Sam Marriott - Online Coach

Clients, Pints and Comics 💻🍺📚

Down in the Big Smoke for a weekend of Business Development, but I couldn’t come down here without catching up with my Client and fellow nerd 🤝

I see all of my Clients as mates, rather than just a business transaction. While they may hire me to get them a result, I’ll always aim to make the Coaching Journey as much of a laugh as possible. If I’m to describe what my typical Check In and Client Conversation looks like.. it’s probably 30% serious coaching stuff, 30% Sarcasm, and 40% talking s**t about Sports, TV, Nerd Stuff and everything else🤣

Me and Simon are chipping away at build a decent rig for his holiday in a few months, but in between that, we talk about spending *far* too much money on iconic comics..

And while I’ve been in Australia, Simon managed to finesse me a copy of Moon Knight #1 for the Personal Collection.. Moon Knight is one of my favourite characters, so I am GASSED to own a key issue🤩

Imagine being one of those absolute Snooze-Fests that just see Clients as a mortgage payer.. could never be me🥴

You DONT have to be perfect to get in shape. ⤵️

Full disclosure - I’ve not been close to working at 100% for the past couple of weeks on my Game Plan.

Due to 27 hours worth of travelling and dealing with ungodly jet lag, I’ve only trained 5 times in the past 2 and a half weeks.

And since I’ve been home, my Calorie Management has been FAR from my usual standard - I’ve had a few more untracked days than usual, and I’ve definitely had a few more unplanned beers while catching up with family and friends🌚

And yet after all that, me and Mike both agreed that this is the BEST my physique has looked since the very start☝🏻

And the reason for that is simple - I’ve still ticked MOST of the boxes on a daily basis. 📦

Calorie / Protein Targets have been met MOST days, and I’ve kept my Steps anywhere between 8-12k per day - so I’ve done ‘enough’ to keep the momentum going in the right direction, even while not working at 100% ➡️

Here’s something VERY important you need to learn about Body Transformation:

Your body DOES NOT need perfection, but it DOES need consistency.

There are going to be PLENTY of occasions in your journey, where you’re prevented from completing certain parts of the Game Plan. But that DOES NOT mean your progress has to grind to a halt.

It could be working overtime and having to miss workouts, it could be illness or injury, or it could be fu***ng up your diet through your own poor choices (everyone f***s up, trust me🤷‍♂️)

The point is - If you’re still ticking boxes 90% of the time, NOTHING will slow the momentum down 🏎

I’ll leave you with this:

“Be consistently good, rather than inconsistently perfect” - that’s what gets you results 🏆

Life really came full circle this week😅

After coming home and having a few days to get my head back in the northern hemisphere - earlier this week I went and signed up to the nearest gym to my house ( )

The funny thing is - I actually used to work at this Gym back in the day, and it was my first ‘proper’ job in the Fitness Industry😅

The last time I stepped foot in this place before this week, was when I was a full time Gym Instructor. I did a little bit of Home/Outdoor PT on the side, and had only a handful of Online Clients - but the majority of my income / time was focused on this place!

Back then, I was a very shy, introverted and self-conscious PT. I didn’t have much belief in myself, so I never set I never set myself any huge ambitions in the Fitness Industry. I just wanted to help people get in shape, and make a bit of money so that I could ‘get by’ and have a decent life☝🏻

And to be honest.. I could NEVER have imagined I’d be in this position only a few years later.

I never imagined being able to travel the world, take part in crazy and adventures and make unforgettable memories 🌎

I never imagined my job would lead me to finding my partner in crime for life 👩‍❤️‍👨

And I never saw myself earning ‘good’ money either😅

I’ve got all of that, while being able to work with the most incredible Clients that a Coach could ask for.

Stepping foot in this Gym this week made me realise just how far I’ve come in my journey, and how I’m in a position that 2019 Sam wouldn’t even dare to dream about. This is BEYOND what I thought I was capable of.

What’s crazy is that I KNOW I still haven’t hit my peak yet, and I’ve still got a lot of work to do to reach my full capability.

And weirdly, training in this gym makes me even hungrier to keep growing, keep impacting, keep changing lives and ultimately - make MY dent on the Fitness Industry 🤝

My best is yet to come.. but man, it’s been one hell of a ride to get here. Lots of ups, plenty of downs, a handful of mental breakdowns and a crippling caffeine addiction that I still haven’t fixed..

But I’ve fu***ng loved every minute of this ride, and I hope it stays this crazy. Grateful for it all❤️

Obi Wan Kenobi finale - what a belter hey?🤩

Oh, and Happy Birthday me duck ❤️

At Team SM, we EMBRACE roadblocks.

And there aren't many Roadblocks a person can face, than having to live with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) every single day☝🏻

Meet Chloe, one of the five MS Queens that I'm fortunate to be working with 👑

She came to me 2 months ago, wanting to FINALLY find a way to sustainably lose body fat while living with MS.

But MS is a stubborn, unpredictable and often chaotic son of a b*tch.

From random Muscle Spasms, to extreme Chronic Fatigue, to numb body parts and tremors / shakes - it's a wild ride, and it can hit you any day, any time.

The typical way of losing weight is out the window when you live with MS, and it was the 'typical' way of doing things that was leading to Chloe burning out and hitting dead ends ✋🏻

So here's what we've done to get Chloe's waist to shrink over the past 2 months ⤵️

👉🏻 We've slowly worked up from 1 workout per week, and 6-8 steps per day.. to 3 workouts per week, and 10k+ steps per day. We've had to gently increase the work load here to avoid poking the MS bear, and only do as much work as Chloe could recover from

👉🏻 We've taken the 'Slow and Steady Approach' towards Fat Loss. If we'd have gone super aggressive and targeted fast fat loss, it would only add more stress / fatigue to the system, which would be a recipe for disaster given people with MS already struggle with fatigue. We're not rushing here, we're just taking the game at a pace that Chloe can manage

👉🏻 We've taken extra Rest Days / Mini-Deloads when needed. MS can be unpredictable, so sometimes we've had to 'pull back' to help get rid of some fatigue, to get us set up and ready to progress further 🚀

Incredibly proud of Chloe for giving a big 'f**k you' to MS and take HUGE strides towards her vision over the past couple of months🙏🏻

So here's my questions for you..

Are you ready to EMBRACE the roadblocks that are currently stopping you from getting results?

And are you ready to work closely with me to overcome these roadblocks, and give you a clear path towards your goals?

If so, DM me the word 'COACHING' right now, and we'll set up a call when my intake reopens in 2 weeks 📥

My Perception before moving to Australia: Try not to get killed by lots of devilish wild s**t that comes straight from the Underworld in Stranger Things

Reality of living in Australia: Morning coffee runs are mostly spent on ‘Roo Watch incase a bunch of Jack’s, Jill’s or Joey’s have broken free form the golf course 🦘

Oz, what a place hey?🤣
