Hey I just came across your post as I searched for ballet - hoping to find some adult classes!! Are you a dancer? Would you by any chance know of adult classes in Abu Dhabi? Sorry Im asking as you have mentioned these in your post!
I have a trainer who I always recommend but she doesn't work with these methods - She does get results though! Happy to pass on her details if you are still in AD and still looking for someone :) xx
I started working with a trainer here around 2 years ago and she changed my body completely. She's a nutritionist and a personal trainer and for the first time I felt like I could enjoy food and still get results. I never counted calories as like the OP it was something I just never wanted to do. She's with a company called Lifestyle now I think they're on Facebook but her number was 0566892032 if you want to try her out - Her names Arlene.
It can be frustrating so I know what you're going through but you don't need to over think it once you know what you're doing and she teaches you. I hope you find the solution that works for you xxx
