I coach guys to be FIT, STRONG, HEALTHY & CONFIDENT

28/08/2026

You rise to the level of the standards you accept

👉🏼 The people you train with
👉🏼 The conversations you have
👉🏼 The excuses you tolerate

Start asking yourself: whether the environment around you is helping you become the person you want to be or keeping you stuck feeling average…

Choose your environment wisely

If I could only train 5 days a week and wanted to get leaner, stronger & fitter

This is exactly how I would structure my week!

Monday: Lower
Tuesday: Upper
Wednesday: Interval Run
Thursday: Rest
Friday: Full Body
Saturday: Long Run
Sunday: Rest

Comment or DM me “PERFORM” if you’re training hard but want a plan that actually gets you leaner, stronger & fitter

If travelling ruins your ability to succeed long term… listen up

Because if you’re the type of person who can can’t maintain (and even build) their shape through holidays and travel plans, you don’t have a travel problem, you have a ability to adapt problem

I was in Dubai for 3 months and actually came home leaner (without it even being the goal)

Despite eating out more

Despite being in a different environment

Despite having to get familiar with new foods

Now, one of the biggest keys to my success here was adapting to a new reality

Admitting to myself that not every day is going to be perfect

But how I show up the days after is the most important thing

And the biggest mistake so many guys make when travelling, is they think because they can’t follow their normal routine perfectly, there’s no point following any routine at all.

But honestly the truth is, you don’t need your fancy routine…

You need routines that work for you anywhere

If you know you’re capable of more with your physique and tired of staying average, follow me 👉🏼 to feel like yourself again

Dan was already training 5-6x per week

CrossFit…

Running….

Putting in the work!

Effort was NEVER the problem

But despite training more than most guys, he felt he should be leaner and making more progress for the amount of work he was putting in

We identified that his training lacked structure, his running was random and while he ate pretty well, nutrition was largely guesswork

So when Dan joined the team, the goal wasn’t to make him have to train more

It was to make the time he was already putting in, actually start paying off

So we focused on:

→ Losing 5kg without sacrificing performance

→ Giving his strength, CrossFit & running structure

→ Learning how to fuel properly rather than just “eating healthy”

→ Making it work around holidays, weddings, weekends away & a busy social life

4 months later…

✅ 5kg down 

✅ +5kg Bench Press PB

✅ +5kg Front Squat PB

✅ 110kg Hang Clean double PB

✅ 0 → 10 unbroken Butterfly Pull Ups

✅ Smashed his team CrossFit competition

But the best part is how he now feels…

CONFIDENT
FUELLED
HAPPIER

This is exactly what we mean by Perform & Transform

Getting leaner shouldn’t come at the detriment to your fitness

But now the fat loss phase is done, we’re moving onto the next goal

A Half Marathon PB followed by Valencia Marathon in December and chasing that sub 3:30

All with the right training AND fuelling strategy to make it happen

If you’re already training hard but feel like your body or performance should be further ahead?

Comment the word “LEAN”

And I will send you the exact framework we use to get guys in amazing shape without destroying their life and energy

It was even the same framework I used personally last year…

Where I set out to get in the best shape of my life for my wedding

A 12 weeks fat loss phase

I dropped 5kg and the goal was well and truly accomplished

But this never came at the detriment to my performance or my social life

I had 3 weddings throughout this fat loss phase

My own stag do plus a best friend

Came first in a teams Hybrid competition

And even came 2nd in an RX CrossFit comp 3 weeks before the wedding

So how did I do it?

Comment the word “LEAN” to find out 👇🏼
