Handsome Factory Barbershop x PURE Transformation

Handsome Factory Barbershop values their employees’ well-being and has linked with us to help on improving their dietary habits to drive healthier lifestyles. Ming and Anson were the participants in this transformation programme by PURE. Each employee was assigned different challenges, with Ming challenged to compete in a 10k marathon while Anson was motivated to complete a comprehensive boxing regimen.  

Before the programme started, Anson weighed 56.5kg with 27.7kg of lean muscle mass with almost zero experience. We noticed earlier one of Anson’s irregular dietary habits. His busy working schedule and lack of knowledge of nutritional foods also contributed to his lifestyle. We started the scheme by increasing his daily intake to increase his energy while simultaneously educating him about food choices that are suitable. In less than two weeks, we noticed a significant improvement in his fitness performance. He put on 2.5kg and improved his lean muscle mass by 2kg.  

Ming’s objective was the opposite. He weighed 70.8kg with 17.6% of body fat. The mission was to lower his body fat to 13-14%. He has irregular sleeping patterns and dietary habits, including skipping meals during the night. Throughout the programme, our nutritionist has set out a diet plan to reinforce regular food intake with suggestions for healthier dine-out alternatives. Pairing the programme with personal trainer sessions allowed Ming to feel energised.  

Half way through the program, we reviewed their Inbody reports. Ming’s weight dropped from 70.8kg to 69.1kg and his body fat mass went from 12.5kg to 11.9kg. On the other hand, Anson’s weight increased from 56.5kg to 57.8kg and his muscle mass increased from 27.4kg to 27.8kg.

They both have made progress and built a healthy and active lifestyle in only one month's time.
