I have recently been running more in preparation for my Muay Thai fight, as the miles and frequency have been increasing I am being forced into focusing on optimising my technique to avoid injury and fatigue.  I took a visit to the running room and there were so many insights and takeaways I knew I needed to get them on here.

Today I’m joined by Matt Smith, aka Matt The Cat, the winner of our 2022 giveaway competition, to talk about his journey of going from 300lbs down to 160lbs, where he now rocks a physique he never thought was possible. In this candid story, Matt talks about how his childhood shaped his habits, led to his crazy weight gain, and then how one pivotal moment at a party changed the course of his life.

Christmas had come and gone. And Mark was looking back at some of the memories, when he spotted a video that took him by surprise. He was out of breath sitting down, with his stomach on display. He felt embarrassed, and immediately knew he needed to do something about it. With many of his friends having transformed with RNT, he knew there was only one place to make it happen. The rest is history. The biggest challenge for Mark was the knowledge on how to get results when you’re time poor and juggling multiple priorities. As an active father and busy entrepreneur running multiple businesses, Mark needed a structure, strategy and system that worked for HIS lifestyle. And since starting RNT in May 2021, just after his 50th birthday, Mark is now unrecognisable. He’s gone from 105kg to 71.3kg. His energy and confidence is through the roof. And he’s used the physical as the vehicle to level up every aspect of his life. Over the course of this journey, he’s acquired over 60 deals in the property space, sold a busine

When Thiago became a dad in 2019, he started thinking back to his childhood. Growing up, his father couldn’t do any intense exercise due to 5 heart operations. So it was always clear when his time came, he’d want to be able to do whatever they wanted with him; whether it be running, swimming, playing or jumping. At the end of 2021, Thiago noticed his vitality was decreasing. He was constantly looking for places to sit down when he was out to play with his daughter. Which is when he realised something needed to change. Having listened to the RNT podcast for years, Thiago had RNT at the top of his mind. But initially, he wanted to try to figure it out himself. Lacking accountability, support and guidance, he fell into the Monday to Friday dieting trap. “I was eating pizzas on Fridays, burgers on Saturdays, and brownies on Sunday afternoon with wine at night”. This coupled with hopping from one fitness programme to the next, every few weeks, meant Thiago was getting nowhere. Until he decided to bite the bullet,

I got a really special one for you today with one of my best friends, Abhi Thakur. Abhi’s been on one hell of a journey with us at RNT, having dropped 32kg in the past 15 months since we launched Pro in October 2021. The crazy bit is he’s still going, with another 10-15kg to reach his life-long dream of six-pack abs. I recorded this a few days ago whilst training in Phuket with Abhi, who happens to have one of the biggest work capacities and training intensities I’ve seen. As a high performing city executive who’s absolutely crushing it in his career, health has always been the missing piece of the puzzle. Until now. Seeing his behaviour, mindset and identity totally transform has been a pleasure to witness, and this episode goes deep into exactly what it takes to radically change yourself. We’ll be sharing the full story and case study as he reaches his checkpoint, but having spent 2 weeks with Abhi seeing the new man in action, we just had to hit record!   Support Akash & icanyoucantoo   Fight tickets

Today I’m joined by a good friend of mine, Kuldip Sahota, to talk about goals. What they are, how they work, and most of all, how to avoid failing on the ones you’ve set. As serial entrepreneur and investor, Kuldip co-founded Mr. Singhs from a garden shed in East London and grew it from a startup to a global food brand in just 3 years. Featured by the likes of the BBC, Sunday Times, The Telegraph and more; His businesses supplied Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Selfridges; attracted millions of viral video views; and he even advised 10 Downing Street on business strategy. Having had his own life transformed by business coaching he decided to train as a coach himself and pass on his hard-won experience to clients.     Support Akash & icanyoucantoo   Fight tickets Justgiving Page   Book A Call To Start Your Journey!   Thanks so much for listening!

Today I’m recording to you live from Phuket with a great friend of mine, Abhi, who jumps on the mic for the first time to interview me on a few recent questions I’ve been getting on the DMs. We dive into my Muay Thai journey, my first upcoming fight, body dysmorphia, our brand new app we’ve launched, and some of what makes RNT so special. By the way, I’m now 7 weeks out from my first fight, if you’re in the UK and would like to attend, I’ve put the links in the show notes. In these 7 weeks, my aim is to also raise £5000 for a social enterprise very close to my heart, icanyoucantoo, who’s goal is to provide underprivileged youth in London to coaching, access and resources to fulfil their potential.

On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio I’m joined by Korby Waters, a business expert you’ll have never heard of, until today. Korby is a good friend of mine who I’ve learnt a ton from over the years, in life, mindset, relationships and business. He’s the brains behind many big names in different industries, and learnt from many of the OGs of direct marketing and personal development. With it being the start of the year, this episode is going to be perfect for you to ask the right questions, build a resilient mindset, and make sure you follow through on what you’ve committed to achieving.

Welcome back to another episode of RNT Fitness Radio, and today I’m joined by RNTers Ujj and Naini, who in 2022, lost an astonishing 60 kilos between them! What I love about their story is that it’s the perfect example of what’s possible when you put the blinders up, and just go all in on your transformation. As always, this transformation is more than just the physical. And in this episode, you’ll see how they’re both using the physical as the vehicle to do things they never thought possible, whilst creating generational health for their families.

Got something a little different for you today. Instead of physical fitness, we’re going to dive deep into financial fitness! A friend of mine, Huw Davies, loves helping people solve money problems, so they can get on with the more important things in life. His aim is to make you financially free whilst putting a smile on your face. The beauty of this episode is it’s one for everyone, no matter your income bracket. And Huw explains some strategic shifts you can make in your expenses, savings and investing to maximise your income, and most of all, set yourself up for life. Huw’s own story starts from being up to his eyeballs in debt. Until he decided enough is enough. So he became financially independent in 2016, whereby he built a stocks and shares portfolio he could live off, coupled with a £1m property portfolio, all in the space of 18 months.   Disclaimer - This is not financial advice. Huw is not a qualified financial advisor. He shares his experience with money and his content is for entertainment purpos

My in-laws have lost 60kg+ combined. It started with Chetan in Oct 2020, when he found out he was going to be a dad. Having slowly gained weight for years, he knew he needed to change his lifestyle if he wanted to be the best dad for his son.   6 months later he was 25kg down, and he’s kept it off since. The ripple effect spread to his wife Pooja, who after gaining weight pre + post pregnancy, hated what she saw in the mirror. Low in confidence, energy and losing her identity, she wanted to make a change. This was Oct 2021. A year later she’s down 25+kg with a few more to go to hit her goal.   The dominos continued to fall, next with my mother-in-law, Ella. With arthritis and cholesterol concerns, I gifted her RNT for her 60th this year. And just before Xmas, she said, “by the way guys, I’ve hit my checkpoint!”    Losing 10kg, she now has the energy to run around (endlessly!) with her grandson. Her pain in her wrist is gone, and I suspect (tests to confirm soon), her cholesterol is under control. She’s also t

Welcome to the final episode of RNT Fitness Radio in 2022. Continuing with a tradition I’ve kept since 2017, I’m going to break down my top learnings for the year, in fitness, business and life.

On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I’m joined by Will Chicomb, who’s taking the British natural bodybuilding scene by storm. It’s rare I meet athletes early in their career and just know they’re going to go all the way to the top. Will is that guy. After becoming the British teen bodybuilding champion in 2018, he then stepped up the age categories to take overall titles at the BNBF British midlands this year, and 3rd in the overall British finals. What’s crazy is he also won the overall at the PCA muscle talk championships this year, where he went up against bodybuilders who’d been using performance enhancing drugs for decades.   This episode is a deep dive into all things bodybuilding, as we compare notes and discuss our respective approaches to physique enhancement. I was recently introduced to Will through our supplement partners, Optimum Nutrition, so last week I went down to their headquarters in London to record this episode with Will. Which reminds me, if you’re looking to stock up on your supplemen

On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio I bring the team on to discuss whether getting shredded, and dieting to an extreme, where you push yourself as hard as you can to do something you never thought possible, is worth doing. And of course, whether some of the recent media around dieting, extreme fat loss, and getting shredded, is actually true. We segue nicely into discussing what a true transformation actually entails, and what to consider to see if you’re ready for one.   Time Stamps   02.00 Where did this idea come from - Getting SHREDDED Bad For You? 06.00 Where it goes from in the fitness journey. 08:00 Are you being too aggressive?  12.25 - Are you dieting?  13.35 - Are you just dipping your toes? 17.20 - What does it mean to be “All in” 20.30 - Taking control  21.50 - What a physical transformation does to you mentally.  25.15 - Actions Vs Priorities  32.00 - What do you want with your life?  36.30 - Why you need to have a plan 38.00 - Future thinking  43.00 - Your top 3 priorities Book A Call To Star

Today I’ve got a very special Hall of Fame episode of RNT Fitness Radio, where I’m joined by Melanie Aiello, who after literally three decades of trying everything and anything to get her dream body, she finally accomplished it this year with RNT.   This one goes deeper than just achieving her physique, as Melanie dives into the reasons for her struggles, where it all stemmed from, and how she’s managed to navigate through all the challenges.   Before we dive into Melanie’s story, I wanted to remind you of our podcast giveaway we’re running right now in celebration of reaching 300 episodes, and the goal to level up the podcast production.   For the next 25 reviews submitted on Apple Podcasts, our supplement partners, Optimum Nutrition, have very kindly agreed to send you a free supplement starter pack with the basic essentials you need on your fitness journey.

Sid realised after struggling with Covid-19 he needed to make a change. With his 40s on the horizon, regaining control of his health was his number one priority. The problem was, he was constantly making excuses about why he couldn’t do it. Because he’d tried it all.   Personal trainers, fad diets, cookie cutter plans, and so on. Until he came across RNT. And saw people just like him, achieving life-changing transformations that went beyond just six-pack abs. That went beyond just diet and training. And even then, he wasn’t sure if he believed they were for real. Until he started exploring all the case studies, podcasts and stories on the site..    Physically, he’s unrecognisable, 20kg down. Mentally and emotionally, he’s discovered a new lease of life. The October 2021 Sid is now unrecognisable.   Now I’m now pumped to see how he continues to progress in his journey, with the goal of building a sustainable lifestyle solution to stay in shape for the next 40 years!   Before we dive into Sid’s story, I wanted
