The summer diets have been and gone, we all (hopefully!) managed to fit into our bikinis for the hot weather, but now that autumn has had its wicked way with our waistlines (damn you Yorkshire hotpots!) it’s time to think about getting back into shape for all the Christmas parties we’ll soon be attending. Instead of yo – yoing along on the latest fad diet we’ve been looking for something a little more permanent and we’ve found it! This is truly something you could stick to after Christmas too and shed those mince pies quicker than you can say ‘Ho Ho Ho.’

MACS have discovered a fabulous company which we are more than happy to recommend to our members. Bodydoctor is a person training centre with a difference. They really focus on the personal service and their trainers are dedicated to getting you fit and healthy in a way which suits your lifestyle and needs.

The really great thing about Bodydoctor is that their results are proven; just one glance at the testimonials on their website is enough to convince us that they can help anyone get results. Unlike personal trainers at some gyms, Bodydoctor really care about you and what results you want to get. Every exercise you’re given is specifically designed with you and your goals in mind meaning that you truly get the results you want and indeed deserve.

It’s not all about working out though; Bodydoctor also gives you a personalised nutrition programme which allows you to eat healthily and ensures that you have all the right strength and energy to perform the exercises given to you. They will also supply you with a wide range of recipe ideas along with ingredient suggestions and they’ll even do your shopping lists for you! There simply is no easier way to start a new diet. Your trainer will go through exercises step by step with you, so it’s not like you’re being dictated to. You will be given all of the information to know WHY you need to make the changes they’re suggesting, which is a really important step in order to achieve your goals.

Sound good? Well as a MACS member you could take advantage of some incredible, exclusive, deals for the New Year, not only will you look and feel great but you’ll be saving money too – Amazing!

Here are the incredible deals we’ve been offered especially for Y-O-U. So schedule in a bit of me time amongst the festive madness and let Bodydoctor help you become who you want to be.
