Garry, 29, Business partner, Highlands
Online coaching
Garry needed help. He was (and still is) a father with a busy home life and worked a very intense job which often had him travelling for days on end. He felt deenergized, struggled with sleep, food and following his hobbies. He worked hard as a family man and capable worker but when it came to getting into shape, mentally and physically, He needed help.
He and I had gone to school together in the Highlands of Scotland. While breath taking views and countryside are abundant, gyms are in short supply. So I started by building a comprehensive workout plan using the weights and equipment he had at home. We started there and expanded and progressed over time so that it wasn’t overwhelming or difficult to maintain.
Soon Garry started to feel results and then see results. He really came to enjoy working out and his strength increased so he joined a gym in the next town. From there he continued to put the work in. We used a number of methods: mostly resistance training but also mobility, HIIT and Cardio.
We still work together sometimes when he needs new material to work on but mostly knows how to train, workout and eat to maintain his results. Which is my main goal as a coach: To train my clients to train themselves so that one day they no longer need me.
As well as this we worked on what Garry did alongside his workouts, mostly diet and other habits. Working days were busy and needed to be fueled, as did workouts. So Nutrition needed to be tweaked to allow for this and also ensure body-recomposition, AKA, enhancing body shape by reducing bodyfat and building skeletal muscle.
Because of his time commitments it was easier for him to outsource his health, shape and fitness needs to me so that he didn’t need to worry about them and just follow the instructions I gave,
