Used Myworkout GO and Reversed His Type 2 Diabetes
Kent Bruland (46) had always enjoyed hiking and strength training. Then everyday life, inactivity, and unhealthy habits caught up with him. His health changed so dramatically that he had to find a way back.
The low point
Almost blind from diabetes
Just a few years ago, Kent faced a serious health crisis. His type 2 diabetes caused significant vision impairment and left him almost blind. He felt powerless, and he did not know where to start if he wanted to take control of his health again.
Kent still wanted the life he recognized: walks, time outside, and enough energy for his wife and two children.
At my worst, my wife and children could outrun me in the blink of an eye.
Kent tried several fitness apps, but none gave him the structure or progress feedback he needed. He felt lost in a jungle of apps without guidance.
The turning point
His colleagues made the first step easier
Kent's employer, Frydenbø Bil, announced an activity competition for all employees. Kent decided to try. Together with colleagues, he collected training points and competed in teams against other teams in the company.
He removed the excuses one by one. He bought a treadmill for home, started tracking his time on his favorite hike in Sotra, and let Myworkout GO show him whether the work was actually paying off.
The change
From depression to more energy
The joy of doing this with colleagues became important. With Myworkout GO, Kent did not feel like he was training alone. He could compete with others, compete with himself, and see concrete feedback on his progress.
The first session was hard. But the feedback made it easier to continue, and the change came quickly.
The app gives me concrete feedback on my progress, and it works.
Kent no longer looked like the same person to customers at work.
His measured fitness age changed dramatically through consistent training.
His doctor declared him healthy from type 2 diabetes.
A new everyday life
The most important result was how life felt
Kent is no longer recognized by customers at work. He has lost 20 kg and looks completely changed, but the biggest difference is how he feels. His sight is back, the depression and powerlessness are gone, and he has the energy he needs for what he wants to do and what his children need from him.
Life is better, and I finally have the energy I need.
