    Ep 496 - Relationships In Fitness Transformations

    Built for Life Newsletter: https://builtforlife.io Twice-weekly emails for high performers who want to look good, feel great and perform at their best    Book a 1-1 strategy session: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/ytapplynow  Why Your Partner Resists Your Fitness Journey (And What to Do About It): https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/why-your-partner-resists-your-fitness-journey    –   Why does your partner sometimes resist your fitness transformation, even when they say they support you?   In this episode, Akash and Ed break down the three phases where relationships tend to hit friction on a body transformation journey: the conversation before you even sign up, the moment your partner realizes how much is actually going to change, and the long-term shift once you're in shape and staying there.   They cover the different "buyer" archetypes people fall into when starting a program (including the ones who join in secret), why preaching to your partner almost always backfires, and how to ask for support in a way that actually works. Akash and Ed also share their own relationship habits, from a weekly five-point check-in ritual to how they've learned to divide training time with their own wives, and close with a simple but important point: if you wouldn't want your partner to overhear how you talk about them, that's a sign the conversation needs to happen directly.   Whether your partner is fully on board, quietly skeptical, or actively pushing back, this episode gives you a framework for navigating it, without turning your transformation into a source of tension at home.   Chapters:  0:05 Intro 1:02 Why Partners Resist Your Transformation 2:39 Phase 1: Before You Even Sign Up 5:48 Phase 2: Realizing What They Signed Up For 15:45 Phase 3: The Long Game 18:34 Getting Over the Resistance 21:16 Relationship Check-Ins and Marriage Talk 23:29 Avoiding Small Talk 24:08 The Preaching Trap 30:21 Reframing the Partner's Fears 30:28 Marathon Banter 30:53 Following Through and Specific Asks 33:48 Kids Logistics and Lockdown Lessons 35:46 Training Separately, Together 39:05 You Don't Need Matching Intensity 40:09 Paddle and Personal Purchases 42:20 The Weekly Relationship Check-In Ritual 44:45 Final Words 46:51 Outro   –   Follow us: Website - https://www.rntfitness.com  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rnt_fitness  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/akashvaghela YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@akash_vaghela

    Ep 495 - Hall of Fame | Dr. Margi Patel: From HbA1c 6.4 to 5.1, Reversing Her Path to Diabetes

    Built for Life Newsletter: https://builtforlife.io Twice-weekly emails for high performers who want to look good, feel great and perform at their best    Book a 1-1 strategy session: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/ytapplynow    –   On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I'm joined by Dr. Margi Patel, a dentist and mum living in the state of Georgia in the US, who is nine months into her journey with RNT and so far over 60 lbs down. She's on a truly remarkable journey of changing her habits, her lifestyle, her mental health, and her overall well-being.   For Margi, the trigger that hit home was seeing an HbA1c of 6.4 in a lab test. The moment she saw that number, she couldn't sleep all night, and shortly after, she came across RNT and knew it was the solution to get her back on track. Fast forward eight months, and not only is she 60+ lbs down, but her labs now show an HbA1c of 5.1, which is genuinely life-changing and life-extending, as she's avoided diabetes through this journey.   Margi's checkpoint is coming up in the next couple of months, so this is part one of her story, as we're still en route to that milestone, and I'm excited for her to reach it. What's especially cool is that only a few months into her first year, Margi committed to her second year, and recently committed to her third, knowing the power of the long-term journey with us at RNT. She's here for the full multi-year, five phase experience, not just to get in shape and move on. So let's dive in!   Chapters:  00:05 Introduction: Margi's Story 01:24 Welcome to RNT Fitness Radio 02:23 The Trigger Moments That Started the Journey 08:26 Choosing a Holistic Approach Over GLP-1s 11:01 Life Before RNT 17:06 Current Lab Results 19:16 Navigating Family and Cultural Judgment 27:17 A Word From RNT Fitness 27:50 The Conversation With Her Husband 33:52 Committing to Year Two and Year Three 37:21 Fitting Back Into Old Clothes 39:44 Balancing Motherhood, Work, and Training 43:12 Energy, Mindset, and Confidence 46:44 Becoming an Inspiration for Other Women 48:19 Advice for Anyone Fearing Judgment 49:39 Family Coming Around, Parents Join RNT 51:38 What Almost Kept Her From Starting 53:57 Looking Ahead to the US Event   –   Follow us: Website - https://www.rntfitness.com  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rnt_fitness  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/akashvaghela YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@akash_vaghela

    Ep 492 - Hall of Fame | Ailie Suzuki: Property Entrepreneur & Mum Loses 15kg and Gets Photoshoot Ready in 6 Months

    Built for Life Newsletter: https://builtforlife.io Twice-weekly emails for high performers who want to look good, feel great and perform at their best    Book a 1-1 strategy session: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/ytapplynow    Ailie moved to the UK from New Zealand in early 2024. Burnt out, stagnated, and carrying more weight than she'd let herself acknowledge. It took a series of photos at an event to make it undeniable. Six months later, she was 15kg down and standing in front of a camera at her photoshoot checkpoint.   What made this story stand out: Ailie was already losing weight on her own when she joined. She didn't think she needed much help. This conversation gets into why perimenopause made strength training non-negotiable, how she stayed on track through 4 weeks in Australia, what the final grind actually felt like, and why a shopping trip in Australia became one of the biggest wins of the whole journey.   – Chapters: 0:00 Introduction 5:45 The Photo That Started Everything 7:45 From Zookeeper to Desk Job 10:53 Sailing Past Every Plateau 13:12 Perimenopause and the Case for Strength 15:30 Her Real Why 17:25 Early Struggles With Nutrition 21:21 Why Protein Was Always Missing 22:04 Meal Prep in 15 Minutes 25:43 4 Weeks in Australia 28:48 Why She Booked a Photoshoot 30:30 The Grind 32:08 How the Physical Became the Vehicle 37:28 What Almost Stopped Her Joining 38:22 What She'd Say to Other Women 45:11 Final Words   Follow us: Website - https://www.rntfitness.com  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rnt_fitness  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/akashvaghela YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@akash_vaghela

Smitha's journey is an interesting one. She joined us prior to becoming pregnant, went on pause six months into her pregnancy, and rejoined nine months postpartum to get into the best shape of her life. All her life, she'd wanted to transform what she describes as a skinny-fat frame into a toned, strong-looking physique. And it wasn't until her transformation with us at RNT that she finally made it happen. Smitha is in her early 40s, a GP, entrepreneur and new mother - making this a great example of what can be done when you're ready to make serious changes in your life.   Chapters:  0:00 Introduction 1:49 Smitha's Starting Point 3:21 Why Go All In (Not Just "Walk More") 5:40 Fitness History & The Skinny Fat Trap 7:36 Nutrition Aha Moments 9:48 Stress Eating & Breaking Old Associations 11:12 How She Broke the Habits 13:22 Navigating Social Situations 15:48 Continuing Through Pregnancy 17:56 Postpartum: The First 6 Months 20:07 Why She Came Back 21:24 Rejoining on Maternity Leave 23:49 Working Out Around a Baby 27:12 The Photoshoot 29:13 From Novice to Lifting 20kg Dumbbells 33:22 How the Physical Became the Vehicle 35:34 What Almost Stopped Her 36:58 Advice for New Mums & Women Over 40 39:19 What's Next 40:31 Final Words   Follow us: Website - https://www.rntfitness.com  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rnt_fitness  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/akashvaghela YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@akash_vaghela

Today I'm joined by an RNT client, Dr. Harita Raja, who has recently entered her second year of the journey. I brought Harita on to share her story of dropping 40 pounds in her 40th year.   Before joining, Harita had never followed a properly structured programme. She found herself at a crossroads, weighing up whether to go down the GLP-1 route or commit to something structured like RNT Fitness. She decided to give the programme a shot, with a plan to fall back on medication if it didn't work out.   Lo and behold, she's now a completely new woman, inside and out, inspiring her family, her community, her patients, and many others to take control of their health. The irony? Everyone's now convinced she's on GLP-1s and can't quite believe it's been RNT Fitness all along.   I really enjoyed this conversation, and I think you will too. Be sure to check out her case study and pictures in the show notes.
