Giving up on the gym just before the Covid pandemic pressed paused on everyday life, Lynell Fernandes embraced a more sedentary lifestyle.
Coupled with poor eating habits, including lots of sugary snacks and lack of meal planning, Lynell noticed that his belly was getting bigger and his energy levels had dipped.
Weighing in at 14st 9lb (95kg), Lynell knew that he needed to change his ways, but it wasn’t until he saw the pounds drop off from his wife that he felt motivated to do something about it.
Joining his wife in a local fitness studio in Mill Hill, north London, the pair participated in the F45 Training programme, which sparked his journey towards achieving peak physical fitness.
Participating in the 45-minute workout classes, which included cardio and strength training, he gradually began to feel fitter, stronger, and more energetic.
However, it was the mental transformation that truly stood out. Lynell noticed a significant reduction in stress and anxiety, and an overall improvement in mood.
He also started to feel better about himself, not just because of his appearance but also due to his newfound sense of accomplishment. To complement his new healthy lifestyle, Lynell made some changes to his diet as well.
Previously, he had developed a habit of indulging in something sweet after dinner, but now, Lynell consciously made better food choices.
Before embracing the F45 lifestyle, Lynell’s daily diet was far from balanced. He would often skip breakfast and indulge in cakes and chocolates for dessert during lunch, he previously told Express.co.uk.
His evening meals usually consisted of rice and curry, followed by puddings or doughnuts. However, his new dietary approach ensured that his meals were more nutritious and well-planned.
After attending 25 classes at F45 Mill Hill, Lynell has shed an impressive 8lb (4kg). His commitment to F45 resulted in him feeling healthier, sleeping better, and experiencing a surge of energy.
He valued the structure that the daily 45-minute workouts provided, allowing him to focus on both his mental and physical health and lose 4kg in just one month.
His journey with F45 undoubtedly changed not only his physique but also his entire perspective on life.
