Andrew Stark – Athlete of the Year 2010! Part II
Age: 48
“I have now managed to lose a staggering 34lbs!”
I’m sure you would agree a lot can happen in one year!!!
My last testimonial, over a year ago, glorified the great contribution Power Plate and the hard task masters at STUDIO EH1 had given me to achieve fantastic results in fitness, core strength, stamina and much needed healthy weight loss (22lbs). All the hard work culminated in me completing my second Marathon with a much shorter recovery period. It also rewarded me with being presented with the accolade of STUDIO EH1 Athlete of the Year 2010!
Since then the motivation and support throughout the following year from all the team, from the old Albany St and the new Coates studio, has been second to none. All the trainers seemed to want to use me as their new exercise guinea pig, which meant I was always being challenged beyond my limits at every visit.
With every session, that desired conversion from my “keg” to a “six pack” became ever so closer. This was helped along with sometimes bizarre nutritional advice from Luke.
The MOT results backed up my continued fantastic progress.
-
My weight plummeted by a further staggering 34lbs, totalling over 25kg from the start of my Power Plate journey (that’s nearly 4 stone in old money). Lighter than the day I got married!
-
My total body fat reduced by more than half to 14%, and my visceral fat dropped from 16 down to an amazing 7!!
-
And to cap it all off my metabolic age moved from a pensioner of 62, to a fit and healthy 33 year old. Much to my wife’s consternation.
The best part of Power Plate and the whole STUDIO EH1 experience was all of this was done in a great spirited atmosphere. With a little bit of concentrated effort for 25 minutes, 3 times a week and tonnes of sweat by me; and unrelenting drive and encouragement by the trainers, the results can be achieved.
Power Plate and the STUDIO EH1 team beats any training experience for building and sustaining sheer core strength – Power to the Plates!
Thanks to Helen and her boys.

“ I have managed to lose a well needed 22lbs!”
What can I say?!....... As a long retired ex-rugby player, majorly going to seed, determined to get fit fast in preparation to run this year’s Edinburgh Marathon..... I was so glad that my wife discovered STUDIO EH1- Power Plate, convincing me that it’s not just for girls. What was good enough for the Scottish Rugby team must be good enough for me.
Having tried many fitness regimes over the years; some more successful than others - Power Plate and the tortuous circuits dished out by the trainers three times a week, regularly makes my muscles ignite!
The beauty of each session only lasting 25 minutes means I know I can really go for it! The mixture of power, balance and aerobic work outs, have made this a fantastic way in building my core strength and stamina, which gave my marathon training a real boost.
The results since February have been fantastic, which has made it amazingly rewarding – especially when you see Luke down on his hands and knees mopping up my pools of sweat! I have managed to lose a well needed 22lbs and all my MOT results are moving significantly in the right direction.
The dietary advice encouraged me to make some life changing decisions, which has augmented my overall health and wellbeing. The personal approach and good natured banter from all the Trainers makes it a pleasure to be part of the “Platters’” community.
The motivation and support is second to none – and the enthusiasm to help me reach my goals has made every session really worth doing. The best, most efficient and effective training I have ever experienced.
Now I can start really working on the abs to convert my “keg” into a “six pack”.
Good vibrations - I highly recommend this fitness solution - thanks to all the team at STUDIO EH1.
