The proof is in the people.
Real people, real numbers, coached across Europe and almost all of it online.
He had never trained a day in his life.
We built the muscle from nothing first, which is the unglamorous bit nobody puts on Instagram. Then we took 10kg off him and kept every bit of that muscle. He is not finished either, not even close.
He couldn't get up the stairs with his daughter.
Office job, five year old, permanently knackered. Going upstairs with her on his hip left him out of breath and his back aching. He now carries her on his shoulders without thinking about it. Started as a complete beginner and pulls 140kg off the floor.
130kg, and his knees were in bits.
He had never set foot in a gym. Two hundred metres on the skier left him soaked and struggling, and his knees couldn't cope with carrying the weight around. He is over four stone down now, and the habits that got him there are not going anywhere.
Her last coaches took the money and vanished.
She had paid for coaching before. Barely a check in, no progress, nobody who seemed to care either way. By the time she came to me she hated the gym. She is 10kg down with real muscle on her, she actually enjoys training now, and she is comfortable in her own skin for the first time.
Joiner, on the go, living on whatever was quickest.
He never had time to get his food in properly, so he would run on empty all day then binge at night. Weekends were a write off on the booze. He told me his life felt like a mess. We sorted the food around his actual work day first and the shape followed after. Twenty weeks, start to finish.
Actuary by day, lifter by night.
He was already in the gym and putting the work in. What he did not have was any structure or habits that fitted the way he actually lived. Same effort, organised properly, and he got into the best shape of his life.
A VP in banking who was scared of the gym.
Back to back meetings, a torn ACL he was wary of, and a belly he had stopped looking at. We trained around the knee instead of avoiding everything, and the belly went with it. He has been with me two years now.
Shaky reps to clean reps. Sixty kilos added to his deadlift in twelve weeks.
Alaric's wife pulled me aside one day and said he doesn't snore anymore. They're sleeping properly for the first time in years. That hit me harder than any transformation photo ever could. The body change is one thing. His wife being able to sleep is another thing entirely.
