This one’s personal…

Being a new dad has been incredible. Pure joy. But it’s also kicked my butt in ways I never expected.

You know that foggy-headed, irritable feeling when you’re running on empty?

That was me most days.

The constant colds from soft play visits (why do those places always lead to sniffles?)…

The mood swings from broken sleep…

And the struggle of motivation to maintain my fitness when I barely had energy to function.

Sound familiar?

I knew I needed a boost.

So I turned to supplements (don’t worry no supplements to sell here).

I’ve always used supps for health and fitness. Normally rotating them depending on goals and seasons.

Here’s what I turned to to help with being a new parent:

Reishi mushroom extract: To help boost immunity.

Cordyceps mushroom extract: For a natural energy boost

Ashwagandha root extract: To clear the mental fog

And I also took 3 types of magnesium:

Magnesium malate for mood…

Magnesium bisglycinate to fight body inflammation that comes with stress…

And magnesium taurate for blood sugar balance and aid with energy.

It’s not a magic formula that will eradicate the challenges of new parenthood, but it helped me.

Supplements alone aren’t enough though.

It’s CRUCIAL to maintain muscle mass as you age.

Remember my mantra? Muscle is life.

I squeeze in quick suspension trainer muscle-building workouts during my son’s naps. Right here in my office.

No gym needed.

No wasted commute time.

Just focused, muscle-centric technique that maintains strength and keeps my body performing at its best.

(And yes, I’m biased towards suspension training. But as a dad, I find it more accessible for lean muscle than it has ever been.)

Listen, if you’re a parent struggling right now, I get it. Really.

But you don’t have to choose between being a great parent and feeling strong and fit.

You just need the right tools and approach.

Try those supps and start with just one suspension trainer workout between naps or meetings.

Focus on that mind-muscle connection…

Feel the tension in each movement…

And watch how your body (and mind) transform, even in the chaos of parent life.

Here’s to strengthening while parenting,

P.S: Remember: isolation and tension beat mindless movement every time. More on this next.

Hello, my friend… I help busy professionals build lean muscle & transform their bodies using just a suspension trainer & 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 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 has helped over 8000+ busy professionals transform their bodies (and lives!).

Start here to transform yours too!

I'm new to Suspension Training, where shall I start?

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.

What makes this different from other suspension training Programs?

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.

  • What you tried before: Movement-centric technique (multiple muscles sharing load)
  •  What these Programs teach: Muscle-centric technique (isolated muscle overload)
  • Why it matters: Only isolated muscles get the stimulus needed for real growth

The reframe: Your previous “failure” actually proves you need the RIGHT technique, not the RIGHT equipment.

Do you have any training courses or Workout Programs?

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.

What if I'm too out of shape?

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!”

  • Beginner advantage #1: No bad habits to unlearn
  • Beginner advantage #2: Fastest initial gains
  • Beginner advantage #3: Most dramatic visible changes

The reframe: Starting “out of shape” means you’ll see the most dramatic transformation.

There are so many 'scammers' online, how can I trust you?

Where are you based?

I am mainly based in London, UK. But I love travelling, specifically backpacking our beautiful world and experiencing other cultures... So most likely I may be based on the side of a mountain or little beach hut. Perhaps I’ll even meet you in person at some point… That would be just awesome!
