lost 11 kgs
Becoming The Dad He Wanted To Be
The arrival of his first child gave Sam a new perspective. He realised that looking after his health wasn't just about himself anymore. He wanted the energy, strength and longevity to be the best husband and father he could be.
Searching for the right coach led him to Studioz, but what followed became far more than a fitness program.
Together, we created a personalised plan that combined sustainable nutrition, progressive training and ongoing coaching designed to fit his life.
The results were outstanding.
In just 12 weeks, Sam lost 11kg, reduced his body fat by 5.4% and lost a total of 36cm across his chest, waist, hips and thighs.
Yet the most significant changes couldn't be measured with scales or tape measures.
Within weeks, his reliance on medication began to reduce. By the end of the program, he no longer needed it at all, improving both his health and saving hundreds of dollars each year.
His confidence grew, his energy returned and the healthy habits he had built became something he wanted to pass on to his family.
With a completely different outlook on life, Sam set himself goals that once seemed impossible, including completing his first half marathon and trekking the Kokoda Track.
Sam says:
"Becoming a dad made me realise it was time to change the direction of my health.
From our very first meeting, I knew I had found the right coach. The personalised plan was easy to follow, the support was always there and every week I could see myself making progress.
The biggest surprise wasn't the weight loss. It was coming off medication completely, having more energy than I'd had in years and knowing these habits had become part of who I am.
Today, I'm excited about living this way and setting an example for my family for years to come."
Tiz, Justine & Naomi, Overland Track
Not every transformation begins with a desire to lose weight.
Sometimes it begins with a dream.
For this family, that dream was completing the Overland Track in Tasmania, a demanding nine-day wilderness trek that required strength, endurance and confidence.
They wanted more than just a training program. They wanted someone who understood their goal and could prepare them for the challenge ahead.
Together, we created a personalised plan designed specifically for the physical demands of the trek. Every session had a purpose, and every step brought them closer to achieving something they had never done before.
The trek was a success.
But like so many transformations, the greatest outcome wasn't simply reaching the finish line.
It was the lasting lifestyle they created together.
The habits, confidence and knowledge they developed became something far bigger than preparing for one adventure. They became the foundation for a healthier, more active life for the entire family.
They said:
"Robb listened to our goals and designed a program specifically around what we wanted to achieve. He was just as committed to our success as we were.
His guidance around nutrition and training wasn't just about preparing us for the Overland Track. It gave us habits and knowledge that will benefit us for the rest of our lives.
More importantly, the positive influence he has had on both my daughters and me is something I truly appreciate. The healthy habits we developed together have given us the confidence to continue living active, fulfilling lives for years to come."
Jennifer Byrne, 33 yrs, lost 12 kgs
"Learning to Put Yourself Back on the Priority List
Jennifer spent years caring for everyone else.
Working in the health sector while raising two young children, she dedicated herself to educating, supporting and nurturing others. Somewhere along the way, however, she realised her own health had quietly slipped to the bottom of the list.
The consequences were becoming impossible to ignore.
She felt constantly tired, her mood had declined and she no longer felt like she was enjoying life the way she wanted to.
Despite having extensive knowledge of health and nutrition, Jennifer discovered something many professionals experience.
Knowledge isn't the problem. Consistently applying it to yourself can be. Together, we built a personalised coaching plan that removed the guesswork, created accountability and helped Jennifer focus on herself again.
The results were significant. Jennifer lost 12kg, reduced her body fat by 4.6% and lost a total of 54.5cm across her chest, waist, hips and thighs.
More importantly, she rediscovered the energy, confidence and enthusiasm that had been missing for so long.
Jennifer says:
"Even though I worked in health, I found it difficult to consistently apply the principles to my own life.
Working with Robb gave me the structure, accountability and support I needed to finally make myself a priority again.
The personalised approach made healthy living feel achievable, and I discovered that lasting change comes from creating habits that fit your life, not from relying on motivation alone."
Jenni Marshall, 44 yrs, lost 13 kgs
Breaking The Cycle
For much of her life, Jennifer felt trapped in a cycle of emotional eating and fluctuating weight.
She knew what she wanted to change, but like so many people, understanding what to do and consistently doing it were two very different things.
Eventually, she reached a turning pointRather than relying on medication, Jennifer made a different decision.
She chose to invest in herself. From the very beginning she committed fully, embracing both the coaching and the process of learning how to build healthier habits for life.
The physical transformation began quickly, but the greatest breakthrough came in the way Jennifer understood herself.
She learnt to recognise the connection between her emotions and her eating, replaced old behaviours with sustainable habits and discovered that lasting success comes from consistency rather than perfection.
As her health improved, so did every other area of her life.
Her strength increased, everyday activities became easier, she felt more confident in her appearance, returned to work with renewed energy and began taking pride in herself again.
Perhaps the most important change of all was that she no longer saw health as a short-term project. She saw it as a lifelong investment.
Jennifer says:
"The biggest lesson I learnt was that this isn't an eight-week program, it's a lifelong journey.
I understand my behaviours so much better now and have developed habits that help me stay in control rather than feeling controlled by food.
I have more strength, more confidence and I'm far more comfortable in my own skin. Looking after myself has become something I genuinely value rather than something I constantly struggle with."
Ros Davenport, 33 yrs, lost 8.2 kgs
Making Yourself a Priority Again
After the birth of her third child, Ros knew it was time to invest in herself again.
Like many parents, she had spent years putting everyone else's needs first. She wanted to regain her energy, rebuild her fitness and have the confidence to return to the netball court.
The biggest challenge wasn't knowing what to do. It was making herself a priority.
Together, we created a plan that provided structure, accountability and a supportive environment where she could consistently invest in her own health while balancing the demands of family life.
The results were outstanding. In just 12 weeks, Ros lost 8.2kg, reduced her body fat by 5% and lost a total of 44cm across her chest, waist, hips and thighs.
More importantly, she regained something she had been missing.
Energy.
Confidence.
The ability to enjoy an active life again.
She returned to the netball court feeling stronger than ever and proved to herself that becoming a mother didn't mean putting her own health on hold forever.
Ros says:
"After having my third child, I knew I needed to make time for myself again. Having a clear plan and the support of coaching gave me the accountability I needed to stay consistent.
Reaching my goal weight was incredibly rewarding, but even more important was getting my energy back, feeling healthy again and returning to the netball court with confidence.
This journey reminded me that taking care of myself isn't taking anything away from my family—it's helping me be the best version of myself for them."
Pieta Mackin, 23 yrs, lost 9 kgs
Finding Direction Again
Life has a way of pulling our focus away from ourselves.
Following a major career change, Pieta found herself at one of the heaviest points in her life. Her confidence had declined, healthy routines had disappeared and she knew she needed someone to challenge her to get back on track.
From our very first conversation, we both knew the journey ahead wouldn't be easy.
But we also knew it was absolutely possible.
One of Pieta's biggest discoveries was realising that many of the beliefs she held about health and fitness simply weren't true. She quickly learnt that strength training wasn't about becoming bulky—it was about becoming stronger, healthier and more capable.
As her confidence grew, so did her results.
Pieta lost 9kg, reduced her body fat by 3.5% and lost a total of 43.5cm across her arms, chest, waist, hips and thighs.
More importantly, she developed a completely different relationship with food, exercise and herself.
Instead of relying on short-term motivation, she gained the knowledge, confidence and habits needed to maintain her results for life.
Pieta says:
"Working with Robb completely changed the way I think about health, nutrition and exercise.
I became stronger, fitter and far more confident—not just physically, but in every area of my life.
Throughout the journey, Robb challenged me, supported me and helped me see things from a completely different perspective. Sometimes he told me exactly what I needed to hear, even when it wasn't what I wanted to hear.
Looking back, choosing to invest in myself through coaching was one of the best decisions I've made. It gave me the tools and confidence to create lasting change."
Joe Barratt, 11 yrs, Regaining Confidence
Confidence Begins With One Small Win
Sometimes the most important transformations have nothing to do with weight or fitness.
When Joe was 11 years old, his parents were worried about something that many people overlooked.
He struggled to run.
He couldn't keep up with the other children during games at school, always finished well behind in races and was becoming increasingly embarrassed and discouraged. His confidence was beginning to suffer.
Together, we looked beyond simply trying to make Joe run faster.
By analysing his running technique and movement patterns, we identified several areas that could be improved. Through personalised coaching, simple drills and plenty of encouragement, Joe quickly began developing a more efficient running style.
The results came almost immediately.
Within just a couple of sessions, Joe's running technique, speed and confidence had improved dramatically.
But the greatest outcome wasn't physical.
It was seeing a young boy begin believing in himself again.
Joe's parents said:
"Robb immediately understood how much Joe's confidence had been affected. He built a wonderful rapport with him and made every session enjoyable while giving him the skills to improve.
The changes in Joe's running were remarkable, but even more important was the difference we saw in his confidence and self-belief. The positive impact extended beyond Joe and encouraged healthier habits throughout our whole family.
We are incredibly grateful for the care, knowledge and encouragement Robb provided. The experience has made a lasting difference to all of us."ealthier thanks to Robb.
Karleen Elledge, 37 yrs, lost 7 kgs
Learning to Like the Person in the Mirror Again
Sometimes the hardest relationship we have is the one with ourselves.
When Karleen began coaching, she didn't just want to lose weight. She wanted to feel comfortable in her own skin again.
She reached a point where looking in the mirror filled her with disappointment. Even at home, she avoided changing in front of her husband because she no longer felt confident in the person she saw.
Together, we focused on far more than the scales.
By creating healthier habits, changing her relationship with food and building sustainable routines, Karleen gradually began rebuilding her confidence from the inside out.
The physical changes followed naturally.
Over just 10 weeks, Karleen lost 7kg and a total of 23.25cm across her chest, waist, hips, thighs and arms.
But the greatest transformation couldn't be measured with scales or tape measures.
It was learning to see herself differently.
Karleen says:
"Before I started, I couldn't even look at myself in the mirror without feeling disappointed.
Today, I think differently about food, I make better decisions and, most importantly, I know I have the skills to continue building a healthier, happier future.
The physical changes have been wonderful, but the biggest change has been how I feel about myself."
Ian Silk, 38 yrs, lost 9 kgs
The Wake-Up Call That Changed His Life
Sometimes life gives us a moment we can't ignore.
For Ian, that moment came after being diagnosed with sleep apnoea and undergoing surgery that highlighted just how much his health had deteriorated.
It was the wake-up call he needed.
Rather than continuing down the same path, Ian made a decision to take control of his future.
Together, we created a personalised coaching plan focused on sustainable nutrition, progressive training and the accountability needed to create lasting change.
The results were significant.
In just 10 weeks, Ian lost 9kg, reduced his body fat and lost a total of 26.5cm across his chest, waist, hips, thighs and arms.
But perhaps the most important lesson came halfway through the journey.
Like many people pursuing meaningful change, Ian experienced a period where motivation dipped and progress felt harder.
Instead of giving up, he leaned into the support, accountability and structure around him, regained his momentum and finished stronger than ever.
Ian says:
"My health challenges forced me to confront the reality that something had to change.
The biggest difference wasn't simply having a plan—it was knowing I wasn't trying to do it alone.
When I hit a difficult period midway through the journey, the coaching and accountability helped me get back on track instead of giving up.
Looking back, taking that first step was one of the best decisions I've made for my health and my future."
Michelle Tones, 35 yrs, lost 8 kgs
Confidence Opens New Doors
Sometimes the greatest reward isn't the number on the scales.
It's the confidence to step into opportunities you may once have avoided.
When Michelle began coaching, she wanted to feel healthier, fitter and more comfortable in herself again.
Over the following 10 weeks, she achieved exactly that.
Michelle lost 8kg, reduced her body fat by 5.9% and lost a total of 23cm across her chest, waist, hips, thighs and arms.
But the physical transformation was only part of the story.
She rediscovered the confidence she hadn't felt since her twenties.
That renewed belief in herself extended well beyond her health. She secured her dream job, started wearing clothes she hadn't worn for years and, instead of trying to hide her body, felt proud of the person she had become.
Her story is a reminder that when you invest in yourself, the benefits often reach far beyond your original goal.
Michelle says:
"Working with Robb helped me become healthier, fitter and more confident than I'd been in years.
The physical results were amazing, but the biggest change was how I felt about myself. That confidence gave me the belief to pursue new opportunities, and I even secured my dream job along the way.
Looking back, I know I couldn't have achieved these results on my own. This journey has changed far more than my health."
Cheryl Sayer, 32 yrs, lost 6 kgs
Building Momentum Again
Sometimes the hardest part of any transformation isn't getting started.
It's breaking through the plateau that has been holding you back.
When Cheryl came to coaching, she had already made progress on her health journey but had been unable to lose the final few kilograms despite her best efforts. More than anything, she wanted to regain momentum and finally achieve the results she knew were possible.
Together, we focused on creating the right structure, accountability and personalised coaching to help her move forward with confidence.
The results came quickly.
In just 10 weeks, Cheryl lost 6kg, reduced her body fat and lost a combined 16.5cm across her chest, waist, hips, thighs and arms.
Yet the greatest transformation wasn't measured by the scales.
As her confidence grew, so did her energy, focus and belief in herself. What had once felt frustrating became enjoyable, and the healthy habits she developed gave her the confidence to continue long after reaching her original goal.
Cheryl's journey is a reminder that lasting success isn't created through extreme diets or short-term motivation. It's built through consistent action, the right support and believing that progress is always possible.
Wendy Wishart, 44 yrs, lost 6.5 kgs
The Power of Having Someone in Your Corner
Creating lasting change becomes much easier when you know you're not doing it alone.
When Wendy began coaching, she wanted to improve her health, lose weight and find a way of eating that worked with her coeliac disease and could be maintained for life.
Together, we developed a personalised approach that removed the confusion around nutrition and focused on creating simple, sustainable habits.
The results were outstanding.
In just eight weeks, Wendy lost 6.5kg, reduced her body fat by 4.2% and lost a total of 27cm across her chest, waist, hips, thighs and arms.
But perhaps the greatest transformation was the confidence she gained.
Instead of feeling uncertain about what to eat, she developed a healthier relationship with food and the knowledge to make better decisions not only for herself, but for her entire family.
Wendy says:
"The greatest difference was knowing I had someone supporting and encouraging me every step of the way. That accountability helped me stay focused and keep moving forward.
Living with coeliac disease, I learnt a completely different way of looking at food. The personalised approach made healthy eating simple, practical and sustainable.
More than anything, I now have the confidence to continue living this healthier lifestyle for both myself and my family."
Kathy Davis, 36 yrs, lost 5 kgs
Learning the Habits That Last
For many people, lasting transformation begins with one simple realisation.
It's not about finding the perfect exercise program.
It's about learning how to build a healthier lifestyle that can be sustained for years to come.
When Kathy began coaching, she wanted to improve her health, lose weight and create positive changes that would benefit both herself and her family.
Together, we focused on developing practical, sustainable habits rather than relying on short-term diets or quick fixes.
The results were significant.
In just eight weeks, Kathy lost 5kg and a total of 16.5cm across her chest, waist, hips and thighs.
But the greatest transformation was the knowledge and confidence she gained.
She discovered that nutrition wasn't simply about losing weight—it was the foundation for living a healthier, more energetic life and setting a positive example for those around her.
Kathy says:
"I love the healthier, fitter version of myself that I've become.
The biggest lesson I learnt was just how important nutrition is. It completely changed the way I think about looking after myself and my family.
Robb's guidance and support made the whole journey enjoyable, and I now have the knowledge and confidence to continue living this healthier lifestyle for years to come."
Sylvia Bourne, 40 yrs, Life Change
In 8 weeks Sylvia lost 7.5kg in weight, reduced body fat by 5.7% and lost a total of 10.5cm off chest, waist, hips, and thighs. We then went on to work with Sylvia on some important life strategies.
" I have been running a small home-based business working in the Virtual Assistant sector for the past 7 years. Due to a series of events that life threw in my way, I unfortunately lost direction, focus and clarity.
Robb reached out to me during a difficult time in my life and I am eternally grateful and thankful he did. I have been working with Robb for 4 months now and the transformation is incredible. Robb has the ability to:-
peel back the layers to get to the heart of complex issues
take you back to basics to get clarity
use quality examples to explain things clearly
provide templates and scripts to help me through the process
ask questions and if that didn’t work - asks a better quality question to get to the core of issues
never gives up and is always on the lookout for a different approach if the current one isn’t working
keep me accountability for my actions and always follows up on those action items
answers queries promptly
if tasks assigned didn’t sit well - we would revisit them until we got it right
assign incredibly powerful exercises and programs to achieve major breakthroughs and many light bulb moments
He was also able to help me identify:-
the heart of issues that were stopping me from moving forward
reconnect with what was important to me
change negative internal dialogue to positive internal dialogue
remind me of my strengths
weaknesses that were holding me back
challenge my thinking
focus on the right things
Robb is honest, compassionate and extremely supportive and his insight in dealing with difficult and complex issues is truly amazing.
Robb is an outstanding business and life coach with a holistic approach and I highly recommend him to anyone wanting to go to the next level."
Neville Clements, 57 yrs, lost 7 kgs
In 8 weeks Neville lost 7kg in weight (7.6% weight loss), reduced body fat by 3.8% & lost a total of 21.5cm off chest, waist, hips & thighs.
“I have been carrying extra weight since I gave up smoking some 7 years ago. The motivation to lose the weight was always there, just the timing was wrong. Once I made the commitment to the BBC, I had little difficulty in adhering to my diet and exercise. Since changing my ways and eating healthy foods, I have enjoyed the positive impact that it’s having on my day-to-day life. This challenge has helped me be healthier and has enabled me to play sport and do physical work in a way I was not able to before BBC. I am continually getting comments from friends and colleagues telling me that I look good and that gives me the motivation to continue on to reach my final weight loss goal.”
Stephen Duggan, 41 yrs, lost 9.25 kgs
Stephen came to Studioz looking for a program that would help him take control of his health, fitness and body shape — and the results were outstanding. In just 6 weeks on the Studioz Ab Blaster Program, he lost an incredible 9.25kg, dramatically changing the way he looked and felt.
But what stood out most was the shift in his confidence and energy. Stephen didn’t just lose weight — he felt fantastic, looked noticeably different, and had people around him commenting on how much he had transformed. His result is a powerful example of what can happen when someone commits to the process and is supported by a trainer who genuinely cares about the person, not just the program.
Stephen’s Words
“If you care for your health and fitness and want to go to a gym where the trainer actually cares about YOU, then this is the place to go. I give it a 10 out of 10. I lost an incredible 9.25kgs in just 6 weeks on Studioz’ Ab Blaster Program. I look and feel fantastic and everyone that knows me can’t believe the transformation that I’ve made. Thanks Studioz!”
Gary Tones, 35 yrs, lost 17.5 kgs
In 10 weeks, Gary lost 17.5kg, representing a 12.6% reduction in his starting body weight, reduced his body fat by 5.3%, and lost a combined 46.5cm from his chest, waist, hips and thighs.
For Gary, these results brought a growing sense of what he was capable of achieving. He reached his lowest weight in 10 years and described running distances and lifting weights he previously couldn’t have imagined. His clothes fitted differently, and goals that had once felt distant began to feel within reach.
An important part of Gary’s experience was developing a better understanding of his everyday choices. He particularly valued the knowledge he gained about food and how his decisions influenced his progress. In his own words, healthier eating was becoming a habit.
Reflecting on his experience, Gary shared:
“Over the 10 weeks, I managed to lose 17.5kg and am now at the lowest weight I’ve seen in 10 years. My fitness is amazing, as I couldn’t dream of being able to run 10km or lift the weights that I am.
“I fit into the smallest of the clothes in my wardrobe and actually need to shop for some smaller ones. I’ve even thrown away the clothes that no longer fit.
“My goals feel so much closer now, and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. What I eat is as much habit as it is choice, and knowing the consequences of those choices is the strongest friend anyone can have for the fight against obesity and weight loss.
“Thanks for the knowledge, Robb. I’m a stronger person for meeting you.”
Gary’s feedback captures something central to The One Percent Coach approach: helping you understand the actions that support your goals and become more confident in putting them into practice. Clear guidance and personal accountability can give your effort direction, while measurable progress helps you recognise what you’re achieving.
Through tailored exercise, nutrition and mindset support, The One Percent Coach helps you make your health and personal development an intentional part of your life. Your goals, responsibilities and starting point shape the approach.

Vanessa Reece 37 yrs, lost 31 kgs
Vanessa lost 31kg, representing a 31% reduction in her starting body weight, reduced her body fat by 14%, and lost a combined 104cm from her chest, waist, hips, arms and thighs. Her experience also reflects the focus of The One Percent Coach: developing self-belief, setting meaningful goals and taking responsibility for the actions that support them.
“Where do I start in describing a journey of self-discovery? Over the previous 10 months, I’d managed to lose about 20kg by changing my eating habits and participating in group training. However, I felt I’d reached a plateau and decided to join Robb’s coaching program. I desperately wanted to continue making progress, but my mindset was telling me it wasn’t possible.
“I was convinced I’d lost as much fat as my body was willing to part with and that, no matter what I did, this was the weight I was destined to be.
“I figured I had already achieved so much and felt quite happy with my energy and fitness levels, so I wasn’t expecting to notice significant differences over the next eight weeks. How wrong could I be!
“The absolute highlight was my 37th birthday—the date I had set to reach an important personal goal of losing 30kg in total. I did it: 30.3kg! Putting that feeling into words is impossible. It’s a day I will remember for the rest of my life.
“At the end of those eight weeks, I was struggling to explain how much my life had changed. I had lost a further 10.1kg during that period, and my energy levels and fitness had improved again. My self-belief had also improved dramatically. I now knew I could achieve what I set my mind to through hard work and determination.
“I also learnt the importance of goal setting and accountability. I set myself goals to achieve by the end of the year and, for the first time in my life, believed I could achieve them.
“My health and fitness goals included reaching my goal weight, reducing my body fat percentage and improving muscle definition. More importantly, I set myself the goal of learning to love my body as it is—something that would have a dramatic impact on my overall happiness and wellbeing.
“Robb, you are amazing and don’t realise what a positive impact you have on people’s lives! Life is too short to sit back and just accept where you end up. You can stand up, set goals and reach for the stars.
“What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.”
Sarah Ham, 27 yrs old, lost 9.5 kgs
Sarah lost 9.5kg, significantly reduced her body fat levels and lost more than 40cm from her chest, waist, hips and legs. Alongside these physical results, she improved her self-image and experienced substantial improvements in her energy and concentration.
Through a tailored nutrition plan, personal training and ongoing coaching from Robb, Sarah made meaningful changes to her everyday habits. She dramatically reduced her cigarette and soft drink intake, increased the amount of healthy food she was eating and built muscle through her training.
Her progress reflects the connection between daily choices and personal goals. Sarah brought focus and commitment to the process, with guidance and support to help her put those intentions into practice.
Reflecting on her first eight months, Sarah shared:
“Before I started to see Robb I was always unwell, tired and cranky. 8 months later I have lost a ton of weight and I feel great.
“I have more energy and barely get sick and I attribute it to my new healthy eating plan and personal training. Without Robb’s support both through PT and my meal plan, this would have been unachievable, thanks Robb!”
Sarah’s experience captures an important part of The One Percent Coach philosophy: building the health and habits that support how you feel, function and pursue your goals.
With personalised coaching that connects exercise, nutrition and mindset, the focus is on helping you understand your choices, take consistent action and recognise your progress along the way.
Janice Eshuis, 53 yrs, lost 11.4 kgs
Janice lost 11.4kg, significantly reduced her body fat levels and lost more than 59cm from her arms, chest, waist, hips and legs. Her progress reflects the value of finding an approach that takes your individual circumstances into account.
Inspired by her daughter Ruth, who had lost more than 70kg from her highest weight, Janice approached Robb for support with her own goals. She was navigating menopause, ongoing health conditions and limitations in the exercise she could do, making personalised guidance particularly important to her.
Janice’s feedback highlighted how much she valued Robb’s encouragement and practical suggestions. Those conversations helped her keep working towards her goals, with an appreciation for steady progress.
Reflecting on what motivated her to begin and what helped her continue, Janice shared:
“I was inspired particularly by my daughter’s impressive weight loss recently as a result of a personalised eating plan and exercise regime put together by Robb, so decided I needed to follow in her footsteps.
“I’m getting there, slowly but surely—Robb’s encouraging remarks and suggestions help spur me on more than he realises!”
Janice’s commitment deserves recognition. She sought support, took action and continued making progress within her own circumstances. Her experience is a reminder that your goals and the way you work towards them should be personal to you.
At The One Percent Coach, we begin by understanding your starting point, priorities and challenges. Through tailored guidance, practical goals and ongoing support, we help you identify the actions you can take and build consistency over time.
Your progress deserves to be recognised at every stage.
Lisa Braaksma, 41 yrs, lost 19 kgs
Lisa lost 19kg, substantially reduced her body measurements and achieved significant improvements in her strength and fitness. She also gained something valuable in everyday life: more energy to keep up with her seven children.
As a mother of seven, Lisa had plenty of demands on her time. She made a commitment to her own health and worked consistently towards her goals, combining a tailored nutrition plan with training three days a week.
Her progress reflects the value of having a clear direction and putting it into practice through repeatable, sustainable habits. Lisa brought focus and determination to the process, making her health a priority alongside her family responsibilities.
Reflecting on her results, Lisa shared:
“I couldn’t have done this without you Robb. I’ve shrunk everywhere, thank you!!”
Lisa’s experience captures an important part of The One Percent Coach approach: helping you connect your goals with practical actions that fit your life. Through personalised guidance and ongoing support, we help you build consistency and work towards the health, strength and energy that matter to you.
Mark Guley, 59 yrs, lost 23 kgs
Mark wanted to take greater control of his health and the direction of his life. His experience reflects The One Percent Coach approach: a personalised plan, consistent action and support that builds confidence in what’s possible. Here’s what Mark shared:
“I went for an initial consultation because I wanted to change the way my life was heading. Not knowing what to expect, I met Robb and felt at ease from the word go.
“I started a nutrition plan Robb had put together for me, alongside regular exercise. Within the first 20 weeks, I lost 22kg and 53cm in total. Without Robb’s encouragement and guidance, I wouldn’t have achieved these results.
“I know I still have a way to go, but with Robb’s support and our weekly training sessions, I feel confident that I will reach my goal weight.
“The food plan is a big part of the journey. The food is delicious, tailored to my likes and dislikes, and I’m never hungry. I don’t see it as ‘a diet’.”
Avril Solomons, 38 yrs, lost 6 kgs
Avril Chose Herself - and Everything Changed.
"Before I started, I was feeling low on energy, bloated, frustrated with my eating habits. My health wasn’t where I wanted it to be."
Like many high-performing women juggling life’s demands, Avril knew she wasn’t showing up for herself the way she wanted to.
She was skipping meals, eating impulsively, moving less, and losing confidence in her energy and body.
“Even small tasks felt more tiring than they should. I knew I wanted to feel stronger and healthier, but I didn’t have a clear routine or direction.”
Then Avril made a decision: to stop waiting, and to start prioritising her health - for real. With us, she committed to a complete transformation - not just physically, but mentally and emotionally.
Structured, progressive training that fit her life Tailored meal guidance to take control back from sugar cravings Ongoing mindset shifts - from frustration to focus. Real accountability (and real celebrations too)
“I wasn’t just randomly exercising anymore… I had a plan that challenged me, kept me accountable, and actually felt achievable.”Avril has now lost 6.1kg, but that’s just the surface.
“Now, I feel stronger - both physically and mentally. I have more energy throughout the day… My skin is clearer, softer, and glowing. The emotional growth has been just as powerful as the physical.”
This is what happens when you stop chasing perfection - and start honouring your progress.
Avril, we’re so proud of the way you’ve shown up for yourself. The consistency, the mindset growth, and the joy you now radiate are what this journey is all about.t as “a diet”.
Kelly Andrews, 30 yrs, lost 23kgs
Kelly has now lost over 22kgs!
“Before Boot Camp I ate reasonably well. Even though I was trying to lose weight, Studioz’ Nutrition program showed me that I wasn’t eating enough food or enough meals per day. At the beginning, eating six meals per day felt like I was eating soooo much food. But after a while my body adjusted, and I got used to it. Although I had lost weight prior to starting Boot Camp, I couldn’t shift those stubborn remaining kilos I needed to get off to achieve my goal weight.
I joined Boot Camp to try and get the results! In conjunction with what I’ve done on my own, and Boot Camp, over the past 12 months I’ve now lost over 22kgs. Since commencing Boot Camp and the Nutrition program, I feel awesome! I got great results, I have more energy, I’m staying motivated, and, best of all, I’m fitting into my old clothes – so I am very happy Boot Camp has enabled me to meet lots of nice people and I’ve enjoyed working out with the group.
What I would you say to someone thinking about starting a program with Studioz is do it!! You won’t regret it, and you will have fun doing it!!
Sue Neale, 47 yrs, Life Saving
Studioz saved my life!
“I love the outdoors and get involved in a few sporting activities that not too many women enjoy – I love hunting! However, to be successful in this sport, you need to fit and strong. Achieving an increased level of strength and fitness was a major goal for me and losing weight as also a goal. Robb has been able to dramatically improve my fitness with a tailored program to suit me.
My fitness was put to a real-life test a few years ago. During one of my hunting trips, I had to cross a swollen river while carrying a full backpack and a rifle. I was only about halfway across when my feet were swept out from under me. At that stage I wasn’t concerned as I was heading for shallow water where I thought I could get out. Unfortunately, that “plan” didn’t work because the current was far too strong to stop myself.
Instead, I was swept into the deep part of the river and by now my backpack had filled up even more with water.
After being dragged down beneath the water twice, I knew I had to remove my backpack which meant I needed to first remove my rifle. So, while completely submerged for the third time I removed my two-way radio, my rifle (which was crossed over my shoulders & chest) and finally my backpack (which was double-clipped). It took all my strength and energy to stop from sinking completely and to swim up while still carrying all that gear in my hands – thank God for squats and leg presses!
I did take water into my lungs and yes, I honestly thought I was going to die. So, I paddled as hard as I could until I came clear of the water, laid straight onto my back and slowly made my way across the current till I reached the bank – about 80 metres downstream from where I went in. If this little “adventure” had happened a couple of months earlier, I would not be here today to tell the story. I truly have Robb to thank for helping me gain my strength and level of fitness I needed that day.
The nutrition plan that Robb develops are wonderfully easy to follow – and the best part is they’re based on real, everyday foods. No packaged, pre-cooked, microwave meals. I’ve also found ways to packing healthy foods to go camping and hunting with – even snacks that fit into my backpack.
Thank you, Robb, for working with me. You are an excellent coach – motivating me when I felt down and out, pushing me when I thought I’d reached my limits, making me accountable for all my actions, and most importantly rewarding me when I achieved my successes.
Keep up the amazing work that you are doing!”
Alex, 23 yrs, lost 19.5kgs
In 12 weeks, Alex lost 19.5kg in weight (18.8% weight loss), reduced body fat by 9.4% & lost a total of 69.5cm off chest, waist, hips, thighs & arms.
“Training with Robb has been great. I could not have achieved these results without him. He is friendly, motivating, encouraging and has insight and knowledge in how best to achieve the weight loss. I weighed 104kg when I first met Robb and now am currently 85.5kg, we achieved this in a period of time I wasn’t expecting (12 weeks). What a great way to start the New Year!
My advice to anyone considering weight loss is, if you are 100% committed to lose weight once and for all, or you want to achieve your own personal fitness / health goals, sit down and have a chat with Robb today. You will, without question, be able to achieve your fitness goals. The nutrition program Robb provided me was straight forward and easy to maintain with enjoyable foods. I never really felt I was dieting but just eating healthily.
The sessions with Robb in the gym are fantastic. Training with him has been really great and I always feel I’m getting an awesome workout. My before and after photos just seem unreal, and this was in 12 weeks! I’m looking forward to the rest of the year and continuing my training with Robb so we can reach my goal weight of 80kg. My lifestyle has changed noticeably, and I feel like I am a different person. I’m more confident in other aspects of my life, feeling happy and I’m enjoying everyday life!”
Lindsay Driver 57 yrs, lost 10.5kgs
Lindsay had never trained in a gym before beginning his coaching journey. Through dedication to his nutrition and training, he lost over 10.5kg of fat in approximately 12 weeks and reduced his combined body measurements by 61.5cm across his arms, chest, waist, hips and legs.
His fitness assessments also recorded a 55% improvement in strength and a 21% improvement in cardiovascular fitness, giving him measurable evidence of his progress.
Lindsay embraced his tailored nutrition plan and brought focus and effort to his training. As his results developed, so did his motivation to continue working towards his overall goal.
For Lindsay, the benefits also showed up in everyday life: more energy, greater confidence and choosing to walk where he previously would have driven.
Reflecting on his experience, Lindsay shared:
“The training is very encouraging and supportive. My great results have given me incentive to continue. I’m now much fitter and have more energy, walking to the shop instead of driving now! I now have more clothes to choose from in my wardrobe and feel much more confident in myself and with my appearance.”
Lindsay’s experience reflects The One Percent Coach approach: understanding your starting point, giving your effort a clear direction and supporting consistent action through personalised exercise and nutrition guidance.
You don’t need previous gym experience to begin. Your goals and circumstances provide the starting point for building a practical plan and recognising progress along the way.
Dinah Jacob, 44 yrs, Health Overhaul
Changing Your Health Can Change Your Entire Life
When Dinah first began coaching, she knew she needed more than a fitness program.
She was overweight, constantly exhausted, managing high blood pressure and felt like she had lost control of her health and wellbeing. More than anything, she felt mentally overwhelmed and knew something had to change.
The first step was simply making the decision to begin.
From there, everything started to shift.
As healthier habits became part of her daily life, Dinah experienced something she never expected.
Her greatest transformation wasn't physical.
It was mental.
She began thinking more clearly, making better decisions and approaching life with renewed confidence and optimism. Her energy returned, her blood pressure improved and she rediscovered the joy of being active with her son.
The physical changes followed naturally.
Her clothes became loose, she began wearing jeans she hadn't worn for years and, for the first time in a long time, she genuinely looked forward to exercising.
But the biggest surprise was how one positive change led to another.
She found herself creating healthier routines at home, making better decisions, surrounding herself with more positive influences and becoming a happier wife, mother and person.
Dinah says:
"The biggest transformation wasn't my weight—it was what happened in my mind.
I think more clearly, make better decisions and finally feel like I'm in control of my life again. I have more energy, I sleep better and I genuinely enjoy exercising, something I never thought I'd say.
The healthy habits I developed didn't just improve my health. They changed the way I approached every part of my life. Looking back, that first decision to begin has been one of the best decisions I've ever made."
