Marc's before and after body transformation — body fat reduced from 21% to 9.65%

Marc, 37, Professional Umpire

Absolutely Stoked With The Results!

I had trained for a number of years prior to starting with Lawrence. I was fit, but at the start of 2015 I decided I wanted to see what I needed to do to become, as I put it, “insanely fit”. I had bulked up to 90kgs and was commencing a plan to reduce my body fat percentage from about 21% to 12%. I was recommended to Lawrence by a friend. By December 2015 I reduced my body fat down to 11.7%. I maintained this for nine months, then decided I wanted to get below 10%. Lawrence adjusted my program, and after just two months I got my body fat down to 9.65%. I'm absolutely stoked with the results and absolutely love training with him — I'd recommend him to anyone looking to get in the best shape of their life and have a lot of fun and laughs (in between sets of course!) along the way.

A Personalised Program To Hit His Goals

Before I started with Lawrence my body was not in great shape. I wasn't fat but I could see my tummy bulging out, and my strength was the worst it had ever been. I quickly gained total confidence with Lawrence. I told him what I wanted to achieve and he laid out the plans on what I need to do and what to focus on — everything was explained clearly. I started to change my lifestyle and swap unhealthy habits for healthier ones. There were ups and downs, but Lawrence assured me it was all normal. Progress seemed slow and incremental, but one day I looked at my before and after photos (after six months) and let's just say I got a huge shock. I would highly recommend Lawrence to anyone who's serious about improving their physique, lifestyle and health — professional, knowledgeable, patient and a genuine person.

Briana's fitness transformation before and after — off all medications and fitter than ever

Briana, 29, Accountant

Healthier And Fitter Than Ever — And Off All Medications

I've never been overweight, however it came to a point where the kilos started to pile on and I was taking multiple medications. I knew something had to change. Doctors would talk about the importance of exercise, so I signed up to the gym and scheduled my first PT session with Lawrence. At first the scene of the gym was pretty intimidating, but his calm approach prevailed. It has not been easy — Lawrence has taught me to push myself, continue, and makes sure I finish every workout! I'm healthier and fitter than ever, I've dropped body fat, I eat more nutritious food, my headaches have significantly dropped and I'm completely off all medications. The journey has been worth its weight in gold. I highly recommend Lawrence, who will take the time to consider your circumstances and help you achieve your goals, whatever they may be.

Jean's weight loss journey before and after — from 97kg to half marathon finisher

Jean, 39, Pastry Chef

From An All-Time Fitness Low To A Half Marathon!

In July 2010, I decided I needed to do something about my fitness, which had dropped to an all-time low. I was sitting on 97kg and I really needed help. I wanted to be able to walk up stairs without feeling out of breath, tie my shoelaces standing up, and feel good about myself again. Then along came Lawrence. From our first session I felt completely at ease. He structured a plan from our initial consultation and explained every exercise and the reason we were doing it. Within months the kilos had dropped off — thanks to the training and the nutritional advice Lawrence taught me. The following year, I completed the Run Melbourne 21km half marathon in under 2 hours. It was such a proud moment to see how far I had come in a year under Lawrence's guidance. I have the utmost respect for him and would recommend him to anyone seeking a PT who will not judge you on your size, fitness level or how much you can bench press!

Jeff's body transformation before and after — leaner and stronger despite 16-hour work days

Jeff, 42, Consultant

Toned Up And Became Leaner And Stronger

I struggled with my weight my whole life. While I was not overweight, I did feel sluggish and unfit. Compounded with a busy work lifestyle (16-hour days), I only hit the gym when motivated, and wasn't conscious of the foods I consumed. When I first met Lawrence he was very approachable, listened to my concerns and tailored a programme that suited my lifestyle. Through our initial conversations I realised Lawrence had a wealth of knowledge not only in training but in nutrition and lifestyle. He helped me control my nutrition and instil good eating habits, and on the training side he helped me tone up and become leaner and stronger. I would definitely recommend Lawrence — a fantastic trainer who is good at motivating and guiding you to achieve your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these success stories real clients?

Yes — every story on this page is a real Lawrence Templar client, in their own words, with their own before and after photos shared with permission.

How long did these transformations take?

Anywhere from a few months to a year depending on the goal. Hudson's photos shocked him at six months; Marc's sub-10% body fat took a focused two-month push after a year of consistent training.

I'm a complete beginner — are these results realistic for me?

Absolutely. Jean started at an all-time fitness low at 97kg and finished a half marathon a year later. Programs are built from your BioPrint™ assessment, so you start exactly where you are.

Do I need to train every day to get results like these?

No — every client here trained 3–4 times per week. Consistency and a proven program beat marathon gym sessions every time.

Will my results be guaranteed too?

If you meet the program criteria — better nutrition choices, 3–4 sessions a week, and taking action — Lawrence guarantees you'll reach your goals. Learn more on the coaching page.

Can I share my own story after training with Lawrence?

Please do! Clients are invited (never pressured) to share their journey once they hit their goals — many say it's the proudest part of the process.
