Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this just another fitness program?

No. It's a personalised coaching system designed to create a successful, sustainable lifestyle, not another plan you have to build your life around.

2. What makes this different from everything I've already tried?

We don't try to fix your physique by making your life harder. We build the training, nutrition and habits around your goals and preferences.

3. Do I need to train 5–6 days a week?

No. You don't need more gym time. You need the right amount of training, done consistently, with a plan that works for you.

4. Do I have to follow a strict diet?

No.t at all. No meal plans you hate, no cutting out everything you enjoy, and no starting over every Monday. I teach you how to eat the foods you want to achieve the results you need.

5. Is this suitable for men over 40 who are already training?

Absolutely. In fact, that's who this is built for. It’s all about creating systems that suit your goals, align to your preferences and build a lifestyle you enjoy.

6. What if I've tried everything and nothing has worked long-term?

That's exactly why the system focuses on your lifestyle, because getting shredded in 12 weeks if you are not continuing to make progress in 12 months is not success.

7. Is this group coaching?

No. This is private 1:1 coaching with me personally. Your plan is built around you, with personalised training, nutrition, accountability and support.

8. Do I have to get on a sales call to join?

No. There are no sales (breakthrough, strategy etc) calls, no pressure and no waiting trying to align calendars. I’ve designed this so you can get started immediately.

9. What's the catch with starting for $0?

There isn't one. You get 7 full days to experience the coaching and the system before your first payment is due. If it's not for you, cancel within those 7 days, keep all the resources and you pay nothing.

10. What if I'm not sure this will work for me?

You don't have to take my word for it. Start for $0, experience the system for yourself and decide after you've had 7 days to see how it works. That’s my “love it or leave it” guarantee

The Physique You Want Is Built By The Lifestyle You Live!

For high-performing men 40+ who are done chasing quick fixes. Build the lifestyle that makes lasting results inevitable.

THIS ISN'T ANOTHER DIET OR TRAINING PROGRAM...

It's about figuring out how to make training, nutrition and the habits that matter work around your goals, your preferences and real-life responsibility.

Because getting in shape shouldn't require your life to revolve around it.

The goal is to get results that last, without constantly having to start over.

"I’m using all the skills you gave me and the results at almost 42, I’m in the best shape I have ever been in!

And you know, it never comes down to how much a bloke can lift, but when you can look them in the eye and can see they’re happy, that’s fukn livin’ ”

BECAUSE HERE'S THE THING...

If you're over 40, successful in your career and have a busy life, you probably already know what you should be doing.

Eat better.

Train consistently.

Get enough protein.

Move more.

Sleep more.

You've probably done all of that before.

So if knowing what to do was enough...

Why aren't you already where you want to be?

Because the problem isn't information.

It's implementation.

Making it work when work gets crazy.

When you're travelling.

When the kids need you.

When you're eating out.

When the weekend rolls around.

When motivation disappears.

That's where most programs fall apart.

And honestly, that's where I believe real coaching begins.

A big shout out to Josh from physique essentials for help, who showed me a way to get leaner and stronger with better nutrition choices and strength training.

This was all accomplished with a busted knee and during covid lockdowns with the gyms being shut, so no excuses!”

Rick - Solider, post ACL Reconstruction

I DON'T GIVE YOU ANOTHER PROGRAM...

I HELP YOU BUILD THE LIFESTYLE THAT MAKES THE PROGRAM WORK.

Anyone can write you a workout.

Anyone can give you calories and macros.

Anyone can tell you to eat more protein and train three times a week.

If that was enough, everyone would already be in shape.

My job isn't to give you more information.

It's to help you put the right information into practice.

We'll figure out what works for you.

We'll put it into practice.

We'll see what happens.

We'll make adjustments when we need to.

And we'll build a way of doing this that actually fits your life.

Because real life isn't perfect.

And your plan shouldn't require it to be.

Case Study: Brendan - FIFO professional

“I will say this again the cost of engaging you was money well spent. And I thank you for educating me as well as you have, the continual support that you promised you a true gentleman my friend.”

THE PHYSIQUE IS THE BY-PRODUCT.

Most people chase the body first and then try to make their life fit around it.

I work the other way around.

We start with what makes you tick.

Your work.

Your family.

Your schedule.

Your preferences.

Your habits.

Your goals.

Then we build the lifestyle that supports the physique you want.

Because when you get that right...

Your body becomes the natural result of the way you live.

You don't have to constantly "get back on track."

You don't have to start again every Monday.

You don't have to spend the rest of your life dieting.

You simply know how to live in a way that keeps you lean, strong and healthy.

That's Physique and Lifestyle Freedom.

“Others ask what I did and what I ate etc, but I tell them it’s a package, a way of life and needing a navigator to teach!

It's been the best course, with a system that's simple in design but huge on impact. Could not recommend it more...”

Dr Charlie

AND THAT'S WHY I DON'T WANT YOU TO NEED ME FOREVER.

This is one of the biggest differences between what I do and a traditional fitness program.

I don't want to keep you dependent on me.

I want to teach you how to do this yourself.

That's self-mastery.

You should eventually know:

What works for you.

How to make adjustments.

What to do when life gets busy.

How to handle weekends, holidays and travel.

How to get yourself back on track without starting from scratch.

And most importantly... how to do it without me.

That's when I know I've done my job.

"I decided to kickstart a new health and conditioning program with Josh, as life had become incredibly busy with work, kids, and coaching sports. I needed a fresh challenge, wanting to explore methods beyond my usual running and cycling routine.

Incredibly, the program has exceeded my expectations.

Josh's guidance has been nothing short of amazing, teaching me valuable insights on nutrition and conditioning. I am now as strong as ever, feeling a renewed sense of health and energy and the knowledge to now continue training within my super busy life!"

Shannon, Business owner and Dad of 4

WHO THIS IS FOR

This is for the guy who's successful everywhere else in life...

But knows his physique isn't where he wants it to be.

He's probably tried a few things.

Maybe he's even had success.

But he's tired of the cycle:

Get motivated → get in shape → life gets busy → fall off → start again.

He's done with quick fixes.

He's done with extreme diets.

He's done with challenges.

And he's done blaming himself for not being disciplined enough.

He wants a way of doing this that actually fits his life.

And he wants to know that this time...

he won't have to start over.

Case Study: Andrew - Teacher

"I now have a body to be proud of and can continue to improve. If I had continued on my old path I would have had some major health problems. Instead I am now lowering my medications"

THIS IS WHY MY CLIENTS TALK ABOUT COACHING DIFFERENTLY.

“I'm using all the skills you gave me and the results at almost 42, I'm in the best shape I have ever been in!”

Shaun, Business Owner & Dad

“I couldn't have done it without the systems you have taught me.”

Bill

“I've been taught valuable insights on nutrition and conditioning... and the knowledge to now continue training within my super busy life!”

Shannon, Business Owner & Dad of 4

They're not just talking about what they lost.

They're talking about what they can now do.

That's the transformation I'm interested in.

"Another week that felt like the normal routine, and I love that results are almost predictable. Another wardrobe clean out and have to do some media for work which results in lots of colleagues commenting on how fit I was looking. Alway nice recognition or not only the effort, but also for making the vest decision ever to change my mindset and commit to taking action.

THIS IS WHAT COACHING ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE.

I'm not going to hand you a plan and wish you luck.

And I'm not going to disappear behind an app full of information.

We're going to work through this together.

I'll learn about you, your goals, your lifestyle and what's stopped you getting the result you want.

Then we'll build your plan.

You'll put it into practice.

We'll see what happens.

We'll make adjustments.

And we'll keep moving forward.

That's coaching.

Not more information.

Implementation.

Because the plan itself doesn't create the result.

What you do with it does.

"I couldn't have done it without the systems you have taught me. And today at 106.8 (down from 122 this time last year), is massive for me. I'm moving more these days and I love it, especially in the tough times. Thanks Josh"

Bill

SO, WHAT IF THERE WAS A BETTER WAY?

You don't need another program.

You don't need more information.

You don't need another challenge.

You need a way of making this work in the life you actually live.

That's really the difference.

And if everything you've read so far has made you think:

“Finally. Someone who gets it.”

Then I'd like to invite you to take a closer look.

I've put together the details of exactly how The Elite Physique Project works.

What it's like to work with me and what happens if you decide you'd like to give it a go.

No pressure.

Just have a look and see if you think it's the right fit for you.
