It does say 12 month contract right at the bottom there but I don’t know how new that is! It should be at the top, not the bottom to make it as clear as possible even before you go in to sign up. View attachment 201855
The 12 month contract has been there for a long while now. I started with them in 2017 before a 12 month contact came in and it was useless, basically paying for them to tell you what calories to have. I once asked a question and got links to watch the starter videos. It was so obvious they had their own little clique of favourites. It also annoyed me when they started with theor 'coaches', a bunch of people who had done 'their plan' for a short time that were arse lickers. I cancelled after the app came in as i thought it was utter bollocks and it rarely linked properly to MFP and also would never log me in. I can't believe how awful they have turned after listening to how much they wanted to help people and it wasn't about money. 🙄

I was just reading old posts of theirs and I get the impression Rachael is estranged from her family? And he did a post about getting her away from toxic influences. God he really does seem a very controlling person. And he’s absolutely minging.
Yep I would bet money on him being very controlling g about who she does and doesn't see.

Gaslighting her to such an extent she's sees the people as toxic....even if they are not.

Wouldn't mind being a fly on the wall in that home.

Oh darling. This was my biggest fear for people. This was where I felt I was heading. I was literally sobbing because I didn’t know how to eat anymore as I couldn’t get the callipers readings right. I ended up panicking and thinking I just don’t know how to eat anymore. Since the weekend, I just stopped tracking and stopped “smashing the weights” and started doing workouts I genuinely enjoy from boxing and bubbles, pop sugar etc and I’ve actually lost a pound. I’m just desperate for my periods to come back after starving myself for so long.

That penis tracker was vile. I think they really appeal to the lowest type of people. It’s juvenile. I agree with the setting a bad example. I’m all for my son seeing me workout but not the weighing everything including myself. I was doing it in secret before he woke up 😔

I’m trying to take elements from it, more protein and fibre in my diet, but just trying to eat what feels right. Not pushing myself to stuff food in when I don’t want it, not having a day where I consume a huge amount of carbs. Just eating what feels right for my body. I hope you can find a way to come back to yourself.


I can recommend following all of these for self love and deprogramming some of the bullshit advice.
Thank you so much. I totally understand the exercise point. I was avoiding exercise I enjoyed because it didn’t give me as many steps - jogging on the spot like a moron was better for steps, but I really want to do yoga,
Joe Wicks, Jillian Michaels, body pump. But none of those got my steps up. They made me feel 100000 times better but who cares if you don’t get your gold star right?!

another contradiction I noticed was a video he did slating people for doing steps with no effort, said your “titties should be bouncing around”. A few people commented that the morning step with El video wasn’t that energetic and previously they’d said any movement classed as steps, so why the change? Apparently we are all too thick to know you have to be throwing yourself around like a maniac (which is actually incorrect, any movement above BMR contributes to NEAT which is all that steps are adding to).

I didn’t mind the swearing but I’ve found comments a lot more vulgar than before and it’s not what I want to be exposed to. Even “tittles bouncing around”, wtf? Really?

I think if they state 12 month plan then people should expect to pay for 12 months. Most companies have T&C’s online and they are usually hidden away somewhere. It’s not right that they have debt collectors in and personally I think Ritchie is a d*ck but people do need to be more careful when signing up for things online.
Yes I agree - I read it as you pay all up front or you can pay in installments but I knew exactly what the cost would be.
Perhaps they shouldn't offer installments and people just pay upfront payment.

My SIL and I both got fitbits for Xmas when they first came out. We teamed up and set competitions between us. At the time she was a stay at home mum of two under twos and my kids were up a bit and at school. I was between jobs rather than a SAHM. She beat me every single day doing well in excess of 20,000 steps, sometimes without leaving the house.
I’m not back working from home until next week and I did 21000 steps yesterday by just going about my daily business and going for one big walk, but I normally average between 10000 and 15000. I also don’t watch a single soap or almost anything else on TV despite him thinking that’s what mums do, and for 4 days out of 7 i suppose I technically am a stay at home mum! He thinks every mum sits on her bum eating biscuits watching the soaps and loose women! Having kids is exhausting and like a full time job in itself.

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 think so. But they have a get out clause.
i know it’s bad and naughty but this is how I got out of my membership. I played the mental health card and also checked the terms and conditions as I felt that they weren’t clear enough, at the time.
Ashbourne are a shower of crooks anyway who have been fined previously.

I was originally with TRH and did well (lost 2 and a half stone). Loved it at the beginning but then it started to get bigger . The calorie clubs were fab.. until we realised they were being monitored and a couple of girls I got chatting to were deleted for having an opinion. Then it all kicked off with affiliates leaving etc. I joined Preece Nutrition and its a totally different atmosphere. Mr Howey has obvious mental health issues and I'm concerned for all those 'coaches ' who worship the ground he walks on. Peter Preece, on the other hand , is so genuine , gentle and genuinely concerned for each and everyone of his members health and well being. Team RH is a total farce in my opinion .
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.

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)
Exactly. His mental health isn't any more important than the mental health of others. By all accounts he's harmed a lot of people mentally with his behaviour! He is still accountable for that. It doesn't surprise me he has ADHD (has he been diagnosed? I don't follow him anymore) his behaviour is just manic constantly. He'll end up having a heart attack the way he carries on.

There’s definitely some sort of personality disorder there, he either makes a joke of stuff like an adolescent or he’s ridiculously aggressive. And I’m no snowflake, I usually don’t give a hoot about swearing but his language is absolutely foul and totally unprofessional. I do think Munro ripped them off and I think he’s sneaky but Peter is a true gent and his group is lovely.
💯 has mental issues. He’s super aggressive much like RebelFit (he needs his own thread to be fair!). He needs to calm down and relax a little. He thinks he’s so different to SW and WW yet he’s exactly the same! So his ‘members’ count calories and pay someone to help them lose weight no different to the big players. All out to make some money, the weight loss industry is big business!

I only signed up yesterday 🙈 I was expecting a lot more for my €32 intial sign up - I felt I was missing something but obviously not after reading all these! - I thought when they said personalized plan - it meant an actual diet plan and not ur cals / macros that u can easily get on line for free. I’ll give it a month and see if not I’ll be cancelling my €8.99 a month direct debit via my bank!

I never went on any of the groups, glad I didn't as that sounds awful. Kicking someone when they're down. That could deter someone altogether.

Guys like him are 10 a penny in the gym.

One thing I found distracting when R&R were doing a video together was that when she was talking (from a script) he would be silently mouthing all the words beside her 😂

Yeah it used to be a bit of a running joke, Richie swears a lot - oops! There's a difference with saying the odd swear word when the context isn't offensive & then there's this. Scraping the barrel to be disgusting and insulting. Some of the comments were saying things like I need to hear this. No one needs to hear that, no one at all. This lacks tact & basic decency.
