| Professional Reference NutriFit Clinic Client Testimonials Peter and I worked together for 8 weeks, I am active and fitness is part of my daily life but I was lacking motivation as I was doing the same things each week! He assisted me no end with motivation, giving me varying programs for both cardio & using weights. I am still rotating those exercises and I feel alot stronger and focused to achieve the next level of fitness. He also educated me in food groups, he tested my metabolism and tracked what I ate. I am alot more organic and healthy for it. Thank you Peter Lara May 2010 Victoria, Central London Dear Peter I want to thank you for all the hard work and effort you helped me put in to train and prepare me for the 2009 New York City Marathon. The initial self-assessment you sent got me a bit worried. 88 questions and I thought what have I let myself in for. However, a few months later I now understand why and am enjoying what I eat and feel great all the time. The fitness schedule you tailored for me worked a treat during the marathon and I have no doubt prolonged the effect of me "hitting the wall". I managed to complete the 26.2 miles in only 4.39.00 with no ill effects the morning after. Peter you are certainly no plum when it comes to health and fitness!!! Thank you very much. Warm wishes Lewis Malka Hatton Garden Dear Peter In March 2007, I underwent major surgery on my cervical spine to relieve compression of the spinal cord. Inevitably the condition and then the surgery led to a loss of mobility over several months. This exacerbated the tendency to an increase in weight which I had been experiencing over the past few years despite the fact that I was eating very little in terms of calories. In October 2007 I joined Weight Watchers in an effort to reduce weight and went onto their Points Plan. The daily points allowance was determined by several factors e.g. age, gender, height etc. I scored the minimum allowance of 16 points which equated to very little food. To keep to this allowance I cut out fat wherever possible and reduced proteins. The weight did come off albeit slowly but after a couple of months I was feeling drained. I had no energy and constant headaches. Perhaps I hadn't made enough allowances for the fact that my body was still trying to repair after the very aggressive surgery. However salvation was at hand when I was put in touch with Peter Lemon who owns the NutriFit Clinic in Hatch End. Peter was able to show me that through Metabolic Typing it is possible to eat healthily, not reduce calories and reduce in size! After 50+ years of believing that the only way to reduce weight was to eat less calories than those expended, I found it very hard to get my head around the whole concept. However I followed the instructions and although my weight didn't reduce the inches most definitely did. Also after the first week my energy levels were wonderfully restored and the preparations for a extensive cruise were undertaken without problem. I went away with an easy mind as my clothes now fitted and I realised that it would be no problem to follow the eating plan despite being on a cruise ship! In fact I ate really well and my clothes continued to 'ease'. It is also a fact that one's cravings for sweet, sugary foods are lost which is just as well with the surfeit of such goodies all around. I never had one bite of anything sweet because I just didn't want it. I took with me a large box of nuts so that if I was at all hungry between meals I could have these together with a piece of fruit taken from the buffet, thus maintaining the carbohydrate, protein, fat balance. We travelled on the Queen Mary 2 which meant a lot of walking just to get from A to B. However by then I had the energy to cope with this and my mobility was greatly enhanced as a result. Air travel these days is a nightmare and our return flight from New York (with a 2 hour delay) was no exception. However, I am writing this just two days after our return as I haven't suffered the jet lag experienced on previous trips. For me the Metabolic Typing eating plan recommended by Peter Lemon has been a revelation - if not a miracle!! B Wittey Oxhey Dear Peter I just wanted to write to say how delighted I have been with the services of NutriFit Clinic and in particular yourself. The fitness programme you designed for me has assisted me to not only achieve but also maintain my fitness and weight goals. In the months you have been working with me, I have seen a week on week improvement in my ability and technique and I have been impressed with the new programme that I am now working with. I am confident that I will continue to use the programmes you have developed for me and I would like to say a big thank you for helping me to achieve my goals. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with you. Kind regards Charlotte Bovingdon Seven years ago I started training with Peter having watched him training other clients in the gym. He was always very professional, listened to his clients, was very thorough and so our partnership began. I wanted a personal trainer because I enjoyed the gym but felt a structured programme would keep me interested and challenged. I was also suffering with lower back and neck pain which caused problems when driving, gardening doing housework and playing tennis. Peter's approach was to take everything back to basics and to work on core strength. This meant concentrating on the abdomen and lower back. I would see Peter once a week and then practice the exercises twice a week before our next meeting. If one of the exercises was not working for me he would always be able to change it slightly to suit my needs. After six weeks he would review the programme making it more challenging. Initially I was surprised because the training was very different and I came out of the sessions feeling trained rather than drained. I did have to miss training sometimes due to lower back pain but slowly felt my back and neck strengthen to the extent that I was able to take on much more strenuous exercise. Recently I suffered with a slipped disc but kept focused, adjusted the exercises with Peter and quickly returned to feeling strong again. I also had a problem with my Achilles which I had been advised would need an operation. Peter gave me some exercises which I did three times a week. The problem caused me a lot of pain when walking but slowly the exercises worked and I never had the operation. That was three years ago!! Peter tailors his training to the individual. This I know because he trained my husband and sixteen year old daughter for different reasons achieving their goals. When I work out I feel good knowing what exercises to do and how to change my programme depending on my needs. I feel really strong at the moment and training with Peter was a good investment. Seven years probably says it all but the time has flown by and I can honestly say every week has been enjoyable. Donna Pinner Dear Peter What a find you have been? I came to you recently, feeling very low and unwell. A back injury has given me constant pain and distress for a number of years and my weight had started to climb. I work long hours and are responsible for three aged ladies let alone my family and business, so going home to rest it off is not is not something I can accept lightly. A sudden death of a young family member, made me suddenly look long and hard at myself. It became clear I needed help. I needed someone to stop the rot - and you are doing just that. You looked at my diet, ascertained my body type and looked closely at all aspects of my daily life. The conclusion was a guide on what food types to avoid , those I needed to balance and those I needed to increase. Interestingly enough, I did not have to make that many changes other than to remove dairy foods from my diet, as test proved I was intolerant. You covered when to eat and the need to increase my water intake and then you set to work on an exercise regime. Dietary goals were clearly set - and I have stuck to them religiously. The results to date are speaking for themselves. I am two and half stone lighter and are having to change my wardrobe before I lose my trousers! I feel so much better in myself. I am now happily settled in my new diet regime and coping comfortably with it. However, I do not consider this to be a diet. It is a way of life. I am not measuring foods or counting calories. I am simply eating foods that's right for me in a well balanced way. No matter what time I go upstairs and its late, I always spend 40Min's plus on your exercise routine. I might be yawning like the clappers, but it still gets done! This is not a new story. Many of us suffer from back pain. The trouble is not enough of us are prepared to do something positive about it. Peter you are changing my shape both ways from the sides and top to toe. I look forward, with your guidance, to regaining some of my height I appear to have lost as a result of back pain and bad posture. I fully realize that your exercise routine will also now remain part of my daily routine. Health is everything. A keen distance walker and swimmer, I look forward to now being able to take an even more active role in this direction. Peter, you are thorough, intent on helping your clients achieve the very best results and you are supportive. I would not hesitate to promote you to all those I know and meet who could benefit from the NutriFit Clinic. I only wish I had met you sooner! I wish you every success. Kindest regards Dawn Director Bushey Dear Peter I first came to see you about 12 weeks ago. My brief was to train me for Race For Life and to help me lose weight. One of the first steps was for you to take a look at my diet and nutrition. At the time I suffered from energy dips, tiredness and headaches on a regular basis. By following your very simple nutritional advice I no longer suffer these symptons and I have lost weight. In addition to this I am benefiting from clearer skin and no longer look like I haven't slept in weeks! What has amazed me the most is that I really don't feel restricted on what I can eat. I am very rarely hungry and I still get to enjoy every meal as I'm not tied into eating low fat, low calorie processed foods which fail to satisfy. My friends have remarked how surprised they are that I have managed to lose weight whilst still eating like a horse! Turning now to the exercise - our first appointment involved a fitness assessment at which I was pretty horrified at my performance. I was able to only run for one minute and needed a recovery period of more than that! Through your training I have come a long way. I enjoy the exercise you have given me and most importantly I find these easy to fit in to a very busy life. I have a particularly demanding job and had previously lacked the time or motivation to exercise. I no longer have this as an excuse as the exercises can be performed more or less anywhere. I am pleased to confirm that I managed to complete Race For Life in 34 minutes which would have been completely impossible without your help. I had previously hoped I would be able to do it in the average 30-45 minutes so Iwas delighted to run the course in this time. In addition to noticing the health benefits I have already mentioned and a much improved body shape I have also noticed that I am much more alert throughout the day and my concentration levels have also increased. I am more productive at work and also less stressed. I had never imagined I would have such additional benefits. I really cannot thank you enough for your training and guidance, which have ensured that I achieve my goals. I have no hesitation in recommending you and genuinely believe that everyone should invest in their health and wellbeing by coming to see you. Yours sincerely Fiona Solicitor Dear Peter I had long standing digestive and sleeping problems that I thought I was going to have to put up with for the rest of my life. Digestive problem's cause many symptoms that can make you feel thoroughly miserable and couple these with sleep deprivation and you are looking at one grumpy, frumpy permanently tired and despondent middle-aged woman! I made an appointment to see you at the beginning of October and from that first meeting I have changed my diet completely. It has been three months now and my digestive problems are a thing of the past and I never thought that I would sleep as well as I do now. I also have much higher energy levels and cope well with stressful situations. Losing weight was also something I wanted but this was secondary to the medical issues. I am happy to report that I am steadily losing weight and wearing the sort of clothes that I used to wear and the baggy "coverall" clothes are hopefully a thing of the past. The dietary advice you have given me is not so much a diet but a new way of looking at food, more of a routine. On the odd occasion that I have strayed through need or want I have soon realised that the foods I used to crave are not as scrumptious as I thought they were. Thank you Peter! Caroline Oxhey, Watford Dear Peter When I first came to see you I was very nervous and was immediately put at ease by you and made to feel very welcome. I have tried numerous diets in the past none which had been successful and I had very low esteem about the way I looked this has now changed and since attending NutriFit Clinic I have lost over 20lb and have gone down 2 sizes by following the Metabolic Typing diet and becoming more active from the exercise programme. I have tried going to various gyms in the past but always felt very intimidated as I was just shown how to do a few exercises and then left to my own devices so I stopped going. The reason I like NutriFit Clinic is the One to One service they offer and also all the encouragement given at each session and also being able to either email or phone if I have any problems about the exercise or the food. It is the only food and exercise plan that has worked for me and I only wish I had heard about NutriFit before as everything that Peter says really makes sense and really works and over the past 8 weeks I feel like I have become much more confident in myself as I get fitter and healthier. I can't stop telling everyone how fantastic they are. It was the best phone call I have ever made. YC Apr 06 “Thank you Peter for your help and support during my journey to improve my fitness. The personal program you designed for me were easy to incorporate into my weekly routine, the helpful advice you gave me was easy to comprehend and the changes were easy to adapt to. I have since noticed a significant change in my physique and remarkable improvement to my energy levels. During the sessions, I have felt my body adapt to the different challenges and varied intensity of the personalised workouts. I was surprised at how quickly I noticed results and felt that the frequency was ideal. Once again, thank you for helping me not just to achieve a better figure and general health and also for increasing my confidence through exercise.” Salima Kassam Oct 07 | |||||||
