Gabriel's Success Story at TSquared Lab
Gabriel's Success Story at TSquared Lab
Gabriel, a 47-year-old Director of Sales Strategy at an AdTech company, had always led an active lifestyle. Still, after the disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic, he found himself struggling to maintain his fitness. With professional guidance from TSquared Lab, Gabriel transformed his body and reignited his passion for health and wellness.
"I started in October 2023 and have lost 12 kilograms and almost 13% of body fat, about 51% of my total body fat. The results have far exceeded my expectations."
Gabriel lost 12 kilograms and reduced his body fat by almost 13%, which accounted for about 51% of his total body fat loss.
Before starting the program, he had struggled with lower back pain and ankle issues, likely due to overtraining, but with tailored exercises, he managed to eliminate those problems.
Maintaining proper nutrition while traveling for work was challenging, but by staying mindful and structured, he was able to balance his diet and workouts effectively even on the road.
A former competitive gymnast and swimmer, Gabriel had always been in good shape, but life’s demands eventually caused him to lose focus on his fitness and nutrition.
"I became a bit lazy due to COVID and family commitments. I was struggling to keep up with my old fitness routine, and I needed help. I had issues with lower back pain, and I was running too much during the pandemic, which led to more aches and injuries. So, I knew I needed someone to guide me through proper training and nutrition," says Gabriel.
Gabriel’s coach, Joshua, took a personalised approach to help him rebuild his strength safely. They started with tailored workouts designed to prevent injury and progressively increase his strength and stamina. Gabriel’s nutrition plan was another major adjustment, as he had never followed a macro-based diet before.
"The most challenging part was getting used to measuring everything I ate, but once it became a habit, it got easier. Josh made sure my workouts were balanced with proper form to protect my back, and the nutrition plan fit my lifestyle," Gabriel explains.
“Being able to wake up without back pain is a huge accomplishment for me. I used to wake up stiff and sore, but now I feel stronger, even after long flights or hours of sitting at my desk.”

As someone who travels frequently for work, Gabriel faced the added challenge of maintaining his progress on the road. However, he credits his success to staying proactive and structured with his routine, even while traveling.
"Working out while traveling is tough, especially with all the business dinners and hotel stays. But Josh always sent me a custom workout for whatever gym was available. It's about finding time, even if it means waking up early to fit in a run or workout before meetings," says Gabriel.
“Gabriel is always prepared, even when he’s traveling. He gives 110% to the program, and I appreciate that dedication. He's always one step ahead,” Joshua proudly remarks.
Through his commitment to the program, Gabriel achieved incredible results. In less than a year, he lost 12 kilograms and reduced his body fat by nearly 13%, which translated into losing over half of his total body fat.
"One of the biggest milestones was when my wife noticed the change. That’s when I knew this was working. But beyond the physical results, my resting heart rate improved, my V02 max increased, and I was able to run faster and recover better," Gabriel reflects.

Gabriel encourages anyone thinking of starting their fitness journey to take the plunge.
“I think hesitancy leads to a lot of excuses. Sometimes the next vacation, the next holiday there is always going to be something that’s going to keep you from starting but you just have to jump in and start it, there is no better time than now.” He adds.
Gabriel was concerned when he was signing up for this type of program thinking that he might end up in an overly aggressive, pushy environment but he was relived with the environment at TSquared Lab. “The atmosphere here is supportive, and there’s only positive pressure that keeps you motivated without overwhelming you. It’s a great place to work out—calm, encouraging, and focused on doing things right. I’m grateful for that environment because it allowed me to grow at my own pace, knowing I was always in good hands.” He adds.
Witness how the right training program helps you lead an active lifestyle.
Empower yourself with valuable resources related to training, nutrition, and well-being along with expert advice from world’s leading personal trainers helping you to address your unique fitness and health goals.
Longevity is the pursuit of living a longer, healthier life by making conscious choices that promote overall well-being.
Losing weight can often feel like an uphill battle, even when you are putting in your best efforts. It’s frustrating, disheartening, demotivating, and sometimes downright confusing. You might be eating right, and exercising regularly, yet the scale refuses to budge.
Consistency in training forms the bedrock of any successful fitness journey. It’s the steady rhythm of effort and dedication that leads individuals toward their goals. Amongst the myriad of considerations in crafting an effective training regimen or finding the right personal trainer, one question often looms large: How many days a week should you train?
Mental well-being is a complicated subject. Researching the topic for a while will net you countless opinions, tactics, and ancient Chinese secrets for how to elevate your well-being and lead a rich, fulfilling life.
In a fast-paced world filled with demands and distractions, one cornerstone of well-being often takes a backseat – SLEEP.
Reps In Reserve (RIR) are the number of reps or repetitions you can accomplish before hitting a technical failure or before you miss a lift. And technical failure means that you cannot do another rep without proper form. Therefore, RIR is an effective tool to measure the intensity of your workout.
During an exercise set, time under tension (TUT) means the amount of time a muscle is put under strain in a particular exercise. With UT workouts, each phase of the workout is extended, which results in longer workout sets.
When it comes to workouts, you need to consider various factors to create a workout plan. For example, to become stronger and how your training impacts your body. That is you need to choose the right exercise, and lift the right weight, do the right number of reps, complete the set, obtain the proper rest, etc.
Have you ever found yourself stuck with your training? You’re hitting the gym consistently, putting in the effort, and doing your best, but you can’t seem to make progress toward your goals?
With the steadily growing popularity of courses, group classes, and online coaching, personal training might seem like a lost art, but that is far from the truth.
Like most people interested in building muscle, you’ve probably asked others what the best repetition range is for the goal.
