🥇Client: Mark.S
📉 Weight: 115kg ➡️ 81kg
📏 Measurement: 423cm ➡️ 347cm

That is 34kg lost and 23.7cm off his waist but the biggest transformation wasn’t just physical.

When he first came to me, he was frustrated, exhausted and constantly second-guessing himself.

His previous attempts involved extremely low calories, a cardio-heavy approach and even further calorie reductions whenever progress stalled. It left him feeling drained, worried that he had wasted his beginner-gain potential and unsure of what to do next.

His weeks would start strong, but stress, poor sleep, gaming late at night, skipped training sessions and weekend overeating would slowly take over.

He was also constantly changing his program because he was worried about his technique, couldn’t feel certain muscles working and felt like his lifts had plateaued.

What he wanted was simple: A program he could trust.
✅️ Accountability when motivation disappeared.
✅️ Structure that worked around real life.
✅️ And a plan that would help him lose fat, build muscle and feel athletic again.

So that’s what we focused on.
✅️ No starvation calories.
✅️ No punishment cardio.
✅️ No constantly changing exercises.
✅️ No expecting perfection every week.

We built consistency through structured training, realistic nutrition, regular check-ins, form feedback and better routines around sleep, stress and recovery.

Over time, he stopped relying on motivation and started developing the discipline he thought he didn’t have.

Now he is 34kg lighter, significantly leaner, more muscular and living with far more confidence and control.

This is what happens when you stop chasing the most aggressive approach and start following one you can actually sustain.
An incredible transformation and we’re still going.

Ready to stop starting over every Monday? DM me “NAKAMA” and let’s create a plan you can finally stick to.

Burn Fat And Gain Muscle?? MYTH?

You need to R.E.A.P the results:
🏋️ R — Resistance: Train hard and progressively improve
⚡ E — Energy: Stay around maintenance or in a small calorie deficit
🥩 A — Amino Acids: Eat enough protein to support muscle growth
😴 P — Pause: Prioritise sleep, recovery and stress management

Body recomp is most realistic when you’re:
✅ A complete beginner
✅ Returning after time away from training
✅ Carrying enough body fat while following a well-structured program

But if you’ve been training consistently for years, trying to lose significant fat and build significant muscle simultaneously may leave you spinning your wheels.
Sometimes the smartest strategy is to focus on one clear goal at a time:
Fat-loss phase → maintenance → muscle-building phase.
Stop chasing the fastest transformation and start following the strategy that actually suits your body and training experience.

Comment “NAKAMA” or DM me “REAP” and I’ll help you work out which phase you should be in.

📏Stats: 373cm ➡️ 302cm = 71cm
🎯Goal: Lose Bodyfat, Increase Confidence and Self Belief, Fix Relationship with Food
❌ Problem: University Student, Binge Eating, Tried Dieting Before with Little to No Results

Quyen lacked self-confidence when I first met her, quiet and reserved, but I saw something in her. A burning desire to be better. I’m very glad I got to meet Quyen and work with her. Not only because she did so well but also because I was able to bring out a radiant and confident version of her.

She’s crushing it! 💪

🥇Client: Rocco. M
📉 Weight: 110kg ➡️ 93kg
📏 Measurement: 408cm ➡️ 372cm

17kg down. 36cm lost across overall measurements.

But this transformation was never just about the scale.

When he started, he was 110kg, working a high-stress office job, spending long hours sedentary, then backing it up helping at his family’s pizza restaurant.

🔴 Food was hard to navigate.
🔴 Progress was hard to track.
🔴 Goals felt hard to set.
🔴 And previous injuries made training feel even more challenging.

So we didn’t chase perfection.

We focused on building structure around his real life.

We worked on:

✅ Making food choices easier
✅ Learning how to track without overthinking
✅ Setting realistic weekly targets
✅ Training around previous injuries
✅ Building momentum through consistency
✅ Improving energy, confidence and quality of life

Now he’s sitting at 93kg, with overall measurements dropping from 408cm to 372cm.

That’s not a quick fix.

That’s a lifestyle change.

Fat loss becomes a lot more achievable when the plan actually fits your life, your schedule, your stress, your work, and your responsibilities.

Proud of the work he’s put in.

This is what happens when you stop trying to be perfect and start becoming consistent.

🏆 CLIENT: Justin.T
📉 Weight: 85kg ➡️ 72kg (-13kg)
📏 Waist: 97cm ➡️ 84cm (-13cm)

"I've been training for ages... so why do I still look bloated and soft?" That was where we started.

He wasn't lazy.

He wasn't inconsistent.

He was simply putting in effort without a plan.

Despite training regularly, he struggled with:
• Constant bloating
• Stubborn body fat
• Poor body composition
• No real structure around nutrition
• Feeling like every social event would undo his progress

On top of that, he lived a very social lifestyle.
🍜 Restaurant dinners.
🎉 Parties.
🎵 Music festivals and raves.
🍻 Nights out with friends.

Instead of removing those from his life, I taught him how to fit them into his goals.

One of the biggest wins wasn't just the weight loss...
It was finally fixing the bloating that had been making him look and feel uncomfortable every day.

Once we addressed his nutrition, food choices, meal timing, and consistency, his digestion improved dramatically.

✅ 13kg lost
✅ 13cm off his waist
✅ Significantly less bloating
✅ Leaner, more athletic physique
✅ Better relationship with food
✅ A balanced lifestyle he can actually maintain

This is what sustainable coaching looks like.
Not avoiding your friends.
Not giving up weekends.
Not living on chicken and broccoli.

Just learning how to balance your goals with your life.
Because the best transformation isn't the one that's hardest to achieve

It's the one you can maintain. 🥰

DM "NAKAMA" if you're tired of spinning your wheels and want to finally lose body fat, fix your nutrition, and build a physique that lasts.

Your mindset plays a huge role in your fat loss journey

Because the way you think will directly impact the way you act

A lot of people know what they “should” be doing:

Eat more protein
Hit their steps
Train consistently
Sleep better
Stop giving up after one bad day

But knowing what to do isn’t always the hard part

The hard part is actually following through when life gets busy, motivation drops, stress is high, or progress feels slow

That’s why awareness matters

But awareness without action is just another way to stay stuck

At some point, you have to stop waiting for the perfect time, the perfect mood, or the perfect week to start showing up

Because fat loss is hard

And it’s supposed to be

But that doesn’t mean you have to do it alone

If you’re struggling to stay consistent and want personalised guidance, DM me “NAKAMA” and I’ll run you through how our coaching process works

🏆Client: Brendan.N
📉 Weight: 68kg ➡️ 56kg 🔥

Brendan came to me frustrated.

He was training 5x a week, doing Muay Thai 2x a week, running, eating “well” and putting in the work…

But he felt like his physique didn’t reflect the effort he was putting in.

He wanted fat loss, muscle definition, better athletic performance and to finally look like someone who trains as hard as he does.

So we didn’t complicate it.

We built a plan that actually fit his lifestyle.

✅ Macros dialled in
✅ Activity levels checked
✅ Training structure improved
✅ Meals he actually enjoyed
✅ Mindset and clarity locked in

Meals like honey soy chicken, teriyaki beef stir fry, egg omelette with nuoc mam, beef pasta, and black pepper beef cubes with rice made the process realistic, not restrictive.

And the best part?

During this phase, Brendan travelled to:
🍡 Japan
🇻🇳 Vietnam and
🇺🇸 America — and still made progress.

He didn’t “fall off.”
He didn’t wait until life was perfect.
He used the tools, tricks and structure we built together and came back surprised that his progress kept moving.

This is what happens when you stop guessing and start executing with a plan made for you.

Proud of you, Brendan. This is just the beginning 🏅

If you’re training hard but still not seeing the body you want, the answer probably isn’t “work harder.”

It’s having the right plan.

DM me if you're interested 😘
