On today's episode of RNT Fitness Radio, we're talking about the Messy Middle and the Identity Gap that happens after you lose weight. Most people get lost after they get into the best shape of their life. They don't know how to turn "shape of life" to "shape for life." This episode talks about where people get caught up in the Messy Middle and how to break out of it and avoid years and years of spinning their wheels… and never getting to the body and lifestyle they truly want. If your goal in 2026 is to break into the Reward Phase, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

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.

On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I'm joined by Manika Singh, who at the start of the year joined RNT after seeing her 3 siblings go through this journey and experience life-changing results. 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.

"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.

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. Her type 2 diabetes has gone into remission and her health is in the best place it'sbeen. This is a really cool story and I can't wait to hear it.

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.

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!
