About me and my online fitness journey
Hi, I’m Zac Harrison
I help ordinary people build extraordinary bodies without sacrificing their lifestyle. Having worked with many different clients with so many different body types, I know what works and what doesn't.
As a personal trainer with over 4 years experience, i started my fitness journey very overweight and over those years learnt how to properly balance having a healthy lifestyle and a physique i desired, combined with juggling other responsibilities in life.
Take your fitness to the next level, regain confidence and create a consistent routine through personalised workouts & healthy habits. All unique to you through my online fitness coaching.
About me as an online trainer
I started my fitness journey just after all the lockdowns in 2021, starting from the photo you see on the right.
Unlike many trainers or exercise coaches who do online fitness coaching, i did not start with a great body or the best genetics.
I enjoy socialising and eating out with friends and family who are not into the gym or dieting.
i was like most, i gain weight very easily and enjoy a drink at the weekend, but i have learned over the years how to balance this and create a physique that i wanted to achieve whilst balancing doing the things i enjoy.
These skills and hacks i have learned i want to pass onto others who have the drive to want to build a better physique through online fitness coaching.
Before
I had always been into fitness and nutrition, but after 2020 and lockdown like many people i lost all motivation to keep ontop of diet and exercise which lead to excessive weight gain, this photo was taken at the start of 2021 and i started the year determined to change my physique and my life.
It was not easy, and the first few months was a real struggle, but staying patient and persistent i kept on going slowly adding more and more over time as i felt needed, something i think is greatly lacking in today’s online fitness or gym lifestyle today is slowly getting more and more focused and adding things over time vs all in one go, developing a love for fitness takes time.
After
Fast forward to 2024 and i did exactly that, with a new found enjoyment for diet and exercise, learning to cook great, healthy meals and losing 75 pounds as well as adding muscle in the process, this process was long, hard work and i learned so much along the way, this information i wanted to pass onto other people to help transform their physiques through online fitness coaching.
My Approach
I do not believe in a one size fits all approach, fitness is a journey and like any journey, it will come with it’s unique journey, my job is to use my experience to guide you through that journey and make it easy and effective for you to work around your everday life.
Realistic & healthy nutrition
I'm a firm believer that you can still maintain a social life, even when you're on a fitness journey or even hiring an online coach. You can still enjoy drinks with your partner or pizza nights with friends.
These things will always be a part of your life, so instead I'll teach you how to optimise your nutrition around them, how to include more protein & overall eat all foods in a healthy balance... without compromising your lifestyle.
I take great pride in my clients never feeling like they're "on a diet".
Results that last forever
As your trainer, I care about not only saying "do this, do that" but instead "do this because, do that because". I will help you understand why I give you the exercises I do or suggest the meals I do.
We will slowly adjust everything from where you are now to where you want to be & I'll explain everything along the way. This means you won't bounce back after and you will maintain your results even when I'm not there.
My Clients
Why use coaching online vs a gym personal trainer ?
Cost-effectiveness
Online coaching can often be more affordable than in-person personal training, as there is no need for the trainer to rent a gym space or travel to see clients.
Convenience and flexibility
One of the biggest advantages of online coaching is that it allows you to train from the comfort of your own home or wherever you have an internet connection, at a time that suits you best. This is particularly beneficial for those who have busy schedules or who travel frequently.
Access to a wider range of experience based coaches and programs
You have access to trainers from all over the UK and even internationally. This allows you to find a coach that specialises in your specific goals or needs.
Ability to track future progress and make adjustments
Online coaches use various tools like apps, spreadsheets and software to track your progress, and make adjustments to your plan as needed. This allows for a more efficient and effective training experience.
One to one 24/7 Support
Unlike a 1-1 coach who you can speak to during your in person session, most coaching online comes with 24/7 support so you can speak to your experienced coach anytime.
A higher standard of exercise coaching
Because of the competitive nature of online coaching, the power is in your hands to find a good online coach that suits your needs, before online coaching, people was limited to picking a personal trainer or gym coach based on what that gym had, not anymore.
