They're full-time working parents - Nathan a pilot and Clare an occupational therapist. We helped them improve their health and lose fat in 16 weeks. All while juggling their careers, parenting, and social lives.
Here's how we did it:
The Problem
They struggled to lose fat and stay consistent, especially with the pace of Hong Kong lifestyle.
Their busy schedules left little time to plan healthy meals and training had never been a priority.
Minor injuries would often limit their progress especially with Nathan coming back from a big injury.
Regardless, here’s what we did:
Step 1: Create a tailored nutrition plan
Nathan needed a nutrition plan that adapted to his on-the-go lifestyle:
Make better food choices on plane journeys
Meal prep for longer layovers
Keep consistent eating schedules while abroad
Focus on proteins and fats for fat loss
We found healthier in-flight options, meal-prepped for layovers, and maintained consistent eating schedules abroad. We also prioritized proteins and fats for muscle growth, overall health, and fat loss.
Clare was able to utilise meal prep midweek and was tasked to eat more food initially to help with her transformation journey
Step 2: Personal Training 3x/Week
Every successful transformation requires an emphasis on strength training.
Despite being new to training as a couple:
We could tailor their programming
Both had specific targets and movements
Training together just enhances their journey
We adjusted Nathan's weight training to accommodate his hand injury. Training with Clare added enjoyment and accountability. We added in running sessions to counteract long flight hours and used a split body routine for optimal muscle growth and fat loss.
Step 3: Remote Coaching & Support
Nathan needed tools to stay on track while traveling:
Remote programming for hotel workouts
Plan for fitness facilities at destinations
Use the outdoors for extra cardio and running
Multiple food options with flexible targets
With busy schedules, both needed clear direction.
But we had to adapt as challenges came about.
We found the easy wins and shifted our focus to long term changes.
This allowed a sustainable plan which they could replicate without sacrificing social lives.
