Inspirational posts about the journey of the Hel’s Angels ladies: A group of women training together each on their own journey to become a better version of themselves� After a 21 year investment in the fitness and health industry Helen is sharing her knowledge with women to equip and empower them to achieve astounding weight loss results, fitness and health improvement and growth in confidence. What began as a 90 day challenge in January 2016 has grown into a revolutionary fitness cult with ladies in the friendly city of Port Elizabeth queuing for a spot in each upcoming 3-month challenge eager to earn their angel wings. Hel's Angels focuses on training MEAN and eating CLEAN with a programme that is tailored to address these two key aspects to assist women to embrace the NEW beautiful - STRONG, FIT and HEALTHY. The training programme mainly focuses on weights coupled with cardio. Ladies from all fitness backgrounds have benefitted on the programme whether starting as a beginner or with a degree of fitness in place. Runners and squash players have watched their performances peak after incorporating the Hel's Angels programme as a base fitness regime to add to their training. Not only is Hel's Angels a fitness group but a motivational and supportive group of ladies who forge great friendships and lift each other up - celebrating the joys of their new-found health and happiness together. It is this unique combination that has made Hel's Angels the success it is. The home of Hel's Angels is Profiles Health Club found on the William Moffett Express Way, Walmer Downs, Port Elizabeth South Africa.

Just like that, another Hel's Angels Body Transformations challenge comes to an end – the 5AM Club!

What a privilege it is to be part of such an incredible group of women, lifting each other up, training together, and constantly encouraging one another. The support, accountability, and energy in this group is something truly special.

Three years later, I couldn’t be more proud to finally be at my ideal weight, muscle mass, and body fat percentage. It has taken hard work, dedication, and many early mornings, but wow… it has been so worth it. This journey has proven that consistency, the right guidance, and a supportive community can truly change your life.

Helen Ashley Mentzel aka Helly – without you, I would never have been able to do this. Thank you for believing in me, pushing me when I needed it most, and creating an environment where women can grow stronger both physically and mentally.

Timothy Young aka Timtay – thank you for pushing me and for being the best partner throughout this journey that I could ever have asked for.

Over the last three years I’ve gone from 71/100 to 87/100.

This challenge alone:
* 3.2 kg weight loss
* Increased muscle mass by 1.2 kg
* Decreased body fat by 5.4%

Overall results:
* 18.5 kg total weight loss
* 15.4% total body fat loss
* Visceral fat reduced from level 15 to level 6
* 2 Pant sizes down

The numbers are great, but the biggest win is the strength, confidence, and discipline that comes from showing up at 5AM with an incredible group of women who motivate each other every single day.

I cannot imagine spending my mornings anywhere else. If you’re looking for a supportive fitness community that delivers real results, Hels Angels is truly something special.

The next challenge starts 13 April 2026 – make sure you sign up.

If you’ve been thinking about joining… this is your sign. You will never regret it. 💪

Two years of showing up.
17.2kg lost. 14% body fat gone. Visceral fat down from 16 to 7.

But the real transformation?
Learning that this journey is not about perfection — it’s about commitment.
It’s not a quick diet — it’s a lifestyle.
It’s not about being skinny — it’s about being strong, healthy, confident and capable.

I chose to lift weights.
I chose to fuel my body with protein.
I chose to become someone who puts their health first.
And every one of those choices added up to the strongest version of me.

A massive thank you to Helen, Hel’s Angels Body Transformations, and the incredible Hels Ladies. Your support, strength, and encouragement made this possible. I’m forever grateful. ❤️💪

If you’re starting your own journey — keep going.
Slow progress is still progress.
Small choices still count.
And you are absolutely capable of changing your life.

It’s a journey… and it’s worth every step. ✨

11 months of committing to myself and my health.
I honestly can’t believe how far I’ve come. Or rather, how bad things truly were before I started... and that after already dropping a few kilos.

My very first InBody assessment shook me to my core. A visceral fat level of 19.... 19!
I knew I was overweight, but I never realised it was that serious.
Fast-forward to my last inbody assessment: I’m 15kg down, I’ve dropped over 12% body fat and my visceral fat has gone from 19 to 9. That’s something I never imagined possible when I stepped on that machine at the beginning of the year with tears in my eyes.

Taking the first step, putting yourself and your health first is not easy. I was embarrassed and uncomfortable, but that is exactly the moment you need to show up. When you realise you can’t keep living the way you are… start.

Start immediately.
Start messy.
Start scared.
Just start.

Because Rome wasn’t built in a day and your health journey won’t be either. Progress takes time, courage, and consistency. But we can do hard things! And the moment you start seeing results, the moment you start feeling healthier, fitter and stronger, something shifts. There’s no going back.

And honestly, the mornings with Hels Angel’s were exactly what I needed. Getting my workouts done before sunrise became my quiet promise to myself, the thing that grounded me and set the tone for the day. Those early mornings reminded me why I started and why I’m not stopping.

You realise the version of you you’re becoming is worth every early morning, every workout and every moment of doubt.

If you’re standing where I stood 11 months ago… take the step. Your future self will thank you a million times over.

My health and fitness journey is far from over... it’s only just beginning and I can’t wait to see what 2026 has in store!
Health is wealth. Look after it. Your future self will thank you.
