The transformative power of determination and consistent effort has never been clearer than in the incredible journey of Ola, a client of 12Reps’ founder, Will Duru. Over just seven months, Ola achieved a staggering 25kg weight loss, rediscovered his confidence, and experienced professional success that reshaped his life.
This journey wasn’t just about weight loss, it was about embracing a healthier, happier, and more fulfilled version of himself. Featured in Men’s Fitness, Ola’s story demonstrates the power of setting goals, strategic training, and unwavering commitment.
The 12reps Training Approach
Will craft a tailored programme for Ola, focusing on three fundamental pillars:
1. Strength Training: Building lean muscle boosts metabolism and creates a strong, sustainable physique.
2. Cardio: Incorporating incline walks and runs to optimise calorie burning.
3. Boxing: Adding discipline, mental toughness, and a competitive edge to his sessions.
Training three times a week, every session was carefully designed to challenge Ola, ensuring he not only achieved but surpassed his goals.
Nutrition: The Foundation of Success
Fitness isn’t built in the gym alone; it starts in the kitchen. Ola adopted meal prepping, ensuring every meal was balanced, nutrient-rich, and aligned with his objectives. Strategic supplementation supported his performance, recovery, and overall progress.
Setting Ambitious Milestones
Ola didn’t just aim for weight loss; he set inspiring targets to keep himself motivated:
• Running two half marathons, both completed in under 1 hour 50 minutes
• Participating in several 10k park runs
• Competing in four white-collar boxing matches
These milestones gave Ola a sense of purpose and kept him focused, even on the toughest days.
Fast Forward: A Life Transformed
Today, Ola is a shining example of consistency. He continues to set quarterly goals, ensuring he remains challenged and motivated. From completing more races to excelling in his career, Ola’s journey proves that fitness is about more than aesthetics, it’s about unlocking your full potential.
