They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

1️⃣ They Normalise Average
“You’re fine as you are.” No, they just don’t want to feel uncomfortable. When everyone’s coasting, excellence looks extreme.

2️⃣ They Pressure You to Stay the Same
“Go on mate, just one pint.” Your discipline exposes their lack of it and they’ll do anything to pull you back into comfort.

3️⃣ They Mock Progress
“Hitting the gym again, don’t be boring.” It’s not banter it’s insecurity. You levelling up reminds them they haven’t. Real mates clap when you win.

4️⃣ Every Plan Involves Booze or Food
No one suggests a coffee, gym, or hike. If your weekends revolve around pints and takeaways. That’s going to show on your waistline

5️⃣ They Don’t Want You to Change
Your growth highlights their stagnation. Fake mates guilt-trip you for improving, 1️⃣ They Normalise Average
“You’re fine as you are.” No — they just don’t want to feel uncomfortable. When everyone’s coasting, excellence looks extreme.

2️⃣ They Pressure You to Stay the Same
“Go on mate, just one pint.” Your discipline exposes their lack of it — and they’ll do anything to pull you back into comfort.

3️⃣ They Mock Progress
“Look at you, gym lad.” It’s not banter — it’s insecurity. You levelling up reminds them they haven’t. Real mates clap when you win.

4️⃣ Every Plan Involves Booze or Food
No one suggests a walk, gym, or hike. And if your weekends revolve around pints and takeaways… so will your waistline.

5️⃣ They Don’t Want You to Change
Your growth highlights their stagnation. Fake mates guilt-trip you for improving, real ones hold you accountable. Even call you out on your s**t.

6️⃣ They’re Not Going Where You’re Headed
Look at their direction: are they becoming fitter, sharper, more disciplined? Or heavier, lazier, more comfortable?

You become the average of who you spend time with.

If they’re not moving forward, neither will you.

Hence why I’m on a mission to build a community of men that are sick or average, want more from life and want to pull others up not tear them down.

It's you're constantly starting again on Monday, that's the exact reason you're not making progress

Don't turn one bad day into a bad week.

It won't always go to plan, but starting again Monday is like slashing the rest of your tyres after getting a puncture in one.

Happy Birthday to the most caring, loving and beautiful woman. Who, I am fortunate enough to call my girlfriend



My reason why, the lady to keeps me on the straight & narrow and inspires me to push forward.

She calls me out on my s**t, laughs at my stupid jokes and puts up with me goofing around. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Our in house rockstar Jude, who has overcome more personal battles than anyone should see in a lifetime.

Everything she mentions I hear daily from potential clients

"I know what to do, I'm just not doing it"

"I just need more motivation"

"Group classes"

When in actual fact what you need is a system in place that works for you, structure and sticking to something with consistency.

Training hard but still not seeing the results in the mirror?

Here’s why you’re stuck…

If “just do more” worked, you’d already be shredded.

Here’s some facts you can’t ignore:

You can’t out-train a poor diet.
You can’t keep hammering sessions with zero strategy.
You can’t expect results if you’re constantly under fuelling, over stressing, and doing the same sh*t on repeat.

Most people who are stuck are making one (or all) of these mistakes:

❌ You think you’re in a deficit, but you’re not.
❌ Your nutrition doesn’t fuel performance, it tanks it.
❌ You rely on random workouts and short-term motivation.
❌ You’ve been following a routine you found online

More effort isn’t the answer.

A structured system is.

The guys I coach get leaner, stronger, and sharper because, they stop guessing and start following a plan built to work.

Ready to break the cycle?

Drop me a DM with the word “LEAN” and I’ll show you how to build a body you’re proud of, without wasting time in the gym.

Throwback to putting the gang from through their paces.

Military skills, teamwork and a good thrashing made for a great day.

I’m going to be straight with you.

If you’re unhappy with your current physique and you’re not active doing anything about it.

You’re choosing to stay that way.

You can blame any multitude of reasons but when that’s all said and done. The work still needs doing
