Case studies

Scroll to explore. Each story follows the same format: where they started, what changed, what happened.

Body Recomposition

Sarah M.

Situation

Tried multiple diets over five years with no lasting results. Kept losing weight only to regain it. Energy chronically low, training inconsistent.

Approach

Built a sustainable calorie deficit using real-food targets, not elimination. Training shifted to compound-focused with weekly progressive overload. Weekly check-ins for accountability and adjustments.

Result

14 kg lost over six months. Maintained for 18 months since. Understands nutrition deeply enough to self-correct without a coach.

Strength Development

James T.

Situation

Lifting for three years with stalled progress. Programs pulled from YouTube, no periodisation, no structure. Hit a plateau on all major lifts.

Approach

Applied linear periodisation with intelligent volume management. Addressed technique inefficiencies on squat and deadlift. Nutrition timed around training for recovery.

Result

40 kg added to deadlift in four months. Zero injuries. First time feeling genuinely strong rather than just going through the motions.

Habit Formation

Priya K.

Situation

Busy professional skipping the gym three weeks out of four. Motivation-dependent approach meant good intentions never converted to consistency.

Approach

Designed minimum effective sessions (35 min) that fit the schedule non-negotiably. Identity-based habit building where showing up became the metric, not performance.

Result

Over a year of unbroken consistency. Energy up significantly. Down two shirt sizes. Sleep quality improved as a secondary effect.

Post-Injury Return

Marcus R.

Situation

Anterior shoulder labrum repair left Marcus avoiding upper body training entirely for eight months. Fear of re-injury kept intensity artificially low.

Approach

Progressive loading protocol aligned with physio sign-off. Educated Marcus on load tolerance principles so he could self-assess. Gradual return to overhead pressing with modified mechanics.

Result

Full upper body training resumed after 12 weeks. Bench press exceeds pre-injury numbers. No pain, no guesswork on what is safe.

Online Remote

Chen W.

Situation

Remote client in Singapore. Had trained sporadically for years but never had structure. Wanted to get serious without access to a local coach he trusted.

Approach

Full remote programming via app with weekly video check-ins. Detailed technique coaching via recorded session reviews. Nutrition targets set against Singapore food culture.

Result

Body fat reduced by 9% in six months. Squat and deadlift technique overhauled. Describes it as the first time training felt like a system, not a series of individual workouts.

Competition Prep

Aoife D.

Situation

First powerlifting meet 16 weeks out. Trained recreationally for two years but never followed a structured peaking program. Intimidated by the competition context.

Approach

Built a 16-week peaking block with calculated volume phases. Addressed competition-day nerves through preparation: knowing the warm-up routine, attempt selection, timing.

Result

Competed, hit all nine attempts, posted an 8% total improvement over training maxes. Has since competed twice more and coaches others through their first meet.

In their words

I lost 14 kg over six months and kept it off. What made it different was actually understanding the why behind every decision. Nutrition, training, recovery. It never felt like guesswork.
Sarah M.
Added 40 kg to my deadlift in four months without a single injury. Rob builds programs that push you progressively but intelligently. I've trained for years and this is the best programming I've had.
James T.
I went from skipping the gym three weeks out of four to training consistently for over a year. Energy up, sleep better, down two shirt sizes. The habit side of coaching matters as much as the training.
