8-Week Challenge sees Ben lose 17kg but gains a lot more

Ben Finds Confidence After His 8-Week Challenge

Ben Kyle first started his weight loss journey about 6 months ago when he realized that his weight had crept up to a point that made it difficult to do the things he used to – including playing basketball with his son and just doing general day-to-day things.

His initial goal was to get down to 100kg from 122kg, but after joining his local fitness center and getting scans on the Evolt 360 body composition analyzer, Ben’s success was far more than simply weight loss.

Kicking Goals

Ben made the decision to join BFT Bendigo in December 2021, and as soon as an 8-week challenge started, he signed up and made the effort to go every single day – sometimes even twice a day.

Classes within the challenge included cardio and upper/lower body strength to mixed cardio and strength.

“For my nutrition, I followed the meal plan I was given for the 8-week challenge, and I never deviated,” Ben reveals.

“There was no alcohol and no junk. I even stopped having milk in my coffee. I didn’t need any other tools as all calories were counted; the only supplement I used was BCAAs just to help with recovery…when you’re training that often, you need a bit of help.”

Ben had never set eyes on an Evolt 360 scanner before, but the challenge at BFT Bendigo saw him step on one for before and after scans, and the numbers speak for themselves.
