30 Minute Fitness is for busy men who want to get in shape without it taking over their life.
You won't get a six pack or win a Hyrox competition by training twice a week for 30 minutes and eating a bit more fruit and veg, but you will drop a belt notch or two, cut body fat, feel better about yourself, be able to wear more of the clothes you want to wear and get back some of your old energy.
I look after myself, as most men want to do, but I don’t want it to be all consuming. And I definitely don’t expect it from a 40 year old man with two kids, a busy week ahead at work and a social life at the weekend.
I am a recovering 'all or nothing thinker'. I used to train for an hour/hour & half, six days a week, & spend my full Sunday meal prepping 21 meals for the week ahead.
Now I do half hour weight sessions, keep my step count half decent, have 3-4 low prep breakies & lunches that I barely need to think about and a few dinners anyone in the house will eat. Nothing flashy but it's what works. And then I can still have a few beers and eat out on top, without hindering my progress.
At nearly 50 I am leaner, stronger, healthier and more body confident than I was in my 20s and 30s, by doing less. I stopped trying to be perfect and just got better.
-Me at 28 and at 49-
Most men don’t need another complicated plan, they need something simple enough to keep doing when work gets busy, their sleep is off and motivation disappears.
Two 30 minute gym sessions per week, 1-2-1 with me, consisting of a warmup, then using kettlebells, battleropes, sandbags and some old school weight lifting moves, followed by a quick stretch to cool down and that’s you, ready to crack on with the rest of your day.
It's simple but it's not easy. Most blokes are constantly looking for the secret to losing weight and feeling good. The secret is there isn't one.
Train better. Eat better. Be consistent.That's it.
I train my clients the way I train myself, doing the exercises that get results. The hard part isn’t knowing what to do, its doing the simple stuff long enough for it to matter. Like these gents below did:
-Graeme, same outfit, 6 months apart-
Ben: Lost stone and a half
Gary: Down 2 stone
Ant, down 7.5 stones
To make all this even more straighforward, save me waffling on any longer here and get all the necessary exercise and nutrition info in one place I have written it as a little book:
Just 75 pages. Perfect toilet read. No jargon, no fluff, no bullshit. Just what I have found to work best, based on proper scientific research, not 'gym bro' nonsense, condensed down only to what you need to know.

I only work with 30-35 clients at any one time, so spaces are limited. Give me a shout if you are interested and we can have a chat and start to plan how we can set about getting you to where you want to be.
Cheers
Ps. I don't really use social media. Fitness done right is boring. The fittest people you know are boring. Showing a new video every day doing the same shit doesn’t get your attention. So you’ll never see it on social media as its not impressive. But it's what works!
