A couple of years ago I remember having a conversation with someone who was convinced online fitness coaching was basically finished.

AI was coming.

Within a couple of years, people wouldn’t need coaches anymore.

And you know what?

They were partly right.

AI can already write you a pretty bloody good training program.

It can calculate your calories and macros.

It can give you recipes, analyse your training, explain exercises and answer almost any fitness question you can think of.

And it’ll be significantly better at all of that in another few years.

But there’s one problem…

Most people were never struggling because they didn’t have enough information.

We’ve had workouts on the internet for decades.

We’ve known for a very long time that lifting weights, moving regularly, eating mostly decent food and getting enough sleep is good for us.

Yet people still struggle to do it consistently.

Because humans are complicated.

Life gets busy.

Motivation disappears.

We make excuses.

We negotiate with ourselves.

We have good weeks and s**t weeks.

And sometimes we need another human being who knows us well enough to say…

“Mate. I know you’ve got more in you than this.”

That’s coaching.

So do I think AI will change the fitness industry?

Absolutely.

Do I think it’ll replace some coaches?

Probably.

But I think it’ll also make the value of actual human coaching more obvious than ever.

I touched on this in Jess’s post yesterday.

Effort counts for a lot.

At some point, you’ve gotta stop making excuses and be honest with yourself about how much effort you’re actually putting in.

Life gets busy. S**t happens. And no, you don’t need to be perfect.

But there’s a big difference between having a hard week and constantly giving yourself an out.

Train. Eat decent food. Move your body. Get some sleep.

None of it is complicated.

Put in the effort. Stay consistent. Stop bulls**tting yourself.

WE AIN’T FU***NG AROUND ANYMORE. 🔥

22kg down.
14kg of body fat gone.
Body fat from 35.2% to 26.1%.
Visceral fat from 90cm² to 38cm².

Jess has made a fu***ng massive transformation.

But here's the part I really want people to understand.

I get a lot of enquiries after I share transformations like this. People see the result and naturally think, “Right, what did she sign up for? I'll do that.”

And yes, coaching matters. Good training matters. Having a plan matters.

But you can't sign up for the same coaching and continue living the same lifestyle and expect Jess's result.

Jess earned this.

I've known her for years, and one thing nobody could ever accuse this woman of is being afraid of hard work. I've often said that the way someone trains tells you a lot about the way they approach life, and Jess is a classic example.

Everyone who knows her knows how bloody hard she works. She's no different when she walks into the gym.

But the biggest changes haven't just happened inside the gym.

She's cut right back on drinking. She's taken control of her food. She trains consistently. She looks after herself. And in her own words, she's “feeling great and really in the zone.”

That's the bit people sometimes don't want to hear.

You can train a couple of times a week, but if the rest of your week is working against you, poor sleep, too much booze, s**t food, inconsistent training, then there's only so much those sessions can undo.

The people you see me sharing who have made incredible transformations aren't lucky.

They changed the way they live.

They still have weekends. They still go out. They still have busy jobs, kids, businesses and stressful weeks.

They've just stopped treating looking after themselves as the thing they do when everything else is taken care of.

Jess is a bloody brilliant example of that.

My clients might be my best advertisements. But you can't buy their results. You have to earn them.

Bloody proud of you, Jess. 👊 Jessica Ogden-Barry

If you're over 35, there are two things I think should be part of your training for the rest of your life:

Lift weights. Carry weight.

Research suggests we can lose around 3–8% of our muscle mass per decade after 30, with that decline accelerating as we get older. Bone mass also starts trending in the wrong direction as we age.

So I think we should give our bodies a bloody good reason to keep both.

Strength training is the obvious one.
The other, for me, is rucking.

And just to be clear, going for a walk with a 1L hydration pack isn't rucking.

Rucking is loaded walking. The load matters.

I think of it as another form of resistance training, with a great cardiovascular component built in.
And like any resistance training, you don't start stupidly heavy. You start with an appropriate load and progressively build as your body adapts.

This is becoming a bigger part of the philosophy behind how I train myself and how we're continuing to develop the Element Method.

Not training to specialise in one thing.

Training to stay strong, fit, resilient and capable of doing cool s**t for as long as possible.

Lift weights. Carry weight. Keep moving.

Most of us are pretty good at making lists of things we need to get done.

But when was the last time you made a list of things that would genuinely make you feel more alive?

I’ve started a simple 5-week bucket list.

Each week I choose one thing to do outside in nature, and I make a point of sharing it with someone. It might be a sunrise walk, a paddle, a snorkel, a hike, sitting around a fire, or just a coffee by the beach.

For me, it ticks off three of the most overlooked pillars of health in one hit:

• Connection to nature.
• Connection to other people.
• Connection to yourself.

The funny thing is, these are often the habits that have the biggest flow-on effect. When we feel better mentally, we usually sleep better, move more, eat better, and have more energy.

I’d love to see what you come up with.

Drop one thing you’d put on your own 5-week bucket list in the comments, or tag the person you’d like to do it with.

Let’s keep each other accountable.

One thing you’ll notice in our gym is that we spend a lot of time around the barbell.

Not because it’s the only way to get strong, but because it’s one of the easiest ways to measure progress.

One extra kilo. One extra rep. Slightly better technique. Over time, those small improvements add up to something pretty remarkable.

That’s the beauty of a barbell.

It gives you objective feedback. You’re not guessing whether you’re getting stronger, you’re collecting evidence every single week.

Strength is one of the most important qualities we can build as we get older. It’s linked to better mobility, healthier bones, improved metabolism, greater independence, and simply having a body that’s capable of doing the things you want it to do.

But here’s the important part.

Strength isn’t built by testing yourself every week.
It’s built by patiently adding small, consistent improvements over months and years.

That’s why we’re putting such a big emphasis on tracking our barbell lifts this season. Not just squats, but all of our major movement patterns.

Push, pull, squat, hinge and overhead work all tell a different story, and together they give us a much clearer picture of how each person is progressing.

Will we still use dumbbells, kettlebells, carries and bodyweight exercises?

Absolutely.
Every tool has its place.

But when it comes to building strength over the long term, the barbell is still king.

Because what gets measured gets improved.

And if you’re still strong in your 40’s, 50s, 60s and beyond, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll still be doing the things you love outside the gym too.

Strength gets a lot of attention, and rightly so.

But strength is only part of the equation.

Today’s session was all about speed and power. Not sprinting flat out or doing anything reckless, but teaching the body to produce force quickly.

That’s something we naturally lose as we get older if we don’t train it.

Think about catching yourself if you trip.
Stepping up onto a rock while hiking.
Lifting something into the back of the ute.
Getting out of the way of something unexpectedly.

Those moments don’t just require strength. They require your body to react quickly.

The good news is you don’t need to be an athlete to train it.

A few medicine ball throws.
Some low volume jumps.
A bit of explosive lifting.
Done with good technique, plenty of rest, and at an intensity that suits you.

That’s why we build sessions like this into our training.

Not because we’re trying to turn everyone into sprinters.

Because we’re trying to help people stay capable.

Strong enough to lift heavy.
Fit enough to enjoy life.
Powerful enough to keep moving well for decades to come.

If you’ve never included power work in your training before, you’re probably leaving one of the biggest pieces of healthy ageing on the table.

If you’d like to learn more about training for a long, active life, hit follow. I’ve got plenty more to share.

Every transformation photo tells a story.

The problem is, most people only see the ending.

When you look at these photos, it’s easy to focus on the 17.5kg Kez has lost. It’s an incredible achievement, and she should be unbelievably proud of it.

But I don’t think that’s the most impressive part of her story.

The part that stayed with me was reading the message she sent me afterwards.

She told me she almost didn’t show up to her first session.

After an ACL reconstruction, a hip replacement and what felt like years of rehab, she’d reached a point where she’d stopped caring. She’d hit her highest weight, lost confidence, and genuinely wondered whether she’d ever feel like herself again.

I imagine a lot of people know that feeling.

Maybe not after surgery, but after years of putting everyone else first, dealing with injuries, raising kids, building careers, or simply watching your health slowly drift away until one day you don’t recognise yourself anymore.

That’s why I have so much respect for people like Kez.
Walking into a gym when you’re already fit is easy.
Walking in when you feel like you don’t belong takes real courage.

Over the past year, I’ve watched Kez become stronger, healthier and more confident. But the biggest changes haven’t shown up on a body scan.

She’s back enjoying an active life with her husband and kids. She has more energy, carries herself differently and, perhaps most importantly, she’s proud of herself again.

Those things don’t fit neatly into a before-and-after photo.

As a coach, these are the stories that mean the most to me.

I love helping people get stronger and healthier, but what I love most is watching someone rediscover belief in themselves and realise their best years don’t have to be behind them.

Kez, thank you for trusting me through this journey. The work was always yours. I was simply lucky enough to stand beside you while you did it.

I hope your story reminds someone else that it’s never too late to take the first step. ❤️

A lot can change in 12 weeks.

Not because there’s anything magical about 12 weeks.

But because it’s long enough to build strength properly, improve your fitness, develop better habits, and actually see progress without feeling like you have to live in the gym.

That’s why we train in seasons.

Each phase has a purpose. We don’t just make workouts harder for the sake of it. We gradually build on what came before so you’re always moving forward, whether your goal is to get stronger, lose weight, move without pain, or simply have more energy for everyday life.

Our next 12 week block kicks off next week, and there are a couple of spots available if you’ve been thinking about getting started.

Send us a DM with FOUNDATION and we’ll have a chat to see if it’s the right fit.

No pressure. If we think we can help, we’ll explain how. If not, we’ll point you in the right direction.
