Jonny started RT Fitness with one mission — get in shape for a trip to Las Vegas in three months.
At 85.2kg, he knew he had work to do — but he also wanted to enjoy the process, not just grind through it.
The Challenge
Jonny had tried to bulk and cut before, aiming to go into this shred round a bit bigger.
But like many, he found himself stuck in the middle — starting heavier but unsure if it had really made a difference. Despite doubts, he stuck to the plan.
Why He Nearly Didn't Start
Jonny isn’t a fan of the scales.
Weekly weigh-ins aren’t his thing, and seeing slow progress in the past left him feeling frustrated. But this time, he had accountability — and that changed everything.
The Turning Point
With check-ins, structure, and support from the Barbell Club team, Jonny managed his deficit better than ever.
He had more energy, the whole process felt more comfortable, and he finished the 12 weeks proud of what he’d achieved — both mentally and physically.
The Results
In just 12 weeks, Jonny achieved:
✅ Lost 12.8kg (from 85.2kg to 72.4kg)
✅ Improved energy and mood throughout the cut
✅ Gained confidence heading into his Vegas trip
✅ Found the right balance of push, progress, and community
Here’s what he had to say:
“It’s not a gym full of meatheads and string vests — it’s people who don’t know what they’re doing, joining other people who don’t know what they’re doing. We get told how to do it and we learn together.”
