Getting Started

OBL is extremely personalised. We work with you 1:1 on a weekly basis, and we do not treat you as a number.

Not only will we get you to your goals, we put a giant emphasis on education. We want to teach you how to reach your goals so you can keep them for life. No generic plan and a check-in form, no. This is a very personalised, human-to-human complete coaching service. More than just nutrition and training.

You'll also have the confidence you're doing it the right way. Whole foods, education and real personalisation. No results that last a month before you're back where you started. Long lasting results are our emphasis.

Simply fill in an enquiry form on the website and we'll be in touch the very next business day. From there we'll jump on a quick, free call to learn about you and your goals, then book in your initial consultation.

OBL is based in Melbourne, Australia, and coaching is delivered online, so you can work with us from anywhere in the world. Everything is done through real human-to-human calls and check-ins, no faceless forms.

No prior experience is necessary. Our programs are designed individually for each client, which means we work with all fitness and experience levels, from stay-at-home mums to professional athletes.

If you're on the training and nutrition package you'll need some weights or a gym, but we customise it around you. So if you only have an at-home gym, or even just a pull-up bar and a set of dumbbells, we'll tailor it to you.

Yes, absolutely. I love helping people take their first steps in their health and fitness journey. It's one of my favourite types of people to work with. We have a system that works. Small steps to a better you.

Coaching & Plans

We offer Training Only ($40/week), Nutrition Coaching ($60/week), Nutrition + Training ($80/week), and Fight Camp (custom quote for athletes). You can see the full breakdown on the Packages page.

No. OBL is nutrition-first, and plenty of clients get incredible results on nutrition coaching alone. Some have lost 15kg, 20kg+ without going to the gym once. Training absolutely helps, and for some goals it is necessary, which is why we offer combined and training-only options too, but it's not a requirement.

Yes, absolutely, and the protocol changes depending on the sport. Hyrox, tennis, boxing, jiu-jitsu, MMA, marathons, we've worked with people across all of these sports. We can structure your meals for training camps or prepare you for a big race and fuel you correctly, while also educating you so you know exactly what to do yourself.

Nutrition & Meal Plans

Every meal plan we make is created and personalised to the individual. No two meal plans are the same. We don't just send you a form to fill out, we get you in an initial consultation and regular calls to really dive deep into what you like.

You'll be asked each fortnight to update us on any of your preferences and/or budget considerations. The development of your meal plans is a collaborative effort to ensure you always receive personalised plans suited to you and your goals.

Absolutely. You'll both sign up, and we can align your plans so the groceries and meal prep are easy to do together. Portion sizes and some ingredients may differ slightly to suit each of your goals and energy needs. We also offer a discount on couple coaching plans, just leave your details and we'll answer all your questions when we contact you.

Check-Ins & Support

You'll have fortnightly 15-30 minute calls with your coach plus weekly check-ins to review your progress and adjust your plan, on top of 24/7 direct coach access whenever you need it. The fortnightly calls are not just a check-in, these are built for education and true personalisation. We are in your pocket every step of the way. OBL is very personalised, you are not a number. We cap the amount of clients we will work with at one time to assure this.

Not just a check-in call. We use this time to really dive into different topics of nutrition and performance. I'm a big believer in the saying: "Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach a man to fish and he eats for life."

I'm not only going to adjust your plan and talk about how to set up your next fortnight for success, I'm also going to use this time to educate you on the important topics. This is much more than a check-in call.

You can message your coach directly. Questions get answered fast, so you've always got support when you need it, not just on call days. In your pocket every step of the way. We make the journey easier for you and help you with any real world speed bumps.

Payments & Billing

Coaching is billed as a simple recurring weekly payment powered by Stripe, handled securely online. There's no big upfront lump sum, you pay week to week for as long as you're coaching with us. All priced in AUD, GST inclusive.

Yes, the first 12 weeks are a locked block, for two reasons. First, it covers paying off everything that goes into getting you set up: your plans, your initial consultation, your calls and more. So you can't receive all our work and then ghost us a week later and leave us out of pocket. Second, it keeps you accountable during that time. Knowing you're paying it all off is a strong accountability tool. You pay everything off while we coach you and make regular changes to your plans.

After the first 12 week block, you can cancel anytime you like, with no hidden fees at all.

No hidden costs. The weekly price for your package is exactly what you pay, all priced in AUD and GST inclusive. After your first block you can cancel anytime you like, with no hidden costs at all.
