Arthur Gourounlian shares weight loss secret after shedding 9lbs in just 28 days
The Armenian-born choreographer began a health transformation last month after feeling like he was beginning to struggle running after his two young children, Blu and Blake.
Since undergoing his health journey, he said he has lost an incredible 4.3kg (9lbs) of body fat, in just 28 days.
'It's honestly been fantastic,' Arthur shared. 'I didn't think a 20- minute weights session could make such a big difference—but the results speak for themselves, just look at me!'
Determined to kick off his summer feeling strong and energised, Arthur worked with Educogym in Dundrum in Dublin to start his transformation.
'As daddy of my two babies, and with multiple dance, TV and video projects on the go, time is always a challenge,' Arthur admitted.
'But Educogym made it 'doable'. Just 20 minutes a session, 3 times a week, I could train, work, have fun with the girls, and still feel like I'd done something powerful for myself. That balance has been priceless.'
Using advanced BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis) technology, with a special 'In Body' scanner, Jamie and his team at Educogym pinpoint exactly where the body needs to change—tailoring every exercise rep, set, and meal to maximise fat loss and muscle gain.
'The secret is resistance training, great nutrition and a dedicated mindset,' says Jamie.
'We help people visualise who they want to become—fitter, stronger, more alive. Arthur had that vision from day one. He knew what he wanted to achieve, he was committed and focused. That's what powers real transformation.
'We actually lose an average of ½ lb of muscle each year once we reach the age of 30, so it is important to maintain strength and muscle tone for overall health,' said Jamie.
'Certainly, there is no magic wand to stop the effects of ageing but with our help, and with this programme people can see results very quickly.'
Arthur told us previously at the Platinum VIP Style Awards: 'It's only a 20 minute workout, but it's all about the food. And I'm learning, instead of eating five sandwiches, I'm going for one. And it's kind of like, makes me feel good. And now I feel bad if I eat lots of chocolate.
'Instead of having five million KitKats, I'm having one, just a little taste, but I haven't had any sweets. It feels good.
'I have two kids. I just want to run after them. You know, longevity.
'I knew I was getting heavy after being a dancer. I was like, 'my legs are getting heavy.'
'I've got always so much energy, energy I always have. But I was like, You know what? I'm getting heavy. I'm going to try to look after myself.'

Even the Notorious needs a pass: Viral video shows McGregor left outside Longitude gates
'You're not on the list, you can't come in' apparently applies to even the nation's best-known celebrity, as MMA fighter Conor McGregor seemed unable to get into Longitude without a ticket last night. The multi-millionaire sportsman McGregor turned up at the festival in Marley Park on Sunday night in one of his flashy sports cars. But even though he's one of the most recognisable faces in the country, and had his nickname stitched on his hoodie, it didn't appear to be enough to get him past security without a VIP pass. A file image of Conor McGregor. Pic: Dave Benett/WireImage The Crumlin-born fighter was seen strutting about with his mobile phone stuck to his ear as security guards looked on. McGregor's attendance -outside- Longitude could have been to collect his mate 50 Cent who was playing out the last set at the summer festival. U.S rapper 50 Cent jetted into Ireland on Saturday night as he was booked to headline the final evening on the Longitude stage. @unknown20867721 McGregor trying to get into longitude for free and gets refused 😂😂 #mcgregor #irish ♬ original sound – Niall Dolan Ahead of his rap gig at Marlay Park, 50 Cent showed up at McGregors Black Forge Pub in Crumlin. McGregor and 50 Cent have, by all accounts, kissed and made up after the pair of celebrities had been embroiled in an unseemly eight-year spat. The pair's encounter comes after a history of online beef, which ignited around McGregor's 2017 boxing match against Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas. McGregor had famously taunted during a press event: '50 Cent's a b****. You and 50 are two fake money b****es. He's bankrupt, and you're about to be.' A file image of Conor McGregor. Pic: Arnold Jerocki/FilmMagic The American artist, better known as Curtis Jackson, dropped into The Black Forge Inn where McGregor was on hand to greet him with the now-best-bro's sharing a warm hug. And it was a case of double celebration as 50 turned 50 on Sunday night so he celebrated his milestone birthday in Dublin City. It is not clear if McGregor managed to convince the security team at Marlay Park to allow him into the festival.

Singing surgeon's Cork family home in rude good health
A MEDICAL career that moved around Ireland and the UK ended up with a return to Cork and a medic's local reputation as the Singing Surgeon as only part of the story of 1 The Grove. 1 The Grove The substantial detached family home was bought brand new back around 2004 by Dick (Richard) and Sheila Creedon after they returned from Manchester. Having started a family of three youngsters, they flitted from Drogheda and London also: sons Oliver and Richard and daughter Sinéad only slowly warmed to the notion of rural life back in Ireland, first in Innishannon and then here, closer to Cork City at Crossbarry. The couple met when Inchigeela native and orthopaedic surgeon Dick Creedon met Navan woman Sheila (nee Roberts), a nurse, back in the 1990s. Their careers followed medical postings that eventually saw the Bon Secours (and, later the Mater Private) lure them home. Homecoming A love of sport helped their children settle in and make new friends after uprooting from Manchester, and sport also rears its head in that No 1 The Grove was built by the highly regarded local builder Fachtna Crowley, father of Munster and Ireland professional rugby player Jack Crowley. On the ball No 1 is in the front row of six houses in The Grove, home to a mix of families of several ages and it was a perfect place to grow up, with rural freedoms, yet local conveniences and easy proximity to the city, says son Oliver. The blues He and brother Richard trained as engineers, sister Sinéad is a writer and works in publishing (she co-produces the literary and creative writing magazine Sonder). Oliver admits that it was their father Dick who got the reputation as a bit of a rocker, singing and performing in bars including regular gigs at local Barrett's Bar in nearby Killeady, playing a mix from Neil Young to country and the likes of Glen Campbell and John Denver. Case notes The Singing Surgeon's many, many guitars, amps and the odd banjo still adorn rooms at No 1, now for sale after the passing of the Inchigeela-born man in 2017, predeceased by his wife Sheila in 2013. Tasked with the sale is estate agent Norma Healy of Sherry FitzGerald, listing it at €695,000 and expecting interest from trade-up and relocating families. It's spacious, with four first floor bedrooms of which two are en suite with walk-in robes, and there's a second floor with two more rooms, one used as a home office up to now with adjoining bathroom. Ms Healy there's scope for two more bedrooms here, subject to planning. At ground level is a good floorplan, with reception rooms left and right of a central hallway, each with bay windows (finished externally in brick), with a wider kitchen/dining room behind, linking to a sun room, also has a utility and guest WC. There's also a large attached garage, and an overall good mature site with rear patio by the sunroom, and there's a C1 BER. Just in need of a décor update and possible change of wall colours now, No 1 The Grove's within a two minute walk of the local Crossbarry shop and filling station, with easy access to the N70 West Cork route as well as to Halfway, Killumney, Waterfall and Wilton/Bishopstown. VERDICT: Family home of 'the Singing Sawbones' has good bones itself.
