THE PROBLEM
YOU DON'T NEED ANOTHER PLAN THAT ONLY WORKS DURING A PERFECT WEEK
Perhaps you already know that you should eat more protein, exercise consistently, walk more and get enough sleep.
The problem is making all of that work alongside your job, family, health, social life and the weeks when everything refuses to go to plan.
You start with good intentions, try to change everything at once and make progress, until life gets busy. Then the routine falls apart, the guilt begins and you promise yourself you’ll start properly again on Monday.
Or perhaps you’ve become so overwhelmed by advice about calories, carbohydrates, fasting, cortisol and “hormone balancing” that you no longer know what applies to you.
You don’t need another generic spreadsheet, restrictive diet or supplement protocol.
You need to know what matters most for you, and how to apply it consistently.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF…
- You want to lose body fat and become stronger without following another restrictive diet.
- You understand some of the basics but struggle to make them work consistently within your life.
- You want a plan that accounts for your health, preferences, schedule, experience and equipment.
- You're willing to resistance train at home or in a gym and engage honestly with the coaching process.
- You want to understand your nutrition and habits rather than depend on a coach forever.
- You're navigating considerations such as PCOS, preconception, pregnancy, postnatal recovery or menopause and want an approach that stays within appropriate professional and medical boundaries.
THIS ISN'T FOR YOU IF…
- You want to crash diet for a wedding or holiday in three weeks.
- You want a detox, rigid meal plan or supplement to do the work for you.
- You are unwilling to do any resistance training or participate in regular check-ins.
- You want someone to diagnose or treat a medical condition.
- You want rapid results without accepting that meaningful, maintainable change takes time.
Postnatal clients must have appropriate medical clearance before beginning exercise.
THE APPROACH
A COMPLETE PLAN, WITHOUT TRYING TO CHANGE EVERYTHING AT ONCE
The Evidence Framework considers five areas that influence your progress:
Nutrition
Personalised calorie and macronutrient targets, practical recipe ideas and guidance that helps you understand your food rather than fear it.
Resistance Training
A gym or home-based programme designed around your goals, experience, schedule and equipment. Home clients require at least a pair of adjustable dumbbells. Programmes are normally reviewed and progressed every eight weeks.
Daily Activity
Realistic step and movement targets based on your current routine, not an arbitrary number copied from social media.
Sleep
We review sleep quality and identify practical improvements where your circumstances allow. You will not be told that every disrupted night has “broken” your hormones.
Stress and Lifestyle
Your plan must survive busy weeks, meals out, travel, family commitments and fluctuations in motivation. We build strategies for those situations rather than pretending they won’t happen.
These areas are not all changed simultaneously. We identify what needs attention first, build it into your life and adjust it using the information from your weekly check-ins.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
EVERYTHING NEEDED TO TURN THE PLAN INTO ACTION
Weekly Personal Check-In
Complete your check-in through the app each week. Chris reviews your progress, identifies problems and provides personalised feedback and adjustments via video note.
Direct Chat Support
Leave videos, voice notes or just drop a message in the chat. Messages are normally answered within 24 hours.
Personalised Nutrition Targets
Receive calorie and macronutrient targets built around your goals, training and preferences, alongside practical recipe ideas.
Bespoke Training Programme
Choose gym or home-based training. Your programme is designed around your goals, experience, time constraints and available equipment.
Exercise-Form Feedback
Send videos through the app whenever you would like your technique reviewed.
Activity, Sleep and Lifestyle Review
We monitor more than scale weight. Step goals, sleep quality, recovery, stress and the practical demands of your life all inform the plan.
Evidence-Based Supplement Guidance
If a supplement has a sensible role, Chris will explain why. You will not be given an expensive list simply to make the plan appear more advanced.
Ongoing Education
Educational resources are introduced throughout your journey so you understand why the plan works and gradually become more confident making decisions independently.
Private Member Group
Join the in-app community to interact with other members, ask questions and access Chris’s longer videos analysing important nutrition, training and health topics.
RESULTS
RESULTS THAT LAST LONGER THAN THE BEFORE-AND-AFTER PHOTOGRAPH
Naomi Main
Weight lost, muscle gained and greater confidence in 13 weeks
After years of trying on her own without getting where she wanted to be, Naomi began coaching with a flexible approach to food and an easy-to-follow training plan.
In the last 13 weeks I have lost weight, gained muscle and confidence… After years of trying on my own and not really getting there, I am now focused on continuing with the learnings from Chris.”
Janice Mcivor
Consistent training and daily movement over five months
This client did not simply lose weight. She learned how to build habits that continued even when motivation was tested.
I’m so happy to have managed to lose the weight I’ve lost so far… I’ve managed 5 sessions this week, and my step count has vastly improved, where I’m now hitting 9.5–10k consistently.”
Sarah Parry
From gym-phobic to a confident, dedicated gym-goer
Sarah began with accessible strength workouts using the weights she had at home. As her confidence grew, she progressed into the gym and developed the knowledge to continue independently.
At the time, I was completely gym-phobic… Under his guidance, my confidence grew, and I’ve since become a dedicated gym-goer… I feel stronger, both physically and mentally.”

QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
No. The service is open to women and men, although most clients are women and the coaching is particularly experienced in supporting women through different life stages.
No. Programmes can be gym or home-based. For effective home training, you will need at least a pair of adjustable dumbbells. A bench and additional equipment can be useful but are not always essential.
That depends on your starting point and goals. Your programme is designed around the time you genuinely have rather than an arbitrary number of weekly sessions. You will need to commit to regular resistance training, daily activity and a weekly check-in, but coaching should not require your life to revolve around it.
The goal is not to hand you another temporary diet. We identify why previous approaches became unsustainable, prioritise the changes most relevant to you and build the skills needed to maintain progress independently. You will still need to do the work, but the work will be designed around your circumstances.
The plan can account for diagnosed conditions, symptoms, life stage, medical advice and your current capabilities. Coaching does not diagnose or treat medical conditions and does not replace your GP, consultant, dietitian, physiotherapist or other appropriate healthcare professional. Postnatal clients need medical clearance before beginning exercise.
You’ll receive personalised calorie and macronutrient targets, practical recipe ideas and help structuring your meals. The aim is to teach you how to make food choices in normal life rather than leave you dependent on a rigid menu.
There is no honest universal answer. Your rate of progress depends on your goal, starting point, consistency, health and circumstances. Some clients notice changes within the first few weeks; meaningful and maintainable results usually require longer. This is why coaching begins with a 12-week minimum rather than promising a three-week transformation.
The investment is explained after you enquire because the first step is establishing what you need and whether the service is appropriate. You will receive the full details before making any commitment.
THE FINE PRINT
NO FAKE GUARANTEES, JUST CLEAR TERMS
No ethical coach can guarantee a particular weight, clothing size or physical result. Outcomes depend on many factors, including the actions you take.
Coaching begins with a minimum 12-week commitment because lasting change requires more than a last-minute push before a wedding or holiday.
After the initial 12 weeks, you may continue on a rolling membership. To cancel, give notice at least one week before the next payment is due.
