Your body changed — hormones, insulin sensitivity, recovery — and nobody told you the rules changed with it. That's not a willpower problem. It's a data problem. Back2Strong starts with your own bloodwork and biology, read by a doctor, then builds the plan around exactly what's happening in your body today.
The Reset gets you back in the room — free, 28 days, no catch. When you're ready to know exactly what's happening in your body, the Performance Blueprint is the programme.
A re-entry protocol for men who've lost trust in their bodies and need to rebuild it before they push anything. Day-by-day. Submaximal on purpose. Three sessions a week.
Full clinical bloodwork and DNA analysis first, then a bespoke training, nutrition, sleep and recovery plan built around exactly what's happening in your body — not a guess.
See What's Included →"A coach who gives you a training and nutrition plan."
"A data-led provider who tells you what's actually happening in your body — then builds your training, nutrition, sleep and recovery around it."
Most training plans start with a guess about how you feel. Yours starts with a full clinical blood panel from Polaris Health, plus a DNA and biological age array from Muhdo — both included as standard. Nothing gets built until we know what's actually going on.
Spot the patterns your body is showing today — hormones, metabolic health, inflammation, recovery capacity — often years before you'd feel them yourself.
Track how the numbers move over your programme. We act on the trend, not the single dot — which is why the longer tracks matter more than the first test alone.
Every marker is paired with what it means and what we do about it — read by a doctor first, then built into your training, nutrition, sleep and recovery plan by me.
We don't run our own lab and we don't pretend to. Every result comes from accredited partners built for exactly this — and every one of them is reviewed by a registered doctor before it reaches your plan.
"Guiding your way to wellness." Clinical-grade blood testing, ordered from home or the office, results explained in plain English — not a lab report you need a medical degree to read.
Included as standard on every Blueprint — the epigenetic and DNA array that goes deeper than a single blood draw, covering your biological age and how your lifestyle and training are actually affecting your genes over time.
This is a service, not a subscription you self-serve through. Every step is done for you, or done with you.
Home or workplace, at a time that suits you. No clinic waiting room, no admin, no taking half a day off to sit in traffic for a blood draw.
The Polaris Performance panel covers hormonal, metabolic, cardiovascular, nutritional and inflammatory markers. The Muhdo DNA and biological age array runs alongside it as standard — no add-on, no separate decision.
Not a PDF dropped in your inbox. A proper, plain-English conversation about what's actually going on — what's in range, what's worth watching, and what needs attention.
Only now does the programme get built — bespoke, from your data and your life, not a template with your name pasted on top. This is where most programmes start. It's where yours actually gets interesting.
Training and nutrition without recovery is half a plan. Sleep quality, stress load and recovery capacity get tracked and worked on throughout — because half the men who "can't recover like they used to" have never actually measured why.
Be honest with yourself before you get in touch — this is deliberately not for everyone, and that's the point.
The mindset work that runs underneath everything else. Not motivation. Not affirmations. Six patterns that dismantle what keeps men stuck — one at a time, ten minutes a day, woven into every Blueprint from day one.
The patterns you've been avoiding looking at. Named, faced, made workable.
The story you tell yourself versus what's actually happening. Where they diverge is where the work is.
How you change without forcing it. Watching what works, repeating it, letting the rest fall away.
What you do without negotiating with yourself. The non-thinking part of being capable.
The handful of standards everything gets built on. Drawn deliberately. Held when life pushes back.
How small consistent actions compound into a different man. Not motivation. Mechanics.
Barry had a stroke four years ago. He's living with AFib and an arthritic knee. Every generic plan would have told him to be careful and sent him on his way. Instead, the programme got built around his actual history — his knee, his heart, his real deadline — not adapted from a template he had to force himself into.
"Five weeks into working with Nick and I'm nearly 7kg down. He built the programme around my knee and my history from day one, not a generic plan I had to force myself into. It's the first time in a long time something's actually worked, and worked safely. Still a way to go before September, but for the first time I feel like I'm actually going to get there."
Not the full panel — just the markers most men have simply never had checked.
Drives energy, muscle and drive — falls a little more every year past 40, trained or not. Free T is the figure that actually matters, not the total.
Your average blood sugar over roughly three months. The clearest early-warning sign of metabolic drift — years before weight or energy shift.
Silent inflammation. Chronically elevated, it explains why some weeks nothing sticks — no amount of training out-works that on its own.
Prostate health — one of the most overlooked checks men over 40 have simply never had run. Included as standard, not an upsell.
This isn't borrowed from a textbook. It's what's left when the game stops and the body you built your identity on starts asking for a different kind of training.
Ex-pro rugby — Wasps in England, then Montauban in France's Top 14. Fifteen years of getting hit for a living. I know what it is to have a body that simply showed up — and then to watch that stop, quietly, under work, family and life stress most men recognise but don't talk about.
Back2Strong isn't built from a certification. It's built from three back surgeries, eight days in hospital not knowing if I'd walk normally again, and six years of drift that saw me gain two stone and lose the bottom of my squat. I had to rebuild from a place most men reading this haven't been to. Every man I work with gets that same starting point: the truth about what's happening in his body, not a guess dressed up as a plan.
No fake urgency. No discounting. No pretending this is for everyone. Just a straight, data-led route back to strong — for men serious enough about themselves to want the real picture first.
This isn't a menu of packages. It's one clear 90-day programme, built the same way for every man: full clinical bloodwork first, then a plan around what's actually happening in your body — not a questionnaire. Hormones, insulin sensitivity, recovery markers — the things that matter far more at 40+ than they did at 25.
Your investment is confirmed on the call, once we know exactly what you need. What doesn't change: bloodwork and DNA are never an add-on — they're in from day one, every time.
Because this isn't something you buy off a shelf — it's a diagnostic-led programme, and what's right for you depends on where you're actually starting from. We confirm the number on your call, once we know what you need. If you're only comparing it to a PT's day rate, this isn't the right offer for you — and that's fine.
No. Every Performance Blueprint includes the full Polaris blood panel and the Muhdo DNA and biological age array as standard — not an upsell, not an optional extra. You get the full picture from day one, whatever track you're on.
Then that's genuinely useful information — you've bought certainty instead of assuming. Most men who go through this find at least one marker worth watching that nobody had ever flagged. Either way, the plan gets built from what's real, not what you feared or hoped.
No. This is data-led coaching, not a clinical diagnosis or treatment pathway. Every result is reviewed by a registered doctor and, where something needs proper medical attention, you'll be told plainly and pointed toward the right care.
This isn't something you self-serve into. Send a message, tell me where you're actually at, and we'll work out together whether this is the right fit — no pressure, no pitch.
