Testimonial: From 0 to Several Pull-Ups in 60 Minutes!
Prior to working with Darryl I had no experience in physical fitness with the exception of playing football and training several times a week.
Darryl's initial physical assessment revealed that I had very little arm strength, poor joint stability as well as a weak back and a host of other issues. Immediately we set some goals to improve my fitness levels and began a training and nutrition programme. Darryl's advice included workout nutrition to support my workouts and advice around my eating habits after a review of my 7 day food and drink diary.
After a few weeks I began to notice a significant strength increase and my body began to look much more toned, which was immediately noticed among my friends and family.
This past training session though I hit a real breakthrough.
During my assessment (and indeed at any point of my life so far) I could not do a single pull-up and on this day I again started with several failed attempts. Throughout the training session Darryl continued to push me further and further, using a variety of techniques which he assured me would work in the long run. Well this long run happened to be fairly short in duration. With Darryl's encouragement and a concerted effort by the end of the 1 hour session I was able to complete several full pull-ups, something I thought completely impossible upon my initial fails!
It may not seem like much to some, but for me this was a significant achievement and I was pumped for days! It just goes to show how much can be achieved through mental strength, and perseverence something I had been struggling with.
Giving up early is the easy way out and fortunately Darryl didn't allow it!
Thank you Darryl!!!
