New Year- New You Programme a Success!


After 28 days on the Elimination diet, and intense cardio sessions involving Kettlebells, Battling ropes and Boxercise, the programme has come to an end.

Congratulations to Sophie Fuller for being the biggest loser with an amazing 11lbs lost! That's the equivalent of a 5kg dumbell! The whole group did amazingly well. Everyone stuck to the diet, with only a couple is mishaps at the half way point.

As a believer of walking the walk, I did the entire programme with the group, following the diet to the letter and training every day with Kettlebells, weights and Battling ropes.

This allowed me to sympathise and understand with the group and how they felt. The first week was the hardest, with caffeine withdrawals from hell! Personally I wasn't expecting any weight loss, in fact I gained a kilo in the four weeks, but I am leaner and sharper than ever. My energy levels are through the roof!

I've enjoyed the programme so much, I intend to keep off wheat, caffeine and dairy forever! Alcohol will be very much in moderation, maybe once a month for special occasions.

I'll be rolling out another programme in May in preparation for the Summer months!
Bring it on!

"NEW YEAR- NEW YOU"

GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAMME

LOSE 15LBS IN 28 DAYS OR YOUR MONEY BACK!

ARE YOU OVERWEIGHT?
DO YOU HAVE LOW ENERGY LEVELS?
DON'T LIKE WHAT YOU SEE IN THE MIRROR?
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY!

PROGRAMME STARTS 19TH January 2009

LIMITED SPACES- ENROL TODAY!


Fed up with the big gym chains taking money from the public without delivering results, Christian Vila, owner and operator of Brighton based Christian Vila Personal Training is putting his money where his mouth is with the “New Year- New You” weight loss programme.
“I always see people being taken for a ride by the big gym chains”, says Christian, “I’m proud to be the first in the area to offer a money back guarantee. That’s how sure I am I can get you the results you want”.
Most people joining gyms will be paying in excess of £60 per month, not including the often-added “Registration fee”. More often than not the member will miss a few weeks, maybe even months and try to cancel their membership. Membership sales teams will try their best to keep you tied to contracts, some for as long as a year.
Christian, who has been in the fitness industry for over ten years, is disillusioned by what gyms and personal trainers offer. He has put together a 28-day programme, which guarantees 15lbs of fat loss using the latest training tools including Kettlebells, Boxercise and fun group exercises.
“When you buy any other product or service you expect pre-determined results for the money you’ve paid”, enthuses Christian, “ I strongly believe the fitness industry should follow suit!”
Clients will be expected to attend a minimum of three sessions per week, and encouraged to follow a healthy eating plan for optimum results.
The New Year- New You programme, which commences on the 19th January, 2009 is enrolling now with limited spaces.
The cost is just £90.

Obama elected 44th President

Today marks a major day in history. Barack Obama, a 47-year-old first-term senator from Illinois, shattered more than 200 years of history Tuesday night by winning election as the first African-American president in the history of the United States.

What difference this will make remains to be seen, but it's undoubtable the coming year will see some major reforms which will not only benefit the U.S.A, but also the world.

I wonder if Obama uses kettlebells as part of his training regime? He's in pretty good shape! Will he spread the word of the beloved Kettlebell?

We doubt it.....so we'll just have to be happy with the end of the economic recession in the U.S, less conflicts with other countries, and improved race relations!

BRIGHTON KETTLEBELLS JOINS ADPF!






Christian Vila has been hand-picked by London- based Kettlebell gurus, Angie Dowds and Rob Partridge to join their team.

www.adpf.co.uk

ADPF is expanding rapidly and their courses are gaining a big reputation in the industry as the 'gold standard'. They have recently been asked by Fitness First, the biggest health chain in the world, to be their chosen kettlebell training provider.

This is an exciting time for Brighton Kettlebells and am very happy to have been picked!

About ADPF
ADPF was created by Angie Dowds and Rob Partridge, to deliver the best of functional training from the leading experts around the world.

At ADPF we design training systems based around, how the body is naturally designed to move, as one functional, efficient unit, and use training equipment like the Kettlebell to maximise training time and get results.

We extensively research the best forms of functional training, find the experts who use them, learn from them and bring them to the UK.

We are passionate about our training and get in the 'trenches' together everyday to stay in shape and become as proficient as possible with these functional training techniques. This is how we first decided to join forces and set up ADPF, we shared the same passion for training and a desire to educate other trainers and our clients.

We were two of the first trainers to be certified to teach Kettlebells in Europe and not only pioneered this form of training here but also have the most experience teaching and training with them. We are now delivering a Nationally accredited Kettlebell Instructor certification program and are dedicated to delivering the highest standard of training to other fitness professionals.
