Welcome

Welcome to the new look information and registration page for Flexible Fueling Online Coaching.

 

It's my 15th year since launching my Personal Training business, and my 7th year since escaping the city to build my own private gym at my seaside cottage.

 

It's a new look website as we relaunch for the post-lockdown era, with a new and improved app based delivery system for the training programs and exercise instruction, which syncs to your myfitnesspal, fitbit, and other apps and devices. You can click the icons above for a preview.

 

My training and nutrition strategies were already the best, but they're still evolving and improving too!

This Is Different

Flexible Fueling  is all about productive training, and being fueled for results that are permanent and sustainable. It is all about getting out of that destructive cycle of restrictive and extreme crash dieting, and enriching your life through enjoying a passionate interest in training, producing great results, and also enjoying a healthy appetite and a healthy relationship with food and eating.

 

Unlike other so called IIFYM, Flexible Dieting or macros based approaches... it is not just about establishing a deficit and being expected to slash further and further until you are famished and miserable.

 

You probably already know that that style of  garbage doesn't work! Check the How It Works tab for the full run down of... well, how it actually works!

Who Is This For?

As you'll see in the gallery below, I coach women who want to train seriously and be taken seriously.

Flexible Fueling is for people of any ability level who want to learn an effective approach to strength based training, in the gym or at home.

 

If you're a serious enthusiast or a competitive athlete, you need to be fueled adequately and then build the confidence to increase to more optimal, higher levels of energy intake. You need not to be on a restrictive, low calorie diet and afraid to enjoy suitable meals.

 

If you're a new enthusiast just looking to get started, the same is true!

 

If you're an educated health professional or other knowledgeable person who wants fitness coaching without any of the usual nutritional bollocks, you've come to the right place too!

Hi! I'm Dave Hargreaves, maybe you've heard of me?

 

Believe it or not, I've been doing this for over 12 years, in person at Doherty's Gym, Reps Gym, and Victory Fitness, as well as online with clients all around  the world, since before "online coaching" was really a thing. I achieved peak notoriety circa late 2014 when I created the "Blocked By Pete Evans" page to address the proliferation of quackery and orthorexia in the fitness industry and mainstream society in general.

 

Just under 5 years ago I "sort of semi-retired" to Wilson's Promontory, and now I just coach a small number of people in my private gym, and a small number of people online. At this stage of my life I'd rather be tending to my strawberry plants, befriending the lizards in my garden, or out enjoying the local scenery than "grinding" to be be a full time content creator, or "hustling" to sell 100 programs a week or something, you dig?

 

For as long as I've been doing this, I've seen a lot of people and a lot of fads come and go.

 

From clean eating and green smoothies, to paleo and low carb, to keto, and whatever else in between and along the way. For all of that time I've just been doing the same thing, which seems to have finally come into vogue with some of the new generation of trainers and coaches over the past 2 or 3 years.

That is... a macros based approach to Sports Nutrition, with a focus on being well fueled to perform at your best and enjoy the best quality of life, rather than a focus on restriction and "being in deficit" to starve yourself thin, with no tricks, no gimmicks, and no high pressure sales tactics.

 

Those photos to the right were taken roughly 5 years apart, so... practicing what I preach seems to have worked out better for me than the people jumping on and off all of those fads I mentioned above, and it will for you too!

 

Start now with Enable, and join us for the social chat this weekend!
