    Fed Up, Overweight and Snapping at Everyone He Loved: Guy's Life-Changing Transformation

    He was on the living room floor playing with his six-year-old son. When he tried to get up, he could not do it easily. A former rugby player. A national-level rugby coach. A man who had always been active his whole life. And in that moment he thought this is not right. Guy Gibson is 42 years old. He works two weeks on and two weeks off on oil rigs in Aberdeen. He had tried to sort things himself for years. He kept going round in circles. Then he lost 15 kilos, ran his first half marathon, and booked a cycling race in Mallorca. In this episode Guy sits down with me for a completely unscripted, raw and honest client hot seat covering everything. The moment on the floor. The back pain. The snapping at the people he loved most. The night shifts. The rugby career that defined him and then ended. And the journey that changed everything. We talk about: Why stepping away from playing rugby left a gap he never expected.How his weight and mood were quietly affecting everyone around him.What he tried before and why it kept failing. What finally made him reach out and what shocked him about the process. How he lost 12 kilos working night shifts and two week oil rig rotations.What the half marathon finish line felt like and what Mallorca means to him now. If you have ever been the fit one, the sporty one, the active one and then looked up one day and thought how did I get here, this episode is going to hit differently. 📲 Apply for coaching → https://forms.gle/RBKcgoazqTzaLkCF8 📲 Follow me on Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/simonjohnsonfitness/

    The 5 Unbreakable Rules of People Who Stay Lean, Strong and Fit Forever

    Most people are not out of shape because they lack discipline. They are out of shape because nobody ever gave them the right rules to live by. After 30 years of coaching between us and thousands of transformations, me and James have seen every mistake, every breakthrough and everything in between. And when we strip it all back, the people who get in incredible shape and never go back all live by the same five rules. Not habits. Not hacks. Rules. The kind you do not negotiate with. The kind that survive a hectic week, a holiday, a bad month or a life that looks nothing like the plan. In this episode we share them all. What we do ourselves. What our best clients do. And the one at the end that nobody ever sees coming but changes everything. If you have been starting over for longer than you want to admit, this is the episode that ends that cycle. 📲 Apply for coaching → https://forms.gle/RBKcgoazqTzaLkCF8 📲 Follow me on Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/simonjohnsonfitness/

    Personal Trainers, Group Classes and No Results. How Kirsty Finally Lost 12kg and Got Her Life Back

    Kirsty tried personal trainers. She tried group classes. She was showing up, putting in the effort, and going nowhere. Then she lost 12 kilos, 27 pounds, overcame binge eating, completely transformed her relationship with food and training, and got her confidence back in a way she never expected. But that is only half the story. In this episode Kirsty comes back as our first ever returning guest to talk about what happened after the transformation. A new house, a new job, financial pressure, and the decision to try and go it alone. What happened next is something so many people will relate to. We talk about: Why personal trainers and group classes were getting her nowhere and what was actually missing. How she lost 12kg and overcame binge eating for good. What happened when she tried to go it alone and what she learned from it. Why getting results is only half the battle and what long term maintenance actually looks like. How to spot your personal warning signs before a wobble turns into a full derail. Why her baseline never went back to zero even when things got tough. What it actually takes to make this stick for life. Raw, honest and real. If you have ever felt like you are putting in the effort and getting nothing back, or if you have got results and then lost them, this one is for you. ▶️ Go back and listen to Kirsty's first episode for the full picture. 📲 Apply for coaching → https://forms.gle/RBKcgoazqTzaLkCF8 📲 Follow me on Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/simonjohnsonfitness/

    Life, Goals and the Honest Truth About Figuring It All Out. A Raw Catch Up With Coach James

    No tactics. No framework. No lesson plan. Just me and coach James getting real about life. In this episode we talk about what is actually going on in our worlds right now. James is growing a mullet, getting into gardening and learning to DJ. I am navigating life in Dubai, battling doom scrolling and having what I can only describe as a 30 percent life crisis. But somewhere in the middle of all of that we get into some stuff that I think will genuinely hit home. We talk about why hobbies outside of fitness actually matter, the relationship between phones and stress and why most of us are losing hours every day without even noticing, what it really means to want something versus actually going to get it, why fitness is not really about the abs or the marathon time, it is about who you become in the process, and the number one way to build confidence that nobody talks about. We also get into our big goals right now, how our training is going, what is coming next for APEX Health, and the honest reality that nobody has it all figured out. We are all just winging it. If you have been enjoying the more educational episodes, this one is a bit different. Raw, real and probably one of my favourites we have done. 📲 Apply for coaching → https://forms.gle/RBKcgoazqTzaLkCF8 📲 Follow me on Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/simonjohnsonfitness/

    Ex-Marine Mike, Goes From Wheelchair & 300lbs to Fitter Than He Was in the Military

    Mike served five years in the Marines. He was deployed to Afghanistan. He got hit by an IED. When he got out, his body fell apart. Within six months he'd gained 60 pounds. Old injuries caught up with him. He ended up in a wheelchair for seven months showering outside with a hose because he couldn't get upstairs. At his heaviest he was over 300 pounds. Today, he's more muscular, more capable, and more fit than he was in the Marine Corps. His son asked for a pull-up bar for Christmas because he saw his dad doing pull-ups. His wife calls his biceps her emotional support biceps. And last week he hit the pavement for a morning run at 7am, birds singing, 30 seconds faster than the week before. This is one of the most powerful conversations I've ever had on this podcast. We talk about: What life really looks like when you leave the military and nobody tells you what comes nextHow Mike went from wheelchair to losing 70 poundsThe mindset of a man who never missed a session, even working night shifts with three kidsWhy the scales stopped mattering, and what he focuses on insteadHow getting in shape changed his kidsWhat lead, protect and provide really means when you're a fatherIf you need a kick up the ass today, this is it. 📲 Apply for coaching → https://forms.gle/RBKcgoazqTzaLkCF8 📲 Follow me on Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/simonjohnsonfitness/
