As CEO of a major worldwide marketing company the pressures of corporate life were beginning to take their toll. I love the challenges of business but the lifestyle involves living across ever changing time zones and sacrifices in personal free time. I race a Farr 40 yacht competitively and love to play tennis. 

I began to find that my performance in business and in sport was beginning to suffer. Energy levels were down, basically I was out of shape although I considered myself a relatively healthy eater who took regular exercise. 

Then a mutual friend, a tennis coach, introduced me to Tim Bean at Total Physique Management –an exclusive consultancy based in London. Tim showed me what he had achieved for some of his high-flying clients and I was hooked. He immediately set about reorganising and redirecting my entire approach to personal wellness. No easy task bearing in mind my travel and work schedules. But that's what he does best -truly bespoke programmes that fit lifestyles. 

Two weeks into the new plan that Tim set up I really understood the right way to exercise and knew what and when to eat. It was beginning to work and most importantly it was working within my lifestyle. The way Tim thinks through and plans your programme is unique. He gets an in-depth understanding of you and then sets and manages attainable goals in nutrition and exercise to ensure you achieve how you want to look and feel. 

Just twelve weeks later and the results were remarkable, energy levels were massively up and I could see that I was quite literally changing shape! Business and sport were not only more enjoyable but I was more effective. But this is not just about a quick fix -I have learnt in some detail how to exercise the right way -so I don't waste time in the gym. I also know that I can continue to enjoy fine food and wine and to keep this in balance with my wider nutritional needs. 

Bottom line -a sound investment, one of the best I have ever made. Tim Beam is definitely worth a call!
