He works 7 days a week. He had surgery halfway through. He came back fitter than before!
When Scott came to me, he was 109kg and hiding. Baggy shirts, bigger clothes, the lot, anything to cover his size!
Here's the thing about Scott: he has every excuse most people would use. He runs a guesthouse and works as a gas engineer,that's a seven-day week, every week. He's not 25. And partway through this journey, he had to go under the knife for surgery and was told to stop training for 6-8 weeks!
Most people would've used any one of those as the reason to quit!
Scott used them as the reason to dig in. 👇
🚴 Fell completely in love with spin, "smashing it out of the park," chasing the higher zones, hitting it before work at 6am
🏃 Laced up for his first outdoor runs in years, and started running up the hills for fun
👕 Wore shirts that hadn't fit in 2 years. Ran out of holes to punch in his belts. Threw away trousers because they kept falling down. Had every shirt he owns taken in by 4 inches
🏋️ Hit personal best after personal best in the gym, "feel amazing most days and don't want to leave"
💪 And the kicker: after his operation and recovery, his fitness came back higher than before the op. VO2 up. Stronger than ever.
In his own words: "Before, I always tried to hide my size under bigger clothes. Now I'll happily wear fitted clothes."
This is a man who stopped hiding.
And when surgery forced him to stop? He was honest about how much it stung, "I hate not being able to continue and build." But he rested, recovered, and walked straight back in. Fitter. Leaner. Stronger!
THAT is the lesson. 👇
You are not too old. You are not too busy. And a setback, even an operation, is not the end of your story. It can be the middle of it.
If he can carve it out, so can you. You just have to decide if you are worth it - and start!
Dm me the word "reset" and we can get the ball rolling
