The starting point
Blake had trained for years but could not hold on to the progress he made. He wanted more muscle and a more capable body. Ongoing wrist discomfort and unstructured workouts kept getting in the way.
He often repeated the same familiar sessions at the gym. Food was just as inconsistent. Blake spent heavily on DoorDash because trading and calls filled the first several hours of his day.
At first, his goal was to reach a specific weight. He wanted to look bigger, feel better, protect his wrist, and still have time for work and life outside the gym.
The support around him
Blood and gut testing, along with a DEXA scan, gave the team a starting point for Blake’s nutrition and training plan.
Prepared meals put food in the fridge before a busy work block ended. Blake could eat without ordering delivery, cooking, or cleaning up.
His training became more structured, and a physiotherapist helped address his wrist. Blake had previously assumed the discomfort would go away on its own.
When surfing became more important to him, his program changed too. Pop-up practice and mobility work prepared him for something he wanted to do outside the gym.
What changed for him
“I feel great right now. I also feel like I look good. … As long as I can feel good and like function well in my work.”
Blake reported better sleep, less wrist discomfort, and more energy for the activities he enjoys.
Ready-made meals made it easier to eat during a trading day. Surf-specific training gave his gym work a purpose he could feel outside the gym.
Over time, reaching 200 pounds mattered less. Blake cared more about feeling good, liking how he looked, and working well. His own words capture the change better than the number did.
