Hello, my friend... It's my mission to help you build lean muscle and transform your body from home-with a suspension trainer, 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 clients 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 date, Fitness Freedom Athletes have helped over 8000+ transform their bodies (and lives!).
Downloaded 70,000+ times! Just tell me where to send it...
First up, welcome! Out of all the millions of websites out there thank you for visiting this one. Secondly, your interest and motivation will change your life. It did for me and thousands of fitness freedom athletes in our community of all ages. If you have a suspension trainer (like a TRX)...
The best place to start would be with the Beginner Suspension Trainer Total Body Transformation Program. It’s the most popular Program and will teach you the effective muscle-centric technique to transform your body and begin your life-changing journey.
If you’re seeking a resistance band Program, get stuck into the Band Muscle Pump Program which is for beginners/intermediates to learn the band muscle-centric technique and transform their body with just one resistance band.
Maybe you’ve tried suspension training before and it didn’t work, so you wonder how is this different?
Here’s the truth: You didn’t fail. The technique failed you.
Richard is 50 years old. He’d tried everything for his knee mobility problems. When he started my program, he told me: “I was skeptical because I’d tried suspension trainers before with no results.”
But here’s what changed everything… Richard learned Muscle-Centric Technique instead of the mindless “movement-centric” stuff he’d been doing from YouTube videos.
The difference – Instead of multiple muscles sharing the load (which creates zero growth stimulus), he learned to isolate individual muscles.
The result? In his own words: “I have dropped 12 lbs and gained 90% of my mobility back. The strength I have gained has helped significantly.”
Yes, you may have tried suspension training before. But you’ve never tried my suspension training technique. The one that actually builds lean muscle and transforms bodies.
The reframe: Your previous “failure” actually proves you need the RIGHT technique, not the RIGHT equipment.
Yes absolutely, I have The Fitness Freedom Suspension Trainer & Resistance Band Programs for all levels and fitness goals. They will teach you the effective 'Muscle-Centric Technique' that will transform your body! And cover everything from nutrition to mindset and performance execution.
PLUS, once you become a Fitness Freedom Athlete, you'll get access to a tun of member only resources and bonuses within the Fitness Freedom Athletes platform.
I got you covered for every challenge and every goal.
Plot twist: Being out of shape is your biggest advantage.
Joe said it perfectly: “Outstanding program. It is perfectly paced for true beginners who are looking for a way to start getting fit with a program that pushes you, but doesn’t ask too much too soon.”
The Programs have two phases specifically designed for this:
Phase 1 (4 weeks): Technique mastery and building your foundation Phase 2 (4 weeks): Transformation and strength building
Matt started overweight and out of shape. Result? “Lost 40+Lbs, getting lean, and showing great definition!”
Ben, another beginner, said: “I’ve been delighted with the Program…. thoughtful and well-rounded!”
The reframe: Starting “out of shape” means you’ll see the most dramatic transformation.
