When first came to me, he had no interest in stepping on stage. 👀

Such a familiar story.
His goals were simply to get into a good place with his training and build confidence in going to the gym.

Yet, like many, as he found his place and his physique changed, he found that burning desire to see where he could push it. We had already created the plans to fit his lifestyle and work balance.
We went through phases of pushing weight up and dieting down, and absolutely nailed his prep in 2025, securing a much-sought-after invitation to the Finals.

Tom shows what can be done when you have the passion and patience to serve your time in the gym.

Your starting point doesn't determine your end goal.

What you do between those points is what counts.
started with me having already established a great work ethic and enjoyment for training.

What we needed was better structure and a plan he could just execute.
We upped his food and created better balance with his training plan. Making if fit in with his existing martial arts schedule, family and work commitments.

When your busy you need structure to ensure your not letting anything slip.

Does this sound like you.

Apply for coaching in my Bio to see how better structure can help you.

BOYS DAY OUT

In-person check-in with .h_fitness

The value of working with a client for so long is immeasurable.
We are embarking on our third competitive season, spread out over six years of working together.

This enables me to really understand Lucy and know exactly what she needs from me as a coach.
I have earned her trust and have seen her flourish and mature as an athlete and person.

Her work ethic is undeniable, and it shows in her physique.

I'm excited to see this season unfold. She will be bloody awesome! 👌🏼

3 things you must do this prep:

Focus on yourself and stop thinking about what others are doing. What others are doing has no reflection on your prep.

Listen to one person. Your coach should be the only person you're listening to. Others may want to voice an opinion, and it often comes from a good place. Yet, too many voices will confuse you and lead you to second-guess things.

Communicate. You should already have a great relationship with your coach; that trust and understanding should be strong enough to have a high level of communication. But it goes both ways. You should be on the same page. Use it to help both of you.
