Josh Dickinson - The “No BS” Transformation Coach

Quick question and I’d be keen to get your thoughts:

“Fitness Challenges”

3 of the biggest fitness I influencers in Aus with a combined following of over 1.5mil on the G run 8 week challenge…

And every second post (sponsored ad) is looking for “5 guys who want to get shredded in 6 weeks without counting calories”

Yes, I admit I used to run “challenges” (I quit 10 years ago)

And I was damn good at them (plus they are great for business)

But… they don’t really deliver the long-term outcomes as promised?

Fact is; Aussie men are now fatter than ever reaching for their next man shake in a desperate attempt to get their health back on track

So where is the disconnect?

I have my own opinions with the results to back it up

And if you have seen my 5-step training, I share more of that there

But I’m curious what do you think?

Drop me a line, I would be keen to know

If you’re training hard, eating well, and still not seeing the physique you know you’re capable of…

This is for you.

Most men over 40 don’t struggle because they lack discipline.

They struggle because the approach they’re following isn’t built for them anymore.

In this free training, I break down:

• The 3 biggest mistakes keeping consistent men stuck

• Why training harder often makes results worse after 40

• The 5-step method busy operators across Australia use to get leaner, fitter, and stronger without living in the gym

No hype.

No gimmicks.

No “6-week shred” nonsense.

Just a smarter way to train, eat, and execute so your body finally reflects your standards.

Here is the training >>

I just caught an email from a nutritionist comparing the benefits of a structured meal to grazing

The info was solid enough

But it’s got me all “triggered” and the like

You see, in his comparison he used different food sources

Different calories

Different protein amounts

Different levels of fibre

Never listed carbs or fats

And did I say, they were just “different”

Does that matter?

Yes, it does

It’s like comparing the fuel efficiency of 2 cars with one being electric

With different selections, energy densities and satiety values, you are going to get a different outcome

So, what’s my opinion: team grazing or team structured meal?

Do want you want, if it satisfies your goals, preferences and lifestyle

Me, I’ve eaten 6 meals per day for the last 20 years

Why? I would much rather less food over more meals throughout the day as I personally hate that full, boated feel…

And I know people who don’t want to leave the dinner table unless they have to be rolled away

Yes of course, there are “better” ways of doing things to optimize your results (ie if you trained first thing in the morning, Intermittent fasting probably isn’t the best way to go…)

But ultimately it comes down to finding what works for you so you can make it part of your long game

If you want to bounce some ideas back and forth, you can always message me direct and I’m sure we can come up with a sustainable plan of attack that works

Flying down the trails on my e-bike this morning, my phone pinged.

It was a question and not the usual

“what should I eat?” or “what program are you on?”

It was the kind of question that tells you someone’s actually thinking.

I couldn’t wait to get home and reply.

Here’s what I sent 👇

Hey mate, thanks for reaching out and a ripper of a question.

Brendan, like most guys was not shy in working hard... but also like most, he could lose weight just couldn't keep it off.

He said he knew he needed a different approach, and I asked him one question that changed everything: "why do you have weight to lose in the first place"?

That really got him thinking, and instead of focusing in losing weight or trying to stick to programs that didn't suit his lifestyle, he made his lifestyle BETTER and removed the reason for gaining weight in the first place.

That was the game changer, and then I was able to help him with dialing in his goals, accountability etc.

Hope this helps

Tell you a secret?

After 25 plus years in this game, I’ve never had anyone reach out to me asking “can you help me fix my metabolism”

It’s surface-level, superficial s**t and a problem that doesn’t exist

And my most successful clients, the one’s who are dreams to work with, and surpass their craziest goals with precise and deliberate action always reach out asking “how do we start”

They don’t care about nuances

They don’t care in buzz words, trend problems or the latest fads

They just want to WIN so they can keep winning in life!

I read (and commented) on an interesting post before

Where the majority of Aussie men dress don't dress like grown men
More like teenage boys

And it's why women don't respect them, and they set low standards for themselves

Well...

Zucks where the same grey tshirt every single day

Hormozi has made jorts, wife beaters, flanno's and nose strips a statement in itself

And Sam Ovens needs a haircut

As for me

I'm well out of a uniform (pic just for attention grabbing)

But if I could live in boardies, bare feet and a t-shirt (also insert gym or bike wear) daily I'd be a happy boy

All of which has ZERO negative impact on my ability to coach

In fact, it makes be MORE effective

Because I sat here in my lulu lemon or whatever it is, id feel fake and like a fraud

Bum life

Proud of it

Beware the illusions

And as the saying goes: "when the shirt comes off the bulls**t stops"

Check this out, this happened yesterday.

I launched a new Facebook ads campaign.

By 7am, I had my first message:

“Can I get started?”

I replied (from the gym):

“Definitely.”

That was followed by:

“Yay.”

“So I’m waiting…”

“I want a no-BS business chat.”

I told him to follow the prompts above as he clearly hadn’t read the message properly.

That’s when things went sideways.

He told me:

• He didn’t want automation

• Questioned why I was training at 7am

• Said I was lazy

• And that this “wasn’t a good start”

So I replied with a short video message.

And then…

Silence.

No reply.

No follow-up.

No action.

Which tells me everything I need to know.

He didn’t want to get started.

He wanted attention.

And this is exactly who I’m protecting my time from moving into 2026.

Here’s the truth:

You’re busy.

I’m busy.

There are only so many hours in the day.

And I’m choosing to reserve my time for high-performing men who:

• Respect structure

• Value 1:1 personalised coaching

• And are serious about results

Men who want to get fitter, leaner, and stronger using a proven system without guesswork.

Not men who want to argue with automation at 7am while I’m training.

So here’s the deal:

If you’re done playing small…

If you don’t want to be treated like a number in a generic, one-size-fits-all challenge…

You either do, or you don’t.

That part isn’t on me.

And if you’re not ready to take action no dramas at all.

But if you are ready to start today, with zero upfront, what I’m sharing on that page is genuinely life-changing.

And that’s priceless.

Here’s my NYR Fitness Tips to get you into the shape of your life in 2026

Stop doing the s**t that has kept you out of shape in 2025

And stop looking for a quick-fix, latest diet, training hack, niche supplement etc

Keep showing up consistently

And when you do show up, up your standards

Have a crack. Give it a go and try to make steady 1% improvement each day

Food wise, be an adult

No. You don’t need to go “carb free” or any other fear-mongering BS.

Sustainable results come down to changing your lifestyle within a sustainable approach so you keep showing up daily and winning weekly

You got this. If you want it and work for it

2025 has been a big year for me.

Personally.

Professionally.

I’ve invested heavily.

Learned a few new things.

And, more importantly, had a lot of what I already believed confirmed

And I’m ready to bring all of that into 2026.

Now, speaking of 2026…

I’m guessing your feed and inbox are already getting hammered with New Year fitness offers.

Big promises.

Flashy transformations.

Deals that sound a little too good to be true.

I get it.

And honestly, I’m not interested in playing that game.

After 25+ years in the fitness industry, and with trust at an all-time low, I’m done trying to convince anyone with hype.

I know what I stand for.

I know what works.

And I know what I deliver.

I’ve got the experience, the results, and the long-term clients to back it up.

So in 2026, I’m stripping things right back.

No gimmicks.

No inflated promises.

No pressure.

Instead, I’m making this simple and completely risk-free.

Start today - Pay $0 upfront.

If it’s right, great we move forward.

If it’s not, no harm done.

Sound fair?

The fat man comes to dance on Thursday

So, here’s a last-minute gift idea

This one isn’t for the kids of wife though…

>> https://www.physique-essentials.com/apply

And yes, indirectly it will massively benefit them

But when was the last time you gifted yourself?

Then again, optimal health shouldn’t be seen as a gift

Rather, it’s the STANDARD in which you shouldoperate

And you being your best is not only the best investment you can make for yourself

But also, for your family, your business and everything that gives you purpose

I’ve got some BIG changes coming in 2026

For now, this one is for those who cannot afford to wait and ready to get the jump on results!

I had a mate at the shop on Saturday ask me:

“What can I take to boost my metabolism?”

He said he’d been feeling flat and wanted a bit of a pick-me-up.

My answer was short and sharp:

Nothing.

Not because metabolism doesn’t matter

but because most blokes asking that question aren’t dealing with a metabolism issue.

They’re dealing with chaos.

The media will tell you your metabolism is broken.

The supplement industry will sell you a pill to “fix” it.

Influencers will push a magic workout designed just for you.

I’m more interested in why you feel sluggish in the first place.

When I asked him about his week, it made perfect sense.

A couple of days eating “well.”

Then a day barely eating at all.

Then a day of overeating.

Rinse and repeat… for years.

No structure.

No consistency.

No accountability.

So of course his energy is all over the place.

That’s not a broken metabolism; that’s a system doing exactly what it’s told.

My advice wasn’t revolutionary:

Eat properly.

Train with intent.

Sleep like it matters.

Stuff we all know.

But knowing isn’t the problem.

Ex*****on is.

That’s why the answer isn’t more information,

another supplement,

or waiting until January.

It’s committing to a standard and holding it.

Case in point: last week I dropped 2kg.

Not by slashing calories or smashing extra sessions.

Just tighter ex*****on.

Fewer unnecessary snacks.

More accountability.

And I let my body do what it’s designed to do when structure is in place.

If you’re the kind of man who’s already handling business in life

and you’re ready to bring that same standard to your body…

I’ve laid out exactly how I do that here:

If it resonates, you’ll know.

If it doesn’t, no hard feelings.

This isn’t about hype, hacks, or motivation.

It’s about results earned properly.

I chatted with a long time colleague today

He reached out after reading my last post that I had “f$cked up”

He’s known me for a long time, did business back in the day when we both had supplement stores and from the bodybuilding cycles

And he also shared that, a couple years back had thought of working with me, that I knew my s**t

But “something was off” and couldn’t put his finger on it

Not me personally or professionally, but in the “message”

I see the irony

Over the years I’ve penned hundreds of articles, been a columnist and writer for national magazines, health industry websites, free-reign to write on any topic I wished and those opportunities opened a lot of doors…

But it seems these days “I maybe don’t write that good” anymore 🤷‍♂️😆

Pfft. I’m ace!

My message has always been the same

Having worked with various coaches and courses for help with…

And more than ever still committed to finding that mastery

So when you do see something from me, you know exactly what I’m about, how I can help and whats on offer

Now the good news: the next plan is brewing so stay tuned 🏆
