Client success stories

Progress makes more sense when you see the whole story

The goals here range from body composition and strength to endurance and combat sport. Each story has its own starting point, timeline and way of measuring progress.

Look beyond the headline figures for the planning, education, accountability and consistency carried through over time. Each outcome belongs to one person; it does not promise what someone else will achieve.

Three clients, three measures

The measure of progress changes with the goal

Klaudia, Brett and Jack were pursuing different outcomes over different time horizons. Body composition, bench-press strength and Backyard Ultra endurance each called for their own decisions.

Keep each number with the person and context below. These figures are not a scorecard for what your progress should look like.

Klaudia · Body composition
108 kg → 80 kg

Without food restrictions, Klaudia ate more than 2,000 calories per day and kept her habits through birthdays, camping, Christmas and anniversaries.

Brett · Bench-press strength
80 kg → 142.5 kg

At 54, Brett progressed over 12 months through phases for muscle growth and strength, with more food supporting his performance.

Jack · Backyard Ultra
33 laps → 74 laps

Jack’s nutrition and fuelling plan matched the event’s demands, and he qualified for the Australian team.

Body composition and strength

A longer goal has to hold up through ordinary weeks

Body-composition and strength goals may call for food habits you can keep, enough fuelling and recovery, and training phases for muscle growth and strength. The approach also needs room for social occasions and changing routines.

Meet, event and fight preparation

A date on the calendar changes the decisions

A powerlifting meet, endurance event or fight brings specific timing and demands. Training and nutrition may need to account for strength preparation, long-event fuelling and hydration, or weight management and post-weigh-in refuelling—with performance kept in view throughout.
