My struggle was 100% lack of motivation and cravings as this still affected me throughout this challenge. I love bad food and a lot of it. I was eating McDonald’s multiple times a day for months, the convenience of it didn’t help, doing this affects my mood, energy and overall interest in health and anything around me. It became a habit that was hard to snap out of.

I wanted to prove that I could complete a challenge and do well! I have never been able to do this before, paying hundreds of dollars but never sticking to the programme. I found BBB on Instagram scrolling through fitness posts trying to motivate myself into going to the gym with my partner, I was blown away by the before and after photos and immediately fell in love with this physique and lifestyle. I looked further into the client progress photos and again was blown away and convinced that this programme would really work for me. 

I just loved the simplicity of the meals! This really helped me stick to the programme and what an absolute bonus that the meals were tasty!!

My meal plans were always tailored to my taste and gym goals. Plus I loved the taste of all my meals which made me fall in love again with cooking! I used to struggle with binge eating and horrible dieting cycles where I would punish myself if I missed a workout or over ate.

But Berdina taught me that life has challenges/celebrations/events and that the most important thing after falling off track is to reset the next day and get back to my routine.

Surprisingly after the first week. I was just so excited to be taking my first serious step into my fitness journey which I have been promising myself for years. I was so consistent and I felt a huge difference in my mood and energy. Tight jeans already looser!

I learned not to overthink things and to keep things simple such as walking every day, using whole foods in my meals, connecting with loved ones and to simply move my body every day. These small changes helped me lose almost 10kg and I couldn't be happier. I went from a size 10/12 down to a size 8/6

I couldn't

believe that!! It was shocking that my clothes no longer fit me and then I had an excuse to go

The app, oh the app is so cool. So easy to keep track of everything! But I also loved that I felt I could reach out if ever I needed to and when I did the replies were always so quick, lovely and so helpful and motivating.

I would love to say incredible but I really doubted myself. I wasn’t happy with how I did despite the visible results. But you really held the mirror to me and I’m so thankful because I am so proud of myself now. I feel like I owe it to that part of me to keep going with this journey and show what I can really achieve. This programme will change my life.

What really stood out, though, was her support. I've never struggled with motivation or discipline - I love training, I understand macros, and I actually enjoy eating clean. But I do get in my head about weight and appearance, and Berdina was such a positive, steady presence, keeping me grounded and reminding me to trust the process. She's that rare mix of knowledgeable coach and genuinely supportive person - pushing you to be your best while making sure you actually feel good about it. 

Beyond all that, she's a strong, positive female role model. She leads by example, shows up for the people she works with, and encourages you to own your strength in a way that feels empowering, not forced. I'm really glad I chose to work with her. 

The fortnightly video check-ins with Berdina helped me feel accountable but also allowed me to ask questions that I might be too shy to ask over text lol. I also really loved having had some gym sessions with Berdina herself

Training

together was so much fun and Berdina gave me queues and tips how to perform certain movements better so that I can actually benefit from them in the long run and get the booty gains!!

The workout programming was basic. I don't mean that negatively, I mean it in a way that most lower body days had similar movements but even though the workouts were simple they were effective!!

Working with Berdina was definitely worth the investment and if you are ready to change your life and achieve your goals I would highly recommend her as your coach.

She will make sure you understand why you workout or eat a certain way, what to do if you fall off track and how to navigate through life event's such as parties or other functions
