Why Are You Nominating This Client?
Nominating Chris as Client of the Year!!! The last 14 months Chris has levelled up in putting his health and fitness above everything else. It has helped him show up where it matters most to him as a byproduct. His son, his family, unlock resiliencies that he wasn't able to access when things got tough in life
Watching Chris transform over the last year has inspiring to witness, yes the body transformation is exceptional from his start point (this next 6-8 months will see any even bigger change in that), but his mental focus, determination, discipline, confidence, willingness to challenge not only physical, but all areas of his life moving forward.

What Moved The Needle Or Made The Biggest Difference?
Get clear and focused on what his limiters were when it came to getting results in the gym. Chris had researched everything online across all people in fitness. Using workouts and strategies himself over the span of a 5-10 year period.
We got clear on
Movement assessments
Strength assessments
Energy system assessments
Nutritional assessment
Blood work
Mental limitations & belief's when it came to getting results
Network of friends & family around him
We looked at all areas and started with the biggest 1-3 limitations that would move the needle forward the fastest
1 - Movement
Chris had been strength training for YEARS! Yet when we got him focused on muscle centric execution, we saw drastic improvements in his movement capability, stability & mobility, muscular contractions
2 - Energy Systems
Once we got Chris' aerobic power & capacity in a better place, utilising specific cardiovascular protocols per week, alongside meditation & breath work, his ...
- ability to recover between workouts
- Sleep improved
- Ability to handle stress
- Ability to burn body fat
All improved at a faster rate
There was zero HIIT involved here
Meditation & Breath Work were things that he said hed never be able to do, he now uses these things weekly!!!
3 - Nutritional Assessment
This wasn't only a look at his calories and macro's. Although initially that what is important as a birds eye view. We set targets based on that
Alongside nutrition we looked at WHY he was stalling and not being able to stick to a nutritional set up to support his goals
Stress & Relationships played a key in this
Once we placed strategies for this, and spoke weekly about them, the ability to stay within a nutritional set up to support his goals went from 50-60% up to 85-100%
- Chris' willingness to be transparent about what happened, when things didn't go to plan etc made Coaching a lot easier
Nutrition for performance is important, but a specific macro and calorie focused plan isn't going to work 'longterm' if underlying issues aren't addressed
Where Are They Now?
As of December 31st Chris is now
185lbs - 51lbs lost
BF - 18% est - 30-36% down
Estimated to have increased his lean mass by 20-25lbs
What Is ONE Piece Of Advice Or Feedback That Someone In The Same Position Could Learn From?
Understand that for long term success
1. Patience
2. Trust
3. Willingness to communicate - when things don't go as you expect & being vulnerable on things that may be uncomfortable to talk through sometimes.
On the other side of Hard is....not as hard!
