I could hear the hesitation in their voices. They were interested in joining, but something was holding them back.

It would have been easy to push harder and try to get the sale. But when a couple are joining together, both people need to feel committed. Otherwise, you are starting on the wrong foot.

So the important question was not, “How do I convince them?”

It was, “What is sitting underneath that hesitation?”

Is it the money? The time? Worrying they will not stick to it? Or are they simply unsure whether Hounds is right for them?

In this video, I explain what I heard and how I approached it.

Because the goal is not just to get someone through the door. It is to help the right people make a decision they will actually follow through on.

What’s the difference between someone getting a result and someone not getting one? Honestly, most of the time it’s not that one person knows more.

It’s that one person actually manages to do the basics, week after week.

That’s really what we do at Hounds of Health.

We work with busy people. People with jobs, kids, stress, deadlines, too much going on and probably not enough headspace to spend hours thinking about their training and nutrition.

Most people already know they should train, eat better, sleep more, move more. That’s not really the problem! The problem is actually doing it when life is busy.

So our job is to make that easier.

Give you a structure. Tell you what to do. Help you adjust when life gets in the way. Keep you accountable. Make sure you don’t disappear for three weeks because work got manic.

You still have to do the work, obviously. Sorry, ha!

But a good system makes doing the work much easier.

And in my experience, that’s usually the difference between knowing what to do and actually getting a result.

Push the door. That’s the hard bit done. Some days you come in ready to go heavy. Some days you’ve been up since four with a toddler.. yes been there.
Both days we’ve got you. Small groups, a coach who knows your name and your knees, and a session that fits the person that walked through the door.

Antonis chats to Ilia about his experience of one of our Sweat Sessions.

Go at your own pace. Push yourself. Train alongside a great group of people.

Challenging, fun and a great way to get a proper workout in.

Even personal trainers struggle to get abs.Unless you’re 22, sleeping 9 hours a night and have basically no responsibilities, getting genuinely lean is hard after 40.

Most trainers aren’t trainers because it came naturally. Often it’s the opposite. We’ve had to struggle with it, make mistakes, and work out how to get results without making life completely miserable.

I made a quick video about some of my own frustrations with it.

Wave 2 of Emergence.

Over the next couple of weeks we’re going to start revealing some of the results.

And the photos are pretty astonishing but they only really show you a glimpse of what changed over the 12 weeks.

These aren’t fitness models. They’re not people who suddenly stopped working, cancelled their social lives and spent three months living in the gym.

They’re busy mums and dads. People with careers. People who manage teams, travel, go out for dinner, have holidays, kids, deadlines and all the normal stuff that gets in the way.

They just made a decision that, for a period of time, they were going to really take action.

And we supported them.

There’s no secret system here. Nothing that you couldn’t do.

It’s training. Nutrition. Movement. Tracking the things that matter. Making adjustments when things aren’t working. And having people around you who keep you moving in the right direction.

What is powerful is what happens when someone who is already capable and successful in other areas of their life decides to apply that same focus to themselves.

Most busy professional people who come to us don’t just want to “go to the gym”. They want a routine and they want to feel strong. They want to feel better in their clothes. They want more confidence in their body.

And, quite often, if they’re being honest, they want to transform.

That’s what Emergence is about.

More Wave 2 results coming over the next couple of weeks.

Nobody arrives feeling ready. The 6am alarm is still horrible on week 35…What changes is that you’ve stopped negotiating...

Nobody arrives feeling ready. The 6am alarm is still horrible on week 35…

What changes is that you’ve stopped negotiating with it. You now turn up, the people are there, the work gets doneand you leave a slightly better version of yourself than the one who walked in.

You don’t have to be the strongest in the room. You just have to be in it.

What does “strong and fit” actually mean? We can argue until we’re blue in the face about strength standards.

Different sports require different things. Age and s*x matters. Your training ‘age’ matters. Injuries matter. Bodyweight matters. Even your goals matter.

But if you’re just looking for some decent, all-round benchmarks to work towards, Ilia takes through some basics.
Are these perfect? No.

Does failing one mean you’re unfit? No.

But they give you something tangible to train towards.

Because “I want to get fitter” is difficult to measure.

“I want to get my first 5 chin-ups” gives us somewhere to go.

Strength and fitness should give you capability, not just a number on the scales.
