Question 1

Is this a fitness programme or something else?

Accepted Answer

It's a coaching experience that uses training, walking, food, sleep and consistency as the vehicle. The physical work is real and it's the point — it's just not the whole point. You rebuild confidence and identity by proving to yourself what you can do, week after week.

Question 2

I'm in my 40s, 50s or 60s and a long way from where I was. Is it too late?

Accepted Answer

No. Most people start after a long gap, an injury, an operation or a decade of putting everyone else first. Eddie started at 61, a year after major emergency surgery. Everything is scaled to where you are today — full gym, a couple of dumbbells, or nothing but bodyweight.

Question 3

Do I have to be over 40?

Accepted Answer

No. Age is context, not the entry requirement. The rebuild is for anyone who's lost touch with the person they know they can be. Most people here happen to be 40–60 because that's when life gets busiest.

Question 4

When can I start?

Accepted Answer

Whenever you're ready. Grounded:42 isn't run in rounds or waves — there's no intake to wait for and no group start date. Your week 1 is the day you join, and your 12 weeks run from there. Sign up below, or message me on WhatsApp if you have questions.

Question 5

Do I need a gym, or can I train at home?

Accepted Answer

Either. Training is personalised to what you have access to — a full gym, a set of dumbbells at home, or nothing but your bodyweight. Home plans are built around your equipment and the time you realistically have.

Question 6

How much time does it actually take?

Accepted Answer

Three to four sessions a week of 30–45 minutes, plus daily habits that fit around work, children and sleep rather than replacing them. It's built for a full life, not a blank calendar.

Question 7

Why does motivation keep failing me?

Accepted Answer

Because motivation is an emotion — it turns up when it feels like it. Standards and routines don't. Week after week you gather real evidence in your own life until you have a blueprint you've proven works for you.

Question 8

How long is Grounded:42?

Accepted Answer

Twelve weeks, and they're yours — they start the day you join. Your first six weeks build the structure, your next six weeks are coaching to apply it. The system is the same simple framework, accountability and clear standards; twelve weeks is what makes it stick.

Question 9

What actually happens during the 12 weeks?

Accepted Answer

A personalised training plan for your setup, a 37-page workbook, weekly themes and videos, live calls with me and the group, and weekly check-ins. You track training, food, hydration, steps and sleep — then graduate with a blueprint you can run yourself.

Question 10

What happens after Grounded:42?

Accepted Answer

You finish with a proven blueprint and two paths: go solo and keep applying it yourself, or continue with coaching if you want someone in your corner (a 12-week commitment, then monthly or another 12-week block). Either way you stay part of the Grounded community for life. No packages to compare — just a conversation on WhatsApp or a call.

Question 11

Can I skip Grounded:42 and go straight to 1-to-1 coaching?

Accepted Answer

Most people should start with Grounded:42 — it builds the foundations everything else stands on. But if you already have solid training experience and know what you need next, I'll take you on directly as a 1-to-1 client on a 12-week commitment, continuing monthly or in 12-week blocks after that. Message me on WhatsApp or book a call and we'll work out which is right for you.
