It was late May, Winter was approaching, and as I made my way down Manly’s Wentworth Street, I was adamant it wouldn’t be a season of discontent despite the bone-rattling wind inducing goosebumps on my love handles. A sandwich board caught my watery eyes:
‘BFT Manly: 8 Week Fitness Challenge’
Hello soldier! Two birds, one stone. I could stave off the winter chill and transform my rotund bag of flesh into something capable of being unveiled shirtless for an August trip to Queensland. I went inside to see what’s what.
Founded by Cameron Falloon, a former strength and conditioning coach for international soccer and elite AFL teams, BFT offers a science backed, functional training program. 13 workout programs organised into 8-week progressive blocks utilising scientifically proven techniques to reduce fat and create lean muscle. Plus, one crucial tidbit, the 8 Week Challenge winner would pocket $10,000! The challenge could only begin once my “before” measures were known. BFT put my frame through an Evolt scan, producing every body composition metric imaginable.
It was time to work out, but prior to burning the first morsel of fat I was fitted with a Heart Rate Monitor. Every exercise in the BFT assortment is not merely concocted to make you sweat, rather their bespoke heart rate technology (BFT³) is a world first in group training technology. While most heart rate monitors purely reward high heart rates (cardio), BFT’s bespoke system is designed to reward all styles of training, particularly strength and resistance training.
Having not “worked out” for a long while, my 50-minute BFT debut saw sweat pouring from me like water falling from Niagara. But I survived, even had fun, and was well on the way to the $10k pay day! On top of the workouts always overseen by professional trainers, BFT provided an App spelling out clearly the ideal diet to complement the training regimen, complete with daily meal plans, recipes, and shopping lists. Jerry’s Pizza and Tawny Grogmouth were turfed, BFT’s tailored menu followed closely.
8 weeks flew by in a wave of workouts that quickly transitioned from torturous to enjoyable and healthy eating was made impossibly simple by the BFT App. Layers of blubber vanished without a trace into the fat deposit ever after. D-Day arrived. Time for final scans and to collect my $10k.
Two years have been lost! The fountain of youth exists and it’s at BFT Manly. Tell your friends. The results were incredible, the 8 Week Fitness Challenge impeccable, and I’m feeling amazing in every way. Alas, someone else won the $10k…good luck to them!
Whether you’re on a mission to lose weight, build muscle, break a fitness plateau or simply develop healthier habits, BFT can help.
