He might only be 2, but already he’s copying the habits, behaviours, and lifestyle he sees every day 🥰

Whether it’s training, eating well, helping others, or even pretending to learn CPR (and doing a pretty good job may I add!) 🚑 it’s a reminder that the people around us shape who we become 💫

The same applies to us adults ✅

If you surround yourself with people who prioritise their health, fitness, mindset and growth, those habits start to become normal to you as well 🌍

Your environment matters more than you think 💭

If you want real change in your life, DM me the word READY now 💪🏻

Same meal every shift? Yep 🚑
📈Because consistency beats guessing every time.

I know it fits my macros, keeps me full, gives me energy through the whole shift, doesn’t bloat me AND takes the stress out of “what am I eating today?” 👌

❌No skipping meals. No last minute decisions. No falling off track because I’m tired after work.

🎉Simple meals = better results, better routine, and way less mental effort.

The boring stuff is usually what works. 💯

Drop me a follow if you want more tips on how to improve your life both on and off shift 🚑🚓🚒

Shift work doesn’t automatically cause weight gain… but the habits that come with it usually do 👀

So what should you do instead?

✅ Bring at least 1 proper meal to shift
✅ Pack a high-protein snack instead of relying on petrol stations
✅ Try to eat at roughly consistent times where possible
✅ Stay hydrated — tiredness is often mistaken for hunger
✅ Don’t “save calories” all day then binge when you get home

You don’t need a perfect routine. You need one that actually works around the reality of your job 🚑

👏🏻 Small changes done consistently will always beat extreme plans you can’t stick to.

➡️That’s why 360 Shift was created! A 6 week programme to fit around your shifts, family life and everything in between!

When things go wrong, you’re the person people call…on and off shift.

🚑You stay calm, composed, and in control no matter what you’re thrown into.

😴Even when you’re exhausted.
😓Even when you’re quietly overwhelmed.
🫠Even when you’re running on empty.

You give everything to the person in front of you.

But when it’s over… you forget about you.

You drive home with the windows down, music up, doing anything you can just to stay awake until your head finally hits the pillow.

And then your mind switches on.
Replaying jobs.
Thinking about what you could’ve done.
What you should’ve said.
What went right… and what didn’t.

So you scroll.
Trying to switch off.
Trying to numb it.

But two hours later you’re still there… knowing you’ve only got a few hours before you have to do it all again.

And it’s HEAVY🥺

You’re expected to process everything… but rarely given the space to actually feel it.

So sometimes it shows up in small ways.

Snapping. Numbness. Exhaustion. Tears you didn’t see coming.

And you just push it down again and carry on.

But here’s the TRUTH⬇️
❌You can’t keep pouring into everyone else if you never pour back into yourself.

Looking after you isn’t optional. It’s part of the job now.

💚If this hit home and you want support learning how to prioritise yourself again without guilt, send me a DM with the word HELP.

I don’t usually coach men, but when I do… the transformations speak for themselves 👏

Alex had one goal: to get into the best shape possible before his wedding. He had 6 months to make it happen — and a slight crisp addiction he was ready to leave behind 😅

He struggled to stay consistent around work lunches, social events, and family life. He was stuck in a cycle of poor eating habits and little to no movement.

So we kept things simple and focused on building sustainable habits over time:

🏠 Home workouts
🚶 Slowly increasing his daily step count
📊 Tracking calories
🍗 Increasing protein intake
🧠 Becoming more aware of what he was putting into his body

The result? 12kg lost in 6 months 🔥

But the biggest win wasn’t just the weight loss…

Alex navigated Christmas, multiple stag dos, holidays, work lunches, and family events — all while losing weight and building strength around his busy schedule.

No extremes. No cutting everything out. No “starting again Monday.”

Just consistency, balance, and habits he could actually stick to.

This is what happens when you stop chasing quick fixes and start building a lifestyle that works for you.

If you want to find that balance and start achieving your goals, send me a DM with the word ‘BALANCE’ and let’s chat about how I can help 👏

You don’t need another “I’ll start again on the next shift pattern.” 🫠

✅You need a system that works even when your schedule is chaotic.

➡️That’s exactly why I created Shift 360 — a 6-week reset designed for shift workers who struggle with consistency, routine, and energy.

❌If you’ve been stuck in the “I’ll start again next shift” cycle, this is for you.

✅A realistic plan. Real support. Real results.

🎉Launching Monday 1st June — no matter what shift you’re on.

🚨I’m taking on a small group for the first round at a special rate for the first 5 shift workers.

DM me *360* for more information 💪🏻

Because they’re built for the “standard” 9–5, Monday–Friday lifestyle… which doesn’t exist in shift work 🫠

👀Take 75 Hard for example
�Not something I’d typically recommend — but if you tried it as a shift worker, it would easily add an extra 2 hours to your day.

😴And that doesn’t sound like much… until you realise you’re already waking at 4:30am, finishing late, and trying to function on broken sleep.

Two 45-minute workouts a day, one outdoors, becomes unrealistic very quickly.

Even the “simpler” influencer-style plans — 3 workouts a week, daily steps, water targets — still assume consistency that shift work doesn’t allow🤦🏼‍♀️

Because your week isn’t consistent.

Your shifts change. Your energy changes. Nights destroy your routine. Stress fluctuates. Life happens⚡️

And that’s before you factor in childcare, relationships, or just trying to rest.

So no — Monday and Wednesday workouts don’t always work.

And that’s okay💫

That’s exactly why I built The Real Shift Reset 🚑🚓🚑

A training approach designed around shift life:
* Workouts adapted for home or gym
* Nutrition simplified (not complicated rules)
* Sleep and recovery prioritised
* Built to flex around your rota, not fight it

Because you don’t need more discipline.�
✅You need a plan that actually fits your life.

If you’re done trying to force generic programmes into a shift-working lifestyle, send me SHIFT and let’s chat 💪🏻
