I've been quite a sporty person most of my life, playing football, going to the gym and running. But never noticing any real difference, so I lost motivation. I felt really out of shape before I started The VTS, but now after nearly 12 weeks, I've lost almost 6 inches from my waist and I feel fitter and healthier than I've ever been. I can't thank Mike enough, ready for stage 2.
5 years ago I was told I had bca1 gene..I had a massive decision to make to remove both of my breast. Since then the weight crept on and I was not happy with what I was becoming. I saw the transformations of the VTS and the results and decided to give it ago. Thank you Mike for all your help. I have had some ups and downs but come out of this smiling. I cannot believe how much healthier I feel and will carry on this journey. It proves you get out what you put in. I always dreaded going out for an occasion knowing I have nothing that looks or fits right. But i have more confidence and look at life in a different way now. Thank you again for all that you have done for me. I lost 8 inches off my waist, 4 inches off my glutes plus 20lbs in weight over the two 12 week programs.
Best journey of my life! I now not only look better but sleep better and have so much energy and positivity. I'm able to fit in the clothes I've always wanted to and feel confident when i go out now. It's been one mega journey with Mike and an easy one to follow with support whenever i needed and great weekly advice. I'll be forever grateful. It was very much needed
The support and advice over the 12 weeks has been invaluable. Something which I've never had before, but needed... and have really enjoyed. I'm feeling much fitter, lifting far heavier weights. I'm fitting into old clothes size L & XL which I was on the verge of throwing out. Thank you for all your help
Mike just wanted to say thank you so much for everything. Been the best life journey ever and you have changed my life around. After 12 weeks I lost 48lbs
When I first went to Mike many years ago Mike trained me face to face. As the years progressed Mike developed his unique VTS online training system. I really didn't want to try VTS and much preferred face to face training. I couldn't have been more wrong. Mike asked me to give it a go as he no longer worked with people face to face anymore and it's great! Simple to use, loads of helpful features, graphs, photo library and charts and recipes. Together with his weekly personalised advice not only on nutrition and exercise but also other important things like sleep and stress this all makes the whole process flow easily.
Mikes not only helped me physically, he's helped me be more mentally focused. When your straight upstairs.. everything else just falls in to place. It's been another awesome week. Worked hard and love my results. I've lost 6 inches off my waist in total. And i feel great again in my clothes. I Can't thank you enough Mike I feel on top of the world. You've helped me physically and mentally and I'm forever grateful.
Just want to take this moment to say how great full I am for all your time and effort you've put into helping me achieve my goals. Looking back on this transformation and all the set backs I have had with illness and injuries I could have easily given up, but with your guidance and encouraging words iv stuck at it and we've achieved some incredible results. With all the slipped discs over the years I never thought I'd get to this again. I had to buy some 32 inch shorts at the weekend wow
Everyone is telling me how good I look which is nice, and someone called me the sexy Gardener on Friday, (which I thought I was anyway lol) I feel great, have bundles of energy and actually feel fit for the first time in probably 10 years. Plus I lost exactly 42 lbs in weight and 9 inches off my waist during the 30 weeks online program. Next step the 3 peaks fingers crossed. Thanks for everything Mike
I can't believe the change from even just 12 weeks ago. I am so happy with my results and Mike & Nat have both helped me completely change my mindset on losing weight and changing your body for the better. I am by far the healthiest I have ever been. The shape of my body has completely changed. I have also now bought my first bikini in 3 years for my honeymoon. Thank you so much.
With Mike's help, focus and determination I achieved my goals. Thanks
What can I say Mike, after years of training in gyms and not really seeing the gains I strided for, I decided to go see Mike for help.This fella is very experienced and his knowledge shines through in his one on ones, giving me the tools, advice and inspiration to achieve what I was after, couldn't have done it without Mike :-)
I've been training on and off for well over 10 years, I bulk up and get fat, then try stripping myself down and lose all my muscle. There's a fine line in getting it right to achieve your goals and this is where Mikes experience and knowledge pays off. I didn't think my diet was bad but it was way off.
This isn't about spending endless hours in the gym and hardly eating anything it couldn't be further from the truth, I'm eating more food now than I've ever done, over double the amount of carbs I was eating and now i'm training less. I also feel more energised and healthier than I've ever done. If you put 100% in you'll get 100% out, and I've completed the full 12 weeks without even having a bad meal, mainly due to the fact that there's over 400 healthy and tasty recipes to choose from. If you're struggling with your diet and training you need to do this, wished I'd known about Mike when I first started out training, I can't recommend him enough, thanks Mike
A 6 week transformation. "Over the past 6 weeks I have lost 12 lbs AND 5 inches off my waist. Not only has The VTS helped me achieve those stats, it has also massively helped me mentally. When I started, I had no energy, completely ate the wrong foods and hated the way I looked. Now, my clothes are fitting better, I have so much more energy and sleeping a lot better! Throughout the 6 weeks Mike and Nat have given the right tools, motivation and guidance to eventually achieve my longer term goals which in the past have always seemed impossible or out of reach. After Seeing the changes and results In just only 6 weeks has now motivated, inspired and given me the confidence I have always wanted to continue my long term journey. So with that I have already signed up for Mike's next enrolment in April! This is just the beginning of my journey, I'm feeling great and so excited with what we can achieve in the next enrolment. Bring it on! Thank you Mike and Nat
I had seen your page on FB and kept looking at all your transformations over the past few years. I thought I wouldn't be able to do it, and made so many excuses as to why. But this year I took the plunge! and I can't even begin to write down all the ways in which Mike's advice helped me over the past 12 weeks. Fat loss, muscle gain, changing body shape and increased fitness ability are just some of them. Plus 26lbs in weight and over 6 inches off my waist. To be fair I expected all of those. What I didn't expect were the changes to my moods.
I'm so much happier in general, and have way more motivation and energy. Before these 12 weeks life was a cycle of work, eat and sleep. I didn't even think I had enough time to exercise. But now I do 5 manageable sessions at the gym and spend more days out with the kids, plus weekends away and I'm enjoying life so much more. This has all led to a happier family life and I'm so grateful to you Mike for that. I will use what I have learned through The VTS to maintain my weight loss and my happier state of mind. Thanks Mike for your help and encouragement. Even on weeks where I've thought I haven't done well, you had kind words and always pointed out the positives. For anyone that thinks they can't do it just look at my before picture. If I can do it anyone can!" Richard.
When I started my enrolment 12 weeks ago I expected to be in the gym twice a day and to be eating food which made me miserable, however I couldn't have been further from the truth. I have enjoyed the training and nutritional elements of the programme and feel so much better for it. My weight has dropped below 12 stone (which I haven't been since my early 20's) and i have lost almost 8 inches from my waist! I feel so much fitter and stronger. Thanks Mike for your guidance over the last three months, its been first class!
I feel very grateful to Mike for all his work with me over the last 2 years, his advice and support has seen me lose weight, change shape and gain confidence but most importantly find a love for fitness and looking after my body. Anyone thinking about signing up I would highly recommend Mike. I hesitated for so long thinking I could do it myself.. but the accountability of checking in each week and hearing Mike's feedback and advice is really what keeps me motivated and get the results. He knows what he's talking about. Thanks so much Mike for giving me back my body confidence. I feel strong and fit and the healthiest I've ever been. I've lost 34lbs in weight, 12 inches off my waist and 7 inches off my glutes plus 5 inches off each thigh. If anyone's thinking about signing up I'd highly recommend Mike, brilliant work and all the transformations speak for themselves!
I first met Mike a few years ago when he was a trainer at a gym I attended. When I knew he had set up on his own with The VTS I jumped at the chance to enrol. I knew if anyone would help me with my personal "look good, feel better campaign" then he was the man!! The 12 weeks have flown by. Shift work, lack of sleep and illness have set me back but not stopped me and I am really pleased with the results. I will continue with his fail safe methods for the foreseeable as I feel so much fitter and healthier. The weight loss of 10 lbs for me has also been a bonus but my main aim was to tone up, and generally for my all round well being which I know I have achieved. Thanks Mike for your support and encouragement along the way.
I can't believe the changes Mike has help me achieve! since starting on this enrolment my lifestyle has changed for the better and I can't thank Mike and Nat enough for the support they have given me through my first 12 weeks. I have lost 47lbs, 8 inch of my waist 6 inch off my chest and inches are falling off my glutes and thighs too! I haven't been as happy in the way I look for such a long time I forgot what it felt like but Mike has changed all that for me. The one thing that surprised me the most was the amount of foods that I could still eat! I am eating a lot of my favourite foods and still dropping pounds, it's fantastic!! My energy levels are so much higher and I'm no longer feeling tired by the time it gets to early afternoon. Ive still got a long way to go but I can't wait to get started on my next 12 weeks as I can't wait to see the results Mike can help me achieve by the end. Thanks again Mike and Nat!!
I have to say I have enjoyed the 12 week plan and lost 12 cm from my waist.
Having spent years training I had always struggled to attain the physique I wanted, some times trying to diet and get lean other times trying to get big and muscular. Always ending in failure and frustration. Mikes VTS had been popping up on face book for a while and the transformation pics of guys with bulging abs in 12 weeks, which I took with a pinch of salt and scrolled past. Until one day i clicked on it and had a good look, WOW the pictures of transformations were all amazing! i thought its got to be worth a try, a phone call later and I was booked on the next enrolment. The program its self was great, enjoyable from start to finish, challenging in parts but nothing good came easy! I was amazed at the amount of food I was eating at the start too. Mike is always at hand to steer you in the right direction and put you at ease making the whole process much easier. My pictures speak for themselves but after just 12 weeks I have lost 25 lbs in weight almost 5 inches from my waist, gained size at my chest and arms and have finally got the physique i've always dreamt of. I Can't recommend Mike and his Virtual Training System highly enough!!!!!
Hi Mike, I want to say a huge thank you for your brilliant support and for teaching me such a lot about nutrition and exercise. I have learnt a great deal. I recommend you to all of my friends, and wish you and Nat huge success in the future. Hopefully you might accept me as a client again at some point! Best wishes Michael
Its been an absolute pleasure Mick, working with you online using The VTS has been easier than i could have ever imagined, i am extremely happy with the results so far and will continue to carry on the good work. I am not going back to being a tubby lad again. Thank you !! After 2 enrolments 5 Stone in weight and over 13 inches off my waist...Gone !! WOW
Hi hope you are well. Just to say thank you for helping me loose over 7 inches from my waist. It has been challenging, but anything worth doing takes hard work and commitment. Thanks again xx
Hi Mike this 12 weeks has flown by. I lost 6 inches off my waist plus 26 lbs in weight.Thank you for all your guidance, really happy with what I have achieved.
After just 2 VTS enrolments I have lost 34 lbs plus 13 inches off my waist, without you none of these results would have been possible. The change in my body is amazing and the positive comments from family and friends are non stop. My lifestyle has completely changed for the better. Thank you so much.
After a number of years of going to the gym but never really achieving the kind of results I wanted, I decided to look for something or someone who could make the difference and make the most of my efforts. Mike has certainly done this for me. I joined The VTS because I wanted to lose fat and tone up and as a result not only look better but feel better too. Because I'm always so busy with our young family and a full time job, I originally doubted whether I would be able to achieve this but I needn't have worried. Mike built a training schedule that has fitted in with my lifestyle perfectly, by utilising my lunch hour during the week he has tailor made a routine that has still enabled me to get the results I was after.
Before I started I was feeling tired and had low energy levels but this has changed just as much as the visual changes that have taken place. Following Mike's advice, I changed the way I trained and importantly my diet too. I lost 10lb without losing any muscle mass, exactly the results I was hoping for. I was worried that being a fussy eater combined with having a two week holiday during my enrolment would hinder my chances of getting the results I was after, but with Mike's advice and encouragement I've started eating foods I never imagined I'd like and also stuck to the plan whilst on holiday, something I'm really proud of. After just 12 weeks I now feel fresher, re-vitalised and am really happy with how I look and the great thing is I've achieved it in a way that is sustainable and enjoyable and I know I'll continue to do things Mike's way and can go on to maintain and even improve upon the results I've achieved. One very happy customer. Thanks Mike.
Wow me posing in a bikini! never in my 44 years would I ever have thought I could do such a thing and that's all down to the brilliant Mike Calpin. I can't thank him enough. The VTS system is the best thing I have ever done! It's not really a diet, I have 5/6 meals/snacks a day and no not just lettuce leaves..real tasty food with lot's of really tasty recipes to choose from. It's all about consistency and moderation as Mike has taught me this as well as together with exercise and also making sure I get plenty of sleep/rest! You can get the body you desire...just follow Mike's advice in your weekly checkins. After just 2 enrolments, I'm happier healthier and have loads of energy. I would recommend The Virtual Training System to any one just a bit of determination and you can do it...I've had my slips but Mike has always been there to reassure me it will be ok.
Mike has changed my life - when I first started my journey I was overweight miserable and always complaining that I was overweight but Mike soon changed all that. I was a size 14/16 and now I'm a size 8/10 and feel a completely different person! I have toned up everywhere but the best is yet to come! I have more energy and my mood is miles better! One important thing I have learnt throughout my journey is that everyone is different and that slow and steady wins the race! thanks again for all your support xxx
Absolute life changing experience. I learnt so much about how to eat and work out properly, I always did fad diets but Mike has put me on the healthy right track. Over the 12 weeks I lost almost 8 inches off my waist and 5 inches off my glutes. Cannot thank you enough.
"Before embarking on my 12 week VTS adventure with Mike I was at the heaviest I'd ever been. I was constantly lethargic, had major issues with my gut and had never known a good nights sleep. I found it all too easy to blame the long anti social shifts that I worked. I'd followed Mike's transformations on facebook for a few year and used my up coming wedding as motivation to get into shape and I knew that if anyone could help me do it, it was Mike. I struggled in the first couple of weeks with readjusting to a lifestyle change and felt quite overwhelmed but Mike's advice and encouragement helped my settle right down. He always knows how to make you feel more confident & better about yourself and by sticking to what he said I've managed to get myself in the best shape i've been in for over ten years. It's not just how I look that is the difference as much as how I feel. Fitter, more energetic. I sleep a whole lot better and i've not had any issues with my gut at all!
I'd like to thank Mike for his support and advice"
Congrats to all the clients but I believe even bigger congratulations and respect are deserved for Mike for the sheer volume of results he has achieved and people's lives he has changed. Top bloke.Yeah Mike started my fitness journey off way before I ruptured the discs in my neck, great coach & a great guy
Becoming a part of #teamcalpin is by far the best thing I have ever done, it's been an education and has turned my life around completely. I have spent years battling my weight, being depressed and miserable, this lifestyle has been the most effective and efficient way of getting my weight under control. My body shape has changed beyond what I ever could have imagined already (3 dress sizes) and I am just a completely different person- happier and healthier than I have ever been with a thirst for anything challenging.. instead of hiding away like I used too. It has taught me that you really can achieve anything in life if you set your mind too it, so I'm not stopping yet, I will get the body that I have never thought was possible, as I now have the confidence to go with it, which is the greatest gift :-) Come on phase 4... I'm ready for you :-) Massive thanks to you both, its amazing what you both do to improve the life's of so many people! I am proud to be a part of your team and cant imagine my life without it! #teamcalpin x
I went to my brother Mike in need of some help to get me back in shape. Having a family, trying to eat healthy and find time to go to the gym is never easy, but Mike factored this in to my program and IT WORKED! Thanks Mike! I know how busy you are and I appreciate all your help
I would like to give a huge thank you to Mike for all his help in losing nearly 2 stone in only 9 weeks. Not only a fountain of knowledge on everything to do with nutrition and training, but a really great bloke. No patronising or blinding you with scientific terms, but support in achieving your goals. Would recommend him to anyone.
I would just like to thank Mike for all the help he has given me. He has changed my life! I was an 18 stone blob with no confidence and was miserable with myself but now I've never been so healthy, fit and full of life! I now have a lot of self confidence and believe in myself. All I can say is Mike is a genius and can't wait to achieve more results with him! I can't thank him enough!
By far the best thing I have ever done regarding my training ! Went to Mike at nearly 20 stone thinking if I lose 2 to 3 stone I'll be sorted! 7 stone later I'm still hard at it and loving it more than ever! Changing the way I was eating and training was 50% of it for me the other 50 % was not wanting to let Mike down. He is 100% behind all of his clients, that's what makes him the best !! Cheers mate!
I told Mike what I wanted to achieve and he developed a plan to work to. The results started to follow and I think they speak for themselves. I now feel more confident and I’m proud of my transformation. This is the best shape I’ve ever been in. It’s never too late! Dave. Please Note: When he was just 17 Dave, had his left leg amputated above the knee and lost all use of his left arm after a motorcycle accident. Dave, who was a keen sportsman as a teen, never gave up on his fitness goals, despite the ongoing challenges caused by his accident.
I think Mike did amazing, thanks Mike for what you did for me.
If you have goals and aims in life then Mike will help you reach them. Mike knows I have been up and down but we definitely got there in the end. With his expert nutritional advice he has completely changed my way of thinking towards food and what I put in my body. Mike has also been highly motivational and encouraging and with hard work, determination and willpower will help you reach anything you wish to achieve. I am looking forward to phase 2 and to reaching my next set of goals after my dad told me I'm too old for this malarky - well watch out dad! I will prove you wrong! Everyone needs a 'Mike' transformation!
I have really enjoyed the journey with Mike over the last 12 weeks, me and my wife have done it together and encouraged each other along the way. I always knew it was going to be tough to lose body fat but retain as much muscle tissue as possible, but with Mike's help and guidance I have certainly achieved this and I am extremely happy with the results. I have lost a total of 5 and a half inches from my waist and from other areas but still kept the size on my arms, which is what I wanted. I've lost a total of 12lbs which was always the goal at around a 1 lb per week. Thanks again Mike, I couldn't have done it without your help.
Patients say I look 10 years younger! I certainly feel it. Thank you Mike.. almost 3 1/2 stone lighter and 8 inches off my waist. This is just the start
WOW what an experience this has been! Mike has taught me so much its been amazing. I have so much more energy, i am more focused at work and just in general day to day in my busy life its just an amazing feeling. The food I have experienced has been so tasty its definitely changed my life. For the first time ever i will feel comfy in swimwear. I would recommend anyone to do this, its a life changing experience.. do away with all the silly fad diets, VTS is the key to getting the body you want, i have never looked back and loved every minute of it thanks so much. xxx
