Simon’s 18kg Success: Overcoming Surgery and Achieving His Goals

“I have a stressful, busy, high-up role in a tech company, but I find the time to train here four times a week. It's been a game-changer for me. I've lost 18kgs.”

Simon found himself feeling out of place and overwhelmed by conflicting fitness advice.

The typical gym experience left him uncertain and unmotivated.

With a demanding job taking up his time, he needed to be able to train sustainably and efficiently.

He found Angel Gyms and everything shifted, including his body weight.

"I chose Angel Gyms because it’s inclusive, and I immediately felt welcomed."

Simon was searching for more than just a gym, he needed a space where he could feel like himself, free from judgment.

 

Angel Gyms offered exactly that.

 

From day one, the inclusive and supportive environment gave Simon the confidence to fully commit to his fitness journey.

"I've lost 18 kilos."

Training with Federico allowed Simon to focus on what mattered.

 

The personalised, one-on-one sessions tailored to his unique goals not only transformed his physique but also changed his mindset.

"Training here has given me so much more confidence, both inside and outside the gym."

Federico’s expert guidance helped Simon find balance—both physically and mentally.

 

His customised programmes allowed Simon to work more efficiently, freeing up time in his day while still achieving incredible results.

"My deadlift has improved from 40kg for eight reps, up to 120kg for the same amount of reps."

With Angel Gyms’ support, Simon saw remarkable improvements in both strength and performance.

He achieved results he didn’t think possible, which only fuelled his motivation to keep pushing forward.

"Two years ago, I had rotator cuff surgery and couldn’t do anything. Now I’m overhead pressing 50kg in total."

The changes Simon experienced went far beyond the physical. He was able to overcome past injuries and regain strength, all while feeling confident and safe under Federico’s guidance.

"Physically, my body is more balanced, and mentally, I've let go of irrational fears about losing progress."

The transformation wasn’t just in his strength; Simon also experienced profound mental benefits.

 

He now feels more comfortable taking rest days, and he’s found a healthier balance in his diet and training approach.
