WHY I’LL NEVER PROMISE A CLIENT A SIX-PACK
(and why you should question any coach who does)

We’re naturally comparative. But in fitness, we often compare ourselves to the most extreme examples—those shredded, dehydrated, camera-ready physiques that only exist for a few hours during a photoshoot or film scene.

No one walks around looking like that and functions normally. It’s not real life.

If we don’t understand what we’re actually looking at, we develop expectations that aren’t achievable or sustainable. Social media shows the final image—not the cost, not the sacrifice, not the health trade-offs.

And often, when someone says they want a six-pack, it’s not really about health—it’s about status. It becomes a trophy. A signal.
But unlike cars, houses, or designer clothes, you can’t buy a six-pack. You pay for it in sleep, stress, discipline, time, energy, and lifestyle change.

If most people understood the true cost of maintaining extreme leanness, they wouldn’t want to purchase it.

So when a man in his 30s or 40s asks for a six-pack, the real conversation begins:
How much of your current lifestyle are you willing to sacrifice?
How will this affect your family, your energy, your relationships, your health?
Is it something you truly want—or something you think you should want?

Because your environment, habits, and influences shape your results more than any workout program.

But here’s the alternative—the one that actually works long-term:

Focus on improving health first.
As a byproduct, you’ll get leaner, stronger, more muscular, fitter, and more energised.
And that version of you sets a far more powerful example for your family than a set of abs ever will.

Training 45–60 minutes, 2–3 times per week is realistic.
It’s sustainable.
And given enough time, it creates real change—the kind that lasts and the kind your kids can look up to.

The six-pack might be the grand gesture, but consistency is the real hero.

Be that hero.

If you’re ready to take the first step toward a healthier, stronger 2026, I can show you how.

We are pre-programmed by our modern environment to put time limits on most, if not everything we do, “2 weeks to a new you, detox plan” “6 weeks to shredded” “eat yourself thin in “X” amount of weeks”

Trust me it’s all B.S…

Let me explain, would you recommend one of those companies that advertise those dodgy quick fix money loans to a friend in financial difficulty.

No of course you wouldn’t, because you can see they would only end up in a worsting situation and paying back 3 to 4 times the price in the long run, if at all.

Well your health and diet is exactly the same and this coming Christmas and New Year many people will fall into that same honey trap as last year and invest their time,effort and hard earned cash in the “quick Fix” that false promise and their body and pocket will end up paying the price.

If you really want to make a real change this year consider something different, consider a different approach, consider Storm Bodyfitness...

If you want to fight against the B.S. of the “detox” “miracle elixirs” and fake fitness “Vampires” who’s main priorities seem to be focused on parting you with your hard earned cash, without any real consideration for your long term health then consider a different approach one that yes might take a bit more time and effort but has the capability to be life changing.

Just consider it

Staying consistent at the weekend is the biggest challenge for most people over 40 with a lot of commitments.

The goal isn’t perfection, it’s control.

A simple plan, one daily movement anchor and a deliberate approach to treats can keep your progress moving forward without feeling restricted.

REMEMBER Small, repeatable actions win every time.

...NUTRITION TIP....

Tests have found that those who consumed more vinegar in their diet in general lose more body fat:

Research on the effects of vinegar’s on fat metabolism, weight loss and appetite show vinegar has an affect on complex carbohydrate metabolism, blood sugar and insulin levels.

The source of vinegar varies between studies.
There are three possible mechanisms:

Vinegar increases basal metabolism so you burn (oxidize) more fat. It decreases appetite by causing a feeling of fullness (satiety) throughout the day so you eat less. It affects carbohydrate digestion, absorption and metabolism.

How it effects your Metabolism and Weight

There are studies showing that acetic acid, the main component of vinegar, reduces body fat and weight by regulating fat metabolism. They say it, Increases metabolism of fat cells so you burn more. Basically, it revs up genes that regulate enzymes that break down fat cells (lipolysis)

It also turns down genes that regulate enzymes for the formation of fat (lipogenesis). The result is the body deposits less fat and uses up more so you lose weight.

But to play devils advocate… you could also argue those people who had more vinegar each day also were more likely to have consumed more salad and less processed foods as part of their daily diet haha

but look it’s all relevant and as I always say to our clients there isn’t one food that’s going to make a huge difference it’s more about our consistency of choices.
