Thanks, Zubin! We're thrilled you enjoyed the 8-week program and found the personalized nutrition plans helpful.
Fantastic experience: I’m really enjoying my BFT sessions. They’re fun and challenge me. I’m about to turn 60 so initially thought it would be too hard for me. My daughter took me along and, although there are lots of much younger fit people, I was able to do the sessions and feel invigorated after each session. Jacob and all the trainers I’ve met made me feel really welcome and provide good feedback to make sure I’m doing the exercises properly. Would highly recommend
