Sustainablechange レビュー 579

I outreached Alex from sustainable change as I loved his energy. He replied wanting to know more about my journey and where I with my journey. I wasn’t sure if I was ready to commit at the time & so I thought that was it.

How wrong I was!

I’ve discovered Alex and his team have a passion for getting women busy living their best life!

He sent me free courses, resources and informative videos - yes all for free!

This has certainly changed how I think, made me believe I can do hard things and that sustainable weight loss is possible.
Thanks you Alex for the nudge, your motivation, passion, support, practical tips and energy which is infectious and for showing me the path to a sustainable change is possible.
I will never eat my biscuit until I’ve drank at least half my cuppa from now on!

This is a fantastic programme , trained professionals, great advice and support all throughout your journey. It covers everything from nutritian to exercise but include all the mental health support too. I lose weight sustainably without gimmicks or quick fixes. Its a long term outlook tailored to you. Fab team and i have just the best coach.

This is a review about my coach at Sustainable Change and not a review of the company as a whole.

Before working with my coach the amazing Siobhra, I felt like my weight and drinking was quietly taking over parts of my life I didn’t even realise I was losing. It wasn’t just how I looked — it was how I felt about myself. I’d lost confidence, avoided photos, and hid behind clothes that didn’t feel like “me.” Every day felt like another battle with my own thoughts. I felt stuck, overwhelmed, and honestly… defeated. I knew I needed help, but I didn’t know where to start or if I had the strength to try again. Like a lot of women, I was always able to lose the weight and increase my fitness but then would pile the weight back on again and become a sofa surfer.

Working with Siobhra has been completely life changing. Yes, I’ve lost weight — but that’s just one part of the story, in fact one of the smallest parts of my journey.

Siobhra believed in me before I believe in myself. She saw potential in me that I had forgotten was there, and she keeps reminding me of it every step of the way. She has never judged me, rushed me and never made me feel like a failure on tough days. Instead, she has helped me understand my patterns, my triggers, and my emotions with so much compassion.

Siobhra has helped reframe how I speak to myself, how I look at myself, and how I take care of myself. That mindset shift changed everything. Not strict rules. Not punishment. But sustainable habits, practical guidance, and small wins that build into real progress.
And because of that, my confidence has grown, my energy has lifted, and I finally feel like I’m stepping back into my own life. And I know I couldn't have done this without her support, patience, and genuine care.
It feels like we are in it together! She is always in contact and we have built up a relationship that means I am trueful and honest with her. We laugh a lot too!

I have never been a gym fan – but the strength sessions that Siobhra has put together for me are tough, enjoyable and allow me to see my progress from week to week.

What I’d say to someone who is nervous about starting
If you’re nervous about starting — I completely understand. I was terrified too.

But working with a coach who genuinely cares, listens, and guides you with zero judgement changes everything.

In the last 4 months, Siobhra has walked beside me the whole way. Giving me encouragement on the days I have struggled, celebrated with me on the days that I have smashed it and reminded me of my strength when I forget I have it.

I think Alex and his team have cracked it for people who have been trying for years to lose weight and keep it off without even dieting!
I haven't even paid a penny and have been given so many amazing resources of principles/hacks to live by and create healthier, sustainable routines and habits, exercise plans and meal plans and recipes (it's still not a diet and definitely not gimmicky).
There are free live clinic calls 4 mornings a week which, even when I haven't been feeling it, I'm never sorry to have joined. There are people with all manner of very similar barriers to yourself, guaranteed, who are showing that seemingly ordinary people are capable of the extraordinary turn arounds in health and wellbeing.
I've never felt more motivated to start a journey.
Thank you Alex 🙏🏼

As from the get go Alex was very helpful, asking questions about life style eating habits and much more so he could help understand you as a individual and what needs you need. As a result their is a support group 7.25 every morning mon - thurs and lots of free groups to join and help you on your journey. It has been such an eye opening for me and thing I didn't even think about. I realized, once menopause hit how much every thing changes, then health problems. we need to change how we do thing to keep on top of it and this is where Alex and sustainable change comes in and helped me changed the way I think

My weight was making me miserable, depressed and unwell. I now have a positive outlook, most of the time :-)
If unsure or nervous about giving it a go, all I would say is take the plunge, you won't regret it. The team are wonderful people :-) Genuine, kind, professional and none judgemental. Alex is a very inspirational person and Greg is so kind and helpful. Thank you both along with others in the team for making my life better :-)

This is a game changer and it’s free, what’s not to love. Seriously, there are lots of resources to help me or you to get fit, lose weight or just stay on track and understand what works and helps with your goals. I’m extremely pleased I found it. Thanks

Saw him on Instagram and started to follow, straight away i got some links with tips and advice, i kept thinking he’s gonna ask for some money soon but he didn’t
I have been on the links he sent and they are really helpful with good advice, easy to watch and understand
No waffling, straight to the point and relavent, he’s not trying to sell anything…still waiting for the catch 😂
Definitely well worth a follow 🙌

I have been sent the resources free and have looked through a few of the videos so far which all contained sound advice. I don’t have the equipment at home for some of the exercises so I will have to adapt the plan but otherwise I’m looking forward to following the plan.

AT LAST - Genuine, Honest, Understanding, Empathetic, all round support dealing with health, weight, exercise, hydration, mindset etc to guide and help us to loose weight, increase our flexibility, health and outlook on ourselves and the wider World all in a Sustainable way!!!!

After scrolling through Social media daily and finding lots of posts offering the best solution on loosing weight, getting fitter, looking better - do this, buy this, download this - I came across Sustainable Change and something 'hit' so I posted a comment and almost immediately they came back to me asking about me, why I had contacted etc etc. Blind spots were mentioned and a call booked in.
Wondered what I had let myself in for, what they were going to sell me, was it for real and had I done the right thing.
By the end of that first call I was in - it just felt genuine.

I've been overweight for as long as I can remember - the only time I've been anywhere near 'skinny' was in my early 20s when I was smoking and drinking rather than eating or looking after myself!
I was brought up in a good home, great parents, flexible lifestyle, walking, sailing and camping for holidays - so always quite fit but always quite chunky.
I tried a few diets but nothing ever worked.
My career took off and I was travelling a couple of hours a day to and from work and then had the fortune to work internationally - living in hotels with a team, working extremely hard and letting our hair down at night to 'recover' ready for the next day.
The weight piled on! At my peak I was just under 21 stone, in size 24 clothes.
Eventually, I got this down to 15 stone following a well known Slimming plan, but by 2022 I was on the way back up and stayed around 16/17 stone for the next few years - but I was fit. I was walking my dogs daily and up mountains weekly, I was sailing, I wasn't eating unhealthily, I'd stopped smoking long ago but drinking was still on the agenda.

Early 2025 I started doing Strength Training and loved it - but I didn't seem to be getting much stronger. My instructor started talking to me about Protein which started me thinking but I still didn't understand why I wasn't I loosing weight?

In my early 60's I wanted to find something that meant I could understand more about what I eat and how to get fitter and loose weight to enable me to maintain the lifestyle and activities that I was loving for as long as I possibly could.

And that's when I saw the Facebook Post - so what is Sustainable Change - it's not just a diet, it's about what you eat, your workouts, your hydration, your mindset and all encompassing encouragement and support with your coaches and direct contact to 'like minded' people - think you're the only one, forget it, so many of us tell the same story of weight throughout our lives.

So = Feel the fear and do it anyway!

2 weeks in, 2kg down. Now heading towards my 12th week and on track to have lost 10kg!

Thinking of doing it - just do. You get all round support with daily Live Facebook meetings, your own personal coach who contacts you regularly and you can reach out to whenever you want, meal plans, zoom workshops on resistance and strength training, on mindfulness and mindset and a thousand reasons why 'all or nothing will only ever lead to nothing'.

My first call ended with - 'the only way to fail is to quit'. So true.

I reached out for some advise. Was honest with what I had tried in the past and that at the moment I couldn’t commit to a plan that would cost money.
I still received a reply, asked lots of questions and gave some amazing advice.
Also they sent me free support on their Facebook site, sent videos and advice and free mastery class.
Also checked in if I had managed to use the support and and make a start with feeling better in myself.
Lovely, kind people and made me think there are some genuine nice people out there.
I will defo be back when I’m ready to join the paid plan.

Initially thought how could this service be free.
Lots of great information sent on asking for it.
I followed on Facebook.

I am only 4 weeks in and I have lost a lot of weight. But more than I am developing a new, sustainable approach to keeping the weight off. The App, the personal trainer and the live support are all invaluable in helping me make the changes I need to make. And I'm not hungry!!

I started the programme in early November 25 paying £2000 but quickly realised that the programme is oversold and that you don't get what you're told you will. Scarlet was my coach and is excellent (but very busy - I suspect she has too many people to coach) and I also enjoyed and benefitted from 2 sessions with Jane the mindset coach.

The app that you're provided with is cheap, clunky and difficult to use however, being able to log what I was eating helped me to keep track of protein, carbs, fat and calories. I also used the resistance training sessions on the app (there are basic errors in the AI sessions there too - that why I say it's cheap) and I watched motivational videos and significantly increased my steps every day and I lost weight.

Alex sells his programme by also mentioning his 'Lives' on FB Mon-Thurs but these are free to anyone and are marketing sessions that I found annoying. He does these to get new clients with promises of scholarships (factually and legally misleading as they cost £8,900) and pushy tactics to get peoples' phone numbers.

At the beginning of January 26 'Ruby' arranged a call for me with Eoghan and I wrongly believed that this was more support. This call was a 75 minutes long very pushy sales call where I was told that I needed to 'continue to learn' that I 'haven't got everything right yet' that I'll 'become overconfident' and that 'any weight loss, mobility etc doesn't last' (I have my written notes of this call). I was also told that I'm at risk of Diabetes, Dementia, Cancer, Stroke and Arthritis and that with their help, I could increase my life span by 15 years, a statement that should not be made. Then came the cost - £8,900 reduced by the £2,000 I'd already spent for another 25 months. I told Eoghan that I wasn't interested and that everything that he'd said had completely devalued what I'd already paid for - he'd made it very clear that 12 weeks isn't enough and that I needed to spend more money to lose any more weight.

A couple of weeks ago I discovered that the 3 exercise sessions a week on FB that I had been doing were being reduced to 1 per week, removing another benefit.

Roll on to yesterday - the app that is a part of the so called 'lifetime membership' and had everything that I used (and valued) on it, has been wiped so I can't see my weight loss history, the resistance training sessions etc. It's pretty useless now. I had a message saying that I could use the FB 'Inner Circle' page which is used by the members with little input from any of the team and is presumably free, and was also sent a link (with the wrong address) to a 'relapse prevention kit' which is simply a form you complete that allows Alex/his team to get feedback (for their marketing?).

My advice? Look further than Sustainable Change/The Sports Dietician. Save money and use AI and a good Personal Trainer/Coach to get the results you want. The My Fitness Pal app is great for logging food and I wish I'd used that instead as my history would be stored there.

Finally, I'm a Business Consultant who supports businesses with their structure, processes, values etc and I'm horrified to read some of the reviews on here. I know that many have been removed as I've been keeping an eye on Trustpilot for a while. I give reviews to support businesses and normally don't give negative reviews online but in this case and as I've read reviews from others who have been so badly treated, the negative feedback is necessary.

I was very up front about my weight loss telling said person what method of weight loss I was using. Then this morning to my horror I see on fb page him saying I am not being told the truth about it.
This is also marketed as free which it is not when you start discussing 1:1 sessions after getting lots in o off me I was then told they would need investment of £275.
Why not be clear about this from the beginning.
I said I could not afford this.
I was then told I would be given free access to fb page and which I already had and some other information. Then I was asked if I could give a good review. Which I initially said I would. After thinking over night I feel all I got out of this is giving someone far too much info about myself for nothing in return.
Lesson learned nothing is free in this world.

Even 60 seconds tonight to get this done would be a huge help.

Subject line: Your biggest WIN with us

My experience of working with Alex and my coach Jamie has been nothing but positive. It has been informative and supportive allowing me to devlop myself so I can be a better version of me. I have lost 10kg. Nothing I was doing before was working. This way of life has given me the tools to access this different way of life. If you are nervous about starting trust the processes and trust your coach.

I discovered this amazing free course via Facebook. Alex provides a foundation of resources to support you to begin and achieve your personal weight loss goals. The Monday-Thursday live chat at 7.30am via the community group is so positive, informative and supports how you start the day to help you succeed. I would definitely recommend this Free Course so if you are being ambivalent about joining go for it and just get it done

Alex is very helpful and provided me with lots of free information to help me in my weight loss & fitness journey- thank you

I started following Alex on instagram he gave such actionable goals and tips to help me on my journey and I love so much that so many resources, videos, diet plan and membership of a supportive Facebook group, have been given for FREE. Alex is helping me change my mine set I’m down 6 pounds already so if your not sure I say go for it

It’s not a diet it’s a way of sustaining change that makes my life better. My coach is always on hand to help me, offers guidance when needed. Alex’s live always gives me something to think about. They look at the whole person not just what I eat, look at how I’m sleeping, what exercises am I doing. Encourages me to keep learning about myself supports me to develop strategies to support my journey
