How clean eating virtually gave me an eating disorder
Just penning this post after eating a full Welsh breakfast with eggs, fried bread, beans, toast, the lot! I ate this guilt free as Im currently training more than ever in preparation for Manchester Marathon in April 2020, closely followed by my first Triathlon a month...
Don’t let age slow you down
A client told me last week that there is evidence that more and more men in their 40s and 50s are signing up for Iron Man and Triathlon events... I for one salute that! A quick one about age. I don't buy into all that shit about slowing down as you get older, in fact...
Over 30s men are swimming in STRESS!
Everyday both in person and online I talk to lads with massive pressures at work, financial strain, going through break ups and not seeing their kids. Of course this isn’t the case for all but most men of our age demographic are heavily relied upon and that brings a...
I wish I could bottle this feeling!
This feeling just moments after completing a 12k run in the sunshine feeling fit, healthy and vibrant at 40 years old! I wish I could then give it to someone who is deliberating over signing up to one of our programmes for just 1 minute to taste how good it feels! You...
Why saying “I want to lose weight” never works
Most men who join the 30+ Men's Fitness community say they joined because they want to lose weight, or that they want clothes to fit better. These men typically start full of motivation and lose a decent bit of weight in the first few weeks. But then motivation starts...

Why you didn’t gain 5lb over the weekend
Something I often hear on a Monday from my bespoke clients and my online coaching clients is something like this. "Shit Tregs, I've done my Monday morning weigh in, and I've gained 5lb!" The first thing I tell them is that they haven't gained 5lb of fat. To gain 1lb...
How Simon lost 110lb in 7 months

How I lost 16lb eating only McDonalds
I spoke with Ry Williams who is a part time PT and full-time post man originally from Hereford. He recently did a 30 day challenge eating only Mcdonalds in which he lost 16lbs and got in great shape (he was already pretty lean but lost over a stone). He'd been...

In this podcast Mark interview's online fitness trainer, James Smith. Hailing from Berkshire, James has only been in the fitness industry for around 5 to 6 years but he has literally blown up over the last few years on Social Media. His no nonsense approach to try and...
Can I run 10k, or a half-marathon, or a Tough Mudder?
Now that the evenings are getting lighter, and the worst of winter is behind us, a lot of the lads in our Facebook group are dusting off their running shoes and signing up to local races to keep themselves accountable. However, a lot of lads haven't run that much in...
Kettlebell workout to try at home
A lot of guys ask me what the next step is after they have gained strength through our home bodyweight workouts, and you won't find a better fitness tool than the kettlebell. If you're new to kettlebells, then I recommend you buy one of our competition quality...
6 Minute Beginners Bodyweight Only Home Workout
It can be really hard to know where to begin. I see this question a lot in our 30+ Men's Fitness community. Lads genuinely don't know where to start with working out. 5 minutes on Google just confuses them more as there's so much conflicting information out there. Do...
