Dave and Gillian are both in their 50's and are the parents of three. They both joined the adult program when it was launched in October 2013.   They already had a relationship with us because their two oldest sons who are elite athletes (Rugby, Hockey) had trained with us for years.

When they came in they were in average shape.  Dave played hockey in a men's league and also coached.  But neither had ever trained functionally like an athlete.  When Dave first came in he could not even perform a single pushup. Not one!  By December they had both bought in 100%.  They do not train together because of business and family commitments.  Dave comes in at 6AM five days a week.  Gillian trains three to four times a week.  It is a joy for us at the ATC to work with adult athletes like Dave and Gillian.

Their results have been spectacular! The results have been achieved through hard work at the ATC and to being diligent in their nutritional habits. They are plant strong but do not worry about indulging from time-to-time as they did on their recent trip to Las Vegas.

 

 

 

"The 6am time is critical for me: I can get a workout in and still make a reasonable GO train time to get downtown at a reasonable time. I have to go to bed 45 minutes earlier, but that just means less time sitting watching TSN, which is not a big loss".   

"The biggest day to day benefit of being fit is that I generally feel better: my energy level is much more consistent, my moods are generally better and I don't get tired nearly as easily. In terms of other sports, I have gone from just trying to survive an hour of hockey to being able to play at a reasonably high level the whole time without really feeling fatigued.   The change in my body composition has been pretty dramatic: My weight is down 25 lbs versus its peak, my body fat % has dropped from 27% to less than 15%, I have gone from 3 pull ups to 16, and my olympic lift weights have basically doubled. The biggest problem is that I have had to get all of my suits altered so that they fit".
