The reason most people skip the gym isn't laziness or lack of discipline.

It's because somewhere along the way they decided the gym has to mean:

- An hour minimum (or it's not enough)
- 5 or 6 days a week (or it's not enough)

So when life gets busy (and for business owners, life is always busy), it just doesn't happen because it feels impossibly overwhelming.

What if I told you that 3 sessions a week, 20-50 minutes each, is more than enough to completely transform how you look and feel?

Because it is.

The bar is lower than you think. You just need to actually show up to it.

I've just uploaded a Youtube video showing you exactly how and why training 3 days a week is superior if you're someone with a busy, chaotic calendar.

Go and check it out. (Link in the bio, dont forget to subscribe!)

Weekend race review.
This is a bit of a strange review and long post race for me, apart for saying "that was and epic race" and "what an amzing Weekend" which goes with out saying. These race weekends came with with some new challenges, aide for the floating walls, the death by chain carry and the next to vertical sandbag carry ( bit over dramatic) but the past this trifecta came with a personal obstacle, something that i though wouldn't never happen and iam still trying to get my brain round it. Back in February my hearing started to reduce and sounds wore muffled then it would sort it self out again, over a few weeks this continued, untill Mid April, when i lost all my hearing. Obviously saw medical advice, they dont know what has caused the nerve damage to cause my deafness, after a cocktails of medications and tests they have said that my hearing will not return. This was quite deverstating to me, as someone who was partially deaf from a birth, to become fully deaf as an adult is a hard transition.
As running and @spartanraceuk was my escape and cure for mental health, i slamed on the brakes on it all, socially withdew myself and not able to engage in conversations and banter with people (those who know me i will talk to the world and thier dog) was hard not to as i could hear, i deferred my races, but after speaking to @benallenruns and @samhall_ocrosteo and some of other Spartan Ambassador, they persuaded me to come out on the Mens Mental Health sprint wave in Henley in May, naturally bing worried about not being able to hear anything that had been said, this was hard for to not talk to people they ran along side me and supported me all the way round.
Flash forward to this weekend being fitted for a hear aid and using it for 4 weeks, eveything was muffled and disoriented, but having said that the beast was the first race that i ran with the HA, being extra cautious around the muddy obstacle so not to damage the HA and alowing extra time to remove it and replacing it around the water obstacles, not only was the Beast a physical challange but the mental challange of hearing muffled sounds and hearing bits of conversations on course....

“I want to look the way that I feel, I’ve never been able to crack it”

@j_baisley_ came to us in a pretty good spot.

He had pretty good energy 
His confidence was in an OK position 
He was fit and strong  

And yet, he knew he had far more to give

He knew when he looked in the mirror, the way that he looked did not match the way that he felt and performed

He tried to make this change himself but just ended up spinning his wheels and not seeing the progress he wanted to 
& after repeating this process over and over by himself & getting frustrated Jacob reached out to us

Yes, we put together a complete gameplan for him so he just had to follow  

Yes, we took the thinking away from him for his training, nutrition and lifestyle so there was no more wondering if he was doing the right thing for his desired result

& yes, we made sure we were in his corner whenever he needed us to make sure he didn’t get stuck

But the main thing that got Jacob here?

His willingness to change
His willingness to walk head on into challenge and embrace it
His willingness to communicate with us and admit he is struggling
& his willingness to put his ego aside and ask for help

Jacob has now:
- Dropped over 30LBS of lean muscle & gained lean muscle
- Got true, unbreakable confidence in himself & completed a photoshoot feeling unreal
- Took 1hr 2mins off of his Spartan time compared to last year (and finished in the top 100, 92nd to be exact)

If you’re like Jacob here and you’re already in a good position

But you know there is one last piece of the puzzle to be found,

One more bit of potential to be unleashed,

And you want to be in a GREAT position for the rest of 2025 and shock some friends and family in 90 days time

Drop me a message with “OPTIMISED” & I’ll give you a quick personal audit and point out 2-5 things that need your focus to take you from GOOD>GREAT
