I didn’t change my body because I hated it.

I changed it because I wanted to live.

To feel energy again.

To wake up proud.

Punishment doesn’t last

But self-respect?

That’ll carry you through anything.

That’s the kind of work we do inside REVIVE.

DM me “REVIVE” if you’re ready to stop punishing and start rebuilding.

It started with a message from the

He was ready to change.

But he wasn’t doing it alone

His wife jumped in too.

Side by side. Rep by rep. Meal by meal. Week by week.

Since then, they’ve been nothing short of consistent:
✅ Turning up to the gym
✅ Fueling their bodies without restriction
✅ Checking in every single week without fail

And what’s followed?

Phenomenal progress.

Not just on the outside, but the mindset shift that comes when you realise

“We can actually do this… together.”

While my clients are UK-based, sometimes I make rare exceptions.

And I’m glad I did for these two.

Because when people are ready to change and they’re willing to do the work

Location doesn't matter. Commitment does.

➡️ DM me “REVIVE” if you’re ready to transform your body and your life.

Gym banter = anabolic 😤💪

It’s not actual bullying…

It’s love with extra reps.

Training solo is great, but there’s something powerful about being around people who push you, call you out, and won’t let you quit halfway through a set.

(And yes, sometimes that means getting roasted mid-lift.)

If you struggle with staying consistent or need someone to hold you accountable without the actual bullying…

DM me “REVIVE” and let’s build a plan that works with support that actually gets you results.

Movement doesn’t just change your body

It lights up your brain.

Better mood, better focus, less anxiety, and a stronger sense of self. 😌

Whether it’s lifting, walking, or stretching, exercise is one of the most effective antidepressants available without the side effects.

DM me “MINDSET” if you’re ready to feel better, not just look better.

We think we have time.

Time to feel confident.

Time to get healthy.

Time to finally take action…

But the truth is, life isn’t waiting.

If you’ve been putting off your health, your goals, or the way you really want to feel in your body...

This is your sign to stop waiting for “someday.”

You deserve to enjoy the beach, the photos, the trips, and the memories without hiding behind baggy clothes or fake smiles.

Let’s make the rest of this year different.

DM me “REVIVE” and I’ll help you take the first step toward feeling strong, confident, and proud of your body again.

I know what it’s like to say

“This time will be different”…

Only to fall off again within weeks

Not because you didn’t care

But because no one was in your corner when it got tough.

Inside REVIVE, it’s not just a plan.

It’s not just numbers and check-ins.

It’s structure.
Support.
Someone watching your blind spots when motivation fades.
And someone who actually gives a s*t* whether you stick with it or not.

You don’t have to do this on your own anymore.

Not this time.

If you’re tired of ghosting your own goals,

and you’re ready to have someone help you follow through

DM me “REVIVE” and let’s make it happen.

If you’re not hitting PBs, ask yourself: have you tried blasting 2000s breakup anthems lately? 💅🎶

Science* says the emotional damage translates directly into muscle growth.
(*Okay, maybe not real science… but my gains say otherwise.)

In all seriousness, music can change the vibe of your session completely.

Whether it's sad pop, heavy metal, or gym bro hype tracks, whatever gets you through your workout consistently is the real secret weapon.

DM me “REVIVE” if you're ready to train smarter (and soundtrack your glow-up properly).

Forget the 10,000-step myth 👣

It turns out that the number we’ve been told for years wasn’t based on science, it was marketing.

Now?

A review of over 160,000 people shows that just 7,000 steps a day is enough to:

✅ Reduce your risk of dementia by 38%
✅ Cut heart disease by 25%
✅ Slash your risk of early death nearly in half
✅ Lower depression & type 2 diabetes risk too

The best part?

That 3K extra to reach 10K only adds small benefits for most people.

So if you’ve ever felt like you’re “failing” at fitness just because you didn’t hit 10,000 steps

You’re not.

Start with 7,000. Stay consistent. Live longer.

Drop a 🧠 if you're walking for brain health today.

Emotional eating often sneaks in through the excuses we tell ourselves especially when life gets overwhelming.

If any of these sound familiar, you’re not alone 👇

Becoming aware of these patterns is key to breaking the cycle and building better habits over time. Instead of using food as a coping mechanism, try activities that support both your mental and physical health like journaling, walking, or simply talking to a friend.

💡 Bonus tip: Pause before eating and ask, “Am I actually hungry, or am I trying to soothe something else?”

That moment of honesty can change everything.

✅ Save this post as a reminder

💬 What’s one healthy way you cope with stress or tough emotions? Drop it in the comments!

📩 DM me “REVIVE” if emotional eating is holding you back we’ll tackle it together.

As a fat loss coach, this is really something out of my comfort zone but since I love helping others feel more confident in their own skin, it’s worth pushing past that fear. 🎥🔥

Because if showing up online helps even one person realise they don’t have to suffer through another strict diet or spin their wheels at the gym… then it’s a win.

And if you’ve been putting off taking that first step too

Know that it doesn’t have to be perfect.

You just have to start.

DM me “REVIVE” if you’re finally ready to commit to a plan that works for your body, your life, and your goals.

You can still enjoy your social life without blowing up your goals.

I drink in moderation, stay consistent with my habits, and still see results.

It's not about extremes

It’s about control.

That’s what I teach in the REVIVE Programme.

DM me “REVIVE” if you want to learn how to enjoy life and lose fat.
