TeamRH

[flibble123]

I’ll be back with all the tea once I can distance myself a bit. Needless to say, I have extreme concerns and after speaking to qualified nutritionists, have been proven right.

Well said. It baffles me that 50,000 people can’t see through him. I know most of us were duped at the beginning but his horrible streak is so obvious now. Surely people can see that losing so many staff/ affiliates is an alarm bell and getting rid of the calorie clubs was clearly just so he had total control.

Over 250k followers, not just their 50k members. People get blinded by the fact calorie counting is the truth, so they associate them with honesty, and second that with Rachel smiling, surely they are both angels? Then you look at the absolute path of destruction/enemies they have made, that is when people need to ask questions, are they really nice people?

The walkie talkie is the biggest load of bollix.

I used to really like TeamRH and followed them for about a year.

However it became more and more of an irritant when it was clear Richie has no joy in his life at all.

My final read of them was a few weeks back when he posted something about "how to treat your woman". It was all about Rachael and her weight journey etc.
To me so many red flags were popping up with relation to coercive control that I could barely finish reading it.

From that point I blocked them but I do worry for Rachael as I think she's in an abusive relationship without knowing it.

I personally have no doubt it is an awful relationship, however I also think Rachael is not as perfect as she seems.

So I joined team rh in February
Followed it for a couple weeks
Tried to keep up with their social media pages
Then in the middle of covid realised I hadn’t been using it and find it utterly useless
Contacted them to cancel ...Ofcourse they went on about this 12 month contract
I’ve cancelled my direct debit
And ever since been getting threatening emails from Ashbourne
I did not physically sign a contract so not sure what leg they have to stand on
I told them I could no longer afford it and I wasn’t using any of their services
The constant emails is just dragging me down!

That’s awful, I think even less of them now, they should be ashamed of themselves. Slagging of slimming clubs for taking a fiver a week when they’re doing much worse to people! Sorry they’re hassling you.

 

[Curio]

I think you only get coaching if you’re perfectly tracking? If you’re doing that you probably aren’t the person that needs help so much anyway, ruling out the majority of their members.

 

[Droosie123]

Still don’t see it. You buy something that says 12 months contract then you are committing to that for 12 months. You can’t act butthurt when debt collectors come.

I joined before the new T&C stuff applied.

While you are not wrong about the contract stuff there is another part to it' all which says the contract has to be fulfilled and in many cases it isn't and people are being abused online when they struggle.

Even SW which Richie hates has a money back guarantee if you find the system doesn't work for you,.

Given that this year many people have lost jobs and are struggling to pay their rent/mortgage and feed their families it's not surprising that some will have cancelled direct debits. All indications are that even when people talk to Richie about issues he is not helpful.

Glad my contract was just short term.

I've noticed he's changed his tune on there too. He was very aggressive with the comebacks but seems to be less so at the moment. It's all a load of bollocks we know the real him!

His mask has slipped on many ocassions, it is just crazy how people can't see through him and the ''lovely'' Rachael.


My friend was having her emails, messages etc ignored, no replies, soon as she gave them a 1 star on trustpilot they came running with a refund. They challenge every 1 star review, to the degree of them making people have to send their Team RH receipts etc to trustpilot. People can't be bothered to go through all the rigmorale of that and just lose their own opinion and 1 star rating of the place. Essentially they are big bullies in my opinion, how can their 250k followers not see this? Mind boggles lol

I saw the post earlier this week about counting calories in lip balm etc and it set off major alarm bells. I had an ED when I was in my teens (before social media had taken off, thank god) but I used to go on loads of ProAna/Thinspo websites and they always said about calories in lip balm. He needs to be careful, although I doubt they’d ever get held accountable for anyone developing an ED.

He's absolutely disgusting!! Yes everything does have calories, but taking it to that extreme is WRONG. They can swivel on my fat one. Hopefully more and more people get the message about them and it all blows up in their faces. He probably wouldn't care if someone had an ED as long as he could use that person as a poster for his "success" .. Arseholes. Rachael is looking rather scrawny these days too. She's dropped a lot of weight recently and she had a lovely figure anyway!

Tbh I always got a bad feeling about the hubby of that affiliate couple, I can't put my finger on what but to me there was something a bit off with him. I used to quite like the wife though.

I unfollowed all but one affiliate when I left as she seemed different but she is starting to sound more like the rest now so may soon unfollow her too.

I followed a couple of affilates but they slowly began to irritate the hell out of me, couldnt bear to watch them in the end!
Some of the 'Hilarious' stories they told whilst marching on the spot were just pathetic, if thats your thing well fair enough, but i just found it all too cringeworthy!

 

[Jossylovesmoss65]

The last time I looked on their page he was going on about ‘Lucy Long Nips’ or something, with a cartoon to go alongside. I mean

I am bemused that grown adults actually find this shit amusing!!

 

[Fattyred]

I asked to cancel my membership due to covid, costs etc and they put me on a 3 month payment break.....currently paying £6.99 a month

 

[Jossylovesmoss65]

I don’t think him or his “plan” is any better than slimming world or any of the other diet plans he’s constantly bashing.

Its not even a plan as such , using free mfp app , everything can be found for free online, macros, steps etc, think you are paying for his 'banter' Oh, and slagging off slimming world and ww to big up his 'plan' just highlights his class or lack of it in his case!!

 

[rememberwayne]

I see he’s now a Covid expert as well...

He needs to learn respect for human beings, rather than treating people like crap and then pretending it is because he cares or blaming ADHD (very convenient thing to blame it on as can't question mental health, it is a loophole for him in my opinion)

 

[flibble123]

He's an absolute turd. There are plenty of blokes who sit on their fat arses, beer gut hanging out, stuffing crisps while their poor wife runs around doing all the house work, cooking and looking after the kids. I've never heard him use a bloke as an example ever!

I think he was raised by his grandparents, no idea what went on with his parents

Apparently his mum lives nearby, but I don’t know what’s true and what’s not. He uses it as a convenient sob story now and then. I was raised by my Nan too. I’m not abusive because of it.

 

[theeyeroller]

I may be wrong but when there was the split with the affiliates. Big man allegedly threatened one of the affiliates that NN were going to sue them.as they had posted about another protein powder on their page.

The NN people liked one of her pics or commented (sorry my memory is not the best) so she dm'd him and said she was surprised they were liking/commenting on her post.and with the legal stuff probably best not to.

The NN people supposedly said wtf you talking about so she explained showed them.screenshots of what big man had been saying and they weren't too happy as they knew nothing about it and didn't want dragging in to it. (Not happy with big man not the affiliate)

If someone else was in the break away group and remembers it better than me they can add or correct me if I am remembering it wrongly.

I was a member and left after all of the bullying came out. I was always scared to ask for help in case he publicly shamed me with one of his ranty videos

Yes think you’ve got it spot on. Now lo and behold they’re peddling their own protein powder!

I was always scared to ask anything too, he’s a horror. No one should make anyone feel like that, least of all people who are paying your wages! He’s had issues with way too many people now for it to be any of the other party’s fault - definitely not the mr genuine he claims, just wish the sheep in his group could see it!

I'm really tempted by Preece Nutrition after reading all this! My bf was a bit when I mentioned it as he's been through the mill with me with SW, WW etc problem is I'm a bit predisposed to getting overly obsessed with diet, and with all the stresses of lockdown and not being able to see family etc I've just basically let myself go and put on nearly a stone on top of what I already wanted to lose as I thought better this way than making the situation worse by getting OCD about what I'm eating.

The plan sounds really sensible though and like he's understanding of you actually having a life and not having to be 100% 'perfect' all the time. I'm going to try and go it alone the next 4 weeks using MFP and going to the gym and see how I get on. Have set my cals as 1600 a day as I think it's realistic. In the past I've gone for 1200 which is just too low and you end up having a massive blow out given half a chance. Do feel like I could do with some guidance though, the first plan just being calories rather than macros sounds best as I spend a lot of time away from home when I'm working so it's really difficult to keep up with macros!

 

[Jossylovesmoss65]

Last night i read on trustpilot a 1 star review by a person who rightly so said his attitude was bad calling people fatties etc, saying it was a con as most of what he is charging people for is available free online.
She said that she had questioned parts of his plan she didn't agree with in a calm respectful manner in the members group page, but these was deleted and she was blocked from the group!
After telling him how wrong it was and unprofessional for a company not to allow criticism , and warning people of his dodgy practices, he jumped on her with a ludicrous reply!
There was nothing wrong at all in what she said, it was her opinion and experiences of being a member of team rh.
I have looked today and her post has been removed, he has flagged it!
Wish i had took a screenshot of it yesterday to prove there was nothing wrong with her honest review.
He desperately wants the truth hidden!!

 

[ChubClubThug]

What I would like to know is; Where are all his success stories who have kept the weight off for over 5yrs following his plan....? People you pay as part of your team to arse lick you (or hold hostage in an abusive relationship) don't count

 

[Droosie123]

I am wondering if TRH would be on dodgy ground in a court of law if they went there trying to to say they had provided a service. Particularly if you have followed their plan and maintained or gained weight.

Even the hated SW and WW clubs offer a full refund if after a certain number of weeks you haven't lost weight.

Personally I think Richie needs to accept that their plan is fine for many people but should be used with caution and only in conjunction with a doctor if the individual has diabetes or thyroid issues. SW produce specific booklets for diabetics and although o have no real time for SW they do at least acknowledge that everyone is different.
