BARRY’s JOURNEY

His story

When Barry first came to me, his goal was clear: build a bigger back and shoulders, and define his abs within 6 months. Like most men, the appeal of a six-pack was strong—but what many don’t realise (and Barry soon learned) is that getting lean enough to actually see abs requires real change, not just training harder.

At the time, Barry was working 60–80 hours per week in a high-pressure, sedentary job. Stress was high, sleep was poor, and alcohol had become his main way to switch off. Despite having a gym in his office, he barely exercised—it was just another part of work, and work always came first.

That’s where my coaching came in.

I worked with Barry first 1-2-1 in person, getting to know him, his habits, and his lifestyle. From there, we built a plan that worked around his busy schedule, not against it. We focused on structured training, daily movement through walks to de-stress, and improving his nutrition so he could fuel his body properly without restriction.

The results? Life-changing.

Not only did Barry hit his initial goal, but he took things further. He pushed himself to do a professional photoshoot, absolutely smashed it, and is now preparing for an even bigger challenge—his first solo shoot, where he’s aiming to exceed what he’s already achieved and ensure he gets his abs defined.

Barry’s journey proves that even the busiest men—working long hours, balancing stress, and struggling with consistency—can still build muscle, get lean, and achieve the physique they’ve always wanted with the right coaching.

And this is just the beginning for him.
