All credit to Tony for taking responsibility for his health and fitness in the past 7 years 👏👏👏

In 2019 Tony was 21 and a half stone, low in energy, struggling playing tennis and with poor health overall..

Fast forward to 2025 and Tony is 6 stone lighter, moving around the tennis court much easier, and has great levels of all round fitness..

Tony was inspired to lose weight by his tennis friends who encouraged him to start in the gym..

Tony loves racket sports and plays tennis and padel frequently, does cardio tennis and circuits in the gym at David Lloyd..

Tony reached out to me in July because he wanted to make sure he was maintaining and building muscle as he continues in his weight loss journey..

Tony values his long term health, his family and is supported by his wife who is also involved in fitness and has made lifestyle changes too..

Tony and his wife do circuit training together which has helped both of them with consistency and progress..

Tony is honest and tells me that strength training isn’t his favourite form of exercise!.

Yet he’s been incredibly consistent and has achieved some great results such as being able to perform 12 full range of movement strict push-ups on the floor..

Tony has visibly built the muscles in his arms and legs and photos in the near future will show this 👀

Tony struggles with arthritis in his knee, yet he’s increased his box squat from 20kg to 70kg for reps!

Building muscle has been key for Tony both for long term joint health, and also for improved body composition and health as he continues to lose weight.

All credit to Tony for the weight loss he’s achieved!

And also to Tony for committing to doing things he doesn’t enjoy, but knows are important to his goals!

Tony surrounds himself with supportive and active people, whether at David Lloyd, Padel, or here at Strong For Life..

This has proved key to Tony’s success, alongside his positive mindset to take responsibility for his health.

Well done Tony! It’s a pleasure to continue working with you!👏👏💪💪

My biggest regret in the gym..

Is not seeking professional advice and accountability from the start..

In the photo on the left I was completely winging it back in 2011..

There was very little video instruction online back then, just videos from elite lifters who were moving ridiculous weights! 😅

To be honest I have no idea how I didn’t seriously injure myself by trying to lift weights that were way too heavy for my ability with poor form!

I created multiple bad technical habits that became so much harder to correct once I did reach out for help!

I was completely unaware of my strengths and weaknesses, prerequisite positions I was unable to achieve, mobility required etc!

The crazy part is that this went on for a good three years!

I made progress but if I’d have reached out for help sooner, I’d have improved so much quicker!

I wasted vital peak physical years by going it alone!

Once I hired a coach who specialised in helping people achieve the goals I wanted to achieve, my progress grew rapidly..

I became aware of my weaknesses and was given a plan to bring these up to par with my strengths..

I surrounded myself with people who had achieved the goals I wanted to, and trained in a positive environment..

It took me way out of my comfort zone, but it’s exactly what I needed to improve..

So my advice to anyone who has a real desire to achieve a goal is to get all the help you need..

World class athletes work with coaches and do everything they can to improve..

Yet so many non-athletes believe they already know what they’re doing in and out of the gym can reach their potential on their own (like I mistakenly did!)..

Your goals don’t need to be to reach the Olympics, or even to be the strongest lifter in your gym..

Investing in a good coach will be the most valuable decision you’ll make if you’re serious about reaching close to your potential 👏

Husein proves that prioritising our health and fitness gives us energy rather than takes it away from us..

Even with unpredictable shifts and barely any spare time, he created structure..
.and lost 18kg while gaining focus, confidence, and fitness to play sports, go on hikes and explore Europe..

You don’t need perfect conditions. You need consistency and support.

Comment “ENERGY” below and I will send you a full 10-minute video analysis of how Husein achieved these astonishing results against the odds..

Or DM “COACHING” to start your own success story 💪

Swipe across to learn about Gavin’s progress so far..

If you are a high-achieving business owner or professional and are struggling to prioritise your health and fitness..

Gav shows just how it’s done..

It continues to be a pleasure working with Gav..

Navigating the challenges of running a busy business and being a dad to two young children can be tough..

Most people in a similar situation struggle to prioritise their own needs, but credit to Gav for taking action and sticking with it!

It’s not been easy and there have been times of frustration and lack of progress..

But Gav has worked hard to prioritise himself and has shown incredible perseverance to get back to the plan..

The results speak for themselves..

Not just the progress photos but in so many key areas of Gav’s life..

And the brilliant thing about all of this..

Is that Gav is just getting started!

He’s early in his journey when it comes to strength training and lifestyle changes!

There’s an incredible amount of potential for continued success!

Well done Gav! 👏👏👏
