On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, we dissect our most popular article ever written - How Heavy Will You Be When Lean. Inside this podcast, we dissect new findings relative to BMI, example RNTers relative to their muscle mass and journey, and how to improve your standing on the ranges listed, which comes through building muscle over time.

Recovering from an abusive relationship, Karen is a single-mum who works full-time in a demanding job in London. Her traumatic relationship shook her to the core and was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after many sleepless nights.  She had awful night terrors and was surviving on less than 3 hours of sleep every night. Karen uses exercise, especially weight training to bring about a sense of balance in her life. She leveraged all of RNT’s  accountability systems to support her journey and has achieved a level of ‘shredded’ that you can easily compare to that of bodybuilders!   In Episode 235 Karen Burfoot talks about how much exercise means to her and how ‘training to failure’ makes her feel powerful and strong.

Tired and exhausted from trying to conceive for a couple of years, Ella wanted a change of scene.

In this episode of #RNTFitnessRadio we pull the pin and ask: what really matters in the realm of body transformation? Is it 80% nutrition, is it all about training, do steps count? We answer the question to: when life gets busy, what actually produces your results. This is for those who are en route to getting into shape and for those deeply investing in muscle growth, where the ratios, percentages and priorities shift. We discuss how to eat, train and live when life gets busy, if improving your body is a priority.    "The 80/20 rule is incredible!

Maria came to us over a year ago fed up with feeling like she was always dieting.   With a history of diabetes in the family, and more people around her battling with their weight, she didn't want to risk reaching 40 only to discover everything inside of her was failing. She wanted to make changes to her life, and most importantly, make changes in a way that's sustainable for her for years to come. She wanted to transform while gaining an education. And a year later, she's got into the shape of her life, stayed there for a while, and is loving learning more about nutrition, mindset and lifestyle everyday. On this episode of RNT Fitness, I’m joined by Maria to discuss her journey. It’s a truly remarkable story, and you’ll hear from Maria’s emotions just how deep this goes, and how much she’s harnessed the power of the physical as the vehicle! Be sure to check out the case study linked in the show notes! “Start making the changes as soon as you can.” - Maria Chico Timestamps:     00:00 – Intro 00:15 –

On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I’m joined by Julia Scoville, who as a busy mother and entrepreneur, has totally transformed her mind, body and life to be in the shape of her life, for life. She’s lost over 20kg, and in her own words, looks better than on her wedding day! The biggest lesson for her on this journey was that she was finally able to put herself first, leveraging some of the RNT principles of decision fatigue, meal prep and having non-negotiables in place. This is an awesome story of a woman who decided to take back control, regain focus, and unleash high performance.  “The way to get the best version of yourself is to invest in it.” - Julia Scoville   Timestamps:   00:00 – Intro 00:15 – Julia as a Mum 04:05 – What caused her to gain weight 07:45 – Changes after her trigger moments 10:05 – How she overcame challenges with time 12:45 – Onboarding her family 16:20 – Challenges along her journey 21:15 – How she maintained her new image 24:50 – Myths busted in her journey 26:30 – Reali

At the end of 2019, for our January 2020 intake, we ran a 'Golden Ticket' competition, whereby the person who booked the last spot on the cohort, was to win a FREE photoshoot with @skotvisuals during their transformation journey. The winner, Ram, completed his photoshoot earlier this year after dropping nearly 40kg over the course of just over a year, and right through Covid-19, and in this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I sit down with him to dive deep into this story of achieving this incredible 1st transformation checkpoint. Every journey and story are unique, and witnessing how much Ram's has changed his life for the better since starting is exactly why we do what we do!   Be sure to check out the case study linked in the show notes!   “I have learned things in my journey that bleed into all areas of life.”    - Ram Patel Timestamps:     00:00 – Intro 00:10 – Ram’s life before 2019 04:15 – The triggers to start the journey 08:00 – Dealing with issues 11:40 – Mental process and poor choices 16:05

The number one driver of muscle building is simple: training hard. You can eat in a calorie surplus, use perfect form, and pick the right exercises - all of which are necessary too, but if you don’t apply serious intensity, nothing will happen. In fact, without intensity, you’ll probably just gain a load of body fat. I know we’ve spoken about the choice you have at the point you’re in the shape of your life - embracing the fluff, or a lifestyle solution. The reality is, you have to earn the right to embrace the fluff, and if that’s your choice on the spectrum, this podcast is going to give you the things to consider before choosing this path. “There’s so much more in training than getting results every week.” - Ivan Gavranic Timestamps:   00:00 – Intro 01:33 – Realities of embracing the fluff 04:00 – Perfecting training intensities 08:05 – Feeling about how you look 11:11 – Feeling comfortable about the process 16:30 – The psychological factor about acceptance 18:35 – Investing more to get more resul

Every session is an opportunity to grow, in some shape or form. So, whatever you can do to optimise the hour you spend in the gym means more gains, more strength and more results. In this episode, we dive into how we manipulate our training environment based on training in the morning, afternoon or evening, how it coincides with work, and why solid training and activity is the crux of being a high performer.   “In a not so optimized environment, making things practical is important.” - Ed Pilkington Timestamps:   00:00 – Intro 02:16 – Training times and optimisation tips from Ivan 05:55 – Training times and optimisation tips from Ed 10:50 – Cycling for cardio sessions 14:30 – Akash’s training times 16:10 – Strict training management 19:20 – The trap of delaying training sessions 24:50 – Daily movement and productivity 28:20 – Benefits of training in the morning 32:15 – Salt and hydration 37:30 – Not to over caffeinate in the evening 40:25 – Wrap up Thanks so much for listening!

A few months before Akshar started his RNT Journey in May 2020 during a fire drill he had to carry his daughter and puppy down several flights of stairs. He was shocked and surprised that what should have been a routine and simple activity felt so hard. That was the first of the two alarm bells that went off in his head.  The second alarm bell was less of a shocker, but the long-term effect on the quality of his life really drove the point home. During park dates with his then 1-year-old daughter, he was barely able to keep up with her as she explored. He was self-conscious when he noticed that other fathers were able to keep going while he simply could not.  That became the trigger for Akshar to start a remarkable journey which saw him drop 70lbs, and most importantly, gain the energy, strength, and vitality to be the best possible father and husband for his family. Akshar transformed his body and life, and is using the physical as the vehicle, and in this podcast, he discusses just how far he’s come.

Akash Vaghela is the Founder of RNT Fitness, where his mission is to see a world where everyone experiences the power of the physical as the vehicle to transform their lives.   On this podcast, Akash discusses all the tools you need to transform every facet of your life, as he brings on fellow members of his team, world class experts in their respective fields, and students of the RNT journey.   If you want to be educated, grow and transform, this is a podcast you don't want to miss.   For more, please visit: www.rntfitness.com.

When Navpriya first came to us, she had, in her own words, a fulfilling career, loving children and a wonderful husband, but she didn’t like how she felt.

That’s when she started her own journey, got into the shape of her life, and is now using the physical as the vehicle to be a high performer in all areas.

On this week’s episode of RNT Fitness Radio, we discuss one of the biggest problems holding people back from making the progress they want: their relationships. Without fail, every single week we’ll hear from our members citing a spouse, partner, or friend as the cause of the muck that is holding them back. It can be debilitating and a massive drain on your progress if you don’t fix it, which is why on this episode we discuss the different dynamics to pay attention to, and most importantly, how to solve the problem.
