Guides

Six things worth knowing. These guides answer the questions people actually get stuck on: the first visit to a gym, a scale that will not move, a lift that stopped going up, the evening that undoes the day, training when you live alone, and asking for help without feeling stupid. They are free and they ask for nothing.

How to walk into a gym for the first timeThe hard part of a first gym session is the twenty seconds between the door and putting your bag down. What actually happens, and what to do.→What to do when the scale has not moved in three weeksThree weeks flat is almost never a metabolism problem. How to tell water from fat, where intake hides, and what to change first.→What to do when a lift stops going upA stalled lift is rarely a programme problem. Sleep, food, volume and load scheme, in that order, and how to tell which one is actually holding you.→The 9pm problem: why evenings undo the dayA day can be immaculate until 9pm and finish 900 calories over. Evening eating is usually paid for earlier in the day, and it is not a willpower problem.→Training when you live aloneNobody notices whether you went. That is the actual difficulty. How to rebuild the external structure that makes training consistent when you live by yourself.→How to ask for help in a gym without feeling stupidWho to ask, exactly what to say, and what actually happens when you do. The question people avoid reveals the opposite of what they fear.→

The guides stay free. When you want one turned into the week you are actually in, that is coaching.
