Glasgow Hyrox Doubles…smashed it mate 👊

Best Hyrox partner I could’ve asked for. This guy’s got heart and I’m super proud of him - Francesco’s first Hyrox event too. 🇮🇹💪🏻

Definitely both felt like we’ve had more in the tank at the end. Next one is certain. This time under 1:10 🫵

Something I will always preach is balance because here’s the truth ⚖️…

Life’s too short to spend every holiday worrying about calories.🍦☀️

I didn’t track a single meal in Morocco.🙅‍♂️

I trained less.😎

I ate the food I loved - a LOT of it.🍰🍧😋

And I enjoyed it — properly.😎

When I’m old, instead of remembering tracking every calorie in Morocco, I’ll remember the amazing time I’ve had and living the experience to its fullest.🙌

I strongly believe that everything needs moderation - even moderation.🥑🍷

Because fitness isn’t about being in a calorie deficit 365 days a year.📆

It’s about having a body and mindset that lets you live.🫵

That means staying disciplined the majority of the time but equally importantly enjoying the fruits of your labour.🍇🍓

Note to self 📝 (& maybe you too): in 2026, live a little (from a workaholic)

Cheers to another great year - Tom 🍻🫡

Harry first reached out to me near the end of June with ZERO gym experience — he’d only stepped foot in a gym a few times. 🙅🏻‍♂️

He was completely lost and wanted to finally start building the strong, confident body he always wanted. 💪

That’s exactly what makes his transformation so impressive. 👊🏻

Since starting his Optimal Coaching programme, Harry has shown incredible commitment and consistency. 🔥

Despite being a busy PhD student studying over 40 hours a week, he’s made fitness work for him — training 3+ times per week, staying consistent, and building real strength, muscle, and confidence. 🏋🏻‍♂️

And all this has happened in just 3 months.
Imagine what 6 months or a year of consistency could do. ⚡

This is the exact process I use to help men who feel lost in the gym finally build muscle, strength, and confidence — without wasting hours figuring it out alone.

👉 If you want to go from confused beginner to confident lifter, DM me “STRONG” and I’ll show you how to get started.🤝

First time ever bouldering last night. Challenging my fear of heights. A base level of athleticism and knowing there is soft flooring that reduces fall impact certainly helps 😄👊🏻

I have been working with Suzanne for about 8 months and she is one of the hardest working women I know.💪

Initially doing double PT alongside her daughter, Suzanne wanted to develop her fitness levels, tone up and become strong and confident with her lifts.🏋️‍♀️

While already being in great shape to begin with, she has managed to go above and beyond, getting her body visibly toned from 72 to 67kg (replacing a lot of body fat with muscle and keep in mind muscle weighs more than fat).🥑

Professionally, Suzanne is a busy nurse and often works long hours and night shifts.😴

Despite that, she has not made any excuses and managed to incorporate exercise as part of her weekly routine while being on my programme.🙌

Suzanne is human and she also occasionally enjoys some nice food and a drink, but remains disciplined with her fitness routine.🗓️🍕🥂

If you, as a female or male, want to get into crazy shape like Suzanne did while also not giving up the stuff you occasionally enjoy, send me the word “COACH” and I’ll get back to you with details.🤝

Drop a “❤️” if you found Suzanne’s progress inspiring.
