After months of following Dan on Tik Tok, seeing numerous folk messaging him on this platform with success stories I decided after much consideration to sign up for the VIP plan at a cost of £99 a month.
For that money I paid I was bombarded with emails which I would sit and read and videos to watch.
I was sent out forms to complete and also allocated a massive amount of calories and promised the process will work.
I was allocated as a VIP member allocated a 30 minute phone call once a month with my coach Liam, now Liam is a gem, a lovely guy who is qualified and does know what he is talking about, Liam went above and beyond keeping in touch weekly with me instead of monthly.
The academy I thought was strange, it was the same people posting and all posts are vetted firstly by legends who as far as I could make out are just people who have done the 80/20 programme. As adults can we not be trusted to post what we feel necessary when it is a private group? Not allowed to mention weight or anything negative?
The lives were on at times of the day difficult to make, I did however one day join a live, I then plucked up the courage to ask a question to be told “dude go back and watch the start of this live” … really???
Then there was a massive post put on the academy page by Dan, it was all about trolls, his mental health at different stages of his life, how he has suffered in his life, how any negativity would be banned..this I just found so odd. To me the entire post he had written was negative, now this just didn’t sit well with me as in my opinion as an adult you can ignore these people who are trolling.
As a business owner and someone who states he is a mentor who changes lives this was not professional behaviour. You don’t see The Body Coach behave like this.
Then as it happened my financial circumstances changed and I could not carry on with the plan anyway.
I emailed the team and was very honest about why I was leaving the plan and that even if I could have afforded to I would not be going any further. I had a very nicely worded reply from Sean.
For £99 a month I expect more than emails to read, yes Liam was fantastic but that was just a phone call and a few WhatsApp’s.
The plan itself I found I was eating so much food late at night just to make the calories, I lost cm’s in the first week but then gained the next 2 weeks.
Would I have carried on and trusted the process? No…how can you trust a process when you can’t actually trust the creator of the process.
Sorry Dan, I wish you well, I hope the trolls don’t get to you anymore and hope your mental health can withstand honesty you are receiving on this forum, there is a difference between honesty and trolls.
