🟣 Did I write this review myself? 🤔
A tale of fake reviews and real results
Well hello there, my delectable little deep dish pizza 🍕
Everything seemed normal and friendly when Mike sat down with Gordon.
Until Gordon flipped open a laptop.
Pulled up Trip Advisor.
Pointed to a 5-star review and asked…
"Did you write this yourself, Mike"?
Mike was sweating like a nun in a cucumber field.
He tried to deny it.
But Gordon Ramsay - yep, that Gordon Ramsay - wasn't having any of it.
Turns out, Mike had been writing fake glowing reviews for his own restaurant on Kitchen Nightmares.
Now, I'm about to drop a review that's so good, you might think I've pulled a Mike.
But unlike Mike's fishy tales at The Fish and Anchor, this is 100% grade-A authentic feedback from a real-life BYB legend:
✍🏻 ==========
"Hi Rachel and my fantastic PT Sophia,
I'm excited for the next BYB. Can't wait.
Just thought I'd ping you an email to say that BYB as a whole package is incredible. I think the biggest difference from the 9 personal trainers I've seen in the last 7 years is the educational bits but for me specifically the body image talks.
I've absolutely hated my body for the last 7 years for not responding like it used to, to exercise and dieting (totally the wrong way, just used to cut out certain foods and eat a shit load of salads with hardly any protein and be a hungry, angry bitch for a few months and then binge and then the whole cycle would begin again).
I would be soooo fixated on the numbers and not on how I feel.
Also, the community on Circle and support from others is great, also comments from the other PT's.
It just feels like an amazing community that looks after each other.
Congratulations on your 700k Insta followers. It's obvious why BYB gets sold out so quickly and why you have so many.
You don't just fling a plan at someone and say "do this" (yeah, I bought a plan from those silly American Mind Pump guys and did 2 sessions and gave up).
Keep up the amazing work that you do. Worth every bloody penny, especially now
I'm starting to accept my post-menopausal body and the amazing, strong, beautiful shit it can do"

If I'd written this myself, I'd have at least thrown in a joke about protein farts.
This is the kind of feedback we get for BYB all the bloody time.
We're not just slinging workout plans like cheap shots at last orders.
We're serving up a whole three-course meal of fitness goodness:
Main: Kick-ass workouts
Side: Body image real talk
Dessert: A community sweeter than your nan's apple pie
So, if you're ready to join a fitness program that's more addictive than a Netflix true crime drama and more supportive than your favourite sports bra...
It's the last intake of the year.
Don't make me go all Gordon Ramsay on you for missing out.
Big love,
Rachel 🥰
