Your Diet Is Working. You Just Can't See It Yet

Sun, 06 Sep 2026 07:00:00 -0000

Three weeks in. You're training. You're eating properly. The mirror hasn't
caught up and the scale has stopped moving. Nothing has gone wrong. You're early, and you're measuring the wrong thing.

This week Nick and Grant are joined by Southampton personal trainer and nutrition coach Gemma Paddington to unpack the three week wall: why the scale drops fast and then stalls, why quick weight change is almost never fat, and what's actually changing underneath while you can't see a thing.

We get into glycogen and water weight, weight loss vs fat loss, why Gemma times progress photos around a client's cycle, the client whose scale weight went UP 2kg and why that was good news, weekend calories, refeeds vs cheat days, the comparison trap, and how precise you actually need to be with food depending on where you're starting from.

Plus what all three of us have had to unlearn this year, and what to actually do when you hit week three and want to quit.

If you've ever said "I'm doing everything right and nothing's happening",
this one's for you.

Every Goal I Set as a Kid, I Quit. Then I Did an Ironman.

Sun, 30 Aug 2026 07:00:00 -0000

Every goal I set as a kid, I quit. The Marines, two weeks from
Greenberry. SAS selection. A business that folded in COVID. Cycling the
length of Britain. At 35, the Ironman is the first one I've actually
ticked off that list.

Grant and I break down what the last 12 months really cost: the 11 to 15
hour training weeks, the social life, the strength work I loved, the beer
gardens I cycled past. Why "I don't have time" almost always means "I
don't have the energy." Why discipline shows up AFTER commitment, not before it. And the question that nearly broke me the day before the race:

Does it still count as an Ironman if they cancel the swim?

If you're strength-first and you think endurance is out of your reach,
this one's for you.

He Ran a World Record Marathon With Heart Disease (ft. Archie Hunt)

Sun, 23 Aug 2026 07:00:00 -0000

Archie Hunt was born ten weeks early with a heart that isn't supposed to let him run. In April he ran 2:27:41 at the London Marathon in a cape and a pair of red pants, and set the Guinness World Record for the fastest marathon dressed as a book character. The previous record was 2:42, held by a man dressed as Dracula.

The part nobody expects is how he did it. Ninety-two percent of his training is zone one and zone two. No intervals, no threshold sessions, no marathon blocks, for two full years. He built from 40k a week to 200k a week by run-commuting to and from work with a backpack, around 60-hour weeks as a corporate lawyer in London. In that time his heart got measurably stronger and he came off three of his four medications.

He's also beaten runners who've trained hard their entire lives, which is why the hate mail is always from people slightly slower than him and never from anyone faster.

We get into all of it. Why patience beats intensity. Why he'd take 300th place with a PB over 10th without one. What he thinks about at 30k when it's falling apart. And what it actually means to perform well when the ceiling you're chasing keeps moving.

In this episode:

Why he was told not to run, and why he found a different doctor
How 200k a week is possible around a full-time job
The zone two case, from someone who has no other option
Fuelling, 3,500 calories a day, and two breakfasts at his desk
Throwing up at 60k of a 110k ultra and winning it anyway
Splitting yourself into the person who trains and the person who races
Sub 2:20, Comrades, backyard ultras, and the elite start at London

Follow Archie: https://www.instagram.com/archibald_on_the_run/

Archie trains under medical supervision with regular scans and checkups. As he says himself in the episode, don't copy a 24 year old on the internet. If you have a heart condition, speak to your own specialist.

ICU Nurse by Day, Cage Fighter by Night (ft. Bryony Tyrell)

Sun, 16 Aug 2026 07:00:00 -0000

Bryony "Killer Bee" Tyrell spent seven years as an intensive care nurse. She spent her nights becoming one of Britain's leading female cage fighters. She raised two kids through all of it.

Nobody on the ward had any idea. Now Gemma Arterton is playing her in a feature film.

In this episode: why weight cutting kills more fighters than punches do, what her coach shouted at her from the corner in Belgium when she was too tired to stand, why she'd rather fight 15,000 people than speak to them, and why at 46 she's still competing and moving into stunt work.

She also put both of us on the floor before we started recording. She fights at 52kg.

Bryony is the clearest example we've had on this show of something that keeps coming up: the people doing extraordinary things almost never quit their normal life to do it. They just refuse to accept that the ordinary one is all they get.

I'm Doing an Ironman. You Shouldn't.

Wed, 12 Aug 2026 07:00:00 -0000

Should you do an Ironman? Probably not. Three days before Ironman Leeds, Nick Finch and Grant McDonald talk about why chasing someone else's challenge is the fastest way to end up training for a life you don't want.

Everyone's doing a Hyrox. Everyone's running a marathon. Everyone's posting the medal. And if you're in your thirties watching all of it happen on your phone, it's easy to feel like you're behind on a race you never entered.

This episode is about the opposite of that. It's about reference experiences, the small things you tick off that quietly build the confidence to attempt bigger ones, and why nobody wakes up one morning and does a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bike and a marathon in a single day.

Nick breaks down the four year ladder that got him to the start line: a charity boxing match in front of a thousand people, a failed attempt to cycle the length of the UK, a marathon, and a swim with the Royal Marines. Grant walks through the same pattern in karate, from white belt to two national titles, and why earning his black belt was harder and more frightening than any competition.

We also get into the 11 hour training weeks, the 24 week build, the swim cutoff that ends your race before you've even got on the bike, and the honest answer to what happens if it goes wrong on Sunday.

The question underneath all of it: what's your marathon?

Tell us in the comments. We read every one.

You Don't Look How You Think You Look (ft. Rob Stark)

Sun, 09 Aug 2026 07:00:00 -0000

Rob Stark photographs physiques for a living. He still catches himself in a mirror and thinks he looks small.

Rob went from 64kg at 6'2" to 101kg and back down to 80kg. Before the camera he was a DJ at Ministry of Sound, a filmmaker with a U2 music video to his name, an actor and a performer. He told me before we recorded that he wasn't sure he had anything interesting to say.

In this one we get into why nearly everyone hates being photographed, how Rob talks people down before a shoot, what a physique built as a hiding place actually costs, and why he still gets nervous after twenty years behind the lens.

Grant and I have both been shot by Rob. This one's personal.

I Nearly Quit Recording This Podcast Off a Cliff (ft. Tim Miller)

PerformWell Podcast — Sun, 02 Aug 2026 07:00:00 -0000

As far as we can find, this is the first podcast ever recorded hanging off a cliff. If you know otherwise - comments are open.

I'm terrified of heights. Tim has spent 20+ years as a mountaineering and climbing instructor, and he's the founder of Boulder Shack Climbing Gym in Southampton. I told him I'd do an episode on his turf and then found myself suspended over the edge of a sea cliff, genuinely wanting to quit, crying behind my sunglasses.

What followed became a conversation about the thing that actually gets you through fear: trust. Trust in the equipment, trust in the person holding your rope, and trust in yourself, built one small promise at a time. We get into "type 2 fun", the Fear Bubble (Ant Middleton), why calm is contagious, and the breakfast question that talked me off the ledge. Literally.

Doing Hard Things When Nobody's Watching | Luke Bland

PerformWell Podcast — Sun, 19 Jul 2026 08:00:00 -0000

Six months ago Luke Bland sat in his car, pressed record and spoke from the heart. One of those messages - we're all going to die, and most of us are sleepwalking through the time we've got left, stopped over three million people mid-scroll.

In this episode of the PerformWell Podcast, Nick Finch sits down with Luke (@lukewbland): dad of two, former Royal Marines recruit, scaffolder turned business owner, Ironman, and a man who has run 100 miles in a single go - with a 200-miler and a 215-mile Race Across Scotland still on the calendar. It's an honest, no-fluff conversation.

Luke talks about the turning point that made him quit drinking and drugs overnight at 32 and pour that same energy into endurance sport. We get into learning to swim just nine months out from an Ironman and coming out of the water nearly last, why "world class basics" - manners, timekeeping and hard graft are the only edge he thinks he needs, and the surprisingly underwhelming truth about crossing the finish line.

Along the way: men's mental health and brotherhood, being present as a dad, why "no time" doesn't hold up as an excuse, and what it really takes to not die average. Whether you're chasing your first Ironman, trying to get off the sofa, or just tired of the highlight reel - this one's for you.

13 Years Running & Finally Got the England Vest | Nick Bester

PerformWell Podcast — Sun, 12 Jul 2026 08:00:00 -0000

Nick Bester started running at 23 with a 25-minute 5K. Today: a 2:19 marathon PB, 100 consecutive marathons under 3 hours, and an England vest that took 13 years to earn.

In episode 151 of the PerformWell Podcast, the two Nicks get into what elite marathon training really takes — 100-mile weeks with four rest days a year, 15x1km sessions harder than race day, and why the pain never gets easier, it just gets faster.

Plus: strength training for runners and how to structure your week around the gym, fuelling up to 120g of carbs per hour (and the 90km Comrades ultra Nick once ran on a single gel), getting humbled at a local fartlek session in Iten, Kenya, and swapping a banking career for coaching mid-COVID.

Why you're not losing weight in a calorie deficit

PerformWell Podcast — Sat, 04 Jul 2026 08:00:00 -0000

Everyone overcomplicates fat loss. In this episode we break down the single biggest reason you're not losing weight - and why "I'm not losing weight" is the wrong question in the first place.

We get into the difference between losing weight and losing fat, why the scale lies to you, the under-reporting trap that quietly stalls most people, how to actually weigh your food (cooked vs raw), and whether your metabolism is really "broken."

Then we hand you the exact protein targets, calorie equation and training setup we use with our coaching clients, plus refeeds, calorie cycling, and why your weight spikes after a big meal (and why it's not fat). If the scale won't budge no matter what you do, this one's for you.

He Jumped Off This Bridge. Now He Walks Over It Every Day.

PerformWell Podcast — Sun, 28 Jun 2026 08:00:00 -0000

DeeDee jumped off Southampton's Itchen Bridge and survived. In this episode he opens up about that night, getting sober, and how movement gave him a reason to keep going. This is an honest conversation about men's mental health, suicide, recovery and finding purpose.

⚠️ Content warning: this episode includes discussion of suicide, a suicide attempt, self-harm and addiction. Please take care while watching. You are not alone, and free confidential support is listed at the bottom of this description.

🔴 STRONGER THAN THE SILENCE

We're taking on a full Ironman this August for CALM, raising money for men's mental health. Every pound helps, please donate here: https://www.justgiving.com/page/stronger-than-the-silence

After two near-fatal incidents and years of using alcohol as a mask, DeeDee got sober and rebuilt his life with purpose. He founded The Big Movement to get men moving and talking for their mental health, he talks people down from the same bridge he jumped from, and this year he ran a marathon over it. We talk about rock bottom, sobriety, loneliness, bullying, self-worth and the small daily habits that brought him back. It's raw, it's hopeful, and it's exactly why we make this show. If you're a man sitting in silence, or you love someone who is, this one is for you.

It's Men's Mental Health Month and I'm taking on an Ironman to raise money for men's mental health. If this episode hits home, please donate or share. Stronger Than The Silence: https://www.justgiving.com/page/stron... Adam Blackwell cycled from Land's End to John O'Groats and climbed Snowdon, Ben Nevis and Scafell Pike on the way. 900 miles, three mountains, thirteen days, and one knee that nearly ended the whole thing near a sheer drop on Ben Nevis with no crampons, no path and snow coming in. But this is not just a story about physical suffering. With it being Men's Mental Health Month, Adam and Jay from GBHQ get honest about why men push themselves to the edge, what self-worth actually is, the story you tell yourself, and why the answer is not always talking more, it is sometimes doing hard things in good company. Having ridden Land's End to John O'Groats myself, this is two endurance lads comparing notes for real. Built. Challenged. Real.

234kg to 97kg: He Lost 21 Stone Without a Single Weight-Loss Jab

PerformWell Podcast — Sun, 14 Jun 2026 08:00:00 -0000

A doctor told Mark he'd be in his coffin by 40. Two years later, he's 137kg lighter — and he never touched a weight-loss jab. No Ozempic. No surgery. Just the most honest transformation we've ever filmed.

Mark went from 234kg (34 stone) to 97kg in two years — the natural way. He sits down with Nick, Grant and Gemma to talk about the GP appointment that scared him straight, what he was really eating at his heaviest, the sepsis scare that nearly ended it all, and the day he deadlifted the exact weight he'd lost. We go deep on the stuff nobody talks about honestly: the weight-loss jab debate (when they help and when they don't), emotional eating, loose skin, body dysmorphia, why the scales lie, and the mindset that got him through the bad days.

Built. Challenged. Real.

Science-Based Lifting Is Lying To You (15 Years of Coaching Says So)

PerformWell Podcast — Sun, 07 Jun 2026 08:00:00 -0000

Is "science-based lifting" actually making you better - or just making you train like a robot with a foam roller through your arm?

In Episode 146, Nick and Grant break down where evidence-based training earns its place and where the internet took it way too far.

Bluetooth handles, lengthened partials, 3 reps-in-reserve, mouth guards mid-set - we get into all of it. Two coaches, 15 years each, 30,000+ hours on the gym floor, calling it straight. We cover why Jeff Nippard's own lengthened-partials research landed back at "just do the full rep," why the bench press got unfairly cancelled, why mechanical tension and hard effort beat perfect form on a spreadsheet, and the simple form → time-under-tension → weight framework we use with every client.

Science is a tool, not a religion.

It's a way - not the only way.

Pole Fitness Fixed My Body Dysmorphia | Beccie Dunn

PerformWell Podcast — Sun, 31 May 2026 08:00:00 -0000

Most people think pole fitness is a party trick.

Beccie Dunn thought it looked cool in a photo and couldn't even walk into a class alone. Then it fixed her. Beccie spent years trapped in body dysmorphia — eating 900 calories a day, training like a bodybuilder, desperate to be as small as possible. Pole fitness broke that cycle. When she saw how much strength, muscle and proper nutrition it actually took to get good, everything changed.

Now she runs Dynamic Aerial Academy in Southampton and has built one of the most empowering fitness communities in the UK.

In this episode we tried pole for the first time (and got absolutely humbled), then sat down to talk about everything the fitness industry doesn't say loudly enough.

We cover:

How pole fitness rewired Beccie's relationship with food, her body and strength

Why she was eating 900 calories while training a full-body skill sport

The eating disorder, the body dysmorphia, and the exact moment the switch flipped

Breaking her foot mid-session — and teaching the rest of the class on it

Training kettlebells on the day she went into labour (waters broke that night)

Why pole is one of the hardest skill sports you can do — and why that's the point Sleep, REM cycles and what's actually killing your recovery

Raising strong kids in a world obsessed with junk food

Building community, handling online hate, and staying in your lane

This one's for anyone who's ever punished their body trying to look a certain way — and needed someone to show them a better reason to train.

Don't Start Your Summer Diet Until You've Watched This

PerformWell Podcast — Sun, 24 May 2026 08:00:00 -0000

Everyone's telling you to start your summer diet. We're telling you to stop.

Nick, Grant & Gemma have a combined 40+ years of PT experience — and their biggest lesson isn't about what to eat or how much cardio to do. It's this: the body you're chasing for summer probably isn't worth the cost of getting it. In this episode of The Performwell Podcast, Gemma opens up about the psychological fallout of getting shredded, Nick breaks down why chasing a physique goal is like thinking school is your whole life, and Grant shares the clients who got the body — and still weren't happy.

From crash diet culture and body dysmorphia, to steroids hiding in plain sight on Instagram, to how Gemma's testosterone and HRT journey became the most sustainable thing she's ever done — this is the conversation you need before you start cutting for summer.

If you've ever crash dieted before a holiday, compared yourself to someone online, or wondered why getting lean still didn't feel like enough — watch this first.

WHAT WE COVER:

→ Why 6–8 week summer transformations usually backfire

→ The psychological damage of extreme dieting and photo shoot prep

→ Body dysmorphia — and why even the fittest people aren't immune

→ What actually is a healthy body fat % for men and women

→ The steroid problem hiding in plain sight on your Instagram feed

→ Why the body you can't sustain isn't worth chasing

→ Gemma's HRT and testosterone journey — and how it changed everything

→ How to shift your mindset from "summer body" to something that actually lasts

Why You Need A Fitness Goal That Scares You

PerformWell Podcast — Sun, 17 May 2026 08:00:00 -0000

Most people are waiting to feel ready before they commit to a goal. The problem? That moment never comes.

In this episode, we sit down with Grant to talk about why having a concrete event — whether it's a photo shoot, marathon, Ironman, or white-collar boxing match — is one of the most powerful tools for transforming your fitness AND your mindset.

Nick shares how he went from his lowest point post-COVID to stepping into a boxing ring in front of 1,000 people, and we break down why purpose is the antidote to depression, why your first event just needs to be DONE (not perfect), and the framework that helps you find the REAL reason you want to change.

If you've ever said "I'll start when I'm ready" — this conversation is for you.

WHAT WE COVER:

→ Why challenges give you purpose (and why purpose fights depression)

→ The personal challenge framework — marathons, photo shoots & comps

→ How Grant went from his lowest point post-COVID to boxing in front of 1,000 people

→ Why your first event just needs to be DONE — not perfect

→ The fear of failure that stops people committing (and how to flip it)

→ The 5 Whys — finding the REAL reason you want to change

→ Why we're doing Ironman Leeds on August 16th

Breaking The Generational Cycle of Trauma | Matt Harris

PerformWell Podcast — Sun, 10 May 2026 08:00:00 -0000

⚠️ CONTENT WARNING This episode contains honest discussion of sexual abuse, violence, murder, drug addiction, and grief. Listener discretion is advised.

──────────────────────────────────

Matt Harris was born into a generational cycle of violence, abuse, and silence. By the time he was 13, he had survived sexual abuse from a family member, witnessed his brother commit murder, had his identity changed by deed poll, and been moved between hostels to escape the people hunting his family.

This is the story of how one man decided the cycle ends with him. In this episode of The Former Podcast, Matt opens up about generational trauma, breaking the cycle of abuse, and what it actually takes for a man to heal — not just cope, not just survive, but break the pattern so it doesn't pass to the next generation.

If you've ever thought "I don't want to become my father" or "something in my family has to stop with me" — this conversation is for you.

WHAT WE COVER:

→ How generational trauma gets passed down through families

→ The two "fractures" that defined Matt's childhood

→ Why he used drugs daily for 3 years to numb the pain

→ How fitness became both a lifeline AND another form of avoidance

→ Breaking his silence publicly in 2018

→ Walking 105 miles of the South Downs Way to process his sister's death

→ What it means to be "The Unhealed Man"

→ How any man can start breaking his own generational cycle today Matt is currently writing his book, The Unhealed Man.

Most women’s struggle with food and body image isn’t just about calories — it’s about the psychological patterns and beliefs deeply rooted beneath them. Bee Wallace, a seasoned online fitness and mindset coach, exposes how these invisible barriers sabotage progress and reveals the critical role mindset plays in sustainable transformation.

With a personal journey that includes battling eating disorders, hormonal chaos, and ultimately finding her way with HRT, B shares how understanding your body’s signals—true hunger versus emotional cravings—can be a game-changer. She discusses the importance of building a healthy relationship with food, mindset frameworks like "The Gap and The Game," and practical tools like the hunger scale that help clients reconnect with their instincts.

We explore: ⬛The link between food noise and anxiety ⬛Therapy vs Mindset coaching ⬛Dealing with emotional hunger ⬛Restrictive mindsets

We tackle the protein bar controversy head-on, Joe Wicks’ claims, James Smith’s rebuttal, and what actually matters for your health. We unpack marketing versus reality, why “high protein” doesn’t always mean high value, and how to balance convenience, digestion, cost, and results without falling into fear-mongering.

What you’ll learn:

How to think about ultra-processed foods with an 80/20 mindset
Cost-per-protein: bars vs chicken vs shakes (and when each makes sense)
Bioavailability and labelling tricks (vitamins on the wrapper ≠ nutrient-dense food)
Shakes vs bars vs whole foods—smart ways to hit your target
Lactose tips (vegan blends or simply double dinner protein and split portions)
Quick, one-tip fixes for brain fog, “slow metabolism,” poor skin, and more

We’re coaches focused on sustainable, real-life changes, not medical fear tactics or perfect-world advice. Context first, results second, obsession never.

Please Watch This Before Considering a Weight Loss Jab

PerformWell Podcast — Sun, 14 Sep 2025 07:13:24 -0000

In this episode of the PerformWell Podcast, we break down what these drugs actually do, why so many people are turning to them, and the dangerous misconceptions around using them as a “quick fix.” From nutrient deficiencies, osteoporosis, and muscle loss, to the mental rollercoaster that comes with relying on a jab, we expose the truths people aren’t talking about.

But this isn’t just a rant, we also share the real foundations of fat loss and long-term health: resistance training, building habits, managing stress, and developing the patience to stick with the process. Because while injections might help you lose weight in the short term, they won’t build the resilience, confidence, and lifestyle you need to keep it off.

Breaking Down What Actually Works

PerformWell Podcast — Sun, 06 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0000

In this episode of the PerformWell Podcast, we dive into one of our favourite topics, training styles, past and present. We unpack the evolution of fitness programming, comparing science-based lifting methods with old-school, traditional approaches.

We talk about why it’s not always about one or the other, but how blending both can actually get you the best results. It all comes down to intent, purpose, and knowing when (and how) to push or pull back.

We also dig into our personal experiences, the value of time under the bar, and why just following trends, like Hyrox, won’t necessarily get you where you want to go. If you care about training smart, not just hard, this episode is for you.

Solving the UKs Health Crisis | Daniel Fitzhenry

PerformWell Podcast — Sun, 28 Jul 2024 07:00:00 -0000

Today we explore the UKs Health Crisis and what we can do about it, with a very special guest & elected politician Daniel Fitzhenry.

Topics ranging from what it's like at number 10 downing street, what we can do about rising obesity levels to how to create change in ourselves to seek the life we are after.

- Obesity is a growing challenge that affects not only weight but also mental health, productivity, and self-esteem.

- Taking responsibility for one's health is crucial for living a fulfilling and healthy life.

- The education system plays a role in promoting responsibility, but educators need to focus on teaching individuals how to think, not what to think.

- Helping those who are struggling with their health requires a combination of personal desire for change and external support.

- A cultural shift towards individual responsibility is necessary to address the obesity crisis. Financial constraints can make it challenging to prioritize health and well-being, but it's important to make choices and take action to improve one's health.

- Mindset and self-esteem play a significant role in achieving success and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

- Networking and building connections can open doors and provide opportunities for growth and success.

- Societal values need to shift towards prioritizing health and well-being, and democratizing wealth creation can create a better future for everyone.
