What I have learned from my years of coaching is that we all know what we 'should' be doing to get results but actually doing it is the hard part. I've worked with hundreds of people to help change their mindset and realise their potential. From quitting my corporate job, losing 8 stone, competing in a body building show and running a business, I share the highs, lows and reality of reaching a goal. My aim is to help as many people as I can find a love for fitness and enjoy their lives while getting results they want.

Why Accountability Works

Oct 27 2024 13 mins  
Accountability is doing the things you said you would do, I would say 95% of people need accountability because it provides discipline, behaviour change, limits excuses and helps to get success and it's very hard to get things done without it!
