POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Landed in Egypt with literally no idea what this trip would entail.

I’ve always been fascinated by the pyramids after reading the book The Ra material but never thought I’d get a chance to see them…

But jeez was this a bucket list experience 🥹

when i was younger i had 2 settings with food.

eat absolutely fucking everything.

or eat nothing.

Ricky EATING DISORDER

there was no middle 😂

i could eat until i literally felt sick.

then feel horrible about myself after.

so eventually i went the complete other way.

i thought being “healthy” meant saying no to everything.

no dessert.

no nice food.

no random meals out.

go to an amazing country with some of the best food in the world?

nah ill have chicken and rice thanks 😂

and the sad thing is…

i thought i was doing well.

i thought i was being disciplined.

but really i was just miserable.

food controlled me when i was eating too much.

then food still controlled me when i was eating fuck all.

just in a different way.

it took me way too long to realise there was actually a 3rd option.

you can look after yourself AND enjoy your life.

you can care about your body and still go for dinner.

you can go on holiday and actually eat the fucking food.

one bad meal doesnt ruin everything.

one good meal doesnt fix everything either.

its just life.

thats genuinely a massive part of why we made notfit.

because i wish someone had taught younger me that you dont have to choose

between being fit and actually enjoying being alive.

you can do both.

thats kinda the whole point!

At 18, I weighed 21 stone.

I was the fat kid. Had been for as long as I could remember.

Didn’t know shit about nutrition. Ate whatever I wanted. Did fuck all exercise. And honestly, I didn’t really know where to start.

Then one day I was on holiday in Spain, watching football in a bar, and a group of lads started taking the piss out of me.

Called me a whale.

I’d heard stuff like that before, but for whatever reason, this one stuck.

Got home, stepped on the scales, saw 21 stone and thought… fuck.

Something needs to change.

So I started moving.

Started swimming. Playing tennis. Lifting weights. Got a PT. Learned a bit about food.

And weirdly enough, I started to actually enjoy it.

I wasn’t just moving because I hated how I looked anymore.

I wanted to get stronger. Get better at stuff. See what my body could actually do.

By 20, I’d lost around 12 stone.

Which is mental to think about now.

But losing the weight wasn’t even the biggest change that happened.

Fitness gave me a career. A business. Friends. Experiences. Pretty much an entirely different life.

And now I’m building a fitness app called NotFit.

An app for people who don’t particularly like fitness.

Bit ironic, I know.

But I remember what it felt like to walk into a gym and have absolutely no fucking clue what I was doing.

And I know how easy it is to think fitness just isn’t for people like you.

I spent years thinking I needed to change my body to have a better life.

But it turns out, getting off my arse and actually doing stuff with it was what changed my life.

And that’s kind of the whole point of NotFit.

You don’t have to become a gym person.

You don’t have to live on chicken and rice.

And you definitely don’t have to wait until you look a certain way to start enjoying your life.

Just find something you enjoy doing.

Be really bad at it.

Keep showing up.

See where it takes you.

You might surprise yourself.

I certainly did.

we built a fitness app because we're the kind of people who download one, become obsessed with it for 11 days and then completely forget it exists.

turns out building an app when you all have ADHD is also a questionable decision, but here we are.
so we made something we'd actually want to use.

15–30 minute workouts. with equipment, without equipment, at home... wherever.
different programmes, new skills to learn, and actual humans to train with.

an AI assistant that helps plan your week of workouts because apparently we're supposed to organise our own lives.

a ridiculous amount of recipes inspired by food we've eaten and loved around the world. because getting healthier shouldn't mean eating sad chicken and broccoli for the rest of your life.

and a community of black sheep who don't take themselves too seriously but still give a shit about getting better.

no perfect routines. no guilt trips when life gets in the way.

so yeah, we made the world's worst fitness app.

it's called NotFit.

applications are open. comment 'BLACK SHEEP' for the link.

A note from our developer and co-founder.

Ten tasks at once? Fuck it, chuck another one in.

I call my ADHD my superpower. Probably why Taz and I get along so well. There’s always something else we want to add to notfit.

Different ways to move, good food, and people who are up for giving things a go.

Sounds like your thing? Come join us.
