You don’t need to live like a monk to get in shape

A healthy, balanced diet isn’t about cutting out every “bad” food ❌

It’s about building a foundation that’s so solid, a few treats don’t derail your progress ✅

If 80–90% of what you eat fuels your goals… the other 10–20% can feed your soul

That’s how you stay consistent long enough to actually see results — and keep them

Real discipline isn’t saying no to everything
It’s having then ability to enjoy a beer or dessert without taking it too far so you keep progressing 💪🏼

Should you even bother with weighing yourself?

The internet is a mixed bag when it comes to the scales

“The scales don’t matter”, “Tom lost 20kg”, “they’re bad for your mental wellbeing” etc.

The reality is that weighing yourself can give a good indication that you’re making progress

Especially when you consider that the changes you see in the mirror might not come until a 6, 8 or even 10 weeks down the line.
How do you know you’re making progress in the meantime?

The scales can give us a shorter term indication we’re making progress, which helps keep us motivated

But they don’t tell us EVERYTHING

What’s more important that the weight we lose, is the TYPE of weight we lose

We wanna make sure we’re losing body fat, through a calorie deficit, resistance training and a high protein diet

But because the scales don’t tell us the type of weight we lose or gain, it often leaves people frustrated

And there’s a number of reasons why the scale might not budge when you’ve been doing everything right

1️⃣ If you’ve ate later than usual the night before
2️⃣ More protein or fibre than usual

These things mean you might have more food in the digestive system

3️⃣ More salt or carbs than usual
4️⃣ Increasing your workout intensity/volume
5️⃣ Started taking creatine

These things make us retain more water

So even though the scales can be useful, it’s important to take what they say with a pinch to salt

What’s much more important than the number on the scale, is the habits you’re building

Control the inputs and the outputs will take care of themselves

After coaching over 100 men to get in shape (and speaking to many more about what’s holding them back), these are the things that’s holding them back from seeing the progress they want

They think eating “clean” will get them in shape ❌
Yes it’s great to eat foods that are full of vitamins and minerals for overall health, but your calorie deficit is gonna be what gets rid of the gut and love handles
Ideally, you wanna do both

They don’t follow a proper gym structure ❌
Going to the gym and doing something is definitely better than doing a whole lot of nothing and will get you to a certain level…but if you want to become the best version of you, you’ve gotta have a proper structure in place

They give up everytime life gets busy ❌
Those lads in the best shape, at least the natural ones, all have stuff going on in their lives - work is busy, social events, family emergencies etc. - they just have systems in place so when those things happen, they can still make progress

If you’re finally ready to fulfil your potential and step into the shoes of the man you know you can be, DM me the word “SYLO”

Callum was fairly new to the gym and didn’t have any real structure, he was just winging it

He played football growing up and it masked his poor food choices

But ever since stopping he’d, he’d put on weight and knew something needed to change

So we jumped on a zoom call…

We clearly defined his goal - lose 2.5 stone

We put a structure in place - a plan for him to follow, that allowed for social events at the weekend, and a proper plan to follow in the gym

And we continuously monitored his progress, seeing him get closer and closer to his goal each week

Now, smashing his goal and weighing in 41.2lbs lighter, he’s leaner and fitter than ever before

Clocking in multiple PB’s running racing events and in the gym

He’s built the confidence to feel his best in the clothes that he wears and on holiday

He’s got the energy to show up as the dad he wants to be for his little ones, being a positive role model

He’s a completely different man, both mentally and physically

Fitter, healthier & happier

Lads will train like prime Rocky Balboa in the gym…
Sweating buckets, smashing PBs, walking out like they’ve just cured obesity

Then go home and eat like a bin with opposable thumbs 🤦🏼‍♂️

“Bro I don’t get it, I train 5x a week and I’m still not losing fat.”
Yeah, because you’re burning 500 calories in the gym and eating 5,000 after 😭

You can’t out-train a bad diet — no matter how many sets of bicep curls you do

That’s why you’ll see some lads who’ve been ‘training for years’ still looking exactly the same

The truth is, getting in shape isn’t about training harder… it’s about training smart and actually sorting your diet out

You don’t need to eat chicken and broccoli out of a Tupperware like you’re prepping for Love Island

You just need structure, consistency, and to stop kidding yourself that “tracking a bit in your head” counts

Nail your nutrition, keep training hard, and suddenly your progress won’t feel like a such a riddle

Growing up, you masked your bad habits with playing sports every night

Now you work full time and have responsibilities, those bad habits are slapping you in the face

Your belly hangs over your trousers and you’re gassing out from taking the stairs

You tell yourself you’re just getting older but that’s not it
The truth is, you don’t have the right systems to fit the way you live

I help busy men get in athletic shape, without training like a full time athlete

With my in & out workout structure, you can finish up a gym session in no longer than 45 minutes

Coupled with a flexible dieting approach, I’ll show you how to get in shape whilst taking out the missus for a date night or enjoying a few beers with the lads

Just make sure to tap that follow button because my page is the blueprint to getting back in shape

You owe to your old self to realise your true potential

8 weeks ago, Ryan reached out feeling stuck

He’d always been an active guy - competitive & driven — but life had caught up with him

Between work & family, his training had lost structure

Motivation came in waves
He’d go all in for a few weeks, then burn out and fall back into old habits

What he really wanted was simple - shed the belly fat so we could see some abs, get lean and athletic and help improve his running for the great north run and over events coming up

But deeper than that — he wanted to feel like himself again
To be the best version of himself, not just for his own growth, but for his kids
To lead by example and show them what commitment looks like

Fast forward 8 weeks and he’s down 17.2lbs, looking lean, confident, and in control

The biggest win hasn’t just been the physical change — it’s the mindset shift

He’s gone from all-or-nothing thinking, inconsistency & anxiety around training…
To structure, accountability, and steady progression week after week

Now, we’re shifting into a lean building phase — pushing strength, performance, and muscle growth to build on this foundation

This is what happens when you stop chasing perfection and start building momentum

Proud of this man — and we’re just getting started 🚀📈

23lbs DROPPED AROUND CHRISTMAS & BIRTHDAYS 📉

When I first spoke to Mark, he needed to get into better shape for betterment of his health

He’d tried before but was always inconsistent with his approach

And meant he would yo-yo diet - gaining and losing the same weight over and over again

After 16 weeks of providing him with the knowledge to eat foods he loved, showing him how to navigate any weekend socials and holding him accountable to becoming consistent

He’s in the best shape he’s ever been in and even more impressive, he’s now in the best place mentally

We don’t rise to the level our goals, we fall to the level of our habits

Yes, it’s great to be ambitious

But unless you consistently and habitually carry out the actions that drive you towards your goals

Then they’ll forever remain a dream

But if you can couple ambition and action

You’ll become unstoppable 💪🏼

Where to start!?

I genuinely believe that you can solve the majority of your problems by getting in shape

If you can look in the mirror and be proud of what you see, that’ll fill you with a confidence to go about your day, performing your best 📈

Not only that, but the lessons you learn whilst getting in shape - the discipline, the consistency - are traits you can use to level up all areas of your life 🚀

Expand your knowledge and learn new things to evoke inspiration

And always find your “why” and become hyper-fixated on that when perusing your goal
