"I can't believe that's me"

Introducing one of our clients Liz -

Liz has been quietly DoingTheWork for 12 months now at HQ.

She started in October 2025 and is on our LITE membership.

In that time she has lost over 18kg / 40 lbs / almost 3 stone

but that's only part of the story because it's not really about that,

it's about how Liz now feels, it's about how much more energy she has, how she can now walk for miles and is joining us on a team hike challenge next year,

and as you can see here, she's now smashing out some assisted pull ups whilst looking great doing it.

Liz hasn't followed shake diets or done 5 sessions a week,

she has managed her calories closely, increased her step count and trained (usually) 3x per week.

It's the consistency and commitment that's got her to where she is today.

When I showed Liz this video she said "I can't believe that's me"

but I can, because that's the result of 12 months on consistency.

A huge well done to Liz for the 'work' for the commitment and for being such a great part of the community here at DoTheWorkHQ.

If you'd like results like Liz, you know where we are 🙌

What you do in the gym is worth far more than scale weight and burning calories.

It gives you the freedom and privilege to be capable of doing things like this and nobody can put a price on that.

When did you stop having something to train for?

Three years between goals. I didn't notice it happening.

You just keep showing up, keep doing the work, and somewhere along the way the gym stops building toward anything.

Getting into the Great North Run changed that for me. Twelve runs in September.

I can feel the difference between training to maintain and training to prepare - it's not subtle.

If your training's feeling a bit flat right now, that's not a motivation problem. It's a direction problem.

Things don't get considerably better or worse overnight.

That's the case for your fitness, your weight loss & your mental health.

Everything happens over the span of time which is why consistency and imperfect action is so important.

I do believe the key to stopping things going badly is recognising the small signs and small decisions on the way.

And on the flip side ensuring you're simply doing more of the stuff that 'works'.

It may sound over simplified but it rings true.

What you did today will impact your current situation in a very small way, but if the same goes tomorrow, it begins to compound.

The good news? This works in reverse too, one tiny step today, followed up tomorrow begins to compound too.

We're always one decision away from progress, no matter what we're aiming to achieve.

Central Park, Fifth Avenue, Brooklyn, Washington Street, Brooklyn Bridge, Little Italy & the rest.

We walked A LOT on this trip last year.

Over 30k steps on some days.

The fact that we COULD is huge to me.

No needing to get cabs, no needing to rest because knees were hurting or we were too knackered.

This is a huge part of why I train that I do not take for granted and it's something that most people do not consider as a reason to be active and to maintain a healthy body fat percentage.

The ability to do this isn't just weight loss.

It's the ability to be able to just do stuff without your body letting you down.

I'm gonna be straight with you, if there's a thought that you can't walk around on a city without needing Ubers or long rests, then something needs to change with your health & fitness.

It's my mission to make your fitness and your body to not even be a consideration as to if it would hinder your ability to do these things.

It's my mission to get you in a position where you say yes to this stuff without even thinking about it.

That's how memories are made. That's what adventure is.

That's why we

I've created a brand new (free) resource to help you identify where your fitness capability is at right now, no judgement, just a 5 minute quiz to assess where you're at.

Three years since Base Camp. Since then I've trained, stayed fit, kept consistent. But if I'm honest - no real goal. Just going through the motions.

That changed on Monday morning.

I'm in the Great North Run. September 2027. And the fire that's already lit from having a date in the diary, something I have to be ready for, is something I haven't felt in a while.

If you're in the same place right now - fit enough, consistent enough, but not really training for anything - maybe that's the thing that's missing.

Your goal doesn't have to be a half marathon.

It just has to mean something to you.

Have you got one?

I was never interested in normal.
Unfit. Overweight. Not capable.

I choose life.
I choose to be capable of more.

A lot of people believe that the reason they aren't losing weight or that they've gained weight is because their metabolism is broken...

I'm here to be honest with you.

That's not it.

But the good news is that means you can impact your ability to lose weight, or stop gaining it, if you want to of course.

Although there are factors and symptoms that make controlling your weight harder, it doesn't change the fact the answer is more related to the fact that your intake of calories is either the same or more than you expend if you're not losing weight.

As we age metabolism does change, but not as much as you think and not as early as you think.

Sometimes it's easier to externalise the problem or the cause than to accept it's something we can change, albeit it can be hard...

But who said it'd be easy?

It's not. That's why the average person is overweight and unfit.

If you do what 'everyone' does but expect the results of the few then it's just a misaligned expectation.

It takes more than you think and it's harder than you think it'll be.

But everyone who has even done it will tell you the same thing - they just wish they'd have started sooner.

Your metabolism isn't the problem, waiting for the right moment to change your lifestyle is.
