Sharon from Iver... Lucy (wearing the collar, panting) has also lost a few pounds and inches in girth. Sharon has gone from being able to jog for only 30 seconds to finishing the first UK Asthma 10k in 1 hour and 10 minutes. She has also lost over 3 1/2 stones in the process!
Wendy completes her first marathon! Wendy came to us initially to lose weight and get back to a size 12. Having never really run before (20 minutes was a struggle) with the help of her trainer improvements (both fitness & dress size) soon came, so she decided to enter the Trans Sahara Run.As this involves fighting through 50 degree heat for days on end we persuaded her to attempt a marathon instead. After 3 months of excellent training Wendy finished the 2006 Benidorm Marathon within her target time of 5 hours and 20 mins. As the only fun runner she also had to run at the back of the race with police escort outriders, and thus received the magnificent trophy seen on the home page. A colossal well done from the DDW team, here's to New York next year!
Journalist Jane Stevens has put personal training to the test in a six-week fitness campaign to feature in “Berkshire Living”. 4 inches from the waist later see the results, watch the video and read her personal training diary... can exercise and good nutrition really make a difference (in 6 weeks!) to a fifty something office- bound journalist? In the name of research and journalism the Maidenhead Advertiser's commercial publications editor Jane Stevens took up the challenge and took part in a 6 week personal training course with Diets Don’t Work training director Adam Atkinson.Assesment of her food diary and continued monitoring led to sustainable changes in her eating, while a gradual progression in her training led to huge improvements in health, weight, size and confidence. Her results speak for themselves:
Nick was told his high cholesterol was "normal for someone his age" after his annual BUPA Premier Health assessment.
I can't speak highly enough of having Annie as my trainer - there's no way I would have done the run without her. Nor would I have become much better about my food and have slimmed my shape so that suddenly clothes that hadn't been near me for years are now fitting! With all those benefits, I couldn't bear the thought of not having Annie as my trainer! So now we meet once a week and the sessions continue to be fun and always leave me with a sense of achievement. From a 2 second plank I'm now up to a 60 second plank - how cool is that?
Spencer; "I've always been sport orientated, playing a lot of football and golf and also running for the county. However a diet of beer, coca-cola and curries, combined with too many late nights and sitting in front of a computer screen took its toll." I went from an athletic twelve stone to thirteen and three quarters. In the three to four months we have been working together I have lost about a stone and a quarter and am at my optimum weight of twelve and a half stone. Working with Diets Don't Work is great; my trainer Annie is very professional, thorough, determined and motivated to do the best for her clients. She is also very fun loving, outgoing and always has a smile on her face. Whether you want to lose a little weight or really tone up you can get the results, I promise you that, (just take a look at me!). I would recommend Diets Don't Work to anyone thinking of using a personal trainer.
Journalists Claire Moulson and Ben Smith set Diets Don’t Work training director Adam Atkinson the ultimate challenge: knock them into shape in time for their wedding day... in only six weeks. Neither Ben or Claire were in bad shape, which made it even more of a challenge for Adam (the fatter you are the easier the weight comes off), but both of them wanted to look as good as they possibly could with so many camera lenses ready to snap them on their wedding day. There was no time to ease them into the action, and they plunged headlong into a rigorous programme of high intensity cardio as well as a wide-ranging series of exercises designed to tone them up in time for the big day.
I have had many trainers over the years and have found that my Diets Don't Work trainer is the most knowledgeable and informative so far. Our training is fun and interesting, and has helped me maintain my health and fitness-I feel fit and healthy, and have improved my bone density with the resistance training. Greta Morrisson, Holyport I've been training with a DDW trainer for nearly a year now and the results have been great. Steady, sustainable weight loss with realistic personal targets for both weight loss and training . My trainer is very knowledgable and totally supportive. I've tried other trainers and never stuck with them because they have been so inflexible. The DDW trainers have a very different and personalised approached. Elaine Marriner, Maidenhead

Intent on changing this,he enlisted our help. Three months later it had fallen so much (from 6.3 to 5.2) his doctor didn't believe it and had to double check the results.
also a good benchmark by which to measure fitness and strength gains after the 6 weeks” says training director Adam, who provides personal training in the Windsor, Maidenhead and Ascot areas. “They really took my nutritional advice onboard and the results speak for themselves:© Diets Dont Work 2008 |
