Matthew didn’t sign up after his first consultation.

He walked away and carried on doing what he thought was right.

Training most days. Putting the hours in. Trying harder than ever… and still barely seeing progress.

We see this all the time.

People are working hard. More sessions. More hours.

But also more frustration.

Four weeks later, he came back.

This time ready to stop guessing and follow a proper plan.

Since then, he’s dropped over 24kg, built real strength, learned how to train and eat properly, and most importantly, his confidence has completely changed.

Not just in the gym. In himself.

Sometimes it’s not about doing more.

It’s about finally doing the right things with the right structure & support.

Come and see some of the changes we’ve made at Pioneer Performance.

January gets a bad rep.

People say it’s cliché. That starting now never lasts. That you should “wait until things calm down”.

But after working with hundreds of clients over the years, we’ve seen something very different.

The people who make their biggest, most sustainable changes often start now.

Not because they’re more motivated.

Not because they go all-in with some extreme plan.

But because they approach things differently from day one with us.

They don’t chase quick fixes.

And they don’t try to overhaul their entire life in a week.

They embody a few simple behaviours that quietly compound over time… and that’s what actually changes everything.

If you want 2026 to be the year things finally stick, swipe through.

These are the 10 things our most successful clients consistently do that set them up for long-term results.

Gary had tried group PT, 1-to-1 coaching before coming to see us…

But he found that his progress had stalled, and if he was being honest, the gym still felt like a puzzle for him.

Couple this with a complex long-term back nerve issue…

He needed support from someone who understood the body, worked with physios, and could build a plan that protected progress instead of risking flare-ups.

This is when he reached out to us for help & started working with our coach, Sam.

18 months later, it’s clear that leap paid off.

* Two stone lighter

* Stronger body, better recovery

* Improved running and rising VO₂ max

* Confidence in the weights section instead of confusion

* More focused and productive training sessions despite his ongoing nerve issue.

Some of the biggest wins Gary’s had since working with Sam weren’t just physical, they were structural.

Sam sat in on Gary’s physio appointments and kept close contact with his Physiotherapist between sessions.

Building a programme that considered his trapped nerve while still driving progress.

Add regular check-ins, nutrition and lifestyle support, plus hotel-gym guidance when he travels for work.

This meant that Gary finally found the consistency and backing he needed to move forward stronger and no longer stuck.

Complex issues don’t need to stop your progress.

You just need the right person to support you.

Alot of people think results require long sessions, weekend boot camps, intense “shreds,” or 6 week challenges.

It sounds productive. But it’s mostly just noise.

Real progress comes from training smarter, less sessions, more focused training, done consistently, with the right plan.

Richard wasn’t new to training, he enjoyed it.

But after cvid, life filled every spare gap, his routine slipped, and 10+ hours a week in a gym just wasn’t realistic anymore.

That’s where most people go wrong,
doing more of what looks intense, instead of what actually works.

Richard wanted a plan built around his real life:

Fitness to keep up with his young boys

To feel back in control

To play football weekly without the injury fear

Structure and accountability, without the time drain

He could only commit 2 hours a week in the gym, plus 30-minute home sessions when he could.

14 weeks later:

8kg down

Muscle, strength, mobility all improved

Energy and confidence up

A dad who can sprint around and kick a ball without paying for it the next day

Fewer injuries in 5-a-side too, another win from training properly, not just more.

Working with our coach Nathan, he’s delivered a brilliant transformation in a short, realistic window.

Proof that results don’t come from having more time, they come from doing it the smart way.

Next focus?

More muscle. More shape. More progress.

Well done, Richard!

Fantastic work , done right. 👏🏼👏🏼

Jonathan’s 59 years old, and he’s in better shape now than he ever was in his 20s or 30s.

That didn’t start with motivation.
 It started with a moment that a lot of people will recognise.

Jonathan would get changed, grab his gym kit, walk up to the doors… and then turn around and go home.

No confidence.

No self-belief.

Just his thoughts, “This isn’t for me, I can’t do this”

Fast forward a few years, and everything’s different.

Jonathan has lost over 30kg, rebuilt his strength, and completely changed how he feels in himself.

He’s back to wearing the bright clothes he’d stopped wearing years ago.

He’s stronger in day-to-day life and feels all the “little things” that tell you life is easier now he’s in a better position.
 Jonathan didn’t start in his 20s. 
He didn’t even start in his 30s or 40s.

Jonathan started in his mid-50s.

Now he’s in a better position to support his elderly dad, keep doing the things that bring joy to him and his partner, and protect his quality of life well into his 60s, 70s and beyond.

And everyone at Pioneer Performance is incredibly proud of him. 
With the support of his coach, Dan, he gained consistency, the courage to start, and the commitment to himself over the long term are exactly what we are all about.

Well done Jonathan 👏🏼👏🏼

What could you look and feel like 90 days from now?

If you’ve been spinning your wheels in the gym, eating “healthy” but not seeing changes, or just feeling stuck… It’s not you, it’s your approach.

Our 90-Day Transformation takes away the guesswork.
 You’ll work 1-to-1 with your own Pioneer Performance coach who’ll design everything: training, nutrition, and even your cardio, to get you the best possible results in the shortest time.

No one-size-fits-all plan.
 No crash diets.
 No endless HIIT circuits.

Just proven methods, tailored to you, with the accountability to make sure you actually follow through.

The result?
 Most of our clients who have weight loss goals typically see a reduction of 12–16% of their body weight in 90 days.
 With an increase in muscle mass, strength and confidence
 Not to mention, picking up skills in training & nutrition that can help you to keep results for life.

Ready to see what’s possible?
 Comment ‘transformation’ below, and we’ll message you the next steps.

“It was now or never.”
 Max had thought about getting help for ages, but kept putting it off.
 Life got in the way. Confidence wasn’t there.
 And deep down, he wasn’t sure if it would work.
 When he reached out to us he decided to take a chance.
 And everything has changed!

15kg down, but more importantly, he feels in control, confident, and clear on where he’s heading.

This is what can happen when you stop waiting and just start.
