    Just wondering what people think.. I'm interested in starting a high intensity intermittent training programme and bar the supplement thing, these guys seems to offer a pretty good programme at a good price. I know myself the nutrition side makes sense for weight loss, I was considering doing it without using the supplements, just focusing on real high protein foods and veggies if I did join. I'd like if people only bothered offering informative opinions, rather than just shouting it down as Atkinsesque quackology. Or if people have any other idea for gyms/programmes that'd be great, thanks!

    Your first step should be to do a search as there have been a few good discussions on here over the years.

    Not really helpful tbh, I'm more interested in whether the programme is effective or not.

    My point was, that having read the articles reprinted in my link, you may have come to a conclusion for yourself about where to spend your $.
    On a snakeoil salesman or on a few sessions with a PT and some common sense dieting.
    But sure, in isolation, that program is effective at losing weight.
    So is chopping off a limb.
    I recommend neither.
    Just my opinion, free country etc..

    Powerlifting is effective
    Weightlifting is effective
    Crossfit is effective
    Running is effective
    Rubgy is effective
    Football is effective
    ....etc.

    Everything you start doing that you didn't do before, will be effective. The crunch comes in deciding which is the more efficient (and somewhat enjoyable)use of your time and which will generate the best results. It's personal preference to a point, in that you'll most likely stick at the thing you enjoy the most. But it's also a case of educating yourself to the point where you can choose the most efficient use of your time and money - Educo doesn't fit into this category and I think you know it. There are tons of reputable trainers who can motivate you etc. if that's your primary requirement, but they'll also provide you with decent , cost and time effective training program to support it.
