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. This is a really insightful account of the transformation that happens when you go on this journey.

Ep 450 - Hall of Fame | Agostina Murgia: Six-Pack Abs & Toned Arms At 61 Years Young! “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.

Ep 447 - Hall Of Fame | Sumit Pal: Executive Sheds 50lbs Despite Relentless Work Travel All Over The US On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I'm joined by Sumit Pal, who in the last 12 months at RNT has absolutely crushed it with his health, fitness, and overall lifestyle change. Sumit is over 20 kilos down now. One of his drivers when he first started was to have the energy and vitality to be at his absolute best as a dad and to help instil long-term lifestyle habits with the family. He's not only accomplished those two, he's also hit his third goal which was to improve his performance on the cricket pitch. As a recreational cricketer, he's gone from playing in the over 40s to now knocking it about with the 20 year olds. Sumit travels for work pretty much every 2-4 weeks to the States and all over, so despite changing time zones and constantly different environments, he's managed to stay on track and absolutely nailed the process. This is a great example of what happens when you go all in on your transformation.

Jay has dropped 36 kilos (79 pounds) in 45 weeks, and we recorded this a day before his photo shoot. There are few times I’m left pretty much speechless with very few things to say - I didn’t have to ask anything. The story tells itself, and Jay literally comes on to share everything. A year ago, Jay was lost, unsure who he was, and in his own words, he was binge eating so hard he never wanted to wake up from the food comas he put himself into. Now he’s a new man. He’s also flying to the US from the UK to our upcoming retreat. This is a front-runner for our upcoming awards ceremony this year, and I can’t wait for you to listen to this.

Ep 443 - Hall Of Fame | Vishwa Unadkat: Creating A Sustainable Lifestyle Change On this week's episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I'm joined by RNTer Vishwa, who is now 14 months into her journey. Vishwa recently completed an awesome photo shoot to mark her checkpoint after losing 30 pounds. She gives a raw and honest account of where she was before she joined RNT, why she joined, why regaining energy was such an important part of her journey, and why she wanted a lifestyle change more than anything. As she heads into her second year with us at RNT, she talks about crystallising the lifestyle solution that she desires over the next year, and also some of the roadblocks that she's faced along the way. We also dive into discoveries around habits and associations that have been with her for decades and how she's managed to unpack that through her journey so far. We cover all parts of the journey here from CTP, Process, Consolidation and early Investment, so no matter where you are, there's something in it for you.

Ep 440 - Hall Of Fame | Dr. Roya Javid: Maintaining A Bikini Body For 3+ Years Intuitively At 52 Year Old (As A Mom Of Two, Physician + Entrepreneur) On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I’m joined by long-time RNTer and physician, Roya Javid, to explore what life has looked like since first starting her journey with us at the end of 2021. After being diagnosed with scoliosis at age 12, Roya spent much of her life battling chronic pain. Then, following the pandemic and a rotator cuff surgery in 2021, she began gaining weight and losing structure. With years of diet attempts behind her, she was searching for a sustainable solution—and that’s when she came across RNT after taking one of our quizzes, which we’ll link in the show notes. Fast forward to today: at 52 years young, Roya is still in the best shape of her life. She’s maintained a bikini-body physique year-round, all while juggling motherhood, running multiple businesses, launching a non-profit, and enjoying complete food freedom. If you’ve ever wondered what the strategies behind long-term success look like with the RNT Transformation Journey, this episode is for you.

She tried everything for years but after seeing her cousin go through the RNT journey, she knew a holistic approach with a proven method was the missing piece.Fast forward a year and despite PCOS, menopause, hypothyroid, vegetarian diet and being in her mid-40s, Archna is in the best shape of her life and is now working on building a lifestyle solution to maintain it year-round. And it's not just the physical results. Archna has grown in confidence and energy; and her health, hormones and habits are in the best place ever.

Ep 437 - Is High Performance Without Pressure Possible? 06/25/2025

Ep 437 - Is High Performance Without Pressure Possible? Welcome back to RNT Fitness Radio. Today, I’m joined by Coach Ivan, who’s flown in all the way from Australia to spend a few days with us here in the UK. While he’s over, we decided to hit record on a conversation we’ve been having behind the scenes — all about the concept of performance without pressure. For most of my life, I’ve thrived on pressure. Big goals. High stakes. All-or-nothing thinking. It’s driven a lot of what I’ve achieved. But recently, I’ve started to question whether that pressure is still serving me — or if it’s just a part of an old identity I’ve outgrown. In this episode, we unpack what it really means to perform at a high level without constantly chasing, grinding, or forcing outcomes. It’s a reflective and real conversation, and I hope it sparks something for you too. Let’s dive in. Chapters: 00:00 Performance Without Pressure 02:59 The Journey of Self-Discovery 10:13 The Importance of Enjoying the Process 18:26 Redefining Goals and Expectations 26:12 Finding Balance in Performance and Enjoyment 30:34 Intelligent Training and the Role of Coaching 31:45 Rediscovering Joy in Fitness 32:42 Identity Shifts and Personal Growth 33:37 The Balance of Performance and Enjoyment 36:01 The Pressure of Performance Metrics 37:40 The Importance of Rest and Recovery 38:11 Finding Fun in Work and Life 41:31 The Journey Over the Destination 43:08 Reframing Health and Fitness Goals 46:41 Gratitude and Perspective in Fitness 51:08 Experimentation in Training and Nutrition 55:23 Urgency in Weight Loss vs. Performance Goals Next steps: 1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: 2) Take our quiz to see if you’re ready for a transformation: 3) Get our free book shipped to your door: 4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: 5) RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness: Connect with Akash: /episode/index/show/rntfitness/id/37145290

Ep 436 - What Mindfulness Is Missing (Re-Run) 06/18/2025

Ep 436 - What Mindfulness Is Missing (Re-Run) Hey, it’s Akash here, and on this week’s episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I’m bringing back a classic - a rerun of what’s still the most popular team episode we’ve ever recorded. It’s called “What Typical Mindfulness Is Missing”, and over the years, it’s racked up tens of thousands of downloads. I think it struck it chord when it dropped because it tackled a conversation we have often behind the scenes at RNT - the idea that you can’t just think your way to a transformation. Mindfulness is powerful, and it absolutely has its place. But on its own, it’s not enough. Just like physical change isn’t the full picture either. What we’re really after - and what this episode explores - is a holistic approach that blends mind, body, and action. This originally aired four or five years ago, but the message is just as relevant today - if not more. I hope you enjoy revisiting it.
