Most people don’t need a better pre-workout… they need to stop training like everything else in their life is out of whack.

You can’t out-scoop poor sleep.
You can’t stim your way past a s**t diet.
You can’t fake intensity when you’re under-recovered.

Pre-workout isn’t the foundation ➡️ it’s the cherry on top. 🍒

Dial in the basics and you won’t need to rely on a tub to feel “switched on” every session.

I'm a classic overachiever and I used to wear burnout like a badge.

💪🏽 Train hard.
🧑‍💻 Work more.
🫨 Push through.
👭 Be there for everyone.

But behind that… I was running on empty.

This isn’t just recovery for me.
🙇🏻 It’s regulation.
🧑‍🚀 It’s space to think.
🧘 It’s where I actually check in with myself.

Because if I’m cooked, distracted, or mentally fried…
🧑‍🚒 I’m not the coach I want to be.
👯 Not the partner I want to be.
🫡 Not the man I respect.

Self-care isn’t soft.
It’s responsibility.

Most people don’t need more discipline.
They need to stop abandoning themselves.

What’s something you know helps you…
but you keep putting off?

Not trying to be a d*ck… but come on.

One hour a week isn’t the reason you’re not seeing results.

It’s everything outside of it.

🍗 What you eat.
🪑 How much you move.
💤 How often you can’t be fkd and skip it.

Most people treat PT like it cancels out the rest of their week.

It doesn’t.

You don’t need more sessions.
You need to stop switching off the other 167 hours.

That’s it.

Remember this...

Your entire life will change when you realise that you don't have to feel good or be in the mood to do things that you said you'd do.

Do it any way...

It's not like everyone who is fit feels like going to the gym every time... but they do it any way.

It's not like everyone who offers a favour to a friend feels like coming through... but they do it any way.

It's not like early risers spring out of bed everyday when their alarm goes off at 5am... but they do it any way.

That's the difference. Just do it any way.

2️⃣0️⃣ mins of low impact cardio won't kill you...

On the contrary, it will help you achieve your desired outcome that you came to me for help with.

Low-impact cardio is ideal because it boosts heart health and burns calories while minimising stress on joints, ligaments, and bones.

By keeping at least one foot on the ground it reduces injury risk, making it ideal for beginners, seniors, or those with joint pain. 🚶

It also promotes active recovery and improves flexibility.

And just know... I'm not being mean. I'm out here doing 90 minute sessions and leading by example. Just like any good coach should do! 💓

Most people think coaching is just programming and check-ins.

It’s not. It’s emotional investment.

The perfect plan still won't work if it’s not followed.

Ex*****on beats intention. Every bloody time.

As coaches, we carry both sides of the equation:
🫡 Responsibility for the plan
🫨 And emotional weight when it’s not followed

But results?
That’s a shared contract. 📩

If you’re working with a coach right now, ask yourself honestly:
Are you actually meeting them where they are…
or expecting results from effort you’re not giving?

Sam came to me wanting to trim down and tone up. As a tradie, he works some long active hours, so the plan wasn't to flog him in the gym 6 days a week, but to develop a plan that suited his lifestyle.

How we did it:
👉🏻 targeted 10-12k steps a day (easy given his active job)
👉🏻 3x full body workout's p/wk
👉🏻 Tasty nutrition that supported his goals and kept him adherent

The outcome:
🫡13kg down and the photos to prove it!

Follow the plan, get the results.
Don't follow the plan, you won't get the results

🤷‍♂️ Pretty simple right?!

Vitamin D is important.
Supplementing it blindly isn’t.

In Australia, during spring and summer (and even autumn), many people can maintain healthy vitamin D levels with:
👉️ ~5–15 minutes of sun
👉️ 2–3x per week
👉️ Face, arms, hands exposed
👉️ Outside peak UV hours

But context always matters:
👉🏾 Darker skin = may need more exposure
👉🏾 Indoor lifestyle = higher risk of low levels
👉🏾 Winter = different equation
👉🏾 Confirmed deficiency = different approach

The issue isn’t the supplement.
It’s prescribing it without checking if it’s needed.

Good coaching = context.
Not copy-paste.

Most people don’t need a better plan.
They need better standards.

You don’t get results from doing things when it’s convenient.
You get results from doing what’s required... consistently.

Not perfectly.
Not all the time.
But enough to move the needle.

If you’re serious about your goal, your actions have to reflect it.

Most people have a financial plan for retirement…

Few have a physical one.

We hope our body holds up.
We assume we’ll “be fine.”
We tell ourselves we’ll deal with it later.

But later is when it costs the most.

Strength isn’t just about looking good now (although that's nice 😜)... it’s your independence later.

Your ability to get off the floor.
Carry your own groceries.
Stay out of a hospital bed.

You wouldn’t leave your finances to chance…
So why are you doing it with your body?

Train like your future depends on it.
Because it does.

Most people don’t need more workouts. They need more accountability.

I’ve coached both in-person and online and this isn’t even close.

When you’re only seeing a coach for 1 hour a week, you’re missing the 95% that actually drives results:

🍗 What you eat
🛌 How you recover
🌳 Your habits when no one is watching

In-person training is great for:
✔ Beginners
✔ Learning technique
✔ Building confidence

But if your goal is real, lasting results, you need:

👷 Structure outside the gym
🧾 Daily accountability
📊 Someone actually tracking your progress

That’s what online coaching solves.

This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about doing what actually matters.

If you’re done spinning your wheels and want real coaching - DM me “COACHING”.
