DB Elite Coaching: Maida Vale

What a journey this was. And the key? Sustainability 🔑

Riad is one of my closest friends, he reached out asking if I could help him get back on track with his training. He’d been out of the game for a while and felt stuck in a rut.

The key focus? Sustainability. Riad had been in great shape before, but his approach was often too aggressive—something we both knew needed to change.

Like many people, he’d achieve incredible results but quickly bounce back once the intense dieting or training stopped. Think massive calorie deficits, extreme fasting windows, and fad diets. Sound familiar?

We shifted the focus to form over weight and quality over quantity—building strength and control, not just lifting heavier.

On top of that, we set him up with a sustainable diet built around foods he already loved and enjoyed. It wasn’t about restricting or cutting things out, but teaching him how to structure his meals and control his calories in a way that worked for his lifestyle.

The results speak for themselves, with only 3 months in between the two photos.

If you’re looking for real, long term results like this, drop me a comment or message me the word “transform” to get started. Let’s make it happen.

Bumped into Gavin at the park 3 months ago and we had a catch-up

He was in a motorcycle accident injuring his calf severely which left him in a wheel chair for nearly a year

After the accident he piled on a lot of weight which is completely understandable

The doctors said he may never walk again but my guy had different plans

We spoke about his training even before the accident as Gavin has always been one of the hardest workers in the room and always prioritised and loved training

‘’I should be looking like Cristiano Ronaldo the way I train Dan’’ which is funny but how a lot of people do feel as they’re putting in the work but not seeing the results.

So we got into the specifics....

And we mutually understood that Gavin didn’t have the knowledge or structure to reach the physique he was after as he wasn’t too informed on the dietary side of a transformation which is the most important.

Just like a lot of guys Gav thought he could put in mad work in the gym and almost out train a bad diet or jump in and out of low cal (fad) diets

So he became one of my online clients...

He’s executed everything I’ve put in front of him and stayed seriously disciplined

Now he’s feeling the best he’s ever felt and hungrier than ever to get to his dream physique

We’ll do another progress post in 3 months to show where he is at then as we are now entering the next phase of his transformation💪

Happy for bro and hugely excited to see what results the next phase will bring

Just over 2 stone down and now at her goal weight of Kerry Washington😄💪🏽

3 months in between these two photos.

This is what hard work can accomplish within 3 months.

Now to progress even more!

The key is having a solid personalised training plan as well as making better lifestyle and food choices.

Also learning what works for you and what doesn’t... Thinking long term.

People think that once you hit your goal weight/ physique the hard work stops, but it’s quite the contrary as people fall back into the same traps or bad habits and have to start back at square one.

Seek a better lifestyle and not a quick aesthetic change and you will reap the benefits long term and pass that on to those close to you.

If you are looking for a fail-proof plan to achieve your fitness goals DM me ‘CHANGE’ and we can get to work

‘’Wouldn’t I get too ‘bulky’ if I start weight training?’’

This is a thought process a lot of woman carry and out of no fault of their own as the faces of the bodybuilding/ weights industry are normally PUMPED tf up and look insanely shredded.

My client Chang (pictured above) also had a similar thought process when it comes to lifting weights so she steered far away from the weights area... Until she joined the team😎

So what does strength/ weight training benefit for females?

🔵 Weight loss (calorie deficit)
🔵 Speeds up metabolism (burning more calories)
🔵 Reduce injuries (positive impact on bone density)
🔵 Improve athleticism and mobility
🔵 Improve confidence and reduce stress levels
🔵 Gain strength without bulking

And the list goes on... (if you want me to specify on any of the above drop me a DM)

Chang had been training for a while but never seemed to get the results she wanted

She couldn’t lose the body fat she wanted

She could never seem to break through plateaus

She was fed up!

Safe to say her entire look on fitness and working out has changed since joining the team:

- Losing over 4kg in a quicker timeframe than expected while still enjoying her favourite foods
- Smashing PBs on a weekly basis
- Confidence through the roof
- KNOWLEDGE on fitness, food and working out
- And looking great!

All it took was a fail proof plan

Then the support and guidance that she needed along the way

Working with her week in and week out on the struggles she faced

Equipping her with all the tools she needed

No matter the circumstance! I.e. - client meetings, trips away, weddings, over indulging...

And not only getting there

But MAINTAINING it

If you want to work with me on a 1:1 basis with weekly check ins and using our fail proof habit based systems getting results like Chang and many others give me a DM

A big journey from start to finish 🎯

This is what can happen in under a year when you focus and invest in yourself.

Yes, we specialize in men’s transformations but doesn’t mean we do not still get great results for our female clients!

My client here prefers to stay anonymous, but in just 8 months, she went from feeling unconfident in her physique to loving the chance to wear a 👙.

Surprisingly, this wasn’t about endless gym sessions. With a busy schedule, she trained just 3x per week. The real transformation came from simple lifestyle adjustments: better snack choices, staying hydrated, curbing cravings with black coffee or sparkling water, adding more protein to her meals to keep her satiated (full) and moving a little more.

At first, these changes didn’t seem like enough to get to her goals, but i told her to trust the process. After a month she started seeing changes and she was hooked. Realising that her yo-yo dieting from one extreme to the other was holding her back because it wasn’t sustainable enough to manage.

Even with girls night, client dinners, and a few glasses of wine on weekends, she achieved a sustainable transformation.

This is proof that you don’t need 6x gym sessions a week or extreme sacrifices to get the results you want. With the right structure and guidance, it’s easier than you think.

This is a true lifestyle transformation—sustainable, enjoyable, and here to stay.

Astonishing journey so far with my client Khaled ⤵️

290 lbs → 231 lbs - 61lbs between the two pictures! (over 27 kg down) 😮‍💨

It’s been incredible to witness Khaled’s evolution week after week. His unwavering consistency and determination are a true testament to his hard work and resilience.

As a busy finance professional, Khaled’s success comes down to structure, accountability, and careful planning ahead of each week—allowing him to enjoy dining out and the lifestyle he loves without compromise.

We continue to push forward in health, lifestyle, and physique, and there’s no sign of slowing down—in fact, quite the opposite as we have a big next few months planned ahead.

An absolute dream client to work with, and I can’t wait to share another update in a few months showcasing Khaled’s full transformation 💪

For the younger lads looking to pack on size ⤵️

One of my favourite transformations I’ve not shared was my younger brother’s.

We put together a simple but structured training and nutrition plan, and Josh followed it to a tee for just 4 months. The transformation speaks for itself, the guy looks like he ate hisself!😄

Gaining around 8kg in this short space of time, this just goes to show how quickly you can build serious muscle at a younger training age. Your body is primed to adapt much faster during this period, making those early gains incredibly rewarding.

You’ve probably heard the term newbie gains thrown around, but this transformation proves just how real and powerful they are.

In fact, my favourite clients are often those who are completely new to training. Why? Because with the right plan, proper structure, and consistent effort, their bodies respond rapidly to the new stimulus. That’s exactly how you can achieve results like this.

So, if you’re a younger guy who’s ready to put in the work and pack on some size, drop me a DM and let’s chat about how we can make it happen! 💪🏼

DB ELITE COACHING IS BACK ONLINE

What’s happening guys!

It’s been a while to say the least. The comeback has been a long time coming but after the craziest 2 years in my personal life, I believe now is the right time to return online.

I may dive a little more into why we haven’t been on social media later on…

But for now, a quick update on the business and what’s been going on behind the scenes at DB Elite Coaching.

I was away in Spain this summer launching a new venture so we took a few months off from the PT studio and switched everyone to online coaching, then returned to the studio again in September.

So apart from the summer break, over the last 18 months the team at have been working as usual.

However, in the last 3 months since being back in London, and a lot of work later our Online Coaching clientele roster has grown considerably. Meaning there has been no better time to get back online and bring back our social media platforms.

Because of this, it made sense to separate our pages.

This page will be my personal Online Coaching account, __studio is our PT studio page and dbelitecoaching is our Online Coaching business page.

We will be easing back into the process of getting back online over the next few weeks so bear with us.

If you’re interested in working with us, click the link in our bio to our new website.

Happy to be back 🤝

Next post: Physique update.
