Success Stories

These are the success stories of ordinary people, from all walks of life...

They are some prime examples of ordinary everyday people doing extraordinary things!

I am extremely proud of the fact that I have helped hundreds and hundreds of people since the opening of my Personal Training studio here in Greensborough in mid 2000. And I challenge any other trainers to even come close to matching the number, variety and levels of change made by the people I've been able to help transform.

I am extremely proud of  all of my clients.

Below are some inspirational testimonials and images of just a few...

So take the time to go through them and prepare to be INSPIRED!!

Big Jason melts away 50kgs of bodyfat in just 7 months!!

With Andrew's guidance, encouragement and support I have turned my life around, and finally I now feel like i'm getting the 'old me' back. The first part of my mission is to lose as much fat as possible then I want to build up. I want to look and feel strong like
I did when i was in my 20's, and I want to be a role model for my children.

Andrew has helped me totally change my attitude to food, and along with the exercise this has enabled me to do so well so quickly. I now really look forward to eating HEALTHY, FRESH and TASTY food which makes me FEEL GOOD. Junk is just no longer anywhere to be found, because I honestly prefer what I eat these days. And I am eating more food than I ever did and the weight has fallen off as a result, definitely no starving with any of Andrew's eating plan, I am never hungry and always have a good energy level. Andrew has helped me basically reprogram my mind to the way it should have always thought about eating and exercise. (and he can help you too!!)

Don't waste another minute thinking about doing it, call the big guy today and start living your life the way you should be, in the body you should be, and start doing something about being on this planet as long as possible. Carrying too much weight around for even a short period of time can cause serious health problems down the track, so do something before when u have the choice.

18kgs in only 5 months ... Incredible!!

For a long time, I have personally struggled with my personal and physical fitness. After devoting much of my own time and effort to exercise and various dieting means, and not achieving the intended results, I decided that something needed to change. A friend of mine was training with Andrew and I was impressed with the progress she was making. As a result I asked for Andrews details and made the initial contact.

 I went to see Andrew in June 2011 for my initial consultation. Andrew was great at explaining the discipline, determination and requirements needed to achieve my goals. It was made clearer to me that where I ended up was entirely up to me and my ability to stay focussed and motivated. Andrew put in place a simple, yet very effective plan which could easily be followed provided one was disciplined. My journey had now commenced.

I have been training with Andrew 2 days a week, following his exercise and eating guidelines. I could not believe that week after week I was dropping weight and starting to feel so much better about the way I looked. This in itself together with Andrews continual encouragement, support and undivided attention assured me that if I stuck to the plan, I would ultimately achieve my goals.

Today, I have lost around 18kg's and now weigh under 55kgs. The exercise and eating plan has become part of my normal everyday lifestyle. I feel fitter, stronger and healthier than ever before. I am very grateful to Andrew and for his assistance in helping me achieve a goal that I have for so long desired.

If you are serious about losing weight, changing your body and lifestyle, then I highly recommend Andrew personal training services. The operative word is 'serious' as Andrew takes great pride in helping his clients achieve results.

I DID IT !! .....  and So CAN YOU !!

Hard work is paying off for Sarah

If you are anything like me and you are terrified of taking the first step to looking and feeling better or you are completely unsure of what that next step is, or you just need a push; consider this IT!

Training with Andrew is a rewarding, motivating and exhilarating experience. The quidance and support that he provides in regards to both diet and training at home is a god send. Since starting training with Andrew just over 6 months ago I have lost over 16kgs and changed my bodyshape (and feel) a lot for the better. And as a result I am now loads more confident and now feel I'm strong enough to take on any challenge, both physically and emotionally. So be brave, take the first step and dare to achieve what is possible, I DID!

Update:

For the 4 weeks coming up to my wedding I increased my sessions to 3 times a week and along with a stricter approach to my eating plan I was able to lose an extra 6kgs on top of the weight already lost. On my wedding day I felt, and looked great. Thanks Andrew for helping over the past 2 years and I'm looking forward to training hard again when I get back from my honeymoon 

Update:

I have been training with Andrew B. now for about 4 years (my how time flies). And just for the past 5 weeks we decide to go "full on" and the results have been incredible. It has been hard but I am now the lightest I have been since I was a teenager. I have also recoveredfully from a serious work knee injury thanks to Andrew's help earlier in the year.

My total weight loss now stands at just under 25kgs and I am most definitely the strongest and fittest I have ever been. I am even starting to like the way I look and that's a massive thing for me. Thanks A.B.

Liz after 6 months hard work

Andrew helped me to achieve results I was never able to get close to by myself. His guidance and support really helped me conquer my biggest problem (food) and as you can see the results speak for themselves.

Liz W. age 26, Paramedic

Marty very happy with things

Andrew is a truly unique personal trainer and by far the best I've ever worked with. The results I've had with Andrew far outweigh anything previously for me.

The difference with Andrew is the following:

1. No bullsh*t - we do the proper exercises for maximum results with minimum risk of injury. Plenty of other trainers have some new trendy exercise every 5 minutes that looks like something from a Rock Eisteddfod number. Andrew focuses on tried and tested exercises that simply work.
2. He's reliable. So many of my previous trainers would simply be young people in their 20's looking for easy money, as everyone claims to be a personal trainer nowadays. And with that you'd turn up at training and they would no-show because they had a big night the night before. Andrew has NEVER canceled on me.
3. He makes you accountable. He'll tell you when your doing well, however we won't beat around the bush if you are letting yourself down and grabbing a pizza on the way home. That's because when you let yourself down, you let him down too. And to be frank this is what you are paying him for!
4. He practices what he preaches. Well, just look at the man.
5. The sessions are fun, we have a laugh while lifting heavy things. :)

If you are after a flashy, boutique gym with a trendy address then Andrew is perhaps not for you. However, if you are after a truly knowledgeable PT who knows EXACTLY what you need to do for maximum results, then look no further.

p.s I have lost over 25kgs in the last 5 months.......And that's what I call results!!

Rose has lost an UNBELIEVABLE 30kgs in just 6 months !!

The day I called Andrew was the day I got serious about my fitness.  Now after only 6 months and 2 hard sessions a week I'm nearly 30kg lighter and I have more energy and strength than I ever thought possible. I not only get a great workout, but also get nutritional guidance/support and home exercise tips. Andrew has also designed personal eating plans that have enabled me to reach each goal that we've set. Do yourself a favour,  make the call today, you won't regret it!!

Rose R. age 42, Early Childhood Educator

Best shape of my life in just 6 months!!

I have trained with Andrew for the past 6 months. I thought it was time to get my fitness back after putting my whole focus on nothing but work. It was hard at the start but with Andrew's push, and his help with my food (which was pretty ordinary to be honest), I have gotten into what is probably the best condition of my life. I have a really good exercise routine in place now and I try and do something everyday.

The initial 'BodyScan' I did was very motivating and this really drove me to make big changes to my lifestyle. I am proud to say I have dropped my bodyfat percentage by 6.5% and I have lost a total of 9kgs of fat since commencing training with Andrew 6 months ago.

If you are wanting to make some big changes in the way you look and feel then I can highly recommend Andrew B. He knows exactly what you need to know in order to make this happen and he keeps at you when you might be slacking off, especially in regards to the food.

Don't waste anymore of your time, Life is too short!!

Tori's Amazing change and not finished yet !!

After being overweight for most of my life I decided after having three kids that it 'was time for me'. After losing 30kgs over a period of one and a half years I thought I had made it. I had done a good job losing the weight but six motnhs on from that I had put 12kgs back on and had fallen back into some of my old eating habits. Realising I still had major food issues and I had stopped exercising, I knew I had to try something else before I was back to 105kgs again.

My husband Euan had been seeing Andrew for about 4 months at this stage and had seen great results. So after much thought as to whether I could cope with the workouts and eating I decided I would start to see Andrew as well. As it turns out I love the workouts and have really become 'addicted' to the change in lifestyle. The food we eat now is so much better than it was and you really feel the benefits of eating healthy. I don't think you actually realise how bad the wrong food can make you feel until you do eat well. Along with my love of my daily walks (and sometimes runs) and with Andrews support and encouragement, and his great enthusiasm for people achieving a better outcome in their lives, I can finally see that I can stay fit and healthy for the rest of my life.

Andrew is a great trainer to have because 'he lives the life'. He is also great at encouraging you to keep going when things may be a struggle at times. Most of all he won't let you find excuses for eating badly or not giving it your best. The hardest part is deciding to start on the right track but once you do the benefits will encourage you to keeping moving forward, Like I did

Peter working Hard, Feeling and Looking Great!!

Nearly 20kgs lost in just 24 sessions

Twenty years of neglect had resulted in me being chronically overweight and unfit. I was frustrated at my own attemps to lose weight and becoming increasingly depressed about the way I looked, felt and my inability to do anything about it. I found Andrew's website by chance only weeks befoe the Christmas seaon and I nearly took the easy way out, 'put it off until later'. I'm so glad I didn't.

Andrew encouraged me to start straight away by identifying what really needed to be done. He set a program which not only got me through the Christmas feasts but by mid January I could start to see real results, regular/steady weight loss, increase energy and significant attitude change in relation to food, exercise and general health.

Andrew challenges my body twice a week in a safe and controlled environment and the results speak for themselves. But what is unseen is the way he has challenged my mind and attitudes. Andrew challenges and supports you to achieve goals.

Today, I'm fitter, stronger and healthier than I've been for a very long time. I've still got a ways to go but Andrew's support and encouragement motivates me every day.

Thanks Andrew, for helping me change me life

Update 1: I'm feeling great and only have 8kg more to reach my goal weight. My energy levels are good and I'm really enjoying my new lease of life.

Peter S.

====================================================================

Update 2: For just over six months I've been training with Andrew twice a week. During this time I have lost 25% (over 30kgs) of my bodyweight and replaced a significant amount of fat with muscle. Along the way, Andrew has helped me maintain my focus and steered me through the tough times when maintaining a positive attitude has been difficult. Andrew's fitness program has very successfully helped me to achieve my goal of losing a signicifant amount of weight. Over and above that, it has changed my approach to health, fitness and exercise. It has also redefined my body shape.I'm quite excited about how I look and feel now, and enjoying the benefits of a more healthy and active lifestyle.

Andrew's facilities are excellent, his knowledge & experience is invaluable and his personal approach & style very professional.

If you're prepared to make the commitment, Andrew Bishop can provide the means and motivation.

Cheers, Peter S.

Session 1 - 107kg .............................................. Session 48 - 78kg

Micheal making the most of his genetics!!

I first started training with Andrew (first pic)to lose some weight and get some much needed enrgy back into my life. After 2 months of 3 sessions a week, and following the eating plan Andrew designed for me, I lost 10 kilo's and was feeling great (second pic).

Now it was time to start putting on some muscle and shaping my body into something I was proud of. After 6 weeks (third pic) I've put back on 10 kgs of muscle while still losing bodyfat. Andrew's support, encouragement and knowledge have helped me reach a level I only ever dreamt of. till now that is.
