Ever wondered why one person tells you to eat 1,500 calories...

while someone else says 2,500? 🤔
The truth is, there isn’t a single calorie target that works for everyone.

Because your calorie goal should depend on your goal.

Want to lose body fat?
You’ll need a calorie deficit.
Want to build muscle?
You’ll need a calorie surplus.
Want to maintain your weight or focus on body recomposition?
You’ll want to sit somewhere around maintenance.

Sounds simple enough...
But this is where a lot of people get stuck.
They pick a random calorie number from Google, a fitness app, or someone they follow online and hope for the best.

The problem?
Your maintenance calories are unique to you.

Things like your age, height, weight, activity levels, training, and lifestyle all play a role in determining how much energy your body actually needs.

So before worrying about meal plans, supplements, or cutting out your favourite foods...

You first need to know your starting point.
Once you’ve got that, adjusting your calories becomes much easier and far more effective.

This post gives you a simple framework for setting your calorie target based on the goal you’re working towards.
No guesswork.
No extreme dieting.
Just a practical starting point.

Save this for later, send it to someone who’s constantly asking how many calories they should be eating, and keep an eye out for the next post 👀

Need help working out your own calorie target?

Drop me a message and I’ll point you in the right direction 💪🏽

Sound!

I was having a conversation with one of my clients today.

She told me she’s been recommending my coaching service to her colleagues because she’s so pleased with the results she’s been getting and the support she’s received throughout the process.

I love hearing things like that because it’s the most natural, organic form of feedback you can receive as a coach.

When those colleagues hear about her progress, the response is often something along the lines of:

“That sounds like exactly the kind of thing that would help me finally make progress with my goals.”

And at that point, you’d think you’re onto a winner.

Well, you’d think so.

Because more often than not, the next question is:

“How much is that going to cost?”

And that question alone suggests it’s being viewed from the wrong perspective.

Buying a Costa coffee every day that you don’t really need? That’s a cost.

Paying for a gym membership you haven’t properly used for the last six months? That’s a cost.

Buying supplements without the training, nutrition, and lifestyle habits needed to make them effective? That’s a cost too.

But investing in yourself and giving yourself the best possible chance of achieving better results?

That’s an investment.

Especially when all those coffees, unused memberships, and unnecessary purchases not only fail to move you forward, but often end up costing more than hiring a coach in the first place.

This is where I see a disconnect between what people are willing to spend money on and what they’re willing to invest in.

And this isn’t me trying to justify coaching.

The results my clients achieve do that for me.

This is simply me encouraging you to look at things from a different perspective and consider what might be worth prioritising.

Because when you invest in yourself, your progress stops feeling like a cost and starts feeling like one of the best investments you’ll ever make.

Behind the terrible pun of talking about reflection while taking a mirror selfie 🙄
(Practically old enough to tell dad jokes now anyway)

There’s actually a good point to be made.

Reflection is such an important practice and should be part of any process.

Within my coaching, it’s mostly covered through our check-ins, where we establish:
• What’s going well
• Any current barriers
• What the client could be doing better
• What they need more of from me as their coach

But I think we could all be more mindful of doing our own reflection too.

Are things where I want them to be?

Could I be applying myself better or approaching things differently?

Is the result I’ve said I want actually what I want?

You get the point.

It’s something I’ve been trying to do more of lately—not just with my training, but in my life and business too.

And to be fair, as much as I (and probably a lot of you) give myself a hard time...

Always feeling like I could be doing more, helping more people, or getting even better results...

Things are actually in a great place.

I’ve built an incredible team of people I genuinely enjoy working with.

My coaching is getting some unbelievable results that I’ll be sharing with you soon.

The app, systems, and behind-the-scenes work I’ve put in are making everything run more smoothly than ever.

I’ve now been fully self-employed for over a year.

And things are only moving in the right direction.

Even writing this, I’m thinking:
“F**k, I really should reflect like this more often.”

Which just doubles down on the whole point of this post.

You may not be where you want to be yet, but take a moment to look at how far you’ve come.

And if you’re ready to lock in and take things up another notch...

You know the drill.

DM me the word “SOUND” and let’s chat about how i could help YOU do so!

Which is exactly why I’m posting it 😂.

Doesn’t need much explaining this one.

Nikol’s story is proof that working harder isn’t always the answer—sometimes you need the right plan.

Like many busy mums, she was already putting in the effort, showing up consistently, and doing everything she thought she should be doing. Yet the results just weren’t matching the work.

Over 2 months, we implemented a structured training programme and nutrition plan tailored specifically to her goals. By sticking to the process, she transformed not only her body composition but also her confidence.

The best part? She now has the knowledge and confidence to continue progressing on her own, and she’s still getting stronger and achieving better results today.

Consistency + structure = results. 💪

If you’re putting in the effort but not seeing the progress you deserve, send me a message and let’s see what’s holding you back.

Excuse me French but …. I fu***ng love feedback like this 👀

Not just because it’s nice to know you’re doing a good job…

But because it helps me better understand what people actually need support with.

Of course, I love the messages that say:
“I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in”
or
“I finally feel confident enough to take my top off at the beach.”

Don’t get me wrong — they’re great too.

But the reviews that essentially say:

“You’re supporting me in a way that actually feels helpful right now.”

“I can feel we’re taking steps towards my goal.”

“You’ve met me where I’m at and are helping me move forward.”

Those are the ones that really make me tick.

Because fitness journeys are hard.

They can feel overwhelming.

You’re not always sure if what you’re doing is correct… or sustainable.

And people usually fall off the second they feel like they’re not progressing.

That’s why one of my core coaching philosophies will always be:

Let’s get 1% better today.
2% tomorrow.
Then 3% as soon as you’re ready for it.

If that sounds like the kind of support you need, drop me a message and let’s talk about your goals.

Sound!

I put a poll on my story today asking: 👀

“Could you confidently say that all of your efforts are bringing the results you want?”

In the gym.
With your nutrition.
Your lifestyle.
Your habits.

And before anyone even answered… I already knew what the result would be.

Nope.

And I didn’t post it just to highlight people’s struggles necessarily.
I posted it because I genuinely know I can help people.

But isn’t it interesting how happy people are to wing it until they’ve completely exhausted that option…
Rather than ask for help.

I find it funny how, if you needed to learn to drive, you’d immediately hire someone to teach you.

But when it comes to your body, your physical health, or even your mental health…
Asking for help suddenly doesn’t feel so natural.

Is it a pride thing?

I like to think I’m not intimidating.

Okay, I’m big and loud… but I’m surely not that scary 🙄

I guess the moral of the story is:

If you really want results, treat it like a priority.

Invest in yourself the same way you would anything else that matters to you.

I’ve helped countless people make progress they not only feel proud of — but can actually sustain long term too.

I’d genuinely be interested to hear what’s stopping you in the comments.
Not to argue.
Not to object.
Just to better understand your situation.

Or if you’d feel more comfortable - Drop me a DM.

Swipe to see what Siyan had to say about his coaching experience ⏪️👀

Siyan came to me struggling to build muscle & lose fat.

He had tried doing it alone. But nothing was sustainable.

Over just 10 weeks we focused on:

The result?
Not just ending up leaner and more muscular.

But also more confidence in:

✅ the gym
✅ their body
✅ their training program
✅ their nutrition
✅ their chances of making their results sustainable going forward.

This is what happens when you stop guessing and follow a structured plan tailored to you you.

If you’ve been winging it so far and want help getting real results, DM me “RESULTS” 📨.

Chances are… 👀 ⬇️

You’ve made your fitness journey way harder than it needs to be. 👇

Not because you’re incapable.

But because you’ve been comparing your real life…

To someone else’s highlight reel.

Social media can inspire you.

But it can also completely distort what progress is supposed to look like.

You see people posting:

5am ice baths
Chicken and rice 24/7
Training twice a day
“Never missing”

And suddenly you think that’s what it takes.

But is it really?

And more importantly…

Is that even what YOU want?

Because somewhere along the way, a lot of people stop chasing their own goals…

And start chasing what looks impressive online.

That’s why one of the biggest things I help clients do is simplify the process.

My coaching philosophy is simple:

Meet you where you’re at — and move you forward.

For some people that’s massive changes.

For others it’s just becoming 1% better each day.

Both count.

Because real progress is relative to YOU — not Instagram.

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to becoming a better version of yourself.

And there never will be.

So if you want coaching built around YOUR lifestyle, YOUR goals, and something you can actually stick to…

Now’s the time.

The team is absolutely flying right now and there’s some serious momentum inside the program. 👊

Drop me a DM with the word “GOALS” and let’s talk about yours.
