Sound familiar?

It's not motivation.
It's one more thing to think about.

You already make a hundred decisions a day for work and everyone at home. Your fitness shouldn't be another one.

Let's Fix That →
  • Work, home, everyone else first. By 9pm there's nothing left for you
  • You want to lose the weight and build some strength, but there's so much conflicting advice you don't know what actually works
  • Your clothes feel tighter than they did, and your confidence has taken a knock
  • You start strong, then a busy week hits and it all slides
  • You'd love to walk into the gym knowing exactly what to do, not wandering around feeling awkward

About Malcolm

20 years corporate.
I get it.

I spent two decades in a corporate career before making coaching my full-time job, so I know exactly what it's like to try to train around back-to-back meetings, travel, family, and a body that doesn't bounce back like it used to.

I'm not going to shout at you, put you on 1,200 calories, or programme you like a 22-year-old athlete. I'm going to give you a plan that works with your life, and hold you to it.

Results

Real people. Real results.

No filters, no fitness models. Just people who decided it was their turn.

Naorin before and after training with Malcolm
Naorin Years of training hard on her own without seeing results. Now she's seriously strong, with shape and an athletic look she'd never had.
Lawrence before and after training with Malcolm
Lawrence Visibly leaner, with clear gains in strength and fitness from training with me.
Zoe before and after training with Malcolm
Zoe For years she couldn't shift the belly that was holding back her running. Now she's lighter, and running faster times than ever.
Beech before and after training with Malcolm
Beech Sporty, but never a gym fan. Two to three months in, he's leaner, full of energy and looks forward to every session.
Shads before and after training with Malcolm
Shads Lifting heavier than ever, and now doing pull-ups. Strong, confident and not slowing down.
Yamila before and after training with Malcolm
Yamila A dancer years ago who missed feeling that way. Now in her mid-50s, her confidence and shape are back, and she feels stronger and fitter than ever.

"Malcolm knows exactly when to encourage you, when to push you and how to make sure everyone feels included, regardless of their fitness level. There’s a brilliant group of people, lots of laughter and support, and I’m already feeling stronger."

"It’s great to have variety each week, someone to help me to keep up consistency with training and gentle encouragement from the rest of the group. I’m really starting to notice progress in my strength and confidence and that’s all thanks to Malcolm’s help."

★★★★★

"After exchanging greetings a few times at the gym, I finally approached Malcolm, and I'm so glad I did. Malcolm has provided structure, guided me through proper routines, and given me the extra determination and drive to push myself further. My only regret is not reaching out sooner!"

FAQ

Questions people actually ask

I haven't trained properly in years. Is this for me?

Especially for you. Most of my clients arrive after a long break, where things went wrong or life simply took priority. When they get back into it, they want structure and a plan that works, one that gets results in far less time than trying to figure it out themselves or dusting off programmes they ran 10 or 15 years ago.

Do I need to know what I'm doing in the gym?

No, that's my job. Your plan tells you exactly what to do, with short videos for each exercise, and you send me clips so I can check your form. Within a few weeks you'll walk in knowing your plan and feeling confident doing it.

Do I need a gym membership?

Yes. You'll get the most out of the programme with a gym membership and a full range of equipment at hand. That's the best bang for your buck.

I travel a lot for work. Will this fall apart?

That's exactly what online coaching is built for. Your programme adapts to hotel gyms and busy weeks, and the weekly check-in keeps you on track even when the diary explodes.

What if I don't hit my goal?

We agree a realistic target together on our first call. Then you do your part, every session in your plan, your weekly check-in, two form videos a week and your food targets. Do that, and if you're not there after 12 weeks, I'll keep coaching you for free until you are.

What about nutrition? I'm not weighing chicken breast.

Good, because I won't ask you to. You get simple targets and a handful of changes that fit around work lunches, family dinners and the odd glass of wine. Small changes that add up.

What happens when I message you?

I'll reply personally and ask a few questions about where you're at and what you want. If I can help, I'll tell you exactly how. If I'm not the right fit, I'll tell you that too. Once you're signed up, we have a 30-minute call to build your plan around you. No pressure, no hard sell.

Ready to stop overthinking it?

Send me "PLAN" on WhatsApp and tell me a bit about your week. I'll take it from there.

Prefer to tell me about yourself first?

Not everyone wants to message straight away, and that's completely fine. Fill in a short application, tell me where you're at and what you want, and I'll be in touch personally.
