{Maybe you are among the people who wish to lose weight and don’t know how to slim down. This is only a problem for people who are not part of “YOU 2.0” initiated by Waka Academy. WAKA Academy is part of WAKA Fitness that focuses on fitness and health education for anyone passionate and ambitious about his or her health and lifestyle}
WAKA Academy’s first initiative was YOU 2.0, which is a 12 week program that required full commitment and dedication to transform your entire lifestyle.
Those who have already participated in this program have their story to tell.
Before joining the Program, Aline and Pearl weighed 92.3 kg and 112Kg respectively.
After finding that their weight was affecting not only their health but also their lifestyle,,Aline and Pearl decided to join You 2.0 Program.
Once they started the YOU 2.0 program they began a gradual health and fitness transformation.
According to both Aline and Pearl, “our health was not good, we felt really heavy and the eating habits were really terrible and working out was such a burden, we didn’t like going to the gym.”.
.
“Our goal was to be healthy and change all unhealthy habits in order to achieve our goal. We wanted to lose weight and maintain the weight loss. We wanted to learn healthy habits, know what to eat and how to exercise properly” Aline and Pearl explain.
Both of them wanted to lose about 20 kilos in 12 weeks, but after they met with their respective trainers they were told that losing that much weigh in such a short time would not be healthy and they had a plan of losing 1-2 kgs per week maximum.
Today, Aline and Pearl weigh 79 kg and 91kgs respectively.
“After YOU 2.0 we felt a big change in our lives, we learned the difference between good foods and bad foods, we also learned about efficient workouts that are short but effective which made working out less tedious and more fun. We are lighter and physically fit, [our] clothes fit better and we had to get rid of some.”
WAKA Fitness selected the six participants in the inaugural YOU 2.0 class through an application process that required applicants to submit a motivation statement and identify what they were hoping to achieve. At the end of the 12 week period, all of the participants experienced astonishing results – lower weight, improved health and an overall change in lifestyle.
In their future plan, Aline’s goal is to be 67 kgs.
She says “I believe I will be closer to my ideal weight and keep up the spirit of healthy eating and exercise.”
To Pearl’s fitness goal is to become stronger and learn new exercises and maintain the healthy lifestyle they have adopted since they started YOU 2.O
“A lot of our eating habits have changed and we look at food differently, and enjoy working out more. As regards to fitness we would like to get stronger and also improve our cardio and we have enjoyed the boot camp class it really keeps your heart rate up. “Pearl said.
YOU 2.0 was led by WAKA Fitness nutritional experts and personal trainers and consisted of a minimum of 5 personal trainings per week and weekly guidance on and assessments of the diet and food intake.
Aline and Pearl commended Thomas’s, one of the WAKA Fitness dieticians/personal trainers, training throughout the whole program. They both believe that the program can help many who are experiencing the same problems.
“Thomas was our trainer for the 12 weeks in the YOU 2.0 program and with his guidance and encouragement we were able to beat the odds and he truly believed in us and we want to thank him and the people who started this wonderful program itself Dennis and Jeannetta. We are so grateful to them for starting such an amazing program and we believe it will continue to change the lives of others who were struggling like us, ” concluded Aline and Pearl.
