Most dads don’t need more motivation. They need proof they can trust themselves again.

Trust themselves to take action on what is important.

I got into coaching because training was never just physical for me.

Coaching has always been something that kept my head clear and feel more like myself.

That’s why I’ve been working in gyms for the last 10 years. Because I love meeting people where they are at right now.

Especially the dads who’ve stopped recognising themselves.

The ones who think they need more motivation, when actually they need someone to help them trust themselves again.

My favourite moment isn’t when they hit a number on the scales.

It’s when they make a hard decision without needing to be pushed.

They come to the gym when they don’t feel like it.

They choose the meal that moves them forward.

They realise doing difficult things actually makes them feel better about who they are.

That confidence starts to bleed into everything else, from work to family to actually being able to take your shirt off by the pool or in the garden.

❗️That’s why I’ve opened 5 spots for dads in Bristol.❗️

30 days.

A goal of losing 4–6kg.
And a clear plan so you stop feeling like the gym is somewhere you don’t belong.

So if enough is enough and you want help, comment ME below and ill reach out with the details.

*3 spaces left*

Offer closes tomorrow @ 8pm

Hi everyone!

I don't normally post things like this, but I was chatting with some friends recently about what life as a PT currently looks like… and it got me thinking...

When most people believe it's the physical changes that stand out, for me it was actually seeing people go from feeling intimidated by gyms, disconnected from their body, or convinced that training just “doesn't work for people like them”… to walking into the gym with confidence and trusting themselves again.

We live in an age where we have access to training apps and online platforms, but that’s exactly why I still believe face-to-face coaching matters even more.

❗️So I wanted to offer something for you if you're between the ages 30–50 and in the Bristol area.

↪️If you;
- Know that exercise is important
- don't know where to start,
- have tried before and stopped
- fed up of putting your own feelings last

❗️For the next 7 days, I'm opening up 5 FREE spots for you to come and work with me.

Here are a few recent client wins:

🌟Jacob (35) came to me lacking confidence in his body. We've taken him from 93kg to just under 80kg and, more importantly, he's built a huge amount of self-belief. Now we're focusing on building muscle and keeping that momentum going.

🌟Adam (27) The gamer who started with very little confidence in himself and limited knowledge in the gym environment. He's gone from 123kg down to 107kg in a sustainable 16 weeks and is well on the way towards his goal. Watching his confidence grow alongside the physical changes has been absolutely brilliant.

🌟James (41) came to me after breaking his tibia and wanted to use his body again without fear. Since then he's built strength, added muscle, and genuinely enjoys training again. You can see the confidence all over his face.

In my 10 years of coaching, I could list 100s more, but Id be here all day!

You don't need to become someone else.
You don't need to know what you're doing before you start.
You don't need to keep standing on the outside looking in.
What most people actually want isn't just weight loss or muscle gain — it's confidence in their clothes, belief in themselves, more energy in conversations.........

Andrei, what a pleasure this guy is. He moves on with all the tools he needs to take his body to whatever level he desires.

He came to me just under a year ago with a keen desire to add muscle mass and increase his confidence in the gym setting.

We decided to stick him to a push pull legs routine as it allowed him to hit all muscle groups once per week and slowly increase his weekly volume over time.

Andrei was brand new to lifting and as such did 2 sessions per week with me initially, to get him feeling better about potentially doing a session each week on his own.

His attention to detail when feeding back to me was invaluable and made working with him, a joy.

We then moved into doing 1 session with me each week and 3 on his own before moving into full time online coaching.

None of this would have been possible without Andrei's application toward some increasingly complex movements.

He leaves stronger, with more muscle and more confident about looking after his body moving forward.

On a side note, in session, Andrei always led with a smile and always made me feel happy when I was around him. Thankyou Andrei!
