Satisfied clients share the benefits of partnering
with Conrad O’Hagan Fitness

“Over several sessions he was able to begin the process of getting everything working together in a way that didn’t place stress on my lower back and ensured that the right muscles were firing”

“I came to Conrad O’Hagan after several frustrating months of trying to find a reliable path to being pain free after years of back issues which culminated in surgery (a microdisectomy).  Conrad’s knowledge of the body surpasses every physio and related practitioner I have ever come across and he was able to quickly understand where I was and where I needed to go in terms of rehabilitation and increasing strength in order to eliminate future pain and injury.

This was done in a way that made sense and was completely objective and unassuming.  In my case my body just wasnt working in sync and I had fallen into some bad habits without knowing it – for instance I was using small back muscles to breathe and to stay upright while larger muscles were dormant.

Over several sessions he was able to begin the process of getting everything working together in a way that didnt place stress on my lower back and ensured that the right muscles were firing.  There were several occasions where I would arrive at the studio in a bit of pain and leave completely pain free – in just an hour we had improved.  The weight training and exercises were designed to improve the underlying problems, not just address the symptoms.

My journey to being completely pain free and strong enough to avoid future back issues is not complete but I can honestly say that going to that first session with Conrad completely changed my outlook and for the first time I realised there is a way that leads to a lifetime free of back pain.  I would recommend Conrad to anyone who is recovering from injury and who wants to solve the underlying causes for good.”

Conrad keeps the training varied, interesting and focused on my specific needs.

“Conrad has been my trainer for the past 18 months or so and I highly recommend him. He has a really positive and professional approach to training and fitness. Conrad keeps the training varied, interesting and focused on my specific needs. The sessions are always quite challenging, but he provides good encouragement to keep me progressing.

I have also been impressed that his advice is not limited to the training sessions – rather, he goes the extra mile to provide me with home training routines, nutrition and eating advice, and other input focused on my overall well being.

I have been very pleased with the results he has helped me attain, and look forward to continuing working with him.”

I’ve seen the results from the work I’ve done, I’m now keen to redefine my body shape and build muscle. I couldn’t have done it on my own and Conrad’s support has been invaluable.

“After many years of bad diet, no exercise and long hours at work, I took a long hard look at myself and realised that I needed to take urgent action. My initial objective was to lose weight and get into better shape, but as the sessions have progressed over these past 6 months and as I’ve seen the results from the work I’ve done, I’m now keen to redefine my body shape and build muscle. I couldn’t have done it on my own and Conrad’s support has been invaluable.

Our initial focus was on core strength, weight loss and body shape. Now the focus is on muscle building, definition and proportion. Going through a program where you see progress is highly motivational. Focusing on diet has also been a big part of the program – cutting out rubbish and unhealthy ready meals and focusing on healthy options. Again, Conrad has been supportive with this providing recipes and healthy food alternatives.

I have learned that once you get into a routine, it becomes second nature. It’s also fun. But you need encouragement and expertise advice if you’re to make progress.

It’s been quite a transformational experience – I wish I had done it years ago. Once you get into a routine it becomes second nature, its also fun. But you need encouragement and expert advice if you’re to make progress. My physique has changed significantly – 8 inches lost around the waist and I am now bench-pressing over 110% of my body weight. My attitude is much more positive. I also have so much more energy. While it’s been hard work, it’s also been a lot of fun.”

Conrad always uses a variety of techniques to make the workout different and interesting so I stay motivated for the whole session. It’s great!

“My primary goal is to get in shape and lose some weight. When I had to stop running a couple of years ago, I put on weight and struggled to find an exercise program that provided the same level of intensity as running. Working out with Conrad not only gives me that intense workout that I miss from running, but he incorporates exercises that work more muscles in my body than just running does.

I have learned several new exercises from Conrad. He always uses a variety of techniques to make the workout different and interesting so I stay motivated for the whole session. It’s great! Sometimes I wish I had time to take notes because I particularly like the abdominal exercises he gives me. Be prepared though, they are not easy! Conrad also is very knowledgeable about other areas of health and nutrition and often we talk about other things that can help me achieve my goals.

I am definitely noticing results and so are my friends! I feel stronger and have even discussed adding more sessions with Conrad. We just set a goal for the next 6 weeks and I am motivated to reach that goal!”

“My main objective was to lose body fat, in particular a few inches around the waist, without losing muscle mass. Conrad put together a program where we trained for 3 times per week, with a further 1-2 days of training by myself. The training slots increased in intensity each week and comprised a mixture of […]

“My main objective was to lose body fat, in particular a few inches around the waist, without losing muscle mass. Conrad put together a program where we trained for 3 times per week, with a further 1-2 days of training by myself. The training slots increased in intensity each week and comprised a mixture of body weight and free weight exercises. I booked 10 sessions to ensure I remained committed, moreover, it also proved better value.

I was particularly pleased about the variety of exercises Conrad chose which developed muscles I had simply ignored in my previous training. Conrad introduced me to many new exercises and combinations of exercises that I revisit and mix up time and time again. My key results after 5 weeks were:

• Around 3 inches off my waist
• Noticeably improved general fitness
• No decrease in strength – In fact, I was able to lift more in shoulder exercises, having trained secondary support muscles.

Conrad listened carefully to my needs, constructed a well-tailored, varied and interesting personal training program that involved some intense one-on-one training sessions, an individual supporting plan as well as comprehensive dietary advice. The sessions and Conrad’s encouragement pushed me to get the results I was after. In all, a very satisfied customer.”

Over a period of 6 months Conrad has transformed my body. I’ve lost 10cms around my waist (AMAZING!) and my weight has gone down a massive 11kg and I could not feel happier with the results”

“Over a period of 6 months Conrad has transformed my body. I’ve lost 10cms around my waist (AMAZING!) and my weight has gone down a massive 11kg and I could not feel happier with the results. Training with Conrad is fun and I look forward to my sessions in the gym which is nothing short of miraculous!  I look better than I have ever done but most importantly I feel better: healthier, happier and more positive about life. Thank you Conrad!”

knocked 50 mins off my time from last year so pretty chuffed”

“Did my half ironman yesterday and knocked 50 mins off my time from last year so pretty chuffed. Put a lot of it down to the core work I did earlier in the year with you guys and carried on on my own so massive thanks for that.”

I originally contacted Conrad to help me with frustrating knee pain that was occurring after playing football, he explained to me the best way to strengthen my knees and then we set about an action plan”

“I originally contacted Conrad to help me with frustrating knee pain that was occurring after playing football, he explained to me the best way to strengthen my knees and then we set about an action plan. After 10 sessions my knee pain has gone away and two months later it has showed no signs of returning. Conrad is a very professional and knowledgeable trainer. He gives you a well structured programme to work with and monitors your progress well. Conrad will also go out of his way to help ensure to get the maximum benefit from the sessions. Training is also well varied and challenging.”

I credit Conrad O’Hagan’s advanced strapping techniques for enabling me to perform despite injury, and more importantly, for speeding the recovery time of the injury”

“In 2010 I damaged the muscles in my left ankle playing rugby. After a few weeks off I played again, using a standard compression tape technique on my ankle for support. This worked for the first game, although I suffered from reduced movement and speed. In the second game I re-injured the ankle despite the compression tape.

This is when I decided to visit Conrad O’Hagan, who convinced me try his new strapping technique using Kinesio Tape. Conrad applied the Kinesio Tape in narrow strips to support each individual muscle in my foot. Needless to say I was skeptical, as I had not seen Kinesio Tape before (it was a few months later that I noticed professional athletes using it) and I could barely feel the tape on me. It allowed me so much movement that it felt like nothing was there.

After receiving the strapping I played rugby, expecting that the Kinesio Tape would not work, and that I would need to retire injured. You can imagine my surprise when not only did I complete the match, but I did so with almost 100% movement and no ill-effects. The tape lasted for another match before I visited Conrad for a re-application. This was the only re-application I needed, as the ankle healed more quickly than expected.

I credit Conrad O’Hagan’s advanced strapping techniques for enabling me to perform despite injury, and more importantly, for speeding the recovery time of the injury. I have since continued to seek out Conrad for the management of any niggles, injuries and ongoing wear and tear, and would recommend him to anyone else in a heartbeat.”

He has expertly guided the staff through an affiliated course in basic lifting technique and this has allowed us to educate the pupils safely and progressively…the pleasant atmosphere that he creates in his sessions… I cannot recommend him highly enough”

“We have utilised Conrad`s expertise in fitness training on a number of occasions here at Haberdashers`. He has expertly guided the staff through an affiliated course in basic lifting technique and this has allowed us to educate the pupils safely and progressively.

Conrad has also produced a conditioning programme for our senior rugby players. As part of the package, he came into school to guide the boys through the lifts and included aspects on nutrition and cardiovascular development. Conrad placed all of the information on a specially designed webpage on his site and encouraged the boys to add details of fitness testing results.

We have used fitness specialists before at the school but no one has come close to Conrad in terms of the bespoke nature of the product, his own personal expertise and the pleasant atmosphere that he creates in his sessions.

I cannot recommend him highly enough”

Conrad’s advise on nutrition, breathing, posture etc has given me a greater understanding of how my body functions, the benefits of muscle strength and the direct impact of nutrition on my body. As a result I lost body fat, gained muscle weight, achieved greater definition and ultimately have a greater body confidence”

“Feeling low, frustrated and out of shape after a long term foot and hip injury as a result of too much running, a friend recommended to see Conrad. I had never properly trained in a gym before and assumed I would not like it. Two years on I can say that not only am I in a good shape mentally and physically but also the injury problems disappeared. I now really enjoy working out in a gym- especially training with weights which I have come to see as my friends and allies.
Conrad’s training programs are carefully put together with my long term goals in mind, are varied and are adopted regularly. He is very motivational and fun to work with. A lot of attention is paid to technical details and how exercises are executed.

What I really appreciate is that the care is not limited to the weekly training sessions. Conrad’s advise on nutrition, breathing, posture etc has given me a greater understanding of how my body functions, the benefits of muscle strength and the direct impact of nutrition on my body. As a result I lost body fat, gained muscle weight, achieved greater definition and ultimately have a greater body confidence.

It has been a long journey and I am looking forward to continuing to train with Conrad.”

He immediately evaluated my nutrition and this combined with a highly effective training programme produced amazing results in a very short time frame”

“Aside from being a Kiwi I thoroughly enjoyed training with Conrad. He immediately evaluated my nutrition and this combined with a highly effective training programme produced amazing results in a very short time frame. Conrad inspired me to take a fresh view with regards to my health and body and has set me on a new and enlightened path – I would highly recommend him to any budding athlete.”

Conrad very quickly identified the root causes of the problem and helped me better balance my body from a strength, mobility and flexibility perspective. My body has transformed and I am injury free.”

“I have been training with Conrad for the last two years through a referral from a close friend. I started training with him to address recurring hamstring and groin injuries. Conrad very quickly identified the root causes of the problem and helped me better balance my body from a strength, mobility and flexibility perspective. My body has transformed and I am injury free, leaner, stronger and am physically much better balanced than I have ever been. My whole approach to training and diet etc. has changed as a result of working with him. His workouts and instructions are very structured, clear and tailored to your issue/problem. I originally started training with Conrad to address long standing problems. Although all of these have been addressed, I continue to train with him because he is an expert in his field and I constantly learn by working with him. His workouts are varied, interesting and, above all, deliver results. Consequently, I did not have any hesitation in referring four of my friends on to Conrad and they have all achieved their training objectives through working with him.”

Conrad has helped me achieve far more than I ever thought possible… Now I am immeasurably healthier, fitter, stronger, happier and even feel younger – dreamy for any woman in her mid forties!”

“Conrad has helped me achieve far more than I ever thought possible.  I originally just went to see him about a problem with my hip that was starting to prevent me walking and cycling. Now I am immeasurably healthier, fitter, stronger, happier and even feel younger – dreamy for any woman in her mid forties!

I trust Conrad’s knowledge and judgment implicitly. He has encouraged and empowered me to do many things on my own, but is also constantly learning, honing, reflecting on what is right for me; gently pushing me to achieve more without me noticing, always knowing when to go the next step. And always in his lovely, calm, fun way. My staff are benefiting, too – through me they see that keeping fit and eating well are important, and all have given very positive feedback from Conrad’s group sessions. 

Conrad is exceptional, and gently contributes to my life in so many ways. I shall be eternally grateful to my friend who recommended him to me.”

After only 10 sessions with him there was a notable difference. My friends and family started to notice I was walking differently, the pains in my knees were getting better.”

“After having both my knees operated on a few years ago I finally took stock of my problems and went to see Conrad O’Hagan.

At that time I couldn’t kneel, walked in a very strange way and came downstairs sideways. After only 10 sessions with him there was a notable difference. My friends and family started to notice I was walking differently, the pains in my knees were getting better and I was beginning to forget to protect my knees, something I was constantly aware of. I had never thought of a personal trainer before, thinking this was the world of the sportsmen and women, and certainly not for a woman of a certain age as myself. So a big thank you to Conrad from all the over 50’s”

There are other bonuses that I didn’t expect – I am now standing and walking with a back that is straighter than I can ever remember, probably since the age of about 2! This is a source of joy to me, as I never envisaged this happening.”

“A year ago, in July, I decided that I was too heavy and very uncomfortable the weight I was and needed to lose it. I put myself on a diet and lo! The pounds started to fall away. Also, I had pain in my knee and limited range of motion in my shoulder. Both had been getting increasingly worse over a period of about 2-3 years and neither were being “cured” by either my physio or chiropractor. I knew the pain was soft tissue related and not arthritic. A friend had discovered Conrad on the internet and was very pleased with the results he was getting from the exercises and diet, so I thought my problems may be helped with exercise.

I thought it was worth a try. I started with Conrad, on a weekly basis, September 2012 and to date the pain in my knee has gone and range of movement in my shoulder has greatly improved. Shoulder is not yet perfect but getting there. Conrad gave me ‘homework’ exercise to do between sessions in the gym and I am quite good about performing these, regularly.

I still see my physio on a regular basis. He is very impressed – says I have “the best buns of any of his patients” (he’s American!)

There are other bonuses that I didn’t expect – I am now standing and walking with a back that is straighter than I can ever remember, probably since the age of about 2! This is a source of joy to me, as I never envisaged this happening.

I am much stronger and my blood pressure has dropped from 140/80 to a very healthy 117/65 (I am sure my doctor will be very pleased). We are now working on a different diet, more cardio and hopefully a very long and much healthier old age. I should add I am a 64 (soon to be 65) female. So it is never to late to change!!”

Conrad cares about his clients. He is a true professional, who is always seeking to further develop his skills. I leave each session feeling better than when I arrived, and I recommend him to everyone I know.”

“Training with Conrad has improved my well-being beyond measure. After two knee surgeries, and countless hours with physios and trainers, I was in pain and not happy with my level of fitness. Conrad began by using Kinesio tape, and designed a program that centered on building strength and improving my gait. Conrad’s sessions are focused and challenging, and he creates personalized “homework” assignments. Conrad looks at the entire picture of your health: nutrition, breathing patterns, strength, flexibility, dietary supplements, even what type of trainers are best for you. Within a few months I was able to run again, and wearing a smaller dress size, too.

Just over a year into our training I became pregnant, and Conrad was brilliant at adjusting my workouts to accommodate my new needs (and growing belly!). I was training with Conrad right up until the day before I went into labour. I resumed training eight weeks after my daughter was born, and, again, Conrad created a highly-personalised workout for my post-natal health, which helped me to quickly return to my pre-pregnancy fitness levels. 

Conrad cares about his clients. He is a true professional, who is always seeking to further develop his skills. I leave each session feeling better than when I arrived, and I recommend him to everyone I know. Conrad uses the latest technology together with tried and tested methods to help me reach my goals, and I am truly grateful.”

I found him to be extremely professional, detailed and inspiring and I can’t recommend him highly enough”

“I went to Conrad with what I felt was a near impossible task, to completely change my body shape, lose body fat, tone and build muscle in 6 weeks. I am amazed and delighted with the results. I found him to be extremely professional, detailed and inspiring and I can’t recommend him highly enough. Not only did he help train me and reach my goal but he has changed my attitude towards diet and taught me the best way to make my body work for itself. The work I have done with him in the past 6 weeks will ensure I continue to go from strength to strength in future as I found each session challenging but also educational. He has a way of explaining things that just makes sense. Worth every penny!”

1 I found that his friendly approach and willingness to educate me on the methods of training he uses made me better understand my body, how to train effectively and it meant I saw great results”

“Conrad helped me get back in to the gym after a bad neck injury and months of physio. I found that his friendly approach and willingness to educate me on the methods of training he uses made me better understand my body, how to train effectively and it meant I saw great results quickly. The program he designed for me was simple and easy for me to follow on my own and I really valued the way he would add to that program after each PT session. This meant that I didn’t become bored with my workout as it constantly progressed as my strength and ability increased. The true testimony of his work was when I went back to the physio and he couldn’t believe the progress I had made and subsequently wanted to recommend another patient to Conrad!

My husband and I both train with Conrad and I would highly recommend him for whatever fitness goals you have.”

1 Conrad has got me into the best shape of my life for my wedding, dropping over 10% body fat whilst putting on a couple of kilo’s of muscle in the months leading up to the big day”

“Conrad is an outstanding personal trainer, and I highly recommend him whatever your goals are. Conrad has got me into the best shape of my life for my wedding, dropping over 10% body fat whilst putting on a couple of kilo’s of muscle in the months leading up to the big day.

I have always been someone who has struggled with his weight, with a love of food (especially heavy pasta meals), wine and late nights out on the drink topped off with takeaways, meaning that even as a regular gym goer I’ve always been a little on the chubby side.

Conrad has completely revolutionised my training, working on correcting the many imbalances resulting from a spinal injury suffered playing rugby as a teenager, and a preference to try and lift as heavy weight as possible.

He’s focused on my weak points, applying his very detailed technical knowledge to even out the imbalances in my body and re-training me on the fundamental exercise patterns to get my form right. It really has been like going back to school, starting over with much lighter weight, but with perfect form and getting much better results.

He’s also revolutionised my diet, helping me to eliminate the many hidden forms of sugar and fat forming carbs that are even prevalent in modern day “healthy” foods. By switching to more natural foods, and discarding the fat-free “healthy” option in favour of natural fats, my body has changed dramatically without ever really feeling I’ve been starving or denying myself. 

He has a very focused, analytical approach and is in regular contact to offer support and advice, take questions and help keep you motivated. You can see from the before and after shots he is the real deal.”

1 Just as important as the technical knowledge he used to build my shoulder back up was his positive attitude. Injuries can be a challenging time psychologically, but the encouragement and support that’s part of Conrad’s collaborative approach was crucial to my rehabilitation”

“I began training with Conrad in July 2012 following a succession of significant injuries, including torn cartilage in the shoulder that needed surgery. Not only was he instrumental in my rehabilitation, enabling me to train close to full throttle once again, his expertise has also improved my conditioning to the best it’s been in 20 years of training.

Just as important as the technical knowledge he used to build my shoulder back up was his positive attitude. Injuries can be a challenging time psychologically, but the encouragement and support that’s part of Conrad’s collaborative approach was crucial to my rehabilitation.

In terms of conditioning, his knowledge is extensive. After a few sessions I had a more structured and technically focused approach to training that has resulted in greater muscle definition and balance. As a 37-year-old my goal is to be able to train for as long as possible while staying injury free and Conrad’s guidance is helping me achieve this.

Finally, Conrad has managed to overhaul my diet, reducing my vast consumption of sugar. I now have a healthier diet that better supports my training and his ability to push the right buttons in terms of motivation means it wasn’t that difficult to make the change.

I continue to train with Conrad and have recommended him strongly to family and friends –  I can’t offer any higher praise than that.”

as well as being functionally strong, I look more balanced aesthetically and from the perspective of my posture.”

“Conrad has proved invaluable and when using him for both strength and conditioning work and dietary advice he works out to be a zero cost service (no more buying takeaways on a regular basis).  What makes him different; physically he helped me educate my body to work properly.  He is responsible for rehabilitation of injuries, which I once thought were incurable (for example; severe shin pain when running, pain in my right foot when standing for a long time, tight hips).  He also taken the time to get to know my physique and balanced it out so as well as being functionally strong, I look more balanced aesthetically and from the perspective of my posture.  Finally, Conrad has also educated me immensely on the importance of diet and poor food choices – I have decreased my takeaways considerably and got back in to cooking.  A combination of all of the above means at the time of writing I have taken approx. 10kgs of my weight, dropped my body fat considerably – evidence: I was asked for ID when on holiday in the US and I am 31!!!”

I cannot recommend Conrad more highly. He is an outstanding personal trainer”

“His depth of knowledge, encouragement and dedicated approach have transformed my fitness, health and general well-being.

Conrad’s challenging but easy to follow work-outs, combined with his sound advice on nutrition, helped me to achieve my target weight and size in just a few months and I have kept the pounds off since. What’s more, as an ex-smoker I am delighted to be building my cardio fitness with Conrad’s help.

My next goal of achieving better muscle tone and strength is within my sights thanks to the program that Conrad has devised especially for me. I should also point out that the Kinesio Taping and AIS techniques that Conrad employs have resulted in eliminating a recurrent pain in my thigh and groin, as well as correcting a life-long habit of turning out my right foot when running.

Before training with Conrad I would never have believed that I could be in better shape in my mid-forties than I was in my twenties!”

So now I am a true believer in Kinesio Taping done by an expert like Conrad”

“Up until finding Conrad I felt like a disabled person. My knee was hurting badly and I couldn’t do a squat or lunge without pain. At first I was a bit reluctant to try out the Kinesio Taping, but knowing Conrad as a very experienced trainer, I thought I should give it a try.

Once the tape was on, my God, what a feeling. The pain just miraculously disappeared. So now I am a true believer in Kinesio Taping done by an expert like Conrad. So thank you so much for doing this for me!”

Conrad has a 360 degrees approach to training which includes attention to diet, and how you live life outside of the gym – not just pumping iron. But most of all he is motivational, which keeps you focused on the goals you set”

“I chose Conrad to get me into condition before the summer, but didn’t realise that more than just a personal trainer I was getting a lifestyle coach. The results speak for themselves; between April and August he turned me from someone who looked all right in a suit but definitely not in swim trunks –  into a lean toned guy who managed to turn heads on the beach – and that hasn’t happened for 20 years! Conrad has a 360 degrees approach to training which includes attention to diet, and how you live life outside of the gym – not just pumping iron. But most of all he is motivational, which keeps you focused on the goals you set yourself. Although I signed up for 3 months I am now back for more as realise I can still improve further. If you want to sign up with Conrad, I suggest you book early and in advance – he is getting very popular!”

“A period of CrossFit training left my shoulder in a bad state – even putting a jacket on or pushing a door open saw me grimacing with pain, let alone doing any sort of mainstream strength exercises for upper body. A few unsuccessful attempts at physiotherapy and prescribed steroid injections later, I was on the verge of booking a surgery when a colleague put me in touch with Conrad. Conrad quickly identified the underlying postural issues and designed an exercise programme which specifically targeted the problem areas without triggering the pain. After 8 months of training under Conrad’s guidance, I can again lift, pull and push and do movements which I had not imagined possible 8 months ago. Progress has been remarkable and this has kept me highly motivated to keep going to the gym and get stronger and stronger. Conrad’s training methods and advice have clearly worked for me and – muscle-ups and handstands – here I come…. ”

I was recommended to see Conrad by a good friend who had trained with him for a number of years. I wasn’t sure about personal training at first as I had always thought I could do this for myself, having played sport for many years and trained lots. I was delighted to realise I was wrong!
I had had lower back and hip pain for at least 5 years. I also had ACL reconstruction surgery and multiple ankle injuries, ligament tears and an ankle break followed by surgery. I had been to physios and chiropractors for about 10 years which helped short term but never seemed to solve my pain issues or ability to play sport as freely as I would like. Conrad assessed my issues and worked with me to resolve my problems which plenty of medical and clinical professionals had struggled with long term. Ultimately it was all about strength and mobility. I have now been pain free and healthy to play sport, even football, for the last year. Conrad is a consummate professional and expert. He pushes his clients hard to overcome the issues they are working through. He is clear, open and driven to help his clients achieve their goals.

I undertook a shoulder programme with Conrad over the last 3-4 months to correct long term issues I have been experiencing with my shoulders. 

My arms have typically hung low causing my shoulders to round and my upper traps and teres major and teres minor to be very tight. This has redulted in some very painful trigger points in my back and neck as well as limited overhead range of motion for my shoulders. 

Since starting the programme with Conrad, I have noticed a decreasing need for self-massage in my upper back with fewer trigger points, more sustained range of movement in my shoulders, stronger and more prominent neck muscles (with better connection into and coordination with the upper traps). We focus on keeping my rib cage expanded in the exercises using a lighter weight but really focusing on challenging the relevant support muscles in the exercise. My posture has improved and my strength in my shoulders and traps as a result of this programme. I would highly recommend it to those who have similar issues with their shoulders and back.

I have realized that along this health and fitness journey, I have impacted my family, friends and co-workers with my lifestyle change that they have asked how I did it, and it’s all about having a vision for where you are going, working hard and working to small goals because without a vision your goals can perish.

Talofa lava my name is Zak and I would like to share about my health and fitness journey.
Before working with Conrad, I have been involved in a lot of short term exercise and fitness programs which came with very strict diet meal plans and I was restricted in what I can eat, I mean I loved my food and I thought that I will give it a go.
I would lose a lot of weight in the process and when I reached my weight loss goal after the program, then I will go back to my old eating habits and start to indulge in eating junk food again because I was looking forward to the end of the 5 or 6 week program I missed my favourite foods.
I ended up putting the weight back on in the process and then I get in to another weight loss program and it will be the same thing a cycle I knew I had to break but didn’t know how.
I knew something had to change when I was experiencing dizziness, lethargy, loosing balance and getting headaches all the time.
I went to see the doctor about my symptoms and they did a full check up and tested my blood, urine and sugar levels and they said that I was fine and made a appointment for a CT head scan and chest scan and when I got the results back, they couldn’t find anything related to the symptoms that I described and then I knew that it was my eating habits had to change and it was time to eat healthy and make healthy choices.

When I started Conrad’s program in January 2022 , he wanted to see my food journal for the week and he noted a lot of unhealthy food choices in my journal.
Instead of putting me on a strict regime diet, Conrad just simply said to make small adjustments in my breakfast times, instead of having pies, replace with porridge and eggs, he did the same for lunch instead of having chicken and chips replace with a chicken or tuna salad wrap and dinner instead of kfc, make some chicken breast grilled with salads, and the more I stuck to these small adjustments I realized it made a huge difference and I no longer had a urge to have pies, chips fizzy drinks or sweets because my body was starting to adjust to the change, my taste bud’s changed and the smell for kfc, pies chips and other sweet stuff has changed and the snacking I was doing in between my meals was my protein shakes and protein bars.

My exercises and training routines also changed and the fat that I used to have has turned into muscle and Conrad has helped me to develop the muscles that I never I had and I no longer have sore knees and aching hamstrings but I have a spring in my step and feel more mobile and flexible, I can do proper push ups, I feel stronger and great about myself.
I have realized that along this health and fitness journey, I have impacted my family, friends and co-workers with my lifestyle change that they have asked how I did it, and it’s all about having a vision for where you are going, working hard and working to small goals because without a vision your goals can perish.

Conrad set goals that were realistic and simple to follow and I caught a hold of it and put it in to practice and maintained it, it was a struggle at first but I was determined to work hard at it and Conrad encouraged me along the way and also gave me good advice, and a good telling off if I strayed a bit and that is good accountability and it helps me to grow in to a better person and a lot of people are really blessed and encouraged by this.

My weight at the beginning of January 2022, was around 127 kg and now I currently weigh 101.7 thanks to The O’Hagan fitness program I am determined to continue this journey with my family.
I highly recommend Conrad O’Hagan fitness program, his program not only focuses on the physicality aspect but the wholeness and wellness of your well-being which includes spiritual health, mental well-being physical health and most importantly your support systems which is your family.
