Due to time constraints I typically do half of a workout in the early morning and either finish it that night or the next morning. I do not spend a lot of time in the gym working out. This program is so doable even for someone who works full-time and is very involved in my church, son's school and has a very active social life. I love the VFX workouts and my body has transformed! At my age I cannot believe the shape that I have achieved.
My 54th birthday is next month and I want to thank John for creating a workout and an environment that has helped me feel awesome!
CLOSEI was pretty surprised when I saw my after pictures. I didn't think I changed so much. The transformation was amazing.
You just don't know how much you've improved until you compare your before and after pictures side by side.
At the beginning I doubted the program, but then when I saw my after pictures I was sold. I will stick to the VFX program and I am not going to look for any others.
CLOSEAfter seeing the results of the first VFX Transformation contest I bought the VFX workouts. I did the phase 1 workout from week 17 to early in my third trimester when I switched to shorter workouts. I became active on the community, where there were a few other pregnant members and plenty of mothers of small kids! I felt the VFX perspective (both community and workouts) was so well targeted to me, and I loved the podcasts for delving into the psychology of weight loss, the simplicity and the success of contest winners.
CLOSEAt the beginning of 2012 I was doing what I always do, searching for a workout program to help me lose the weight I had gained the previous year. Every year it was the same goal and that was to reach my ideal weight. The only difference was that this was my fortieth birthday and I wanted to enter my forties in the best shape. I have spent the last 17 years since having kids trying to lose weight. So working out and dieting is nothing new for me. Some years I had success but it was like a roller coaster up and down.
I was busting my butt with cardio and I didn't seem to make any improvement in the appearance of my body. I realized that my eating was a major issue and I started searching online for how low I could go without putting my body into "starvation mode" and that is how I happened to come across VFX. I listened to a short video that intrigued me and I then purchased VFX. I started on June 17th and I never looked back! And the best part was achieving my birthday goal.
CLOSEThrough VFX was I able to gain the tools to achieve the kind of body that I wanted. I can't say enough good things about this program and all the tools that are provided to help you reach your goals. The podcasts are a wealth of knowledge that really help you understand what you should focus on, the community is full of great people who are always supportive and encouraging and the workouts are absolutely amazing. I've never looked or felt better than I do now.
CLOSELosing weight has been the story of my life and I was ready to begin a new chapter when I discovered VFX in September 2012. In my mind VFX was the best decision I could have made for myself. In the beginning of 2012 I got caught up in the "eat more to weigh less" movement and got fat. So imagine my surprise when I discovered that with the help of VFX I could possibly achieve my weight loss goals. Food has always been my downfall, to find a program where I didn't have to be so restrictive with my choices and I could still enjoy the things I loved (in moderation) was the icing on the cake for me. I may not be at my VFX ideal weight or metrics right now but I am confident that as long as I continue to trust the process and work towards my goals that they will be achieved.
CLOSEI have struggled with weight since I can remember. I needed something that worked but was stable. I was at the gym 5 days a week and taught classes there! I watched what I ate. Why did I not look like it? People should have been able to look at me and think, wow she works out!
Then I came across VFX. Well, I liked it when I saw it.
At VFX, I found a supportive community of members who really care and help you.
CLOSEAfter following the program to the T, here I am now, three months after, 44 years old with the same waist I had in college, with a ten month old baby, fit and strong as ever. Thank you John.
CLOSEVFX was a completely new approach to me. I never tried anything like it, the workouts were challenging and the diet simple, completely contrary to what I did in the past.
This is the first time I realized that losing fat and getting in shape is not complicated.
I didn't even go to the gym; I was just working out at home.
And I didn't even have to restrict myself at social events, pretty much no one knew what I was doing.
CLOSEThe program had everything I have been searching for. The workouts were intelligently written. VFX also offered a contest and as a motivation the guys were interviewing the winners and asking them what exactly they did to get in better shape.
VFX also helped me discover all the myths about diets and the scare tactics marketers use on us to sell more supplements, foods and dietary programs.
Get VFX, join the community and start the journey today.
If I could do it, you can do it too.
CLOSEI got the results I wanted using the VFX program. The VFX Community was a huge part of that success. You can ask a question at any time, and there's a VFX member somewhere ready to offer support, encouragement and advice. Just reading through the blogs and posts you see someone going through the same struggles you are. The program is awesome on its own, but the women in the Community put it over the top!
CLOSEIt's still hard to accept that this is really how I look now. It takes some time to get used to your new body.
However, I am super happy with the way I look and am very proud of my body and my accomplishments.
VFX Program is created in a smart, but simple to understand and follow way; it's based on science and math, no BS.
The community is amazing too. I made so many friends there that I lost count; we talk all the time and hang out a lot.
Don't waste another second and get on board and join us too.
If you have any questions you can ask me or some other girls on the forum for help and we will give you the best tips we know.
CLOSEI was always small as a kid. Everyone called me skinny Minnie, so I still see myself as a small person. I started having kids and I've yo-yoed with my weight ever since.
I saw the VFX transformation contest winners and they looked awesome so I decided to give it a try. I love the VFX workouts. It's really fun and it made me really sore at first, but I finally started building muscle that even my husband has noticed. It's the best workout since being in the military.
CLOSEAt the age of 35, a history of health issues incurred by my mother and siblings made me realize I needed to get fit for myself and for my family. I wasn't extremely overweight, but enough that I wasn't comfortable in my clothes and felt weak. I had a need to feel stronger both inside and out.
Joining VFX was one of the best decisions I made, not only did I begin seeing better results, but I actually had more time to spend with my family at the end of the day. Utilizing the community's tools and seeing others struggles helped me get through my journey.
CLOSEI feel as if I have been on a rollercoaster of emotions and thought processes. At the beginning I felt very unsure that I would be able to complete or stick with the program for the whole twelve weeks. After a couple of weeks I started to feel as if nothing could stop me or hold me down.
I feel that VFX has given me the much needed reunion with the person I used to be. In fact not only was she back, but she was back with vengeance!
For this I thank you VFX.

CLOSEI love my pictures, and I owe this achievement to the team at VFX.
CLOSEI joined the VFX Community last November, I realized that this was working so well I just had to have Immersion so that I would always have access to every nook and cranny of VFX. I have no intention of stopping and will continue to work towards my ideal VFX goals. VFX serves my need for a program that has both consistency and variation, something you can play with. Because I've realized that's what healthy bodies and minds need and crave - FREEDOM: freedom to eat, to not eat, to lift heavy one day and do a metabolic circuit the next. Big thanks to John, and thanks especially to my VFX sisters for your unwavering support!
CLOSEThe community and the podcasts were really an asset and huge support for me.
When I had a bad day, I would just post there and immediately felt better after the supportive comments. I had some backwards days, crazy work, and weak will power on some days, but support from the community really helped me keep going.
It was amazing to find out that other women had exactly the same challenges and hearing them talking about what they were doing to get them handled was amazing.
CLOSEI dove headfirst into fitness after graduation. I scored near perfect on my pt test in the Army, became a marathon training coach, received my personal trainer certification. But I never felt beautiful. In VFX, I found a program that helped me achieve my goals.
CLOSEI am very proud of what I accomplished. I would highly recommend without reservation the VFX program. VFX is a program that any woman can do.
CLOSEIt's simple really, either you do it or you don't. It WAS simple. That simplicity carried me through all the mental and emotional banter that has resulted in confusion and despair in the past. Thank you John for the education you have given me that led to my success.
CLOSEMarathon running was my identity, a badge of honor. But what I was really doing was just letting it hijack my real goal – weight loss. I just wanted to get lean, that's all I wanted, but I would do these stupid things like hours of exhausting running every day or taking taekwondo classes.
VFX allowed me to get in touch with my primary goal again and they showed me the simplest and easiest steps to get in shape.
No more training for a marathon or a black belt.
Now I am happy with the way I look.
CLOSEI didn't think I had a lot of weight to lose. I didn't know how to lift heavy enough weights until doing VFX. I used to just lift really light 5 pound dumbbells. It was really neat because I didn't realize how strong I was until doing the program and finally lifting heavier weights.
I found VFX through Eat Stop Eat. Once I saw how others could change it made me realize I could change so I took the program more seriously.
Now I realize building muscle is going to take more time. I really like the community forum for the wealth of information. Thanks VFX.
CLOSEI'm glad I found the VFX systems, because my husband was really struggling with my inability to eat like a normal person when I was on restrictive diets. That's no way to live!
I dove right in to the VFX program, and immediately followed the protocols.
VFX is really different, it doesn't require you to change and identify with the approach like all the other programs, you don't have to stop talking to other people, just because they choose to eat or workout differently.
The program is great, it's all based on science, it all makes sense and is simple to follow.
CLOSEDespite the fact that I was eating "clean" and "healthy foods" during the day and everybody viewed me as the healthy food expert, I wasn't very happy with my weight.
Then when I searched for a better way of trimming down I stumbled across VFX.
The VFX system is amazing. The approach is logical and it makes so much sense. It's more flexible and simpler than anything I have tried.
And the community is amazing. I was scared that those girls will be somehow too extreme, but what I have found out that they are all intelligent, same minded women that are willing to help each other out.
The VFX team really knows what they are talking about.
CLOSEI was an athlete in college. I played a lot of tennis and had a strict diet regimen. But after college things started falling apart and I gained a lot of weight.
Later I had a lot of health issues related to hormones in the body so I did a lot of research on diet and fitness and found Eat Stop Eat and read it. I contacted Brad Pilon and asked him a lot of questions about my concerns.
Then I learned about VFX and tried the workouts. I found the community forum very helpful.
I got ideas from other girls in the community and tried everything they tried. A lot of things that worked for others didn't work for me. I had to put the scale and tape measure away and know I was doing everything in my power to succeed by estimating my calories and sticking with the workouts. I didn't just do VFX workouts, I also played tennis and a lot of other activities.
The community provides the option to talk to like minded people, who are not going to judge you and are on the same page as you, and have similar goals as you.
CLOSEI was looking for something simple but real. Not just a quick fix, but a way of life that would fit into my life. I found that in VFX. I like that there is science behind it, it is not just a fad or trend, I can approach it on my terms.
Bottom line, this is the first program I have followed through with. I am learning to integrate it into my life slowly, and while I am not all the way to my ideal VFX metrics yet, I am working towards it at a pace that has me confident that I will get there!
