I broke the cycle because I had to. At one point, my life was completely off the rails, mentally, physically, and emotionally. I was drinking daily, signed off work with my mental health, being seen by the NHS crisis team, and carrying over 55% body fat. I had tried discipline, extreme rules, perfect plans, and punishment-style training, but none of it fixed years of damage. Rock bottom has a brutal clarity to it, and what I learned is that perfection does not rebuild a life. Consistency does.
What finally changed everything was building a strong, repeatable week. Something I could rely on even when life was not going well. Not theory. Not trends. Real structure that survived chaos. Over time, the bad days became fewer, the good days became normal, and I stopped starting again every Monday. That exact process is now the foundation of how I coach. My mission is simple. To help people break the same cycle I was stuck in and build strength, fitness, and confidence that actually lasts.
