RNT Fitness Radio

Today I’m joined by a good friend of mine, Kuldip Sahota, to talk about goals. What they are, how they work, and most of all, how to avoid failing on the ones you’ve set. As serial entrepreneur and investor, Kuldip co-founded Mr. Singhs from a garden shed in East London and grew it from a startup to a global food brand in just 3 years. Featured by the likes of the BBC, Sunday Times, The Telegraph and more; His businesses supplied Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Selfridges; attracted millions of viral video views; and he even advised 10 Downing Street on business strategy. Having had his own life transformed by business coaching he decided to train as a coach himself and pass on his hard-won experience to clients.     Support Akash & icanyoucantoo   Fight tickets Justgiving Page   Book A Call To Start Your Journey!   Thanks so much for listening!

Today I’m recording to you live from Phuket with a great friend of mine, Abhi, who jumps on the mic for the first time to interview me on a few recent questions I’ve been getting on the DMs. We dive into my Muay Thai journey, my first upcoming fight, body dysmorphia, our brand new app we’ve launched, and some of what makes RNT so special. By the way, I’m now 7 weeks out from my first fight, if you’re in the UK and would like to attend, I’ve put the links in the show notes. In these 7 weeks, my aim is to also raise £5000 for a social enterprise very close to my heart, icanyoucantoo, who’s goal is to provide underprivileged youth in London to coaching, access and resources to fulfil their potential. The link to donate is also the show notes.   Support Akash & icanyoucantoo   Fight tickets Justgiving Page   Book A Call To Start Your Journey!   Thanks so much for listening!

On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio I’m joined by Korby Waters, a business expert you’ll have never heard of, until today. Korby is a good friend of mine who I’ve learnt a ton from over the years, in life, mindset, relationships and business. He’s the brains behind many big names in different industries, and learnt from many of the OGs of direct marketing and personal development. With it being the start of the year, this episode is going to be perfect for you to ask the right questions, build a resilient mindset, and make sure you follow through on what you’ve committed to achieving.

Welcome back to another episode of RNT Fitness Radio, and today I’m joined by RNTers Ujj and Naini, who in 2022, lost an astonishing 60 kilos between them! What I love about their story is that it’s the perfect example of what’s possible when you put the blinders up, and just go all in on your transformation. As always, this transformation is more than just the physical. And in this episode, you’ll see how they’re both using the physical as the vehicle to do things they never thought possible, whilst creating generational health for their families. To see their transformations and read their story, be sure to check out the show notes!   Case Study   Time Stamps   0:33 What was the series of moments that led to your trigger moment of joining RNT? 4:00 What was your lightbulb moment?  11:00 What took you so long to contact RNT?  11:30 Why did it have to be a joint transformation?  13:25 Why did you choose RNT? 18:45 What was the process like to get started for you? 25:20 How has the dynamic been on this journey as a couple and parents?  28:05 Do you do your workouts at home or gym? 34:22 How did you tackle nutrition?  37:31 What has been the impact on your daughter? 41:07 What has been the most effective part of the RNT process for you? 46:40 How has the physical been the vehicle for you? 52:45 What almost stopped you from joining? 56:50 What would you say to someone starting their journey now?     Book A Call To Start Your Journey!   Thanks so much for listening!

Got something a little different for you today. Instead of physical fitness, we’re going to dive deep into financial fitness! A friend of mine, Huw Davies, loves helping people solve money problems, so they can get on with the more important things in life. His aim is to make you financially free whilst putting a smile on your face. The beauty of this episode is it’s one for everyone, no matter your income bracket. And Huw explains some strategic shifts you can make in your expenses, savings and investing to maximise your income, and most of all, set yourself up for life. Huw’s own story starts from being up to his eyeballs in debt. Until he decided enough is enough. So he became financially independent in 2016, whereby he built a stocks and shares portfolio he could live off, coupled with a £1m property portfolio, all in the space of 18 months.   Disclaimer - This is not financial advice. Huw is not a qualified financial advisor. He shares his experience with money and his content is for entertainment purposes only. When selecting a financial advisor, just make sure they’re personally invested in the stock market, property, crypto and are financially independent.

My in-laws have lost 60kg+ combined. It started with Chetan in Oct 2020, when he found out he was going to be a dad. Having slowly gained weight for years, he knew he needed to change his lifestyle if he wanted to be the best dad for his son.   6 months later he was 25kg down, and he’s kept it off since. The ripple effect spread to his wife Pooja, who after gaining weight pre + post pregnancy, hated what she saw in the mirror. Low in confidence, energy and losing her identity, she wanted to make a change. This was Oct 2021. A year later she’s down 25+kg with a few more to go to hit her goal.   The dominos continued to fall, next with my mother-in-law, Ella. With arthritis and cholesterol concerns, I gifted her RNT for her 60th this year. And just before Xmas, she said, “by the way guys, I’ve hit my checkpoint!”    Losing 10kg, she now has the energy to run around (endlessly!) with her grandson. Her pain in her wrist is gone, and I suspect (tests to confirm soon), her cholesterol is under control. She’s also the first 60+ woman to checkpoint with us at RNT! There’s something special knowing the business you’re building is having a direct, life-changing impact on all of your immediate family.   It’s a different feeling that’s hard to describe. So instead, I invited the Chavda’s to share their stories on this episode of RNT Fitness Radio. This one is real special for us. Next up I gotta convince my father-in-law, but until then, let’s dive into this one!   Time Stamps   0:30 Chetan story 2 years ago  2:00 Chetan when did you decide to change  3:12 Pooja journey start  4:30 Where were you before pregnancy?  7:00 Are there moments in your life/ day where you eat more?  9:00 How did you feel before starting RNT?  10:00 Why we didn’t take any photos anymore  11:20 How for Chetan find overhauling his habits  14:01 Pooja, how did you find the start with a newborn baby?  15:40 How did you fit everything in your week?  17:00 New mum journey  19:02 Social media pressure  20:28 Identity crisis 22:30 Ella (My MIL) Journey start point  24:30 How did you feel about your health  26:27 How have you found the exercises?  27:21 How is your diet with Indian food? 29:18 How do you feel now? 29:30 How has this journey affected the family dynamic?  32:35 Key habits for Chetan  34:40 Pooja, what have you found the most challenging?  36:40 Do any of your old habits haunt you?  41:20 What’s RNT given you to help you achieve your transformation, Chetan? 43:45 What’s RNT given you to help you achieve your transformation, Pooja? 45:15 What’s RNT given you to help you achieve your transformation, Ella? 47:15 How’s the physical been the vehicle  49:25 What almost kept you from joining this journey  53:00 Advice to give someone who is thinking of starting their journey in 2023     Book A Call To Start Your Journey!   Thanks so much for listening!

On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I’m joined by Will Chicomb, who’s taking the British natural bodybuilding scene by storm. It’s rare I meet athletes early in their career and just know they’re going to go all the way to the top. Will is that guy. After becoming the British teen bodybuilding champion in 2018, he then stepped up the age categories to take overall titles at the BNBF British midlands this year, and 3rd in the overall British finals. What’s crazy is he also won the overall at the PCA muscle talk championships this year, where he went up against bodybuilders who’d been using performance enhancing drugs for decades.   This episode is a deep dive into all things bodybuilding, as we compare notes and discuss our respective approaches to physique enhancement. I was recently introduced to Will through our supplement partners, Optimum Nutrition, so last week I went down to their headquarters in London to record this episode with Will. Which reminds me, if you’re looking to stock up on your supplements before Christmas, use the code RNT20 on the Optimum Nutrition US and UK stores for 20% off. And if you want a free Optimum Nutrition gift box, I’m currently running a review giveaway. All you need to do is leave a review on Apple Podcasts, screenshot it, and email it to info@rntfitness.com with your best shipping address.   Time Stamps   00:43 Will’s year recap of events  02:24 Will’s physical stats  05:50 Why did you get into training?  07:50 Inspired by Jackie Chan and WWE 10:00 Were you good at sports?  10:15 What do you bench now?  11:20 How did training impact you mentally?  14:25 What is your “Why”?  17:35 Training and Nutrition  23:50 Favourite Exercises  25:40 How does your training week look when bulking?  26:25 What works well for any weak body parts?  29:30 Why you should drop attachment to some exercises  30:15 Judges opinions  31:20 How is your condition currently?  34:30 Recovery post show  35:40 How did you find the recovery period?  38:58 How long did you hold shredded?  41:07 Game plan 2023  45:09 Superstars are made in the off season 47:00 How did you approach your peak week?  50:19 What is your supplement regime?  52:30 How long have you been using Optimum Nutrition?  53:15 What are you most excited for coming up?  54:01 One piece of advice from Will  55.45 Will asks Akash about his Vegan to shredded journey  Book A Call To Start Your Journey!   Thanks so much for listening!

On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio I bring the team on to discuss whether getting shredded, and dieting to an extreme, where you push yourself as hard as you can to do something you never thought possible, is worth doing. And of course, whether some of the recent media around dieting, extreme fat loss, and getting shredded, is actually true. We segue nicely into discussing what a true transformation actually entails, and what to consider to see if you’re ready for one.   Time Stamps   02.00 Where did this idea come from - Getting SHREDDED Bad For You? 06.00 Where it goes from in the fitness journey. 08:00 Are you being too aggressive?  12.25 - Are you dieting?  13.35 - Are you just dipping your toes? 17.20 - What does it mean to be “All in” 20.30 - Taking control  21.50 - What a physical transformation does to you mentally.  25.15 - Actions Vs Priorities  32.00 - What do you want with your life?  36.30 - Why you need to have a plan 38.00 - Future thinking  43.00 - Your top 3 priorities Book A Call To Start Your Journey!   Thanks so much for listening!
