Shaun, Chris, Colby & Euan - heroic members of "Team Spartan" who trained for the challenge of trekking 100km/62miles In the Oxfam Trek for charity.

"Anthony

. . . Oxfam had the awards night earlier in the week and I thought you might like to know that team Spartan raised roughly $1,500, and all up everyone raised roughly $700,000 for the charity. Although we did enter the event for the personal challenge, I think its good to know we contributed to a worthwhile cause such as this.

I would also like to thank you for such a great program. I have been reasonably fit for the last few years, but never really got anywhere. Since becoming a Spartan, I have been able to have access to a great motivational group, some great training information and most importantly, the best diet information which I stick to religiously.

With all this knowledge behind me you may be happy to know I will be competing in the Melbourne Marathon on October 12th hopefully in a time between 3 - 3.5 hours. I will let you know how I go.

Thanks again Anthony, and I have to say, reading the Spartan Health Regime is a life changing experience, definitely one for the better. Its even better to know we have someone like you taking an active interest in what we are doing. Talk to you later."

Chris O'Driscoll

"Your program helped me lose 5 inches off my waist. Also on your program I lost 10kgs of fat and have gained 3kgs of muscle all in only 4 months. . . . this program is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Thankyou for your wonderful gift of health and well being."

Nathan Anderson

Richard Bailey

"After years on the diets and training methods in the usual bodybuilding – steroid using!- magazines I was 130kgs at 30% bodyfat. Strong in my gym lifts but not in the real world. I have now lost 5kgs of fat in 4 weeks in the Spartan Lifestyle and feel superstrong. I can now jog for an hour straight – not bad for someone who had chronic asthma at 16!! Keep spreading the good word."

Jason Lord

"I did the Rapid Fat Loss part first for about 2 weeks and lost most of my bodyfat. I had about 6 kgs of bodyfat and in the 2 weeks I lost 4 ½ kgs. Now I have put that back on in muscle following the Spartan diet and muscle gaining techniques. Overall I recommend everyone should at least get the pack and read it and apply at least some of the principles."

Rodney Read

"After six weeks of applying some of the basic principals of the Spartan Health Regime I feel great. I’ve lost 5 kgs and regained vitality and belief in myself that years of battling with ‘moderate’ programs had destroyed."

Sue Trewhella

"Getting this program is one of the best things I have ever done. Despite being in good shape for most of my life due to a childhood of intense swimming training, I had many false ideas on fitness and absolutely no idea about proper dieting and nutrition thus really limiting my potential in these areas and life.

When I first read Anthony’s ad for the Spartan Health Regime it just made so much sense. I was violating the most basic natural laws in trying to run my body and going against actions that man had followed for ages to live healthily and happy lives. I was literally busting to get my hands on this information and took the needed actions to obtain it immediately despite the fact I couldn’t really afford it at that very moment.

Since then I have never looked back. There is so much to offer in this program and you have the choice to go all the way and follow it completely like me and the many others who have taken the program on as a way of life in many ways or just take several points and integrate them into your current lifestyle. Either way you will begin living an improved life. One you’ll enjoy that much more.

After several months of using the program and learning more every week I can assure you it is worth it. I have personally experienced increased energy and stamina, a much healthier and cold resistant body and improved physique. All above the limit I would have thought I could reach – and I know this is just the beginning! If you Thanks Anthony for the amazing program"

Stephen Georgulis

"To put in simply (as a Spartan would) the Spartan Health Regime is the best investment I have ever made. So if you are after ultimate health, strength and conditioning it’s all in the Spartan Health Regime. Thanks Anthony."

Guy Collins

"The Spartan Health Regime is for people who are serious about Health and Strength. This program is not for wannabe’s, pussies or people who want to bulls%$t themselves. If you are serious about health/strength the SHR will help, guide, inspire and educate you."

John Stead

"Anthony I received your program Some months ago but my commitments were such I've put off starting on your program until now as I saw this was going to be a total life style change, and I wanted to put in a wholehearted effort. So as it is early days for me I cant' give you any positive feedback except to say I haven’t been this confident of a program working for me before. I am 61 years young and was still playing and coaching AFL football until I was 40 I played competitive squash until 48 and was a sprinter in my younger days I hope this is some help to you and I be in touch further down the track."

Peter Sherry

"Forget the quick and easy ways to get fit and healthy, they never worked anyway!! Anthony's program is hard work, as anything worthwhile in life will be, but if you can stick to it you will reap the benefits. You will also learn enough to make an informed critical decision of most of the health/nutritional claims you hear being advertised."   

Ashley Cahif

"I invested in your program about 18months ago and have read it dozens of times. Each time getting something new from it. I have been training martial arts for near on 6 years and have had some difficulty in the past. For about a year I was extremely run down and quite ill after an emotional breakup with a long term girlfriend. It was the Spartan Health Regime that encouraged me to pull my head out of my ass and get on with building a better life, body, self-esteem and general well-being. I have achieved this.

I have been actively competing in the ISKA open martial arts tournaments 2001 and achieved a high level of success. With several placing including 4 firsts, I am currently ranked number one in the intermediate division Victoria. The Spartan way of life has helped me achieve this. I am not a large person by any measure.....6'2" 78kg but what there is of me is hard, active and useful.

Last week at gym, I had an argument with a local body building muscle head. He has used steroids substantially and is of enormous stature. At the time he was doing bicep curl...I was on the weight rack next to him and noticed him grunting and moaning while lifting a significant weight. He noticed that I was lifting the same weight with apparently less effort...(55kg bicep curl). He asked me if I wanted to achieve size increase and I answered no. The weight I am is excellent for Karate and Kickboxing and I find using the concepts in the Spartan Regime I can increase strength through the roof while maintaining what is important to me. My question to Mr Flex was "How much of your muscle and size is actually useful? Can you even do a chin up?"....no! He could not believe that someone my size could exercise with such high weights.

Working crowd control I have also found forearm strength training to be exceptionally useful. Imagine their surprise when someone of my stature escorts someone twice my size by way of arm bar or lock, with little effort and energy. Your program is an eye-opening at the least. Sticking to it is difficult but the 'road less travelled' has incredible opportunities and the sense of achievement outweighs any negativity from Western society. Yours with fighting spirit."

Andrew Mackenzie

"The Spartan Health Regime promotes an ideal based on old-time, even ancient, principles. A back to basics fitness antidote to modern living. Keep up the good work!"   

Tony Earls

"When I originally got this program I did the same thing I did with every other diet program before - read it once and let it collect the dust with other books on diet/exercise I had. Then, one day I walked out of the shower and had a good look at my oversized gut. I had a choice – do nothing and keep thinking of excuses or do something and starting feeling great again. I used the Spartan Health regime as a guide and I never looked back. I have followed the program 80 % of the time and feel great and the gut is "melting" away... Few more months and for the first time I’ll be looking at a six-pack."

"My main sport is surf boat rowing and your program has been a great benefit to me. The Spartan Health Regime is awesome, loads of useful information to get your body into shape physically and mentally. If you are prepared to invest time into your diet and a lot of hard training u will get great results. Thanks Anthony"   

Andrew Smalley

"It is simply the BEST fitness regime on the market. If you want results buy this regime."

E. Tuco

"The simple routines within the regime have been some of the most effective results I have ever achieved in terms of strength and recovery. Fewer exercises, worked harder, less is definitely more, the regime shows you how"    

Steven Downes

"Anthony, your program is unique, there is definitely nothing like it on the market today. The results I’ve had in fat loss and muscle definition are fantastic. Thanks for the chance to excel."

Albert Bertoldi

"The Spartan program is the only program (diet part) that I have been able to stick to for any length of time, it may not always be easy but the results are worth the effort. One of the best things about this program is the principle "except what is useful and reject what is not". Unlike other programs that just want you to believe them without question."      

Phillip Hilton

"A quick note. Your program, whilst hard to apply after the life style that I have been used to for the past 25 years, has helped me incredibly. I was able to recognize the real problem areas in my diet, exercise (or lack thereof) needs and the most effective ways to build strength that is actually worthwhile, Thanks Anthony."  

Anthony Blair

"Strength & health are the most important parts of the Spartan Health Regime. When you train for strength & are healthy the rest will fall into place, You'll become leaner, feel great, are more self confident & just look great. For me nothing feels better than seeing someone twice my size "in muscles" & out lifting them.

The Spartan Health Regime is a great foundation, "its more like a house you can keep adding to" for any sport & the general health benefits are worth buying it. I have only found one thing bad about it, once you've done it & felt the rewards... there’s no turning back. the more I learn about health & fitness, the more I’m amazed at how good your program is."

"I received my copy of the Limited Collectors 1st Edition and started reading it that night and found all of the information inside to be honest with a no bullshit approach, by the next day I was eager to start my new life style and completely changed my eating habits to follow the Spartan Health Regime. Within days I could feel my body changing and I was feeling better, fitter and felt like I had an edge on life. My weights increased, I became leaner (so much leaner that I am at the same body fat % now as I was the day I competed at my first bodybuilding competition). I am one of those guys that are tall and thin but since using the Spartan Health Regime I have gained weight lost fat and I have noticed that I receive complements on how good I look now. If any one is looking for an easy way to lose fat or gain weight they wont find it as it does not exist, the only way is the Spartan way. Thanks Anthony"

Brett O'Neill

"I have incorporated the exercise in your program into my training and increased my strength and endurance far beyond my previous levels. Its diet information has given me a new perspective on healthy eating."   

 Paul Beale

"I am a 45-year-old Stunt Co-Ordinator/Performer who was just cruising along being good at my job and becoming more comfortable with the more passive job supervising stunts instead of doing them. I looked around one day and realised I had put on about 30 Kgs and had lost most of my condition. (I came across Spartan Health Regime at about the same time.) After about 6 months I am 15 Kgs lighter. But most importantly my mental conditioning has been aroused again and I'm getting back to that hard Stuntie I was when I was 20. Thanks to your Regime I feel fantastic and have remembered what it is like to be focused again. Thanks heaps."   

Chris Anderson

"Anthony, I cannot say in words how much your Regime has helped me build my confidence and strength since stopping training Karate due to serious injury and study. I’m 17, doing my final year in school, and I’ve been slowly implementing various principles from your Regime. With some true determination and hard work, like you said, there are many rewards to be had. Your strong stance on a diet that is as pure as possible motivated me to try it, and I’ve never looked back at any mass produced, dead crap, ever. Thanks!"     

Nick Chester

"This program has changed my life in so many ways I cannot hope to write them all here. As someone with significant study burden, it allows me to avoid the risks of 'pencil neck' syndrome like so many colleagues. The dieting principles have increased my energy levels in amazing proportions, as well as mental focus (which is definitely noticeable to me). The only problem is that I now want to scrap my degree and take up the Ultimate Fighting Challenge!!!"      

Caine White

"The Spartan Health Regime is the most comprehensive and informative health/lifestyle/training manual I have ever read. Best wishes."

Colin Ferguson

"I found this Health Regime very important to my current way of thinking and being. The straight edge and passionately written Regime make it a very motivating Regime to follow. I would recommend this to anyone who isn't afraid of starting on the path to achieving their highest goals and outcomes. Thankyou..."

Pete Blake

"After purchasing the Spartan Health Regime I realized that I had never before had access to so much information in one source. Previously I had read several books that seemed to waffle on about the same thing for a huge number of pages...Not so in the Spartan Regime, everything is in it's no bullshit stage, just plain and simple information that everyone can put into action. . . . . .Remember, even if you only use a couple of principles to start off with like myself you have an information source that will last your whole life. Good luck."

Tommy Bergstrom

"Ever since I started on the Spartan Health Regime in July 2001, I have lost most of the unnecessary fat. I look more macular and symmetrical. I now look at least seven years younger and this has been noticed by my wife and family. I am full of energy as a result of the Spartan diet and this has helped in other aspects of my life i.e. work. I have tried other programs which have not really worked as well as this one. I am also impressed with Anthonys no nonsense style of writing and he gets straight to the point and is always willing to help with your queries. If you want to achieve your goals, this is THE REAL DEAL!"

Joe Scoulou

"I have only been partly following the food and dieting section of the Spartan manual as well as my twice a week football training. After 2 weeks I had lost 5kgs and I steadily lost weight after that which nearly completely got rid of my flabby gut."

Morgan MacLachlan

"I am 32yrs of age and have been weightlifting since age 13. I am a mesomorph in bodytype and therefore gain muscle very easily, but when complacent, also put on bodyfat very easily as well. I have always endeavored to eat what is considered to be a goof diet but a stubborn layer of fat always plagued me. I therefore have always looked large and muscular but still ‘bulky’ without the definition of being lean.

I have always tended to use cycling and swimming for cardio work as my knees would always ache constantly if I attempted to do regular running.

I am a seeker of truth about all things in life so your advertisement really caught my eye. Upon purchase of the program, I had been out of regular training for 12 months and was overweight and out of shape. I loved every page of the manual and found it to be very inspiring. I was especially stunned to learn the truth about nutrition and was angry to be deceived by big business in regard to nutrition.

I decided to apply the entire program to see if it was true immediately. I am now in my fourth month and have never felt better in my life! I have lost 3-4 inches off my waist. I have NEVER been leaner. I am gaining muscle faster than ever. My energy levels have gone through the roof, I feel so light and agile. I feel better with less sleep.

Most importantly, you are right on the money with your nutritional information. With a little apprehension I started running again and guess what? My knees are now totally pain free with a full range of movement! I now love running. I can only attribute the healing of my knees to having such a high degree of quality nutrients flowing through my body.

The program has supplied me with a clear path to follow and is the best information I have ever read on training and nutrition. It is worth far more that I paid for it! Thankyou."

Paul Collins

"Anthony your program makes perfect sense and upon implementing I am noticing some fantastic improvements. The basic eating is certainly the way to get that real cut and hard feel . . . combined with the running at various intensities and intervals and the core strength training is giving me the huge boost I was struggling to find with the more conventional and trendy programs. Great work, great lifestyle and fantastic role-modelling of the hard men from years gone by."

"Great Information. I’m very happy, it’s the sort of training and ideas that have been lost in our society. I’m glad there is a Spartan Health Regime, it’s right up my alley. Thanks."

Daniel Swain

"I call your information the ultimate health BIBLE. It gives you anything you want, (i.e. fatloss, strength gain) by easy to follow step by step rules and guidelines, no matter what fitness level or state you are in. It really truly has opened my mind."

Will Munro

"Wow! That’s all I can say about this program. I was blown away. The manual not only gives you the information you need to transform yourself but also the inspiration. Put it this way . . . you may go to the gym, eat ‘healthy’, take supplements but you don’t realise how much you are doing wrong until you read this book. Get it. It’s truly unique. It’ll change your life . . . . by lengthening it!!"

Daniel Winstanley

"Best move I ever did. There is no turning back now."

Adam Mezger

"When I first got the Spartan program, one of my brothers was a bit skeptical, but to me it made sense. I was heavily into strength work before it, so I was often feeling tired. But then I put the powerful Spartan principles to use. I followed the diet 100%. Boy, did it pay off. For example a week and a half after eating the Spartan way, I went for a run that was suppose to only last 20mins. I felt so good that I went a good 40mins non-stop and felt great afterwards. The best way to contribute to your overall health, strength, fitness and even toughness levels is to take the program seriously."

Derek Clauson

"I am sure you have all read about the in individual results, but the only thing I can add is that my entire family have noticed how much I have improved. Now they may have been the most conventional people around, but they have changed their lifestyle as well because they have seen the living proof that it works."

John Srsen

"I have been looking for and trying out various health regimes over the past couple of years with minimal results. This is the first one I have found that is written clearly, makes sense and actually works, whether you are looking for general health and fitness or a rock hard build. Worth every cent!"

Chris O’Driscoll

"Over the years my partner and I have tried many different diets including vegetarianism for 6 years. We always reverted back to a normal Western diet because of lack of results health wise. Our work is very physically and mentally demanding as well. We have been 90% following the Spartan diet principles for six weeks and are gradually incorporating the training principles. We are experiencing the following benefits:

• No more joint pains in thumbs and hands

• More endurance/stamina

• Generally happier mood wise

• Bounce back after work a lot quicker

• More motivated generally

• Sleeping more soundly

We love the Spartan diet and I mean LOVE it. We no longer crave junk food/sugar etc. and we don’t feel deprived in any way. We love all the food and thoroughly enjoy our meals. Thank you Anthony for all the time and effort you have put into your research and for going against the grain and finding the true path to health. We know this diet will build unparalleled health and strength."

Eskarla&Zondar Il’Rah

"Anyone who is serious about their fitness and health needs a copy of the Spartan Health Regime. Since I have started incorporating the information read in Spartan, both nutritional and gym work, I have experienced huge improvements both in muscle gain and health wise. It is a constant reference for me as a resource and for inspiration."

"This should be taught in schools. Everybody should have these health and training secrets. Anyone who doesn’t have this information has no idea what they’re missing out on."

Terry Matthews

"There are a million different workout and fitness guides you can buy. Some work better than others. The best comment I can make about SPARTAN HEALTH GUIDE is that as well as helping you build muscle, tone up, and lose fat if you follow it correctly you will NOT get sick. In the year I have been following it I have gotten sick once - and this was from food poisoning on a night out when I wasn't following the guide!!! This has included living in a house with 3 other people who have been bed ridden by flu and sickness, and working in a crowded office place full of constantly sick people. The 'back-to-basics' approach of the SPARTAN guide allows you to look at all forms of training from a new perspective and will allow you to make better decisions on how, what, and why you train."   

Steve Brown

"Simply the most practical, common sense training and diet advice there is out there. The truths are in the results. No hype, no bull, it just works."

Ben Kong

"I heard about the program at the end of 4yrs of Uni. I was fat, lazy and in very poor health (almost constant blocked nose from colds & allergies). It took me a while to really adopt the program because it is so hard; but it tells you the truth and the results are real. I’m healthier than ever after a short time using the Spartan principles"

Kevin Morton

"Since doing the Spartan Regime and diet my bodyfat has dropped to 13% and is still falling. My strength and endurance has greatly increased."

Jovan Vlajsavljevich

"The Spartan Health Regime has given me more energy during the day. I feel energized when I wake not tired like before and my body seems to be working effortlessly, efficiently the way it should. I lost bodyfat in little time, which was just from diet alone! . . . . . Using Spartan visualization is a great motivator also. Thanks for designing the Regime!"

Loenzo Occhipinti

"It works! It is very hard work – brutal – but that’s good!!! The sense of achievement is fantastic. I am now very strong, very healthy and a constant source of wonder to anyone who sees me eating or training. I feel at an advantage to all non-Spartans and any challenge I attack with vigour and relish. It’s a good lifestyle."

Jason Baker

"A revelation – my prayers have been answered."

Gray Nuttall

"Since starting the Spartan Health Regime, I’ve been literally buzzing with energy! My martial skill has taken off, training’s not nearly as tiring or painful as it was in my early twenties."

Colby Karrer
