Why I Swapped The Gym For a TRX

I got DM’d this…

Hate gyms

2106 was the last time I used a gym.

I didn’t enjoy the atmosphere or culture. And I was so externally focused on the gym environment…

He looks better than me, he’s lifting more than me…

Waiting for the weights or the bench…

The awkwardness of the chats…

The grunts and groaning…

The cost of it all (I paid for a gym in London for eight years… That’s £6,800!).

I wasn’t even happy with my physique or ability to build lean, functional, strong, and healthy muscle.

(Yep, that’s me below in 2015. No, I did not lift it from the ground & look at that face!)

I was always trying to lift heavier than I could. Always getting injured.

I’d jump from nutrition plan to nutrition plan,

binging and restricting,

trying to gain muscle… then MUST lose fat a week later.

Eventually, it would all lead to a burnout and crash.

UNTIL… My willpower returned and then I’d go at it again EVEN HARDER.

Thinking I needed to do more round and round I’d go.

I had some success.

But ultimately, workouts and gym life left me frustrated, not elated.

All this coming from a personal trainer.

Then ONE STATEMENT changed my life:

“Your muscle doesn’t know where it is or what it’s holding…

All it knows is the tension you can place upon it through a range of motion. Regardless of what tool you use”

My false belief was that I MUST use weights in a gym.

I thought, “Why the F am I paying all this money to go somewhere I don’t enjoy for results I’m not happy with.”

So, I took a leap.

And decided to search for ways to build lean muscle and transform my body with just body weight.

Leaving the gym world turned me from an ‘ego fitness guy’ who thought he knew it all… to a ‘learner’

I went back to studying, researching, and paying for mentorships.

And started to look at connecting mind, body, and spirit as a whole through exercise.

A TRX suspension trainer became my exercise tool.

I focused on powerful mind-muscle connection.

Using workouts to internalise my focus…they became like meditation…

As I applied deeper mindset principles combined with effective ‘muscle-centric’ technique.

Not only did my physique continue to grow from developing lean muscle mass…

..but I noticed my social anxiety and procrastinations began to reduce.

My day to day life seemed to level up with friends, family, and business…

As I felt more confident, grounded, focused, and calm.

Over the next 6 years, I trained using only a suspension trainer and occasionally, resistance band.

No weights.

NO gym.

Four of those years in my small London flat and two whilst travelling Central & South America.

I consistently practised internally connecting with every muscle.

When my mind connected with my body in harmony, the results were incredible!

What’s more, they were exponential.

Taking fitness into my own hands and thriving like this felt so free, it felt like…

Hello, my friend… I help busy professionals build lean muscle and transform their bodies from home-with a TRX suspension trainer or resistance band, and simple nutrition optimisation. I call it Fitness Freedom!

I spent 8+ years as a personal trainer hating the ego-driven gym culture. Every day I saw busy professionals like you struggle to make sessions, feel intimidated by the environment, and regard the gym as a chore NOT enjoyment. Because of this, their results were limited. But they believed there was no other way. So in 2016, I setup Fitness Freedom Athletes. To teach you how to transform you body from home… so you never need to rely on gyms, diet fads, or anyone else’s schedule.
