Rosters, overtime, night shift, shutdowns and young families. Here is what changed once the plan was built around the life instead of against it.
Henry, Case Worker
"I was eating 1,500 calories a day, starving myself and constantly battling back pain. Nick helped me lose 30kg, rehab my back and get the strongest I have ever been. I finally know what I am doing."
Aaron, FIFO Sparky
"No routine, drinking most nights, sleeping terribly. I have dropped 17kg, cut the drinking back to once a week and I am sleeping better than I have in over 10 years. I got through my son's 18th and my own birthday without blowing out."
Curt, Shift-Working Paramedic
"Shift work, a PhD and serious lower-body injuries made it impossible to train consistently. Nick built everything around my actual schedule. Down 16kg, strength rebuilt, and a routine I can actually maintain."
Steve, FIFO Operator
"Two and two roster, underground, 130kg. I had tried fasting and carnivore and kept falling off. Twelve weeks later I was 117kg, stronger, and no longer beating myself up for enjoying a weekend."
Nick, Business Owner
"Fourteen point six kilos in 12 weeks, and I still went to five weekends away including two bucks parties and two weddings. More energy, more focus, closing more deals. I feel like a completely different bloke."
Trent, Hydraulic Fitter
"It took me 12 months to lose my first 10kg. Nick got me another 11.2kg in 12 weeks, working through Christmas, still doing date nights and the odd Maccas run. Leanest and strongest I have been since my apprentice days."
Coby, FIFO Diesel Fitter
"Thirteen-hour days, two weeks at a time in the mines. Ten kilos down in 12 weeks while still getting stronger. A 140kg bench and a 180kg squat, and I stopped feeling like just another fat miner."
Josh, Boilermaker Supervisor
"Ruptured discs in my back made it hard to train and hard to do my job in the mines. After one meeting Nick knew exactly what I needed. I am lifting heavy again without pain."
Jeremy, Lab Technician
"Overtime, sickness, injuries and holidays kept wrecking my routine. Nick built an approach that adapted to my life instead of the other way round. Down 12.5kg with a 2x bodyweight squat and a 2.5x deadlift."
Darcy, FIFO Plumber
"I had fallen off the bandwagon hard. Fifteen kilos down in 12 weeks and I still had a few drinks, went camping and gamed on my days off. I feel like myself again."
Lockie, Boilermaker
"Long days as a boily left me wrecked and breakfast was usually just a coffee. Seven kilos in eight weeks, with shorter sessions on work days and a plan for night shift and 14-hour shutdowns. I actually enjoy training again."
Monty, FIFO Auto Sparky
"I tried to go it alone for years and could never stay consistent. Nearly 10kg down and I have had to replace my belts after losing so many holes. Every question answered straight away."
Trav, FIFO Hydraulic Fitter
"Turns out I was not eating enough to build anything. I trained just as hard on my days on as my weeks off because the plan actually worked with my roster. PBs across every lift."
Tom, Solar Sales Rep
"Niggling shoulder and elbow injuries were holding me back. First 100kg bench and 140kg squat while losing fat. Outsourcing my training let me focus at work and I became the top producer in my company."
Gabe, Software Sales Rep
"New city, good money, too much of it going on food and alcohol. Nine kilos in 12 weeks and I ran a half marathon. More energy, more focus, closing more deals."
Dan, Mobile IT Serviceman
"My schedule was all over the place and I never had the structure to make progress. Thirteen kilos of muscle, a 100kg bench and a 140kg squat. The biggest changes have been mental."
Lachy, FIFO Sparky
"I struggled for years to get my weight under control around shift work. I never thought I would be the guy to lose 50kg, let alone run a marathon. Eighteen months later I have done both."
