“Gabe isn't your typical cookie cutter coach. He's strict, holds you to a high standard, and doesn't let things slide, which is exactly why results follow. The accountability is constant, with 24/7 access to chat and biweekly check-ins, as well as consistent changing to your programming tailored to your lifestyle, not just a generic plan.”
Mitch · 9–5 office worker
“This has genuinely been such a breeze of a cut, these 12 weeks went by that fast. With the right meal plan and training, it sometimes felt like I wasn’t even cutting. My energy levels were sky high and this is genuinely the best shape I’ve ever been in. I did a cut last year getting coached by another bloke, wasn’t the best because there was no guidance after the cut, but this time round the support has been unmatched.”
Tyreese · Logistics
“After just having my second knee reconstruction I wanted to get back and as fit as possible. These fellas set out a plan for me that worked around my injuries and made me understand nutrition, when and why, training, recovery, discipline in and out of the gym and made all of this easy. The community these lads have built is absolutely top tier. This is the leanest I have ever been and the strongest I have ever been.”
Reuben · Live lineworker
“I started coaching with Gabe and Kalani about 12 weeks ago now and it’s been the best decision of my life and the best money I’ve ever spent in my life guaranteed the value that you get out of it is insane and not only has my gym progress been significantly better but my overall quality of life in every aspect has also increased tenfold.”
Ben · Electrician
“Kalani has been handling my Loom check-ins, and in every check-in he never fails to go into depth over the form videos I send in, how my weight is progressing and overall how my physique is tracking. Kalani explains why certain exercises are beneficial, as well as going over any improvements I can make in my form. So far, Kalani and Gabe have helped me become the leanest I have ever been.”
Kane · Cybersecurity
“Having that structured routine really allows me to get the desired results I want and I've been seeing myself progress each week. The recipes actually slap, I don't think I could get tired of eating them, and cravings for anything have pretty much completely disappeared. For a while I was stuck and not making any progress, but now I'm almost at the heaviest I've ever been yet probably the leanest I've ever been, and I keep gaining strength each week.”
Luke · Landscaper
“Now with Gabe I have shred off around 5kg whilst maintaining majority of muscle, haven't had cravings really once and stable energy throughout the day, especially the way he's structured my meal timings to be able to push hard in the gym after a day of work. Gabe knows his stuff and couldn't recommend anyone else but him.”
Dillon · Construction worker
“Gab structured a strength program around my fight training instead of against it. I now sit comfortably at 73-74kg, have never been stronger, and genuinely feel faster and more explosive in my training. What impressed me most was his ability to adapt everything, the training, calories, timing, around my workload, job, and fight prep. It wasn't generic. It was strategic.”
