Ep 452 - Hall of Fame | Raghu Kumar: Entrepreneur Drops 40lbs & Explodes His Revenue
On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I’m joined by RNTer Raghu Kumar, an entrepreneur and CEO who at the age of 40, dropped 40lbs to get into the best shape of his life this year. Raghu has since inspired members of his family and his fiance to also join him on the journey. What’s cool is he’s inspiring his children, a better decision maker at work, and his resting heart rate has gone from 65 down to 47. He’s fitter now at 40 than he was in his 20s. A really cool thing he shares is how his company has had a direct correlation in revenue growth since his RNT journey has begun. So in the truest sense…using a physical transformation as a vehicle to take everything in his life to the next level!

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.

On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I'm joined by long-time RNTer, Anila. Who, to be honest, is completely unrecognizable since where she started three years ago. Anila is down 30 kilos, but more than that her confidence has completely shot through the roof. Seeing her on a photo shoot day rocking outfits she probably never dreamed of and now just living life in a way that she didn't think was possible.

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.

Ep 446 - Hall of Fame | Arpna Mehta: 52.9lbs Down & Beating Stress Eating
After losing her uncle to brain cancer, Arpna spiralled. Grief told her, “Life’s too short… eat what you want, drink what you like.” But the deeper truth hit harder: Life’s too short to waste it feeling tired, sluggish, and disconnected from your best self. She didn’t just want to feel better. She needed to be strong, emotionally, mentally, physically, to face what was coming next: Her son’s ASD diagnosis, the stress of family life, and the growing weight of trying to hold it all together. So she stopped waiting. She committed fully. And she used the physical as the vehicle to reclaim control of her life. Losing 52.9lbs was never the full story. The real transformation came from how Arpna started to show up in her everyday life. She became sharper mentally. More focused at work. More present with her children. More intentional with her time. Arpna is now smashing it in her second year of the RNT journey, and is a great example of what’s possible when you go all in!

On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I’m joined by Jay Jethwa who comes on to share a raw, real, and honest account of the last 45 weeks on his journey with us. 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.

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.

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.

On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I'm sitting down with RNTer Archna Mehta who joined us a year ago after hitting a breaking point when she was trying on clothes during a shopping visit. 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.

Ep 437 - Is High Performance Without Pressure Possible?

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:

Ep 436 - What Mindfulness Is Missing (Re-Run)

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. Chapters: 00:00 The Journey of Self: Body and Soul Connection 02:03 Introspection and Action: The Transformation Formula 04:43 The Power of Journaling: A Personal Practice 08:41 Finding Presence: Mindfulness in Daily Activities 10:50 Individuality in Practices: Tailoring Your Journey 16:29 Facing Stress Head-On: The Importance of Action 21:34 Breaking the Cycle: Moving Beyond Victimhood 25:42 Ownership and Transformation: The Key to Progress 30:07 Physical as the Vehicle: Health and Higher Consciousness 32:07 Mindfulness and Physical Health Connection 35:04 The Importance of Physical Health for Mental Resilience 39:35 Balancing Work and Recovery 42:00 Creating Effective Evening Routines 48:40 Prioritising Health and Self-Care 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:

Ep 425 - Weight Loss Drugs: Benefits, Risks, and Realities (Ozempic, Wegovy & Mounjaro)
In today’s episode we dive into the benefits, risks and realities of modern weight loss drugs. Drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro have hit the world by storm, and as they become more accessible, will only continue to do so. There’s a lot of stigma and misunderstanding about them, and their side effects, so we wanted to share a balanced approach to how they could be integrated into a fitness journey. On a mass general population level, they’ll be a game changer in reducing obesity - you can get all the benefits of diet and exercise without doing much. If you’re listening to this however, you want a more holistic approach to your transformation, so we share insights into who it may be useful for, why and how it could be utilised, or not. Remember, a lifestyle-first approach focusing on long-term habit building and identity integration is always going to be key if you want to be a high performer in every area of life.
