(1)

At Brooks Performance we cut through the industry hype and help you integrate proven, no nonsense training and nutrition solutions into your busy schedule. We will get you that ever-elusive six-pack, increase your energy levels, improve your confidence and have you feeling comfortable in your clothes again. We’re all about creating the best version of you – from the beach, to the boardroom, to the bedroom. Our philosophy is that you cannot be fit without being healthy. As such, we put significant focus on getting you healthy from the inside. We aim to have you sleeping better, thinking better, managing stress better and digesting better. We will call on methods such as Biosignature, blood chemistry profiling and performance nutrition to help you achieve a true state of health. We also believe that you can’t achieve optimal body composition without being strong. Therefore, our scientifically based programming will focus significantly on the accretion of strength. You will be getting under that bar, lifting heavy and pushing yourself to new limits. Our training style is simple; we write the rulebook based on the job you set for us – achieving your own individual version of improved health, performance and physical appearance. We will not hold your hand, be your counsellor or count your reps. Rather we will kick your behind, make you accountable, push you to new limits and most importantly achieve your goals. No other way is fitting for the commitment and investment that you will be making in your health.

Most blokes waste 50% of their gym time. Being time-poor might just fix that. ⚡

When you’ve only got 3 hours a week for the gym, you can’t afford vanity exercises or ego lifting. Every movement has to deliver maximum ROI.

💪 Technique mastery over ego lifting
⚡ Building balanced strength (not just prime movers)
🎯 Strengthening neglected stabilizers
✅ Progressive overload without junk volume

If you’re training 6 days a week doing random exercises from Instagram, chasing soreness and adding volume because more = better? You’re likely spinning your wheels.

Meanwhile, the time-poor guy training 3 days a week is getting stronger, staying injury-free and actually seeing results.

Geordie’s transformation in the reel? That’s what happens when every exercise earns its place. No fluff. No wasted effort. Just intelligent programming that respects your time and recovery capacity.

Your constraint isn’t your problem - it’s your advantage if you program for it properly. 🎯

👉 Save this if you’re tired of programs that don’t match your reality

Want to maximise your 3-4 hours per week? DM ‘SMART TRAINING’ and I’ll show you exactly how we structure our programming for maximum results.

Your body fat is killing you faster than preservatives ever will!

Blokes carrying 10kg+ of excess fat obsessing over e-numbers in ready-made meals are missing the actual health emergency.

What’s destroying your health right now:
🔥 Chronic inflammation from excess body fat
💉 Insulin resistance turning into Type 2 diabetes
❤️ Increased cardiovascular disease and cancer risk
⚠️ Joint problems, sleep disorders, shortened lifespan

Look, I’m not saying additives are “healthy.” But we need to talk about scale of risk.

I lost 40kg eating Lean Cuisine. My health transformation didn’t happen despite the ready-made meals - it happened because I finally lost the fat that was actually killing me.

If you ate organic whole foods but stayed 20kg overweight, your health markers would be significantly worse than someone who lost the weight using My Muscle Chef a few times a week. That’s not opinion - that’s measurable.

The fat is the emergency. Everything else is optimization.

Stop letting perfectionism keep you stuck. Get the weight off first using whatever works. Optimize later.

👉 Save this and share it with someone stuck in analysis paralysis

Follow for fat loss advice that prioritizes what actually moves the needle.

Are whole eggs wrecking your FAT LOSS progress? 🍳

Nothing wrong with eggs themselves, but when you’re trying to lose body fat AND hit your protein targets, the numbers don’t work in your favour.

Three whole eggs = 18g protein, 15g fat, 210 calories. That’s 11.7 calories per gram of protein. Not efficient.

Cut out most of the yolks and suddenly you’ve got 1 whole egg + egg whites = 34g protein for only 188 calories. That’s 5.5 calories per gram of protein. You’re getting more than double the protein efficiency. ✅

This isn’t about demonising whole eggs. It’s about understanding that when fat loss is the goal, protein-to-calorie ratio matters more than you think.

The combo gives you the best of both worlds - flavour and nutrients from one yolk, but the protein efficiency of the whites.

👉 Save this for your next grocery shop. Look for Simply Eggs Whites or 100% Egg Whites in the fridge near the the egg cartons.

Quick rule: If fat loss is the goal, prioritise foods with a better protein-to-calorie ratio. Makes hitting your targets way easier without feeling like you’re starving.

We first posted this back in January 2024 and I couldn’t help but re-share as it’s still bloody funny & relevant in 2025 😂

If you’ve ever walked into the gym and didn’t know where look due to the ladies’ short, short, short short shorts, this one is for you!

PS: This is a bloke problem, not lady problem - wear whatever you like gals!

You’re acting like you have unlimited time. You don’t.

Every guy who DMs me “I need to get back into training” thinks they have more time than they do.

“I’ll start after this work project.”
“I’ll get serious when things calm down.”
“I used to be in great shape, I just need to get back to it.”

Meanwhile, 6 months pass. Then a year. Then five.

But mate, here’s what happens during that time: The biological cost of waiting compounds. Every year you delay, you’re not just maintaining - you’re sliding backward. Muscle loss accelerates. Recovery gets harder. Injuries become more likely.

I’ve watched guys postpone training for “Monday” turn into guys at 50 asking “is it too late?” with 20 extra kilos, joint pain and zero cardio capacity.

It’s not too late. But it’s never easier than right now.

The time you’re waiting for - when work slows down, when life gets simpler, when you magically have more energy - that time doesn’t exist. You make time or you lose time. There’s no third option.

Your future self is either thanking you for starting today or resenting you for waiting another year.

DM me TIME and let’s stop negotiating and start moving.

If your coach is doing any of these, RUN! 👟💨🚩

Training over 35 is different. Your joints don’t bounce back like they used to, your hormones have shifted and what worked in your 20s doesn’t work now.

Cookie-cutter programs designed for younger lifters will break you down, not build you up.

HERE ARE THE RED FLAGS THAT SHOULD SEND YOU RUNNING:

🚩 They throw you straight under a barbell without assessing your movement quality, building joint resilience or addressing imbalances FIRST. That’s how you end up with a herniated disc, not a PR.

🚩 They have you eating like a teenage girl with extreme deficits and zero carbs because “that’s what works.” Yeah, for losing muscle, tanking your energy, and rebounding harder than you started.

🚩 Their only transformations are of themselves. If they can’t show you results from clients who look like YOU - same age, same life stage, same challenges - they’re guessing with your body.

🚩 They promise dramatic results in 4 weeks. Real body composition changes take months, not weeks. Anyone promising rapid transformations is either lying or setting you up for an unsustainable crash that you’ll rebound from hard.

A good coach for your age doesn’t just know training and nutrition. They understand recovery capacity, life stress, sleep debt and how to program around a 40+ hour work week and actual responsibilities.

If you’re tired of programs that don’t account for what training over 35 actually requires, let’s talk.

DM ME “REDFLAGS” AND I’LL SHOW YOU WHAT AGE-APPROPRIATE, SUSTAINABLE TRAINING ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE.

Your metabolism isn’t broken. But your self-awareness might be.

Every single time someone tells me they’re in “starvation mode,” it’s the same pattern: they’ve been “eating barely anything” for weeks, weight loss has stalled and they’re convinced something is fundamentally wrong.

And every single time, when we actually dig into the data, the real story emerges.

HERE’S WHAT’S ACTUALLY HAPPENING:

1️⃣ You’re moving way less than you think. Your steps have dropped. You’re fidgeting less. Your body is subconsciously conserving energy in ways you don’t notice.

2️⃣ You’re under-reporting your intake. That “handful” of nuts? The “drizzle” of olive oil? The weekend meals you didn’t log? They add up fast.

3️⃣ You’re stuck in the restrict-binge cycle. Super strict all week, then completely cave on the weekend—erasing your entire deficit.

Not what they want to hear. But what they need to hear.

The hardest part of my job isn’t writing programs or calculating macros. It’s helping people see the gap between what they think they’re doing and what’s actually happening.

Because you can’t fix a problem you’ve misdiagnosed.

DM ME THE WORD “STARVATION” AND LET’S FIGURE OUT WHAT’S REALLY GOING ON.

No judgment. Just honest assessment and a path forward that actually works.
