Faiyaz
When Faiyaz joined us, he wanted to take back control of his body after years of putting his career first.
After an injury brought his professional golf career to an end, Faiyaz moved into investment banking at one of the world's largest financial institutions.
Professionally, the transition was a success. Physically, the combination of an extremely demanding career and the years that followed gradually took its toll.
The turning point came when Faiyaz saw the transformation of a close friend who had already been through the programme. The difference was significant enough that it made him question what might be possible for himself.
Over the next six and a half months, we built his training, nutrition and daily habits around the realities of a demanding career in finance. The objective wasn't to wait for work to calm down. It was to create a structure capable of working when it didn't.
The result was a 45 lb transformation in six and a half months.
The physical change was dramatic enough that people who hadn't seen Faiyaz for several months would sometimes walk straight past him at events without recognising him.
He eventually flew from New York to London for a professional photoshoot to mark what he had achieved.
At 41, Faiyaz described himself as feeling like a completely different man, with significantly more energy than he had just seven months earlier.
The photos document the transformation. The bigger achievement is that Faiyaz proved a demanding career didn't have to come at the expense of his physical health.
