Who’s coaching you

I’ve been the one starting over.

I lost 55kg. Not in a challenge, not on a shake — by eating the same few meals, lifting three nights a week, and walking on the days I couldn’t be bothered doing anything else.

The plan that works is the boring one you’re still doing in six months.

That’s what I coach. A program built around the equipment you actually have and the hours you can actually train, then a check-in every week to keep it honest. No 5am cold plunges, no supplements you can’t pronounce, no shame when a week goes badly.

What you get

Four things, every week.

Built for you and adjusted as you go. It’s coaching — not a PDF you download once and never open again.

  1. A program written for you

    Around your equipment, your training days, and the injuries or limits you tell me about. Rewritten as you get stronger.

  2. Nutrition you’ll follow

    Targets, not a menu. Food you already like, portions you can repeat, and a way to track them that takes two minutes a day.

  3. Weekly check-ins

    You send weight, photos and how the week went. I send what changes for the next one — so nothing drifts for a month before anyone notices.

  4. Someone in your corner

    Message me when you’re stuck, travelling, sick, or when the week fell apart. Getting back on is the skill worth coaching.

The protocol

What I do myself.

Yours won’t be identical — it gets built for you — but this is the shape of it, and proof I’m not asking you to do anything I don’t.

Day A

  • Weighted push-ups3 × failure
  • Weighted lunges3 × 12.5kg
  • Dumbbell rows3 × failure
  • Leg raises3 × failure

Three nights a week, 9:00–9:50 PM, alternating. Every set taken to failure. Never two hard days back to back.

The same few meals on repeat, cooked once for the week — and eaten with people, not alone at the bench. That last one matters more than the macros.

Questions

Before you book.

Do I need a gym?

No. A pair of dumbbells and a floor is enough to write you a program. If you have a full gym, even better — I’ll use it.

I’ve never trained before. Is that a problem?

No — that’s the normal starting point, and it’s the one I started from myself. The program is written for where you are now rather than where someone else is, and it gets rewritten as you get stronger.

Do I have to eat chicken and rice?

No. You get targets, not a menu — built from food you already like and portions you can repeat. The same few meals on repeat is what works, but they should be meals you’d choose anyway.

What happens on the free call?

Thirty minutes, no pitch. I ask what you’ve tried before, what equipment and hours you actually have, and what you’re after. Then we work out whether this is the right fit — and if it isn’t, I’ll tell you.

How do the check-ins work?

Once a week you send your weight, a few photos and how the week went. I send back what changes for the next one, so nothing drifts for a month before anyone notices.
