Success Stories

I have been training with Andrew 3 sessions a week for approximately 6 months.

Prior to commencing my training I met with Andrew and discussed some of my personal goals I wanted to achieve. As I was already exercising on a regular basis and I was seeking a trainer who could assist me further with my weight training and also educate me on nutrition and appropriate food fuels for my exercise. And being in my early 20's I really wanted to learn the 'right' way of doing things, proper training, proper food and seeing as there is so so many different opinions and theories out there I wanted to be taught by someone who obviously knows what works.

I decided that Andrew was what I was looking for in a personal trainer and as it has turned out it was a smart decision. He wasn’t like the majority if trainers out there who run sessions that are not individualised to their client’s needs and abilities. He has years and years of experience and knows all there is to know about hard/intense weight training (which is exactly what I wanted to find in my trainer as I wanted to take my training to the next level and beyond).

As a result of my time training with Andrew I am now the strongest I have ever been. I have put on quality muscle while also dropping my bodyfat levels considerably. I am very happy to say that I’m well on the way to achieving my goals.

I just want to thank you so much for the 8 week program you designed for me to help me achieve my goal for my 40^th Birthday. I cannot believe I could achieve so much in only 8 weeks as I thought it was not enough time.

Before coming to see you I had my body fat tested and it was 16.7%. The last week of the program (8 week later) I had it taken and it was 10.9%. I was 12% body fat when I was 20 years old and training in the gym. My fitness is also just under the Elite level, which I have never achieved.

So I am feeling and looking better now at age 40 than I was as a fit and healthy 20 year old. The nutrition plan was crucial and I love how clear and concise you were on what to eat and when. There was no grey area which is then easy to follow.

You passion and motivation was essential as about half way through I was struggling and fortunately I had you to help me through it and keep me on track. It is a great feeling to set a goal and then achieve it, I actually exceeded it. The feeling is unexplainable but it is a feeling pride and self-belief. I am a determined person, but without your weight program, nutrition diet and motivation, I can honestly say I could not have done it. That I have no doubt about.

I have already , and will continue to refer you anyone that wants to improve their health/training/fitness and achieve their personal goals. I would say that if you are serious about doing it, set yourself up for success by having a professional, highly motivated and passionate, well experience (that has done it and succeeded themselves) trainer by your side to guide you through the maze of information on nutrition and workouts.

If you do not want to really succeed, then do what you always did, so you’ll get what you always got. Set yourself up to succeed, contact Andrew Bishop now, right now, stop making excuses.

It was very clear in the first session that I was going to get the results I needed to change my life!

Andrew gives you the support and push just at the right time. I know what it feels like to be overweight most of my life I was mortified when I would looked in the mirror I didn’t want to be this person anymore. Andrew has given me a complete overhaul physique transformation I have lost weight built sexy lean muscle and have a much higher energy level than before. I am so grateful to him and I have finally found the right Personal Trainer to help me move forward.

If you think you can’t do it you’re wrong! Andrew will show you the way, just like he did for me! Thanks I love the new me!

When I first made contact with Andrew my weight was spiraling out of control and I was in many ways addicted to food. I really struggled eating when I travelled (and being a professional golfer that is a lot) and had really lost all hope that I could get lean one day. I always felt uncomfortable in clothes and there must an element of shame that I had let myself get that way.

Like a lot of people I was working out but never saw any or much progress and so would get discouraged quickly and often throw in the towel, I definately reaped the benefits of that lifestyle- A FAT BODY!!

When we started with the eating plan and workouts I really noticed the difference in the first week and thought that rate of weight loss was just the initial result but I was able to maintain it until today which has been amazing to me.

It wasn't just about the do's and dont's of my eating/workouts it was the changing the way that I view/see food that has made the biggest difference, it's more of a lifestyle change than a temporary measure.

"Andrew thank you so much for all your help over the last 5 months in helping me get into the best shape of my life (and fast!!). Thanks for the wisdom, encouragement and the willingness to say NO to me".

I had been with my personal trainer for 2 1/2 years and my fiance Andy for 18 months when we both began to feel that we had not achieved any decent results for ages. My weight loss had stopped completely and as a result my bodyshape hadn't changed for nearly a year. Andy was also becoming frustrated as he was not getting the results he wanted despite heaps and heaps a hard work. So he decided to surf the web in a hope to find someone who could help us get to, and past, the next level. And that was when he found Andrew's website....

I was quite reluctant to change trainers, because I has sustained a back injury after hyper-extending my lower back during training. I was worried that being pushed too hard would result in more pain and permanent damage. But when I read through Andrew's website, I found a link called "dangerous and ineffective exercises" and when I read through it I thought "this guy really knows what he is talking about". And it is very obvious from all the great testimonials and before & after photos that he has helped many people to make big changes quickly and as we were soon to be married this could be just what we needed.

Our first meeting was great. I found Andrew to be honest, encouraging and inspiring. We explained that our wedding (at Daydream Island, Queensland) was about 8 weeks away and we both wanted maximum results in that 8 weeks. We were both prepared to do anything. And so it started.....

Andrew set up eating plans for both of us; for me it was fat loss, for Andy it was lean muscle building. The change in diet and a more focussed training plan made all the difference. I won't lie, it was hard work, but it paid of big time! When I started with Andrew I weighed 63.5kg (it had not changed in about 18 months with my previous trainer!). The day we left for our wedding I weighed 58kg, and felt amazing. Of the 5.5kg that I lost 3kg were in the first three weeks. I had reached my goal weight of 60kg, a goal that I had had for two and a half years, in only four weeks! My friends and family all noticed too, they could not believe the change in my bodyshape. As for Andy, there is no denying how handsome he was on our wedding day. Everyone commented how shapely he looked in his suit. He also dropped quite a lot of bodyfat and has finally started to see the muscle definition he has always wanted.

So don't waste your time, and or money, or risk injuring yourself doing something is potentially dangerous (like I did), If your results aren't coming as fast as you'd like or aren't even coming at all give Andrew a call, you won't be sorry.

Great things can happen quickly when you have someone with who can motivate you and backs all that up with years of experince and proven results. My husband and I are very appreciative of all Andrew's guidance and support.

Hi my name is Lou and I trained with Andrew for 3 months leading up to the Christmas holidays. Before that I trained hard on my own at a local gym and felt I was not being rewarded for it. After signing up with Andrew he taught me how to eat and train right. After just 1 month I could see dramtic changes in the look and strength of my body along with changes to my everyday easting habits. I was looking and feeling better and at 3 months I had the body that I worked so hard for. The feeling of reward is amazing when the results are achieveable. Thanks Andrew for all your coaching help not only as a trainer but as a friend.

A few years ago I decided to mprove my general fitness, and lose some weight by taking up jogging. I developed a reasonable standard of fitness, however at the same time unfortunately developed a stress fracture in the shin.

I received advice from my doctor that I would risk greater damage should I continue such activities as running and tennis.

As I was keen to maintain my level of fitness, I considered a range of options, and it was at this point that I decided a personal trainer the best choice for me.

During the 10-week period I have been training with Andrew, I have increased my strength and overall fitness to levels that I didn't consider possible a year earlier.

When I started with Andrew, my initial goals were to improve fitness as well as to lose weight. A couple of weeks into the programme, Andrew challenged me to reassess these goals. At this point we began to discuss my current lifestyle, and with Andrew's advice and encouragement, I decided to make further changes - primarily focussing upon diet.

And now, thanks to Andrew for his guidance, advice and role as mentor throughout this journey, I feel a real sense of achievement.

Making contact with Andrew has been the best decision I have made in years. I would have no hesitation in recommending Andrew to anyone who is looking to make a serious lifestyle change.

Having over the years made several attempts at bulking up and gaining weight only to loose motivation and drive when things started to get a little hard I decided to bite the bullet and get a personal trainer. When I started with Andrew I weighed in at 70kgs. We set a goal that first session to make 75 kilos (the heaviest I had ever been was 74kgs) by my mid year trip overseas. Fast forward 5 months and I was tipping the scales at 83 kilos!!! In just the 48 sessions I had put on 13 kilos of muscle. Andrew pushed me to do the things you never want to do ( like leg sessions) so that i achieved the goals I never thought I would achieve. With his constant encouragement, and pushing me to my limits these were possible. His dietary and supplement advice was invaluable, not to mention the help he was in my succesful quest to quit smoking. Thanks Andrew

After 12 months procrastinating and several failed attempts at gym memberships, I stumbled across Andrew's website while sitting at my office computer one lunchtime. I started with lots of work ahead of me but after the first 6 weeks I'm wrapped with what we've achieved. I'm feeling a thousand times better in everyway!! I have so much more GET UP AND GO!! and I can GO!! for longer now in whatever I'm doing. My job can be quite demanding and stressful at times but as a result of my new exercise routine it has all become more achievable. Andrew is a very passionate and motivating person whose no nonsense approach to getting fit and healthy was exactly what I was after, basically I wanted/want fast dramatic results and Andrew obviously can help me to achieve this (as he has helped many others before me). I travel frequently as a part of my role but I still train 3 days a week with Andrew, sometimes it's straight to his studio from the airport. I'm at least looking to double what I have already lost so stay tuned for update photos.
