Sean Sweeney’s Post

When it comes to guys the health and fitness world needs a bit of a rebrand. 20 years ago you’d hardly ever see a woman in the free weights section. It was all B.O, grunting and seriously intimidating for most women. But things changed. Crossfit turned up, there was more education and even social media showed women who lift don’t suddenly develop a beard. Today, it’s a normal part of the gym to see women throwing the tin and it’s brilliant. But guys are now facing a similar problem only with the mental skills side of change. Tell a guy about having a growth mindset over a fixed mindset… …yep, brilliant, makes sense, all on board with this. Tell a guy that a key part of lasting change is developing self compassion… …and like that bloke on Dragons Den..”they’re ooot”. It all sounds too fluffy for a lot of men. Research has shown time and again that self compassion is huge for change. Instead of self criticism and beating yourself up making “mistakes” (like over eating or missing workouts). It gets you to take a more mindful approach. Understanding that nobody gets a smooth ride through life. Having a bit more understanding (and yes compassion) for yourself when things go Pete Tong. And tools to be with those uncomfortable feelings that often lead to overeating. Essentially you learn to talk to yourself as you would to a mate who was having a struggle. Focusing on solutions rather than dwelling on all the mistakes. Maybe it should be called “don’t be a 🍆 to yourself”. Or maybe not..marketing isn’t my strong point. But whatever you choose to call it…try it. Because “just go harder” and “no excuses” is sleep walking us into a health crisis.

Thank you to everyone I've connected with on Linkedin over the last year 🙏 I spoke to 100s of ladies and gents about how I can help optimise their health and fitness to align with their careers, families, relationships, and crazy work schedules! The fitness industry is full of ballsh*t nowadays, and I want to apologise on the industry’s behalf. 70% of supplements, diets, training methods and coaches/personal trainers are sh*t. "someone had to say it." The other 30% I'm so proud to be a part of 🫶 In all the darkest and hardest moments in my life, training and personal standards for myself have got me through them all, and they will get me through all the other sh*t that life will throw at me in the life yet to come. I'm never here to sell anyone to work with me on a one-to-one basis. Because I can't help everyone, people must want to help themselves. People must want to better themselves, their health, fitness and future. If health and fitness aren't a priority for someone and they don't see value in 👇 - Losing body fat - Sky rocking confidence - Increasing longevity of life - Improved cognitive function - Improving health and hormone balance - Higher energy levels, less energy drops in the day. - Being a role model to their kids by looking after themselves. And the byproduct of all these personal relationships improves, and sex life gets a bump up! Business and career goals go to the next level, and the body looks epic 🔥 It’s okay if people don’t want this. Everyone can live their lives however they want. I just won’t be able to help someone reach their true potential and completely change their life if they don’t want it for themselves. We must make sacrifices and seek help to achieve the things we want but don’t currently have. If you want a better life and future for yourself. 

DM me the word “CHANGE” and I will see if I can help you ✌️ #marketing #socialmedia #fitness #health #personaldevelopment

12 Tactics to Transform (3/12): Fitness on the go ✈️ 🧳This is how I stay fit when travelling… In the past year I’ve spent a month travelling in Mexico and another month in South Africa. Both times I didn’t take my scales with me, whilst eating daily meals at restaurants, and having restricted access to gyms. The result? Both times, I was within half a kilo from where I started. It answers a question I personally used to be paralysed by: Is it possible to stay fit and healthy whilst travelling? It may also be something on your mind. A relentless travel schedule can disrupt even the best laid out plans. But not at RNT. Every week 100s of our members are travelling in some way. Work, leisure, with kids, you name it. The reason they still crush their goals is because of the 3 tactics I personally used last month in Mexico: 1) Protein preload to manage satiety and keep muscle mass. 2) Quick 30 min bodyweight workouts to stay fit when gyms weren’t an option. 3) Taking enough steps and doing my best to sleep enough to stay healthy (as well as one can with an 8 month old!) I also made success inevitable by doubling down on my secret sauce of accountability: Checking in with my expert RNT Coach! - 💪Want a team of global weight loss experts to fast-track your results in 2024? We’re looking for busy high performers aged 30-55 who want to: ✅ Lose 22-77lbs+ (10-35kg+) ✅ Improve their confidence, energy levels & health ✅ Build the habits to stay consistent and keep their results forever 💥DM ‘YES’ to apply or click the link in the first comment below.

😳Same routines, same habits, same environment and zero change/results......?⁣😳 🤯The same cycle on repeat....over and over again. ⁣ It’s almost impossible to improve and progress in life if you don't expose yourself to new ideas, new people, and new systems/methods.

"If you are good at something, don't do it for free, unless you are planning to do it for free for the whole life." So I have a friend who is very good at fitness and nutrition, a well-qualified young professional. When he started his career as an independent fitness consultant, he began by offering free consultations to people who wanted to lose weight and get fit. He was flooded with inquiries, and many people approached him for help. He got super excited to see such an amazing response, started taking a real interest in people's problems, advised them on diet and exercise, and even went to their homes to give them free consultations. After 1 month, when I asked him how long he planned to do this for free, he said he would soon start charging people once he built some good case studies. Fair enough. 2-3 months passed by, and he didn't see much improvement in people's results despite giving 100% effort and being sincere about it. After completing 3 months, he started charging a very basic fee for consultations, and suddenly people started to avoid him, giving all sorts of excuses: 1. "I was not able to follow the diet, but since it was free, I wasn't bothered." 2. "I had a busy lifestyle, so I didn't get a chance to work out." 3. "Your diet plans are too strict; I'm not sure if I can ever follow them." 4. "If I need to pay for this, I'd rather go with someone more professional." 5. "Not interested; no call back." Only a handful of people showed interest (5%). So you see, there's nothing wrong with giving anything for free; I get it, your vision and mission might be bigger than money. But when you give something for free, people hardly take it seriously, and you don't even get correct feedback on what you are delivering. And worst of all, people may perceive you as a novice or beginner whom they should not pay. What are your thoughts on this?

Listen up, fellas! I'm here to spit some hard truths about fitness—and trust me, it ain't just for the 'gram or to flex in your tightest tee. If you're strutting into the gym thinking it's all about crafting that Greek god bod, you've barely scratched the surface. 💪 Fitness is a game-changer beyond the mirror flexing. It's not shallow; it’s deep as an ocean trench when it comes to benefits. We're talking about boosting your career game, upping the ante in your personal life, and walking around with an energy reserve that'd make the Energizer Bunny jealous. But let's get real—the confidence? That stuff skyrockets. You start feeling like a boss inside and out of the gym. And happiness? Man, it follows you around like your loyal pup. Let's touch on mental health—no joke, this stuff is crucial. Pounding weights and crushing cardio have pulled me from some dark places. The iron therapy is real; it builds more than muscles; it fortifies your mind. And hey, if you stick with our program, those chiseled looks will come knocking at your door anyway—it's a sweet bonus! But remember, if vanity’s your only gym buddy, you'll crash and burn out before you can say 'gainz'. So redefine your 'why'. Make fitness about feeling invincible in every aspect of life—not just when you're shirtless. Trust this journey to bring out the best version of yourself. Let’s get fit for life—not just for likes. 🏋️♂️🚀 Send me a DM to get more info on our program! #LooksCanDeceive #DepthOverSurface #

Embrace the su*k As a fitness coach, I've seen how self-confidence transforms lives. Remember, we all have our strengths and weaknesses – it's part of being human. Consider this: some of us are born with a natural advantage in certain areas (let's say a '10' in genetics), while others might have to work harder in those same areas (maybe a '1' genetically). It's crucial to recognize that comparing your journey to someone else's is like comparing different starting lines in a race. I often hear, "I want legs like X or shoulders like Y." Remember, if someone achieves incredible results quickly, they might be genetically predisposed to excel in those areas. What truly counts is your work ethic and persistence. Hard work can outshine natural talent over time. And beware of social media traps – if someone's content makes you feel inadequate and offers no real value, it's time to hit 'unfollow.' Think about erosion: just as the sea shapes a cliff over time, negative influences can gradually erode your confidence. Evaluate your circle – are your friends and influencers uplifting and goal-oriented, or do they bring you down? Here are three strategies for a more fulfilling life: 1. Choose Action Over Words: Surround yourself with doers, not just talkers. 2. Play to Your Strengths: Whatever you excel at, do more of it. It doesn’t always need to be about financial gain. 3. Challenge Yourself: Engage in activities you find difficult. It's in discomfort that we grow. If you're a natural host, throw that party. Good at art? Grab your sketchbook. But also step out of your comfort zone. And if you're seeking to boost your confidence, particularly in your fitness journey, I'm here to help. Drop me a message with 'READY' and let's explore how we can build a more confident you, inside and out. #ConfidenceBuilding #FitnessMindset #embraceyourjourney

𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐲 @#$! 🤬 One of the biggest challenges I faced while working in corporate jobs (for 15 years) was juggling my career and family responsibilities. I was struggling to adhere to my workouts or Nutritional needs. I constantly felt like I needed extra motivation just to make it to the gym. That's when I discovered group sessions and boot camps. I thought joining a group would give me the motivation I needed. With high hopes, I signed up for a boot camp, imagining that working out with others would help me get rid of my belly fat. On the first day, I walked into a room with around 20 other participants. I was excited and thought this would be the push I needed. However, to my surprise, I quickly realized a few critical issues: ❗️ People of all ages, from 18-year-old teenagers to 40-year-old moms, were doing the same workouts. ❗️ There was no personal attention; every trainer was focused on keeping to the schedule. ❗️ No one asked about my lifestyle or job, factors that significantly impact the type of training I should be doing. ❗️ There was no basic health check; I saw someone faint due to high blood pressure without any prior health screening. This experience taught me valuable lessons: ✅ 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝:: They don't consider individual differences and needs. ✅ 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬: Any fitness program should account for your specific lifestyle and health conditions. 𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐝: You need a plan tailored to your unique situation, not a one-size-fits-all approach. To help others avoid making the same mistakes I did, I invite you to join my FREE Facebook Group "Upgrade."
