In this episode of Big Fellas Weight Loss for Men, Darren is joined by Josh Phelps from Unit Fitness to talk about why so many men struggle to stay consistent, and what actually works instead.

Josh specialises in helping busy professionals improve their health without turning their lives upside down. Together, they break down why generic plans often fail, and why your approach to fitness needs to fit your lifestyle, not fight against it.

The conversation goes beyond workouts and diets, looking at the link between mental and physical health, and how your mindset, habits, and environment all play a part in long-term success.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly starting over, this episode will help you rethink your approach and focus on building something that actually lasts.
