When RJ first came to me in October 2024, he was ready for change – but like many busy professionals, fitness had taken a back seat. He openly shared, “I wasn’t always the picture of health.” But something clicked when we started working together, and from day one, RJ was all in.
A Simple but Effective Plan
RJ didn’t overhaul his entire life or spend hours in the gym. With just 1–2 gym sessions per week, some additional workouts at home, and a laser focus on consistency, he followed the plan I created for him to the letter.
That included sticking to the calorie deficit we agreed on and following the nutrition guidance I provided. He committed to fuelling his body well, not just training hard – and that combination paid off.
16kg Down – But the Real Change Was Bigger Than the Scale
Over the months, RJ lost 16kg, gained strength, and started feeling the difference in ways far beyond the mirror.
“Coach Mike helped me understand how exercise and good nutrition could truly transform my life. And it did! I began to see real changes – I felt stronger, more energetic, and yes, my clothes fit better too.”
By sticking to the plan both in the gym and in the kitchen, RJ transformed how he felt daily. His energy levels soared. His confidence grew. And for the first time in a long time, he felt like the best version of himself.
“The most wonderful surprise was how it affected me on the inside. I was genuinely happier and more confident.”
Inspiring a Ripple Effect
Perhaps the most unexpected – and rewarding – part of RJ’s journey has been the impact on the people around him.
“What’s been even more rewarding is seeing my journey inspire others, especially my coworkers. They’ve started their own health journeys after seeing my transformation, and that makes me so incredibly happy.”
His transformation became a catalyst for others, showing that taking care of yourself is never selfish – it’s powerful.
The Takeaway: You Don’t Need Perfection – Just the Right Support
RJ’s story proves that with the right structure, a bit of accountability, and a realistic plan, amazing things can happen – even with a busy schedule and minimal gym time.
“It’s proof that taking care of yourself is not just about looking good, it’s about feeling good, and inspiring others to do the same.”
