    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/

    She Tried Everything, Ozempic, Starvation Diets, Her Doctor. Then Lost 13kg and Found Herself Again

    Rebecca tried everything. Starvation diets. Ozempic. Blood tests. Her doctor told her she might just be naturally bigger. She was crying on the gym floor after sessions she knew weren't working. She wouldn't even take her wedding dress out of the bag because she knew it wouldn't fit. Then she made one decision that changed everything. In this episode I sit down with Rebecca compliance officer, newlywed, and one of the most inspiring people I've had on this podcast to talk about her full journey. 13kg down, lifting double her bodyweight, wedding dress taken in three times, and a completely different relationship with herself. We talk about: Why she avoided reaching out for so long and what finally made her do itThe hidden calories that were silently wrecking her progressHow her confidence went from zero to owning every room she walks intoWhy the scales became almost irrelevantThe mindset shift from weight loss to performance that makes it all stickWhat she'd say to anyone still sitting on the fenceIf you've tried everything and still feel stuck this one is for you. 📲 Ready to stop searching for a quick fix and actually do this properly?

    Stop Training Like You're 25.  How to Actually Get Results as You Get Older You're not 25 anymore.  And training like you are is exactly why you're not getting the results you want. In this episode, I sit down with our head performance coach, James Pace 46 years old, an ultramarathon runner, with 16 years in the industry, to break down exactly how training, nutrition, recovery, and lifestyle need to adapt as you move through your 30s, 40s, and 50s.
