From Sparkles to Squats

Arthur Gourounlian and his Amazing 28-Day Body Transformation

When celebrity trainer Jamie Myerscough—owner of Educogym and fitness coach to stars like pop sensation, Robbie Williams and golfing great, Darren Clarke—challenged Dancing with the Stars judge Arthur Gourounlian to take on his famous 28-day transformation programme, the answer was instant from Arthur, “Let’s do this!”

The choreographer and busy dad of 2-year-old Blake and 11-month-old Blu—was ready to embrace the challenge, determined to prove that even with a packed schedule and sleepless nights, transformation is possible.

Determined to kick off his summer feeling strong and energised, Arthur walked into Educogym in Dundrum in Dublin and his transformation began. After just 28 days Arthur had dropped an incredible 4.3kg of body fat—without a single punishing cardio marathon in sight.

“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!”

So how did he fit it in with a busy filming schedule and raising two little ones together with his presenter husband, Brian Dowling Gourounlian?

“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.”

The magic? It’s all in the science. 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.”

Educogym’s holistic approach goes beyond weights. It fuses efficient resistance training with mental conditioning and personalised nutrition to create not just fit bodies—but focused, confident minds.

“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. The University study on which our concept is based showed average results of 7.5lbs of fat loss and 3 lbs of muscle gain which equates to approximately 2 inches off the waist and 6 years back on your ageing clock in just 12 days.”

He went on to say, “Nutrition too is an essential part of the Educogym programme and clients are also given a bespoke nutritional plan to suit their body and their lifestyle. Each client undergoes a comprehensive consultation before they commence the Educogym programme to measure their overall health and wellbeing. Their goals and objectives are also clearly outlined from the onset with a commitment from both trainer and client to achieve the goals together.”

Arthur now joins a glowing roster of Educogym fans including TV personality Lorraine Keane and international model Rosalind Lipsett—proof that this isn’t your average gym. Jamie Mysercough has four locations across Kildare and Dublin, and are in—Dundrum, Blackrock, Docklands, and Naas. There are also locations right around Dublin city centre and around Ireland including Cork, Ennis, Galway and Wicklow.

So, whether you’re aiming to shed a few pounds, build strength, or just feel like the best version of yourself, Arthur has one piece of advice:

“Get in, train smart, trust the process and enjoy! You won’t believe what’s possible in just 28 days. Let’s do this!”

Arthur completed his sessions at Educogym, Dundrum.

For those ready to transform not just their body but their mindset too, Educogym offers more than a workout—it offers a new way of life.
