…weight. At that time, I weighed 113 kg with a height of 187 cm. I was determined to make a change, and with the help of a personal trainer who could come to my home three times a week, my journey began.That’s when I met the amazing trainer, Mr. Ilijanezic, who, on the first day, told me: “If you have the inner desire and are ready to challenge yourself, then let’s start. But if you lack the passion to lose weight, I advise you not to start.” His words deeply resonated with me, and I decided to fully commit to his guidance.I followed his instructions meticulously, eliminating all unhealthy foods and drinks from my diet. Day by day, I found within myself a stronger motivation to continue. This change has positively impacted every aspect of my life, both professionally and personally.Thanks to Allah, and then to the remarkable, ethical, and passionate Mr. Ilijanezic, I have achieved incredible results. In less than three months, my weight dropped to 87 kg, my body became athletic, and my belly disappeared completely! 💪There were many challenges along the way, particularly due to my work commitments that often involved attending lavish events at luxurious hotels, where the most tempting foods and desserts were on display. However, I kept remembering my commitment to my trainer, Mr. Ilijanezic, and the promise I made to him.The transformation I experienced surprised everyone around me—my family, colleagues, and friends. When I share my story, they are all amazed and inspired to follow the same path of self-discipline and determination.To this day, I continue to train with my meticulous, punctual, and highly motivating coach, and I am so grateful for his support throughout this journey.A special thank you to you, Coach Brian, for managing such an outstanding fitness club, and my heartfelt appreciation goes to my personal trainer, Mr. Ilijanezic, for his incredible dedication.Wishing you and the entire FIT FORCE team continued success and growth.Best regards,Bander Abdulrahman
