1990 - The Development of IntaShape

Please read My Background Page first.

The second job interview I had took place in the summer of 1990. The first was back with the army in 1967! The job was to set up and run a brand new local authority gym or fitness studio as they were called in those days. I was delighted to be offered the job and relished the chance to start another career outside the military. I had a wonderful time running the Pulse Fitness gym in Tunbridge Wells but after five years decided that it was time to focus entirely on weight management. Running a successful gym took time and effort and I now wanted to put all my energy into weight management.

Six Week Food & Activity Diary with two weeks showing

So I set up my own personal training company and continued to use the food and activity diary to monitor eating and activity levels that I had been using with my personal clients at the Tunbridge Wells gym. This is still used by many personal trainers. Unfortunately, I found that completing a food and activity diary was very time consuming for my clients, but it did work. Surely, there was a better way for people to record their lifestyle each day without having to write everything down? The answer was no. So I set about developing a new, better way to do this and so the IntaShape lifestyle score card was born. Initially this was a four week plan card but I soon changed this to a six week plan.

The score card was an easy method where my clients could record their lifestyle in just a few seconds each day. This really did catch on and within just a few years I had nearly 1,000 personal clients on my books and all getting results using their six week score cards. The next step was to take it into the wider world and train other fitness professionals to be able to deliver the programme to members in their gyms

IntaShape Plan in Black Binder with Score Card inside & Audio-Cassette

This meant giving them the tools to be able to pass on the IntaShape message so that their members could fully understand how the plan works. So the IntaShape plan was put into a nice little binder with a score card that could also fit in the binder and an audio cassette. Over the next few years the programme was continually being refined by me based on the feedback from people on the plan.

Five4 Life Family Wellness Plan

Then, through a friend, a link was made with Sure Start in the North West of England. Sure Start at that time was an organisation that helped families from a lower income background. I was asked to put together a different version and something for children and so I created the Five4Life Family Wellness Plan that helped nearly 600 families in the Birkenhead area.

IntaShape Book, DVD, Score Card & Quick Start Guide

The next step had to be the DVD and the book which was printed in 2007. Finally, came the web version complete with my 42 day motivational programme, audio-visual IntaShape presentations and of course the complete plan on the IntaShape website.

The IntaShape Website

I know of no other weight loss programme in this country or anywhere else that comes near the IntaShape plan. IntaShape is simply light years ahead of anything else in this field. The score card only takes a few seconds each day to record. The IntaShape presentations will empower you more than any diet could ever hope to. The motivational programme will provide you with daily inspiration. And you will know exactly what you have to do to get a great result regardless of your age or fitness levels. It has taken 14 years to develop and I still use my score card to get me focused and to stay in great shape.

My promise to you is that once you have tried the IntaShape way for yourself, you too, will become a believer. Eddie Bojtler
