Client of the Month - Lucas Ballasy

I’d been working out diligently for a while, competing in everything from powerlifting to strongman to cycling events, but hit a point where I felt lost
At the end of the day, I just want to be the healthiest and strongest version of myself (and look good, too!)
I was part of a barbell club prior to the pandemic and loved having a coach, needed to get back to that with different goals
We welcomed our son, Mylo, and I used this as an opportunity to reset
I had to be more diligent about how I spent my time and my workouts started feeling like they had less purpose — I was finding programs online but not sure how they aligned with my goals
Nutrition-wise, I started tracking macros (again) and bulked but not properly, so I was getting bigger and adding fat.
Given my experience training and following tight nutrition protocols, I knew I had the habit and discipline to get results but was lacking a guide to help me get there.

Dialling in my routine in a way that suits my goals feels really good both in how I structure my day and diet.
Seeing how far my physique has been incredibly rewarding. Prior to getting into fitness, I felt like I could never achieve a body like this then once I did, I wasn't sure how to get there.
Becoming the family chef has been fun, too - curating meals for the week and experimenting with healthy ingredients.

Near-term is continuing to push strength and endurance in new ways, like competing in Hyrox in June.
Long-term, I want to live a long, healthy life, be able to keep up with my kids as I get older and look amazing at every stage.

Mentioned above but overall structure to my day and making health/fitness a priority.

Amazed at what's been possible in a relatively short amount of time so I'm just eager to keep pushing and can only imagine what can come out of the coming phases.

I've never been a big runner, but it's been cool to get into running and push myself. Always surprised by how much I'm able to push and excited to see what comes from Hyrox.

Very important. To me, flexibility and results only work together if you have a plan and structure to modify and make deviations work. I find that a routine actually frees me up to make other decisions and not have to remake decisions around stuff I prioritize like health and fitness.

Probably the final days leading up to end of Phase 1. It was a time to take a step back and look at how far I've come while also feeling major momentum to close things out on a high.
Also always look forward to check-ins and hearing what perspective Ashley has to offer.
