On today's episode of RNT Fitness Radio, we're talking about the Messy Middle and the Identity Gap that happens after you lose weight. Most people get lost after they get into the best shape of their life. They don't know how to turn "shape of life" to "shape for life." This episode talks about where people get caught up in the Messy Middle and how to break out of it and avoid years and years of spinning their wheels… and never getting to the body and lifestyle they truly want. If your goal in 2026 is to break into the Reward Phase, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I'm joined by RNTer Raghu Kumar, an entrepreneur and CEO who at the age of 40, dropped 40lbs to get into the best shape of his life this year. Raghu has since inspired members of his family and his fiance to also join him on the journey. What's cool is he's inspiring his children, a better decision maker at work, and his resting heart rate has gone from 65 down to 47. He's fitter now at 40 than he was in his 20s. A really cool thing he shares is how his company has had a direct correlation in revenue growth since his RNT journey has begun. So in the truest sense…using a physical transformation as a vehicle to take everything in his life to the next level!

On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I'm joined by Manika Singh, who at the start of the year joined RNT after seeing her 3 siblings go through this journey and experience life-changing results.

Manika shares a raw account of how after two pregnancies she was at an all-time high of 80 kilos feeling low on energy, not her best, and wanting to make massive changes. With the help of her siblings, she made some initial lifestyle changes... and then joined RNT in January this year and recently completed a photo shoot at 50 kilos.

In this episode, she shares the 3 exact systems she's using to build a sustainable lifestyle solution despite working 12 hours a day, raising two kids, and juggling all the realities of modern day life. She also shares some of the habits she didn't realize she was doing on a daily basis until she joined RNT.

"I still cannot believe this is my body and that at 60, I can still do this."

That's a quote from Agostina, who on today's episode shares her journey of getting into the best shape of her life at 61 years young. She thought her chance to achieve her dream body had passed and when she hit 60, she thought, "If not now, then when will I do it?"

And six months later, she's in the best shape of her life. She has completed a photo shoot and she now gets daily compliments from friends, colleagues, and even strangers at the supermarket on her brand new physique.

Agostina's pictures, if you've not seen them, are an amazing example of body recomposition done at its absolute best.

You can check it out on the podcast thumbnail that you may be listening to this on, or go on the case study on the website or across our social media.

They are very, very impressive. Previously, she tried gyms, challenges, training, she tried all sorts of different things, but at 60, she decided to take seriously and go all in on the RNT transformation journey.

After losing her uncle to brain cancer, Arpna spiralled. Grief told her, "Life's too short… eat what you want, drink what you like." But the deeper truth hit harder: Life's too short to waste it feeling tired, sluggish, and disconnected from your best self. She didn't just want to feel better. She needed to be strong, emotionally, mentally, physically, to face what was coming next: Her son's ASD diagnosis, the stress of family life, and the growing weight of trying to hold it all together. So she stopped waiting. She committed fully. And she used the physical as the vehicle to reclaim control of her life. Losing 52.9lbs was never the full story. The real transformation came from how Arpna started to show up in her everyday life. She became sharper mentally. More focused at work. More present with her children. More intentional with her time. Arpna is now smashing it in her second year of the RNT journey, and is a great example of what's possible when you go all in!
