Joan's Success Story - Body Fat reduced from 30% to 17% Chat on WhatsApp, TSquared Lab

Joan, a seasoned Human Resource Professional, found herself at a crossroads as she reached the age of 50. The pandemic had taken a toll on her health, leaving her feeling sluggish, uncomfortable, and trapped in a sedentary lifestyle. The prolonged lockdowns and long hours of desk work exacerbated her physical discomfort, leading to persistent ear and neck pain. Joan knew it was time to make a significant change.

"One takeaway from the pandemic for me is that I should look after myself, and a healthy lifestyle is more important than anything else. That’s why I signed up for TSquared Lab."

The Beginning: Breaking Free from Sedentary Habits

Before joining TSquared Lab, Joan struggled with maintaining a healthy lifestyle amidst the demands of her job. The pandemic intensified these challenges, as she spent more than 10 hours a day sitting at her desk, staring at a screen, and feeling the physical consequences of inactivity. Despite her efforts to exercise on her own, Joan found it difficult to achieve the results she desired. She realised she needed professional guidance, not just for workouts but also for nutrition and this made her sign up for the TSquared Lab program, she says, "I tried a few exercises, but they didn’t work out. So, I felt I should do something else. I needed to seek professional advice not only to work out but also for food and nutrition."

Tailored Training: A Personalised Approach to Fitness

Joan’s journey at TSquared Lab began with a personalised training program designed by her coach, Afshan. From the very first sessions, Afshan assessed Joan's strengths and areas that needed more attention, she crafted a training plan that was specifically tailored to Joan’s unique needs, ensuring that the exercises were challenging yet safe. Afshan’s expertise allowed Joan to progress steadily, pushing her limits while carefully monitoring her form to prevent injury.

Joan shares, "After a few sessions, Afshan realised where specifically I needed to start with, where’s strength in my body, and where she needed to pay more attention in training. She designed a training program for me, pushed me up, and at the same time looked out for me to make sure I didn't get injured. I am very, very happy about that."

Joan decided to seek professional help during the pandemic period when she felt lethargic after sitting in front of her screen for 10 hours straight and working nonstop.

Coach Afshan designed a unique program for Joan where she could immediately differentiate between her areas of strength and weakness.

With the guidance at TSquared Lab Joan was able to see the difference immediately and lost 10 kg weight and more than 13% body fat during the entire transformation journey.
