< 💻🖥📱 NEW ARPT WEBSITE 📱🖥💻> Well it's been a long time coming 😄 but my website has been given the thumbs up and go ahead for public release! Check it out at www.austinrhatiganpt.com I love the layout, presentation and professionalism entailed in the whole site, which I have Shane McNulty to thank for. If you're planning to get a functional and inviting website made up, make sure to contact Shane for all of your needs. Incredible attention to detail from start to finish, not to mention call outs for photos all included! As a bonus to the launch of my website I have written and posted my first full blog post called 'My two keys to success; Individuality and Consistency:' Have a read and see what you think - whether you are the super gym owner or a once a week fitness class attendee, there is something to take away from this article for everybody!

< ❗️💪🏻 TRANSFORMATION 💪🏻❗️> Another incredible transformation! This time from our newly turned 50 year old friend. Listen to what she has to say about her transformation starting January '17 before I go on... “I started working with Austin in August of last year for 1 session per week and while I was fully committed to the training my eating habits were not so good. In January I set myself a goal to have a photo shoot done and increased my sessions to 2 per week. After 13 weeks I lost 6.5 kilos but more importantly over 6% of body fat and have seen amazing results. I have never felt stronger or healthier. Austin is passionate about fitness and nutrition and it shows. His guidance and advice throughout was fantastic.I have now set some new goals and we are working on those every week. His easy going friendly personality creates a relaxed comfortable atmosphere whilst still making each workout challenging." This lady has inspired me so much, turning 50 she set out to do one big thing for herself every month that year in celebration of her life - very admirable! Her work ethic was second to none, having come from a background in Irish international Rugby, her mindset was that of a warrior. This lady had a hip replacement and countless shoulder surgeries, but that never stopped her during hard training sessions. The key to this steady sustainable weight loss was in her Nutrition. Everything was adhered to and followed to the smallest detail. I learned a lot from training her just like I do each client and hopefully you can take away something from this amazing transformation too. No excuses, Never too old, never too anything! Head down and never stop working hard towards your chosen goal! 👊🏻💪🏻 A massive massive congratulations for making a massive positive change in your life and of course getting some lovely photos at the end of it all 📸 😄 On to the next goal!! #ARPT #TransformationThursday #Transformation #PositiveChange #Rugby #TheLAB #TheLABFam #TheLabPerformanceandNutrition #TrainingFacility #Gym #Wellness #Health #Dublin #Ireland #FatLoss #Transformations #Weights #HIIT #Workout #Athletes #Nutrition #FunctionalMedicine #CorporateWellness

<ARPT X JMcC WEIGH IN'S> Joe all weighed in and ready to go for his 70kg lightweight battle on Cage Warriors 83. Watch him go to war on UFC Fight Pass tomorrow night! Let's go @joemccolgan_ !! 👊🏻 #CageWarriors83 #CW83 #ARPT #ARPTAthelteProgram #WeightCut #UFCFightPass

<ARPT X JMcC FIGHT SHORTS> Not so many years ago, if somebody had told me I would see the day that my business logo was on the leg of a professional athletes' shorts, not to mention that of a professional MMA fighter would I have believed them. Very proud to be helping one of Ireland's top prospects with his nutrition and weight cut for his third camp running. One at 77kg and the last two at an amazing 70kg. Best of skill to @joemccolgan_ tomorrow night at Cage Warriors 83. #CW83 #ARPT #ARPTAthelteProgram #WeightCut

<ARPT X MMA Nutrition> Joe McColgan looking fresh faced after his weigh ins at BAMMA26 a couple of weeks back, just before his incredible winning performance. He had a few nice words to say about his time with me working on fine tuning his nutrition leading up to this fight whilst talking to the guys over MMA Connect TV

<ARPT - Monday Motivation Transformation> This here is one of my nutrition clients whom I saw bi monthly at most. I would spend this time with him taking his measurements adjusting his nutrition bit by bit each time if necessary and giving him any and all of the direction needed for somebody who had the self discipline to chase thegoals they had in mind. Aiding him with some gym programs to help shed any excess fat and build lean muscle was crucial to his transformation. His 'before photo' in fact is a picture from about mid way point of when he started working with me, as unfortunately he lost his initial photo. The main things to note were, this young man took part in this during a very stressful year of exams where he studied, trained and ate well bringing him to where he is now, no excuses! As we can see he never had a huge amount of excess fat to begin with, but the numbers speak for themselves when we look at what he achieved... 75kg & 16.4% body fat to begin, finishing at 73.5kg & 9.5% body fat, with an incredible 3.8kg of lean muscle added and 7% drop in body fat. So as you can see, the scales is never a great way to measure your progress, something more detailed and measurable such as a skin fold calliper test or BioSignature is always of great help when looking to achieve those ever desired goals! Well done for your awesome work and dedication!

<Bio Signature 2016 complete> What a course!!! Just finished up in London after a phenomenal few days of learning @poliquingroup ! Can't wait to get back and implement as much of this fresh and up to date knowledge with my clients and colleagues straight away! Staying up to date with the latest research in this ever changing industry, in my opinion is what keeps you ahead of the curve and in the best position to give your clients the value they should expect to get from your sessions. Value/Cost!

<Bio Signature London 2016> Coming into my last day here in London with the @poliquingroup To say it has been a great experience is an understatement. The team here are beyond helpful and their knowledge has exceeded any and all of my expectations. With a friendly approach full of engaging analogies, I feel I will come away a much more knowledgable and enlightened trainer in the areas of hormone regulation, nutrition and keys to successful long term fat loss. I would highly recommend this course to anybody in the wellness industry looking to be a step ahead in the industry and for the practitioners out there who truly care about making genuine changes in their clients lifestyle. To follow that, if you are looking for help in any of the above areas and don't know where to start, seek out the nearest Bio Signature practitioner in your area and reap the benefits of the knowledge they have attained from the progressive team @poliguingroup

Absolutely delighted for @joemccolgan_ on his incredible performance last night at BAMMA 26. He beat the bookies favourite in a classy & energetic fashion. Very thankful to get the opportunity to work with such a hard working and dedicated athlete. I have a very very enjoyable job (hobby) which is my passion and that too I am more than grateful for! On to the next, let's hope for Joe the @ufc come a knockin for the Belfast card in November!! 💪🏻 Nutrition by: @austinrhatiganpt

<BAMMA 26 - Joe McColgan> @JoeMcColgan_ weighing in at championship weight, 70kg on the button; no baths, no sweats, just tailored nutrition! Can't wait to see this fight tomorrow night, it's gona be awesome. Best of luck Joe, nutrition is on point and sick training to match that I'm sure! 💪🏻👊🏻 Nutrition by: @austinrhatiganpt

<The LAB Performance & Nutrition> Watch this space...... 💚✌🏻️💪🏻

<ARPT MMA Nutrition> Can't wait to see these two men go at it on BAMMA26 Joe Mc Colgan is always in incredible shape with consistent hard work in the gym and on the mats. He took it to a new level for this fight when he decided he needed to match his training with some specifically tailored sports nutrition. Since working with me, Joe has gotten a great return on investment, with a reported huge boost in energy, efficient body fat loss & rapid recovery inbetween his sessions. This has been, and will continue to be Joe's easiest weight cut to date. With that in mind it has been great to be able to focus on keeping him full of energy (and food) for this whole camp, keeping his training sessions at a very high quality performance output. This is only the beginning of this relationship and I'm looking forward to Joe's extremely bright future ahead! #ARPT #TheLabPerformanceandNutrition #BAMMA #UFC #UFCBelfast #MMA
