Everyone online has a different protein number. Here's what 49 trials actually found.

Your number:
Body weight (kg) x 1.6 = grams a day
Divide by 4 meals = grams per meal

EXAMPLE: 80 kg x 1.6 = 128 g a day, about 32 g a meal

Protein works on top of training, not instead of it. If you have kidney issues, check with your GP first.

Pullovers, but harder where it counts 🔥

Flat bench next to a column, band anchored at the bottom, wrapped around the dumbbell.

As the dumbbell travels behind your head, control it and feel the stretch. That bottom position is where the band
gives you the most resistance, which is exactly where you want it.

Save this one for chest day 📌

We didn't build Metaform for gym junkies 🙅

We built it for everyone else.

We kept seeing the same two things. People paying for a gym membership they never use, or wanting a personal
trainer and being put off by the cost.

So we built the thing in between 👇
📋 Your own program
🧢 Access to a coach
✅ The same accountability

All inside a small group.

You start one on one with a coach, we run a movement assessment and an injury screen, then build a program
specifically for you. And only if we genuinely think it's the right fit 🤝

We're now doing performance assessments at Metaform 📊

This isn't just for athletes. It's for anyone who wants to know where they actually stand instead of guessing.

We pick the tests that suit your goals, run them on our VALD gear, then sit down and explain what the numbers mean.
You get everything in an app on your phone, and when you retest we show you exactly how far you've come.

DM us the word ASSESSMENTS to book 📩

The exercise that dropped the top blood pressure number most across 270 trials? You hold still.

A network meta-analysis of 270 randomised trials (15,827 people) found every type of exercise lowered resting blood pressure. Isometric holds lowered the top number most, about 8 mmHg on average, and the wall squat ranked as the best hold.

One small study used: 4 x 2-minute wall sits, 2 minutes rest, 3 times a week. Depth was set for each person.

Blood pressure rises a lot during the hold itself. If you have high blood pressure or take medication, get advice from your GP first.

Save this, and ask your coach or GP if it's right for you 🔖

Getting stronger, but not bigger? That’s not a mistake 👇

Early on, researchers think much of the strength you gain comes from your nervous system getting better at driving the muscle.

🧠 In one study of a shin muscle, four weeks of training made its motor units fire about three more times a second, on average.
💪 Muscle size can start changing within a few weeks too, though some of that early change is swelling, not new muscle.
🔁 Train just one arm or one leg, and the other side gets stronger too. Across 31 trials, the untrained side gained about 12% on average, though many of those studies had weaknesses.

So your first weeks of training are partly your brain learning the lift. That’s why technique practice early on isn’t wasted time.

How we coach it:
1. Practise the main lifts often in your first weeks
2. Keep the same lifts long enough to get good at them
3. Add weight slowly, form first

Save this for your first week.

Knees caving in when you squat? Coach Nikki's 3 cues 👇

1️⃣ Feet just wider than your hips, toes turned out a little
2️⃣ Push your knees out so they track over your toes, the whole way down
3️⃣ Spread the floor with your feet

Go as deep as you can while your knees stay out. Depth comes later.

Start here: goblet squat, 3 sets of 8, 3 seconds on the way down.

Save this for your next leg session 🔖

158 trials. Every type of exercise they tested lowered long-term blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. Even lifting.

A 2025 network meta-analysis of 158 randomised trials (17,059 people) measured HbA1c, your average blood sugar over about three months. Compared with no training, intervals, cardio, and cardio plus weights each lowered it by about 0.6 of a percentage point. Weights on their own lowered it by about 0.4.

A second review of 20 weight-training trials found that bigger strength gains went with bigger drops.

If you take insulin or medicines that can cause lows, ask your GP how to exercise safely.

Save this, and send it to someone who's been told to move more 🔖
