While on a recent visit to Malta, SCOTT HARRISON, founder of The Six Pack Revolution, met up with past and present Maltese participants and sat down with our own DUNCAN BARRY to answer a few questions.

The Six Pack Revolution is an online exercise, nutrition and personal development programme. The 90-day programme gives a daily exercise and menu plan with simple, delicious recipes to follow alongside exciting exercise challenges. An online community of 100 participants in each Facebook group supports each other and coaches guide and motivate participants to reach the finish line and achieve their desired result.

Malta seems to have been taken over by the Six Pack Revolution, from 1 participant in May 2018 to 130+ in January 2019 and over 68 participants in March 2019. What is the reason for this overwhelming response?

I can put this down to the same reason The Six Pack Revolution has grown all over the world which began with my very own mind-blowing transformation. This is a programme that truly works and therefore, if you stick to the plan, the results are yours.

The difference with SPR to any other programme is that we not only provide you with delicious recipes that are easy to prepare; the food is designed in a way to get you results not just physically but also mentally. The way we deliver the exciting exercise challenges, plus the consistent drip feeding of positive mentality and personal development, is life-changing in every area, not only your body and mind. We also coach, motivate and hold your hand through the whole process, supporting you every day, every step of the way.

The May wave has just kicked off. Has the response from the Maltese been as overwhelming as that of previous waves?

Yes, it has been amazing and I’m truly overwhelmed how Malta has taken myself, my team and The Six Pack Revolution into their hearts.

Have you had the same response in other countries apart from the UK?

No other single country has quite responded like Malta ....yet!

90 days seems impossible to get that ‘dream body’, would you say that it is a tough challenge to accomplish in just 90 days for these participants?

Well that is why this programme is taking over the world. I have found a way to get people the most amazing results in body and mind in a short time span. As you can see from the results of thousands of participants, it is very possible and we are achieving it. Everyone that follows the plan to the full, from start to finish, achieves way beyond anything they could have ever thought they would when they began... everyone!

Is the major part of the plan based on healthy eating?

Yes, it is a big part of the programme. As the saying goes, ‘you are what you eat’; well never a truer word has been spoken and it is delicious!

Your plan speaks about boosting serotonin, which is a chemical that gives us that feel-good factor. Since some of us lack serotonin, is this plan also ideal for those suffering from anxiety, depression or those who just simply over-think things?

Yes, 100%. The Six Pack Revolution is an all-encompassing programme to improve every area of your life and always remember your mind is an important part of your body, therefore when you fuel your body correctly with great nutrition, you also instantly nourish the mind. When your mind and body are strong, creating the perfect partnership, you soon learn to overcome the mental obstacles of life and realise everything is possible! This is why all over the world people say ‘it is so much more than a six pack’.

How’s the best way to stay focused on a fitness goal and to stay consistent? What should one keep in mind not to stir away from the goal?

The best way to achieve any goal is to understand that for anything worth having, you will have to work for it. Be fully aware that there will be many obstacles along the way, yet switch your mentality from the offset that you are going to enjoy those challenges and learn from every single one. The next thing is to make a decision that nothing is going to throw you off-track, no matter what comes your way.

Many say that to partner up with someone is good and I would tend to agree but I do not feel it’s necessary. Many book themselves in for a photo shoot, make a promise to someone or have even come across participants who bet whether or not they will finish the programme. All these are good ideas but not necessary: the team at The Six Pack Revolution does its best to carry you to the finish line. It’s important that when the obstacle seems too high to get over, this is when you should lift your heart, your chin and your feet and start climbing.

Has your meal plan got some comfort food included and something for sweet tooth enthusiasts?

Yes of course. Contrary to the belief that you have to starve yourself to achieve outstanding results, on The Six Pack Revolution most people eat more than they have ever done before and that includes many sweet things too like pancakes, smoothies, chocolate porridge, milkshakes, fruit and waffles and much more.

Your physical fitness coaches are virtual coaches? Does a lack of physical presence of a coach to motivate your clients make it any harder for participants?

No, it is quite the opposite and hundreds of participants tell me that they have had personal trainers in the past and when they are with them for that hour or so, they do as they are told and nothing else until they see them the next time round.. Whereas with The Six Pack Revolution, participants say that we are in their head 24/7 and they feel motivated like never before. The constant support and encouragement from all their fellow team members in the group also holds everyone accountable and feeling encouraged at every step.

What is the difference between the Signature, Intensive and Xtreme Plans? And what makes your plan stand out from the rest of plans out there at the moment?

The Signature programme is our original system where if you have fat to lose, this will obliterate it faster than any other healthy way possible. The Intensive programme is for those people who have little fat to lose and want to increase their strength, build lean muscle mass and get rid of that last tiny bit of fat. The Xtreme programme is for those who already have a decent level of strength, no fat to lose and wish to gain more size, shape and definition.

The reason The Six Pack Revolution stands out from any other programme in the world is this: if you can have a good nutrition plan and you can have a good exercise plan but you last a week or two which most can’t even do, then you will not succeed in what you set out to achieve. At The Six Pack Revolution we have a unique way of engaging you, keeping you focused and holding your hand all the way to the finish line, by keeping the programme exciting, constantly evolving, improving and of course supporting you all day, every day, to make sure you do not fall back.

What are your next plans? I hear an SPR Juniors is on the cards in the UK? Do you think it is something that could also be introduced locally?

Yes, I am very proud to announce that SPR Juniors has just been launched for schools to include in their curriculum this September in the UK and possibly Malta.. It is a primary school fitness initiative that provides staff with four terms of video resources for lessons, two terms of written resources, mindfulness and yoga content as well as a bi-monthly blog for parents encouraging them to be more present in the life of their children.

This initiative is also aimed at helping parents take on a positive outlook for the whole family, educating them on how to feed the family healthy meals on a budget, to engage in activities outside school, during school holidays, among other examples. We aim to approach the huge problem of obesity and mental illness from an early age hoping to tackle these issues before they rear their ugly heads and hope to create a generation of children that grow up happy, confident, considerate and of course Strong, Powerful and Resilient (SPR).

The Six Pack Revolution book will also be out later this year and I’m also creating a complete new SPR programme in addition to the current ones so watch this space.
