Reach Online Fat Loss Programme

Reach Online Fat Loss Programme No fads. No nonsense. Just sustainable results. See for yourself www.reachfatloss.com

I help people to lose weight, tone up, improve their health and lifestyle, and get the RESULTS they want in a sustainable, healthy way! My approach to Nutrition Coaching is:

Friendly, down-to-earth and informal
Science and evidence driven

Realistic for real people (fit round work, family, friends)

Empathetic (your goals, not mine)

Clients usually get in touch with me for one of two reasons, either:

1: They’ve tried many other diets, fads etc and they’ve struggled to get sustainable results.

2: They want to make some changes in their lifestyle and are looking for sensible, achievable results.

When life smashes you to bits, you can either crumble or find a way to be strong.

Life can be hard…

But when it gets hard, you’ll prioritise the things that are important to you.

One of the things I’ve learned over 20 years of fitness is that doing a little bit of something help more than many people think.

You can tell the people who really prioritise training when life gets difficult - they are doing a few press ups, squats or whatever because it’s not all or nothing for them.

They understand that a set of pullups in the living room or a set of press ups in the kitchen contribute way more than most people think, because it’s not about smashing it for 8 weeks.

So, if you’re struggling at the moment…

If you can’t handle the gym, or pressure of a 60 minute training session…

Just getting down and doing a few press ups on the living room floor or a set of squats with the kids (who will probably think it’s fun to do it with you) a few times a week will contribute to your health and fitness so much more than you probably think it will!!!

Seriously, for the average person, just doing
10 squats 3 times a week whilst watching TV, over the next year, will have such a big impact on your strength and health!! ❤️🙏🏻

That’s 150 squat sessions! It’s 1500 squats!

Seriously, take 30 seconds a few times a week to do the basics and it will have more impact than you could ever dream of.

This has been the case for probably 20 years now. I don’t have any elbow issues, but they click lots on press ups. It’s a deep, bassy click the resonates through the floorboards 🥁.

I absolutely love .co.uk

You could eat these curries every single day and get in amazing shape - these guys make it so simple.

It’s just spices, chicken, onions and tomatoes.

This chicken jalfrezi uses a bit of olive oil to sweat the onions but (if you’re being really calorie-conscious) you could make it with no oil.

The Spice Is Right is a blend of spices that saves you faffing about yourself or resorting to ultra-processed supermarket sauces.

The company is owned by an Asian family, so the flavours are absolutely spot on 😍👌

For the past 10 years or so, I’ve had a cupboard full of different The Spice Is Right spice blends.

My fave is the Pathia, so I usually buy two or three of these at a time, but I’ve currently run out (again), so I need to order more!

Honestly, there’s no need to eat boring, bland food. These are easy to make, healthy and delicious!

Eat like a king or queen and get into amazing shape with The Spice Is Right!

…and guess what - I’m not even getting paid for this post. It’s not a sponsored post and I’ve never even spoken to the company. I just think they are brilliant 👏

Necessity is the mother of invention.

Blast from the past today with this daft little weighted knee raise hack…

I came up with this when I used to train on my own at DW (now Everlast). I needed to grab a dumbbell between my feet to add weight to my hanging knee raises but had no one to help me.

Felt a bit silly doing it after all these years but once I tried it again it reminded me of why I did it in the first place!

If you want to do something then just find a way to do it and don’t worry if it looks a bit daft (no one will think your results are daft!)

Hanging knee raises can be annoying if you’re using a dumbbell because, if you pick it up from the floor, you end up hitting the floor with the weight.

And if you use a higher pull-up bar, it’s really difficult to get a decent grip of the dumbbell with your feet.

A simple solution is to build a little tower/support with another dumbbell and then knock it over once you’ve got a decent grip so it doesn’t get in the way.

I ended up doing over 200 hanging knee raises today. Plus loads of hollow rocks and just a few ab mat sit ups. Sneezing / coughing might be a bit interesting in a couple of days 😬🤣😭

So many women prefer the before picture to the after picture.

The narrative is that he looks more “manly” in the first picture.

As a man who has been through the spectrum of fitness and helped loads of other people to improve their fitness, it makes me laugh when people say the first picture is more “manly”.

In fact, it doesn’t make me laugh, it annoys me.

It’s like saying that if you’re not a pathetic, skinny, compliant female, then you’re not “womanly”. It’s about 50 years out of date!!

I’ve made a career out of helping both men and women achieve their potential without the constraints of social norms, so the narrative on this particular celebrity picture really pi**es me off.

If you think being “manly” is being a burly, overweight barrel then fair enough but, as a man, I totally disagree.

I don’t know Olly’s particular set up but I can tell you from the men and women I’ve worked with, the sort of person in the after picture will smash the before person out of the ring.

They will be able to…
Run further
Run faster
Lift more weight
Have more energy
Last longer
Do more pull ups
Have fewer joint problems
Carry their own body weight better

I’ve got no problem with anyone fancying what they fancy, but to say the first picture
is more “manly” is basically regressing what it means to be a man 20 or 30 years.

If you fancy the 1970s version of a man where bulk and mass are mistaken for physical capability that’s fair enough.

Similarly, if you’re attracted to compliant,
timid women who know their place, with no strength or physical drive, and are happy for the great big hefty bloke to do everything for them, physically, I’m not here to convince anyone otherwise.

My personal opinion is that I think it’s ridiculous.

I’ve trained LOADS of men and women, on an equal footing, and to say someone is more manly because they are a bit fatter is just ridiculous. To say someone is more womanly because they have a few curves and have a Kardashian arse, or because they are a size 6 model dress is just ridiculous. The same logic applies to men.

Can we just get a grip, please. It’s 2026.

This is probably the time that I had the least amount of spare time, young kids to look after, not much money, stress levels so high… everything set up against me.

But I was actually in decent shape because it was important to me!

I’ve been there and done it for over 20 years…

Training at home on my own, trying not to be (in my own eyes) a fat, useless 💩 .

Getting the bug and trying to train around building a career and raising young kids.

Training in mainstream gyms.
Training in freezing cold dirty warehouses.

Having loads of motivation.
Having very little motivation.

But it’s always been a part of my life for the past 20 years or so.

The people who are the best in this industry have a bit of a natural talent, but they are really consistent. They don’t have any ups and downs. Nothing really ever changes.

For the people who are not particularly invested, it comes and goes in waves. A few years on and a few years off, depending on what’s happening in life.

For the rest of us, IF ( and IF is a very big word here)

IF it’s important, it’s just trying to find a way to make it work today.

You don’t have to be at your best. All you need to do is keep chipping away.

Don’t fear carbs. If anything, fear food that’s been refined so much by psychologists and scientists that you can’t stop eating it because it tastes flipping amazing. It’s not the carbs…plenty of carbs in my breakfast, here.

Yorkshire puddings are not particularly calorie dense and you can make them with a few simple ingredients. There’s absolutely no reason to cut them out if your goal is long-term, sustainable fat loss or maintaining the body you want (unless you don’t like them)

As soon as you get over 35, they start calling you a veteran. I didn’t start running until I was 34 🙈🤣. Couple of steep hills today. Be interesting to see what I can do on a flat course these days…

120kg front squat.

I’m not built for squatting. I’m not really very good at it. But I have a go and I get low. Do the best you can. That’s all anyone can ask.
