Hypothyroid Body Transformation

Total waste of your Money – Signed up for this very expensive program. Very disappointed with how the program works. I had a different coach nearly every week which was hard because every coach had contradictory advice to the previous coach. I expressed my concerns but it was never followed up, coaches didn’t ever reply as they said they would. Very disappointed with this. So many other better options out there. Big rip off!!!

This does what it says – *Personal Support as promised *Tailored to your lifestyle *Tailored to your preferences and needs *Nutritional expert information *Making lifelong changes *Moving weight that previously wouldn't budge

The 4% program helped me lose those annoying last 5 kg – I have generally eaten healthily and exercised my whole life, so I had good habits. However for years I could not lose the 5kg I wanted to lose so my clothes fitted better. The 4% program highlighted the few small changes I made, to lose these 5kg and return to my goal weight within a few months. The support I received from my Coach was also… Read more ·  1

excellent giving me food ideas to think of. I have now kept off the 5kg for 5 months and feel 100% confident they are gone forever, because of the small changes I learned to make whilst doing the 4% program.

It was prefect. Money well spent – I went from 105kgs to 83kgs in the programme. The staff and support was amazing. And so much information. It was a life saver for me. I halved my cholesterol too. I used to struggle moving around and stairs would leave me out of breath. I now know how to eat better and I have my life back. Thank you to all the lovely team of the 4% club. 100% recommend it. Show reply

Left early – I was very clear from the start that I am online most of my waking hours. I work full-time and study online part-time. The first part of this is watching videos online and I was incredibly disappointed with the realisation that this was an online program with a phone call with someone I will never meet and who would never see a single of the meals… Read more

I'm eating. I was quite lost at the start but submitted the incredibly tedious trackers online and got the most ridiculous feedback from the coach. She clearly had no idea on my day to day life as she banged on about cooking for my family and taking walks once my family were taken care of. There is no family. I'm studying in the evening. The next coach had me switching things out and around which seemed to be going ok. I stopped doing the trackers as I found them incredibly tedious and highlighting what I knew - I'm obese, not losing weight, not losing size, not sleeping, not studying and my stress levels were out of control. The last 3 weeks I was barely getting 6 hours sleep, was exhausted all the time, crying randomly throughout the day, the simplest tasks were overwhelming. I missed gym for 3 weeks. It was a constant shame spiral of me not making progress. So after paying just over $3000, I pulled out with 9 weeks to go. Still fat. Still tired. Still not keeping up. The best night sleep I've had in weeks was the night after I quit this program. It was not benefiting me in anyway and was absolutely making me feel worse. I may still be fat, but the relief of not constantly weighing and measuring myself with no improvement at least saw me head back to the gym in the first time for a while.

Very misleading, costs not explained – I was super keen to see that this would be able to be implemented long term. The costs were $8 per day for 26 weeks. Signed up and ready to go to only find out the charges were for 9mths! not 26 weeks, this increased the total investment by adding an extra $1,000 to the bill. I was out. This deception is morally wrong. They refunded and cancelled… Read more

everything for me but I wouldn't of wasted my time and the person on the phone if this was explained accurately at the initial enquiry. Thanks, but no thanks.

Be sure it’s 4 you – Be sure it’s for you. Fees exceed $3,000. There is no cancellation policy. Not even for financial hardship. You will simply be referred back to the agreement you signed. The program in a nutshell is to provide you with the lifestyle ‘tools’ to do it for yourself. Portions by food type, some recipes and podcasts on various lifestyle subjects.… Read more

Ideas for exercise, a weekly tracker to complete and a weekly call from a nutritionist. Your nutritionist will give you feedback on your weekly tracker submission. You need to be disciplined and organised.

My nutritionist has not reached out to me since I advised I wanted to cancel my membership. There is no number to call, I had to book a call (online booking system) with administration to discuss my financial problems. The first available telephone appointment meant I had to wait 2 weeks to speak to someone.

The people in particular the nutritionist are nice, but be sure you will follow through as there is no backing out.

Useless program and no compassion when you realised the take the whole lot straight away. Nearly $2000 – See above review for my opinion on this sales pitch.

The program has set me up for life – The 4% club has taught me habits that i can continue every day of my life beyond the program. It has helped me to understand how to balance healthy eating without missing out on all the things i love. I am now able to indulge occasionally and then get back on track the next day without feeling guilty. So glad i decided to do the program and finally shift the extra Kg's

4% Club, life changing!! – Such a fantastic program, easy to follow and is achievable, a complete lifestyle program that I will be able to apply for the rest of my life, not just a fad diet that is impossible to maintain long term. I love speaking with my coach each week for questions, motivation and support. Wish I had taken up the program months ago!!

Life changing - this program works – This program helped me shift the kilos I had gained through menopause and just couldn't lose, no matter what I did. It was simple, easy to build into my lifestyle, and most of all, effective. My clothes feel better, I have more energy and motivation, and I feel better than I have in years. Show details ·  1

Fantastic Program! – I am so grateful that I joined the 4% program. Before I joined the program I was in a toxic cycle of binge eating and self loathing. The 4% program is designed to lead you and support you through lifestyle changes as you are ready for them. I liked that I wasn't bombarded and overwhelmed with all of the changes at once. As with anything, the more… Read more ·  1

you put in, the more you will receive. If you are open to trying new ways of thinking and new ways of living, you will be rewarded. For me the rewards were weight loss but just as importantly a new way to consider my mind and body; how to fuel them and how to strengthen them. The highlight of the program for me was the once a week one-on-one coaching calls which gave me knowledge, support, and the accountability that I asked for.

Accountability is the key – I’m so glad I joined the 4% club - my weight had been creeping higher and higher over the previous 12 months. Since joining the program, I have lost 10kgs and am confident that I can maintain this going forward. My wonderful coach, Ray, kept me accountable the entire time and equipped me with the tools I needed to continue after the program was finished. I am now much more confident in myself so thank you, Ray, for supporting me all the way. Show details ·  1

Amazing weight loss program! Support ++++ – I've tried many weight loss programs over the years but none have been as effective long term as this one! The program is easy to understand and the support given is second to none! The program has given me the tools to become so much healthier and understand my relationship with food. If you have an off week there are no negative comments only support and encouragement. I can't recommend highly enough! Show details ·  1

Awesome support! – I have tried many diets and programs in my time. None of them are as supportive as this program. Lots of encouragement and no negative feedback. If you follow the program it will help you change the way you eat. Definitely worth a try! Show reply

Bot spam messaging – Pressure tactics, bot auto messages, only [Content Removed] work this hard for a sale. Avoid them. They play on a person's vulnerability. I've had my hormones etc all checked by a doctor, they are normal. I'm menopausal therefore insulin resistant. Eat a balanced diet and walk more (docs advice).

ALERT: High pressure sales tactics used to target vulnerable people – I enquired about the program from a Facebook sponsored post at which point I was sent an email with a number of videos to watch, neither which explained anything about the program itself, or what it actually was. I then tried to book in a time to speak to someone, and the only appointments available were limited (part of a sales tactic to rush you… Read more

to make contact and sign you up). I then received a call from someone who first asked me a number of very specific questions, so that they could use this as part of the hard sell they push on you at the end of the conversation - they tell you nothing about the program until the very end, at which stage they inform you (after wasting 45 min of your time) that the program costs $2000, and that the 'special offer' of $2000 for 'coaching' is a one time offer during the call, which is completely false as going by the reviews here, it applies to anyone who is given the same spiel. If you baulk at the price, they go back to the answers to the questions you have provided earlier to guilt you into signing up, and implying that if you do not, you will struggle with weight forever.

As a program aimed towards mostly women, they apply emotional manipulation and tactics to convince you to part with your money, namely:

- reading their selling lines from a previously developed script. This isn't about you, or your health, it's about getting you to sign up. - using previously provided personal and highly sensitive information to handle objections to you paying $2000, for a plan you have not seen. - offering a payment plan, which still costs you $2000, and trying to downplay the full cost - misleading the person by telling them they will receive a 'discount' if they sign up on the day, during the call. What's changed in the 5 min after the call that you cannot offer the same rate? (Seems like everyone else is getting the same 'discount') - not giving you any information upfront so you can decide whether you want to proceed - making appointment times very limited, giving the impression of exclusivity, when in fact, this is not the case, it's simply another 'coaching' scam - sending you an email following your appointment booking to inform that 'you will not be rebooked' if you happen to miss their call (should life get in the way) and they will not reschedule you

All of these are well known sales techniques designed to rope people in, which is extremely unfair if the person is vulnerable, already feeling low due to their weight, self esteem and poor wellbeing.

For anyone reading this, if a sales person is refusing to give you time to think about an important financial decision, especially to the tune of $2000 and without offering to send you additional information, please walk away.

EDITED TO ADD: their recent positive reviews over the last few months have been done ‘in collaboration’ meaning the members were incentivised or invited to leave a positive review. This means the company can solicit only those reviews favourable to them, once again, not entirely an accurate representation of what they’re really doing.

EDITED Jan 2024: Please do your due diligence before you sign up. See my latest response to them, months after I originally left a review. Also, the same company uses the name '4% Club' in some of their courses and marketing, but appear to be the same parent company.

FAKE interest – found on facebook, saw a lady showing interest in it, with a reply from the company. upon clicking on both company and lady asking for more information, they were the same people. She was trumping up FAKE INTEREST on the page. I made comment to this and was blocked immediately and had comments removed. Any company that needs to do both of these… Read more

things proves without a DOUBT that they ware fake and corrupt. Would not believe a single 5 star reviews from them.

[Content Removed] - Weight Loss Program for Woman Over 50 – This review is for another part of their company Weight Loss program for woman over 50. Clicked face book ad straight away got bombarded with DM, phone call orgainised for next day to discuss program. Sales MAN rung and straight away said to me you sound confused and like you don't know what you want.... hello over 50 hormonal blah blah… Read more

blah..... anyway long story short he said I was not good enough for the program because I refused to pay $73 a month for the privilege of being abused. Im sorry for the people that have fallen into this trap as I feel the whole concept would be detrimental to vulnerable woman, lucky I have had 27 years sales and marketing experience.

Complete waste of money – Brief synopsis for anyone who doesn't want to read the whole thing: Weekly feedback video (usually about 5min), $60-70 per week, 21 week contract, limited access to feedback in FB group, generic advice, FB videos on topics posted weekly, some advice on recipes and 'healthy' eating, you have to post your weigh in/measurements in a fb group each… Read more

week so everyone in the group can see. Might be good for a complete novice, if you know anything about nutrition don't waste your hard earned $2K. Not terrible, but not what I was promised and HUGELY overpriced.

Don't waste your time unless you come from a background of eating lots of junk and processed food. I found the program to be very generalised, and not a unique program for me like I was sold. There are multiple coaches and they give conflicting advice (i.e. one week - focus on more protein, the next week - you should consume less protein) . I started out feeling really excited, but after about 12 weeks with a lot of up and down progress, I began to get frustrated. I think this would be a great program for someone with no understanding of healthy eating, but as I told the salesman when I signed up, I do have a good understanding of this. I specifically asked if this would be tailored to me and my situation, and I was told yes. I asked if I would have my OWN coach, and was told yes. I said I didn't want this to be like every other generic program I've done, and I was told it would be tailored to me. None of this was true. I sent an email asking to cancel, but I read the contract again and saw it said this wasn't possible, so I emailed them with my frustrations and was emailed back with an encouragement to book a call to talk to a coach, which I admittedly didn't do. I contuinued on for a while, but eventually just stopped responding to the weekly weigh ins (which are public - everyone posts their weight and measurements in a facebook group). I then realised they had been charging me $10 per week more than my contract stated, and had to break down each payment so they would refund my overpayments and not overcharge me another fortnight's payment. They did refund me quickly. Customer service was usually quite good, and the coaches are very helpful. My issue is that I was lied to so I would sign up and was locked in to losing $2000 of my hard earned money. It's been 18 months and I'm still annoyed about this, so I felt I should add a review. I wish I still had the screen shots of the messenger conversation I had before I signed up, to prove all those lies were told. My advice to any frustrated overweight ladies out there, save your $2K and get a nutrition coach. Weigh all of your food, stay in a calorie deficit, lift weights, and don't be suckered in to false promises like I was. Good luck to you.

Total waste of money – I saw the Facebook ad that said they will develop a individual program. Unfortunately I signed up and as soon as my work and other commitments got in they way it was all too hard for them. There is NO individual program, it is just another fasting diet that doesn't work if you don't fit into thier neat little box. Customer service is a joke, they… Read more

do not call you when they say the Will, you can't even speak with a real person you have to book an online call back. A little difficult when you don't have phone service for 4 weeks at a time. Over priced and very poor. Stay away from this!

Focus on lifestyle change – I have struggled with maintaining my weight loss over many years. I am enjoying the program especially the support received both from coaches and other ladies going through a similar journey to mine. You are not expected to get all areas right in the first week but have support for maintaining good habits for a lifetime result, through weekly… Read more ·  1

lessons. There are lots of extra nutritional and lifestyle information available to you from all the different coaches and their professional expertise.

Beware Ask Questions And Don't Be Bullied Into It – This group popped up on Facebook, looked into it more as i was interested in what they were offering. I then decided not to go any further but i kept getting messages prompting me, I ended up with a call from a salesman, i told them what i was looking for and that i am gluten, dairy free. I didnt want to be weighing everyweek, submitting lifestyle… Read more

and progress reports ect as i have a busy lifestyle. Like Nicky i got railroaded into signing up, after 5 days and me not being able to do what they were asking (because of my busy lifestyle) i contacted them to cancel(like most contracts and in Covid times you would think there was a cooling off period) No they said and didnt really have any compasion in what i was saying, it was all about the money for them and now i am paying off $2000.00 for nothing. I am so mad and so broke. When i said it was all about the money they flatly refused and said they were there to help!!!! They also never post any dairy and gluten free meals or snacks. The second phone call they didnt even ask if i had any ailments. I got messed around when i tried to call someone, was given wrong links, everything was not managed very well and with no compasion. 4%Club i just want you to stop taking money out of my account, You have already taken $300 off me for nothing. And what a ridiculous amount to be charging people for what you are supposed to be doing jack crap.

Best decision ever – I was at my lowest point when I reached my highest weight in 15years when I came across this program. I've been on every type of weight loss program, you name it I've done it!!! Most times I was successful for a while but the harsh restrictions or endless counting carbs, points, measuring gms ect was just so obsessive or unsustainable that I… Read more ·  1

would chuck it in. Within a week of startng this program my energy levels where through the roof, enjoying a huge variety of fruits, vegetables and protei, to date I have lost 5kg in 7 weeks and have a much healthier and sustainable relationship with food. With the support of my personal coach Isabelle and the fabulous 4% Club team with weekly lessons and live feeds and Q&A s has been the best investment in my health I have ever done and my journey has just begun.

Excellent program, wonderful supporting coaches – I have gained so much more than weight loss, I’m armed with helpful strategies to make healthy meal choices, implement new habits & positive lifestyle changes. Being nearly 60 the programme has helped me in turning the old body clock back. It’s easy to follow with plenty of support from the coaches & the fb group of similar to yourself ladies. … Read more ·  1

Submitting lifestyle trackers keep you motivated to achieve the best results. Coach Isabelle is amazing and I’m thoroughly enjoying the experience.

Scam!!! – I initially found an ad on Facebook for women over 45 & going going through menopause. I was interested & booked a call with the salesman. I went into great detail about what I needed and now it has to work in with my busy lifestyle…he agreed to everything I said and then he told me the cost. I said I needed to speak to my husband first & he… Read more

absolutely railroaded me into signing up. I had a coach call (another sales pitch)..I then asked on the group when I was getting my personalised meal plan as promised & all I got was “book a call with one of the coaches” By now I was furious, I emailed, sent a message to an admin and all I kept getting was a generic message about sending in my tracking. I booked a call with another lady who defended this disgusting business, never apologised for the the way the initial call was handled & kept saying “moving forward”. I just want my damn money back & the direct debit to stop. Oh and I’m also muted from the pathetic group so they’re not honouring their part of this bullshit contract. My next step is the office of fair trading. Stay away from this scam ladies!

Best thing I have ever done – Thank-you so much 4% Club and your amazing mentors. I am finally on the right track to getting myself healthy and happy again. I believe being accountable to someone gives me more motivation to succeed, the encouragement I get from both my coach and our amazing likeminded Facebook group is priceless. I have been with 4% for 7 weeks, I have lost… Read more

an amazing 8.5k, 10+cm from my waist and 8+cm from my hips, my exercise is walking which is something I struggled to do because of knee pain prior to my weight loss. My personal coach with whom I speak to every Monday, gives me great feedback in relation to my weekly measurements and food diary, she looks through them and then sends me an interactive video where we can pinpoint any concerns I may have. I now have a much better understanding on how food works with my body and the proof of that is with my measurements. I am loving my new lifestyle thanks to this group.

Not just a weight loss program! – I was sceptical about signing up and not sure it would work for me. I have gained much more than just weight loss. I have learnt the value of eating well, meal prepping and honestly - I’ve never eaten so much and lost weight! I never want to go back to my old eating habits. I feel fitter, healthier, have more energy and feel younger (I’m 55) I… Read more ·  1

definitely needed the support of this group to get me through and others on the program have been so supportive and encouraging. I have learnt to love myself again. Thanks to all the coaches without whom I would have given up!

The most amazing programme – I chose this programme as it was fit for purpose post menopause for weight loss and energy rejuvenation and overall health improvement. I lost 22 kgs and have raised my energy levels improved my sleep patterns and taken charge of my overall health. The support was amazing and the education was life changing. So simple to apply in your everyday life and a few little tweaks and I got there with results every week !! Highly recommend to all !

This program works for me – I love that I can eat the foods I choose and I'm not locked into any set menu, my coach is fantastic, and very supportive. It's teaching me life skills. Show reply

Terrible - I was close to being hospitalised – If you have pre-existing health issues, this could be dangerous for you. They could not deliver on their promises to personalise this system or to increase my energy levels. They suggested that I constantly reduce my complex carb and fat/oil intake to the point where I was dealing with cramping muscles every time I moved. Getting a refund is… Read more

proving to be near impossible. Promises of contacting me by phone at a time we agreed on to discuss this are just not happening. I cannot contact them as there is no phone number supplied. My next step will be the Ombudsman & Fair Trading.

Be careful – My experience with this was fairly unpleasant. A lot of money, for not much back. Make sure they give you an email address to submit your trackers, straightaway, if you want feedback. If you can google, you can get all of what's offered here. Food consists of salads, nuts, vegies, yogurts , a tonne of meat. I just saved you a grand. You're welcome.

Total Waste of Money – I was conned into joining this 'club'. I was not told that it is basically a facebook group. Very impersonal and almost impossible to speak to anyone. No phone number available to contact. I tried to cancel the membership after speaking with my doctor but was told i could not. Total waste of money. I was also told when i signed up that i would be… Read more

able to access the information permanently/forever however was told today that it is not correct. High pressure to join from salesman who knows how to spot the vulnerable person. Absolutely do not recommend. I only found out about the other bad reviews once i joined as they use a different name to reel you in. I am still getting messages on messenger trying to get me to join again! Absolutely ridiculous!!

Happy I found this program – The 4% Club has really helped me kick start my health journey again. I have an under active thyroid, chronic fatigue and other hormone issues which has made losing weight a lot more difficult than in the past, especially now I’m in my late forties.

habits, so weight loss becomes less of a chore and more of a lifestyle. I worked with Coach Evelyn who was amazingly supportive, patient, knowledgeable, provided really good advice and great to chat with every week. So far I’ve lost 13kg, including 13cm off my waist and 14cm off my hips and know what works for me to keep losing. If you start with an open mind and are willing to listen to advice, it’ll work for you too.
