Tien: So how long have you been doing Muay Thai?

Gerard: I think roughly about 2 years now.

Tien: Besides Muay Thai, what other activities do you do?

Gerard: Well, I love football and sometimes if I have the time, I will play some badminton or go swimming.

Tien: Gerard, before doing Muay Thai what was your weight like?

Gerard: Oooh, I was really heavy back then. My weight was like 120kgs, that's like 264 lbs. That was 1 year ago mate.

Tien: And what is your weight now?

Gerard: After taking up Muay Thai, now I weigh approximately 79kgs.

Tien: Wow, that's a great result mate. Congratulations!

Gerard: Hehe, Thanks mate.

Tien: What made you lose so much weight in such a short time?

Gerard: I set myself a personal goal and I stuck to it. I was really motivated by Thaiboxing and since taking up the sport, I'd never look back. I just kept training and trying my best to improve on my fitness level and polish my techniques constantly.

Tien: What made you choose to train at Fairtex?

Gerard: My friends at my gym back in Scotland recommended it. They traveled around Thailand training at different gyms and they thought Fairtex was the best.

Tien: So what do you think about Fairtex?

Gerard: Absolutely amazing mate! I had such a great time here that I feel sad leaving Fairtex. I am so miserable because I have to go back to Scotland now. I wish I had more time. But then again, I learned so much here and made so many friends. The staff here at Fairtex are really helpful, especially the trainers who taught me so much. In terms of fitness and techniques, I think I've improved a lot as well. Cheers to my trainer! I will definitely come back next year, no doubt about it.

Tien: What are your advise for people who wanna lose weight?

Gerard: Just stop thinking about it and do it! Get up, set yourself a personal goal and motivate yourself all the time. Do not be disappointed if you have setbacks at the early stage, because it takes time. Just stay motivated and come train at Fairtex yeah hehe! Because training at Fairtex is not only about combat skills but also fitness and weight loss as well.

Tien: Thank you so much for your time Gerard, Is there anything else you would like to add?

Gerard: Yeah Tien, I would like to thank my family, especially my Mom and Dad for making it possible for me to come to train here in Thailand. Also, my friends for the support they have given me and all the great guys at Fairtex who helped make it happen.

Tien: Thanks Gerard, and best of luck in your future undertakings.

Gerard: Thanks Tien.
