Verified Program Reviews
Owain Yeoman
“I have worked with a number of personal trainers during my 8 years in Los Angeles and none have proved more effective or knowledgeable than Scott – I have lost weight and gained lean muscle mass by working out with Scott and have had no hesitation in recommending him to friends and colleagues”
Kierston Wareing
“Since meeting Scott, it’s the first time I’ve ever enjoyed training in a gym. Time passes quickly and the sessions are varied. He also provides a rounded service, focusing on nutrition as well as exercise so that I achieve my goals quicker. I’m definitely seeing a difference and getting more toned which is exactly what I wanted”
Tom Macleod
“With the fortune of having Scott at my disposal, I signed up for a 5k swim in Ireland. That’s just over 3 miles, so a greater distance than last year. But most importantly, I wanted to swim faster, swim stronger, and raise plenty of money for the UK’s leading brain injury charity, Headway UK. Scott’s plan worked perfectly in the lead-up to race day. The swim training he’d devised had me peak at a good time – I was swimming the full 5k distance in practice 10 days before the race itself and feeling good. I felt the training was so beneficial that I’ve signed up to do another 5k later this year, and I know sticking to a lot of Scott’s advice will stand me in good stead for that”
Why I built this program
When I began as a personal trainer, I was mainly focused on physical appearances. My clients and I aimed for stunning body transformations, and I became known as an expert. However, as time went on and my business expanded, I faced challenges. Long work hours affected my digestion, skin, mood, and overall health. I struggled with poor sleep and felt out of shape.
I realized that if I, with all my health knowledge, found these challenges tough, how much harder would it be for others without such resources? This realization changed my approach. I decided to create a program that went beyond just physical appearance. I aimed to address overall wellness, helping people navigate their busy lives and feel rejuvenated. This was the start of ‘A Healthy Ambition’.
Why it works
Many fitness programs emphasize intense regimens that may not cater to everyone, often leading to burnout and a loss of confidence. These approaches might work when you’re already at your best but falter when you’re not. ‘A Healthy Ambition’ is different; it meets you where you are, serving as an adaptable starting point for all fitness aspirations.
We focus on securing the basics—sleep, stress management, nutrition, and a balanced routine—laying a resilient foundation for lasting success. This program ensures sustainable results, preparing you for lifelong fitness and preventing burnout, so you can achieve your highest fitness ambitions.
Is it for you?
If you’re at that point where you don’t quite recognize the person in the mirror and know deep down it’s time for change, then ‘A Healthy Ambition’ program is built specifically for you. This isn’t about quick fixes or overnight transformations; it’s about adopting a sensible, steady, and holistic approach to reclaiming your health and vitality.
We’ll focus on sustainable changes, setting foundations that will empower you to reach any health or fitness goal you set your sights on in the future. So if you’re ready to feel like yourself again and create a future of wellness, this is your first step. The journey to rediscover yourself starts here.

THE 3 Mistakes PREVENTING YOU FROM Results
Achieving body recomposition requires a balanced approach where both aspects of the goal – losing fat and gaining muscle – are considered equally. It’s not about overly focusing on one aspect while neglecting the other. Instead, your training program and lifestyle should harmoniously support both sides of this goal. Common mistakes often stem from overly aggressive strategies that favor either fat loss or muscle gain, rendering the other half of the goal virtually unattainable. Remember, the key to successful body recomposition lies in striking the right balance.
Extreme Training
When it comes to training, more isn’t always better. In fact, extreme training can lead to a higher risk of injury, increased fatigue, and chronic stress on your body, which hinders recovery and can negatively impact your overall health. It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that you need to train harder to see results, but this approach can quickly lead to burnout and discouragement if the pace isn’t sustainable. The Healthy Ambition Program emphasizes balance, helping you find a level of training that challenges you but doesn’t overwhelm or risk your well-being.
Restrictive Dieting
While it may seem like a good idea to strictly limit your food intake to lose weight quickly, restrictive dieting can often backfire. Not only does it potentially lead to nutrient deficiencies and negatively affect your metabolism, but it can also foster an unhealthy relationship with food. Over time, this can trigger cycles of binge eating and guilt, hindering progress towards your health goals. In the Healthy Ambition Program, you’ll learn to cultivate a healthier approach to eating, focusing on nourishment and enjoyment rather than restriction and deprivation.
Lack of momentum
Fitness and health goals require consistency to achieve, and the lack of momentum can be a huge barrier. When you’re unable to build and maintain a regular rhythm with your exercise and nutrition habits, it’s much harder to make progress. You might start strong but then find it difficult to keep going, especially when life gets busy or when immediate results aren’t visible. The Healthy Ambition Program addresses this issue by focusing on attainable steps and sustainable habits, helping you build momentum that carries you towards your goals over time.
Healthy Ambition Program Breakdown
Phase 1
The initial two-week training phase is going to allow you to build the base level conditioning that will carry you through the rest of the training program. This allows you to get through the initial muscle aches of introducing new rep ranges and exercises. This lighter start to the program also allows you to get used to a new training structure.
The initial weeks of the program also give you plenty of time to embrace the lifestyle changes and abundant food intake meaning that you’ll be fully energised and ready to take on the step up in training in week three.
During week three we’ll take a step down in rep range and uptick in the weights used, this way we’ve benefitted from the contrast of high rep work in week 1-2 and now return to a more conventional rep range as we ramp up our lifestyle efforts and continue to move through the challenging strength workouts maintaining progressive overload in every workout.
In
You must break the all-or-nothing cycle
Let me share a paradox I’ve observed throughout my career as a personal trainer. High achievers – the Type As, the go-getters, the ones who work long hours and shoulder immense responsibilities – are particularly susceptible to a peculiar trap. With their drive and determination, they climb to great heights in their professions. But often, somewhere along that journey, they take their eye off the ball health-wise. In a cruel twist of irony, the same individuals who were once the picture of discipline and resilience can find themselves burnt out, fatigued, and physically a mere shadow of their former selves.
It’s natural to want to apply the same ‘all-in’ strategy to regaining fitness as one would to conquering a professional challenge. After all, it’s this mindset that got things done before, right? But therein lies the trap. When it comes to regaining your health and fitness, an overzealous approach often does more harm than good. Intensive training regimes without ample recovery time, or extreme diets that sap the joy out of eating, are not sustainable in the long term. They can lead to a cycle of burnout that leaves you feeling defeated and demoralized. And perfectionism, usually an ally in high achievers’ pursuits, can be an insidious saboteur when it comes to health and fitness.
The key, I’ve found, is not to aim for perfection from the get-go, but to focus on gaining momentum with small wins. Instead of a complete overhaul, think incremental change. Imagine waking up each day just a little more energized, feeling slightly stronger, having a bit more endurance, losing a smidgeon of body fat, or standing a little taller with better posture. Each win, no matter how small, is a step in the right direction. It’s a nudge towards healthier habits, better resilience, and a rekindled determination to care for your body.
This is the approach that our “Healthy Ambition” program takes. It recognizes that the road to fitness isn’t a sprint, but a marathon, where the real power lies in the compound effect of small, consistent improvements. Because, in the end, what matters isn’t just the destination, but the sustainable and enjoyable journey that gets you there.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
The Healthy Ambition program is a holistic approach to wellness and fitness designed to help high achievers reclaim their health. Rather than promoting an ‘all or nothing’ mentality, the program focuses on steady, sustainable progress through incremental change.
This program is ideal for busy professionals, high achievers, and anyone who feels their health and fitness have taken a back seat due to their hectic lifestyle. If you’ve felt the effects of burnout and are ready for a sensible, manageable approach to fitness, Healthy Ambition is for you.
The Healthy Ambition program focuses on consistent, gradual improvements across various aspects of fitness. You can expect gains in strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, posture, and resiliency, along with a reduction in weight and body fat. However, the true strength of this program lies in the momentum you build over time, equipping you with sustainable habits for long-term success.
Great question. One of the exciting parts about the Healthy Ambition Program is that you’ll begin to notice results quite quickly, though they might not be the type you’d normally expect. Instead of just physical changes, you’ll start to notice changes in your energy levels almost immediately. As you start to engage in regular exercise and healthier eating habits, your body will respond positively, making you feel more energized, alert, and overall, just better.
As for the visible changes, like body composition and strength, those usually start to show around the third or fourth week. This can vary slightly from person to person depending on factors such as your starting point and commitment to the program, but it’s generally around this time that you’ll begin to notice a change in your appearance and physical capabilities. Remember, this program is all about sustainable change, which means progress might feel gradual, but it’s designed to provide results that are long-lasting. Stick with it, and you’ll be amazed at the transformation!
The Healthy Ambition Program is designed to be efficient and effective without consuming your entire schedule. Therefore, you will be required to workout only three times per week. This frequency is not only scientifically proven to be highly effective for improving your fitness and health, but it also allows for proper recovery between sessions, which is vital for sustainable progress. Moreover, this schedule strikes a good balance between achieving excellent results and still having time for your other commitments. Remember, this is about a sustainable lifestyle change, not a quick fix, so it’s important to ensure the program fits into your life, rather than it taking over.
Yes, this program is designed with the assumption that you have access to a gym. Recomposition demands a progressive approach to strength training – consistently pushing yourself to handle slightly more resistance over time, which is best achieved with scalable gym equipment. While it’s possible to achieve some level of recomposition at home, the precise tracking of improvements, crucial for your success, may be harder. If your circumstances necessitate a home-based program using available equipment, please check out my online personal training service, which offers bespoke training plans tailored to your specific conditions.
This program respects your busy lifestyle. The recommended daily commitment varies but usually falls within a reasonable 30-60 minute window.
Absolutely, the Healthy Ambition program is suitable for beginners. Whether you’re starting out or rekindling your interest in health and fitness, this program sets the right foundations. It’s designed to establish a base level of strength, stability, and balance from which you can confidently build upon to achieve a variety of future fitness goals. This is not just about the transformation you will see in the mirror but also about setting you up for long-term success in your fitness journey.
Absolutely! Our accountability coach option is an enhanced service designed to help you stick to your program and reach your goals. Your dedicated accountability coach will provide oversight on your training progress, and if you’re comfortable with it, your food log. They will check in with you regularly, offering guidance, motivation, and importantly, accountability. This service ensures you’re not just following a plan, but you have someone to turn to, who’s invested in your success and there to push you when you need it. It’s an additional layer of support to help you fully commit to and implement the program.
Absolutely, I offer two forms of money-back guarantees. The first is a straightforward, no-questions-asked refund within the first 10 days of your purchase. The second is my unique 80% guarantee. If you maintain an 80% compliance rate with the program and do not see a lower body fat percentage by the end of it, I’ll refund your money. This makes the purchase totally risk-free. With 80% consistency, you’re going to see results – it’s that simple.
The goal of this program is to provide you with the knowledge and habits that will serve you in the long term. Once you complete the program, you should have the tools you need to maintain your results and continue leading a healthier lifestyle.

Case Studies & Use Cases
John
Returning To Exercise after a long lay-off
John was an active individual who took a long hiatus from fitness due to a demanding career. He used to be passionate about sports and loved working out, but the demands of work and other life commitments took him away from the gym for several years. In an attempt to reclaim his fitness, John initially tried some popular high-intensity interval training (HIIT) programs. But the relentless pace and intensity left him feeling drained, achy, and disheartened. Demotivated, he ended up falling off the wagon again, only cementing his realization that he needed a different approach.
Enter the Healthy Ambition program, specifically tailored for people like John. This program prioritizes incremental change and long-term habit formation over immediate, drastic results. Its more manageable pace means that John can begin rebuilding his fitness without the intimidation of overwhelming workouts. Instead, he can enjoy his return to fitness and the resulting energy boost it gives him, without suffering from the aches and fatigue that knocked him off course before. Healthy Ambition is just the right platform for John to reintegrate fitness into his life in a sustainable, enjoyable way.
Evelyn
Exercise For Better Mental Health
Evelyn has always recognized the impact of exercise on her mental health. The feeling of accomplishment after a workout and the rush of endorphins would often elevate her mood and relieve stress. However, despite knowing the benefits, the aggressive and relentless nature of many fitness programs made her feel pressured and judged. They often demanded more time and energy than she could consistently give, making her feel like she was failing. This cycle of guilt and defeat was counterproductive to her fitness and her mental health.
This is where the Healthy Ambition program became a game changer for Evelyn. With its emphasis on consistency over intensity, the program provided the balance she needed. It allowed her to integrate regular, manageable exercise into her lifestyle without feeling overwhelmed. The program wasn’t about breaking records or pushing to extremes; it was about taking care of oneself and acknowledging that fitness is a journey and not a destination. The Healthy Ambition program enabled Evelyn to make exercise a regular, no-pressure part of her life, enhancing her mood and wellbeing, without the guilt or judgment that can come with more aggressive fitness regimens. She was able to use fitness as a positive tool for her mental health, rather than a source of stress.
Martin
Becoming A Positive Role Model
Martin, a loving father to two young sons, knew the profound impact his actions could have on their lives. His boys looked at him as their hero, their role model, their guiding light. For Martin, he knew it was about more than just telling his sons about the importance of health and fitness; it was about showing them.
Martin chose the Healthy Ambition program because it was not just about dramatic physical transformations, but about building a sustainable lifestyle that put health and wellness at the forefront. He wanted his sons to see that exercise wasn’t a chore, but an empowering and enjoyable part of life. He wanted them to understand that nutrition wasn’t about restriction, but about nourishing the body with good food.
As Martin progressed through the program, he found that his success was far beyond the substantial weight he lost. It was in the morning jogs he now shared with his older son. It was in the healthy meals they cooked together as a family. It was in the increased energy he had to play and engage with his boys. The Healthy Ambition program became more than a path to his personal fitness; it became a blueprint for his sons, a way for Martin to tangibly demonstrate the values of perseverance, self-care, and balance.
Martin’s story wasn’t about sculpting the perfect physique; it was about being the best role model he could be for his sons. And in choosing to prioritize his health and wellness, he achieved just that. His hero status in the eyes of his sons was not because he lost weight, but because he showed them a path to a healthier, happier life.

Why I built this program
When I embarked on my journey as a personal trainer, my focus was singularly directed towards aesthetics. My personal ambition was mirrored in my clients, achieving remarkable body transformations and earning myself a reputation as an expert in the field. But as the wheels of time spun forward, my business grew, I matured, and as life so often does, it became more complex.
This evolution led me to a deeper understanding of my clients’ experiences. I started feeling the strain of pulling 14-hour workdays, experiencing first-hand the adverse impacts of stress on digestion, skin health, mood, and body composition. I grappled with sleepless nights, waking up feeling just as fatigued as I had been when I’d retired the night before. I started to comprehend the disheartening feeling of no longer being in the shape I once was.
These experiences stirred a revelation within me. If these challenges were demanding for me, a personal trainer with access to an abundance of health and fitness information, how much more daunting must they be for those who don’t have the time or resources to sift through the sea of information to find a solution?
This empathetic perspective triggered a fundamental shift in my approach. It fueled my commitment to developing a program that acknowledges these struggles, a program designed not just to sculpt the body but to nurture overall wellbeing, enabling individuals to manage their demanding lifestyles, and more importantly, to feel like themselves again. This marked the genesis of ‘A Healthy Ambition’.
Why It Works
Throughout my years in the fitness industry, I’ve identified a persistent issue with the majority of available fitness programs. They often overlook individuals who may not be feeling their best when they decide to embark on their fitness journey. Many programs seem to mirror the coach’s personal regimen or emphasize the ‘hustle’ culture with phrases like ‘train like a beast’, implying that relentless intensity is the key to success.
However, such approaches often lead to burnout, exacerbating existing frustrations and undermining your confidence in your potential for future success. While these intense regimens may be effective when you’re at equilibrium, they fall short when you’re not. This is where ‘A Healthy Ambition’ differs.
Our program meets you wherever you are in your fitness journey. Think of it as a universal on-ramp for all your future fitness goals. Rather than jumping headlong into an overly demanding regimen, ‘A Healthy Ambition’ helps you reestablish the fundamentals, bringing you back to neutral and building a resilient foundation.
Once you’ve secured your non-negotiables—proper sleep, stress management, adequate nutrition, and a balanced workout routine—you’ve set the stage for sustainable success. With this solid foundation, there’s no limit to what you can achieve.
‘A Healthy Ambition’ isn’t just about immediate results. It’s about preparing you for lifelong fitness success, preventing burnout, and ensuring you have the tools to maintain your progress. So no matter how high you aspire to fly in your fitness journey, ‘A Healthy Ambition’ will help you get there.
