On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I'm joined by Gemini, who comes on to share the first six months of her journey with us at RNT Fitness.

Gem has gone all in. She's put her full faith into the process, and she's reaping the rewards as a result, not just physically, where she's already in the best shape of her life with a photoshoot coming up in a couple of weeks, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

She's building a new identity and is the epitome of using the physical transformation as a vehicle to improve her career, her health, her relationships, and her overall lifestyle. I'm excited for you to dive into this one and see what's possible when you go all in on the RNT journey.

I'm buzzing for what's coming up for Gem over the next couple of weeks, months, and years. So without further ado, let's dive in.

You think fibre is about staying regular. It's not. Fibre controls your blood sugar. It affects your hormones, your energy, your hunger and how your body stores fat. Most people eat 10 to 15 g a day. You need 30+. And most have no idea why they crash every afternoon. In this episode, Akash breaks down why fibre is high performance nutrition. The 4 big benefits. The 4 mistakes people make. And exactly how to get it right.

12 weeks until Christmas. Build momentum now or start again in January.

Most people restart in September and October. They're motivated. They're showing up. Then within 2 weeks, they make the same 3 mistakes.

One nutrition. One training. One mindset.

Each one feels like progress. Each one quietly stalls your fat loss. And most people never realise they're doing it.

Akash breaks down all 3, why they happen, and exactly what to do instead.

Get this right and you'll walk into 2027 on the front foot. Get it wrong and you'll be back where you started by January.

On today's episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I'm joined by RNTer Priya Parmar. I'm recording this almost exactly a year into her journey, as she's about to begin her second year, and she's celebrating 23kg down so far, with just a few more to go until she hits her checkpoint.

Priya's journey began after the sudden passing of her brother, just four months after she'd lost her mother. It came at a moment in her life where she took a hard, honest look at her own health, her habits, and her body composition, and knew she wanted to make a serious change.

Here we are a year later, and Priya is a completely different woman. I'm really excited for you to hear this account of what true change entails, and how Priya took one of the most difficult times in her life and turned it into fuel to transform herself, and those around her.

So without further ado, let's dive in.

On today's episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I'm joined by long-term RNTer Samir Patel, who's been with us for three and a half years. This Hall of Fame episode is a little different, because we walk through Samir's journey from a lifetime of being skinny-fat, never quite getting the physique he'd always wanted, to building a strong, muscular, lean body he's genuinely proud of in his mid-40s.

As a doctor and general practitioner, Samir has always understood the intricacies and importance of health, but he could never get the results in his own body until joining us at RNT. He started skinny-fat, went through a phase of leaning down, and has since built a substantial amount of muscle over the last couple of years. When you compare his pictures at the same body weight on the way down to where he is now, it's a quite remarkable recomposition.

This is a great episode for anyone struggling with skinny-fat syndrome who wants to build a strong, shredded physique.

On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I'm joined by physician Dr. Ameet Shah, who comes on the podcast to talk about his two-year journey with us at RNT Fitness, where he's dropped 50 lbs and built himself a lifestyle solution he can sustain for decades.

Ameet started his journey after an off-the-cuff comment from one of his elderly patients triggered him into action, propelling him to take control of his health, build a fitter lifestyle, and finally achieve the body he'd always wanted.

In this episode, we talk about how he lost the weight, how he's learning to sustain it, and, what's really cool, how he's now bringing RNT's methodologies and practices into his own work as a physician.

Welcome to RNT Fitness Radio. Today I'm joined by RNTer Vivek, who recently hit a checkpoint with us. When Vivek turned 40, he decided enough was enough. Having watched a number of his friends go through the RNT journey and absolutely crush it, he finally took the plunge at the start of 2026.

He's a father of two, holds a global role in a VC group, and is based out in Texas. For Vivek, the challenges were always the same: a relentless work schedule spanning every time zone, travelling two weeks of every month, and two young kids to balance it all around.

This is a brilliant insight into what it looks like to go from having no structure with your health and fitness to fully dialling in, and using the physical transformation as a vehicle to improve every other aspect of your life. Vivek is down 26 lbs, in the best shape of his life, and looking forward to a productive muscle-building phase with us.

So let's dive in.
