What If The Problem Isn’t You?
What Do You Really Want?
Want to drop 5 pounds in 3 days for your friend’s wedding?
Do a juice detox and enjoy being miserable for 72 hours.
Need to lose 20 pounds before your high school reunion?
Pick a fad diet—any fad diet. Fasting, Keto, Carnivore… and do your best to stick to the rules.
Want to lose weight fast, even if you gain it all back the second life gets busy?
Jump on a crazy workout challenge that promises a total body transformation in 30 days… and then leaves you with nothing to show for it after 60.
If any of these worked for you before… did they last?
Probably not.
Because you don’t just want a smaller body for a fleeting moment, you want to feel good, look strong, and stay healthy—for life.
And the rules and unsustainable nature of the things you’ve done before were, well… Unsustainable.
I get it though. The fitness world makes it confusing.
One expert says carbs are the devil. Another says to eat more sourdough.
Butter in coffee is the key to fat loss. No, wait—coffee stops fat loss.
Is it your blood sugar? Your hormones? Your metabolism?
It’s exhausting.
Take a deep breath and get ready to swallow the hard truth pill.
Stop looking for a shortcut. There isn’t one.
Stop chasing the “one weird trick.” It doesn’t exist.
Stop thinking there’s a solution that doesn’t involve discipline.
Find someone who lost weight and kept it off for 5+ years. Ask them their secret.
They’ll tell you:
Pay attention to what you eat
Control your portions
Cook most of your own (real) food
Eat enough to fuel your body, but not so much you store fat
Work out consistently
Be active
Don’t let 1 misstep turn into 100
And the biggest one—keep doing it
It’s proof that: Diets. Do. Not. Work.
95% of people who lose weight on a “diet” gain it back (plus some) within three years.
The only way this really “works” is to give up on the quick fixes and commit to changing who you are. I’m talking about your habits, and your identity.
This is the answer right in front of your face, but you have to be willing to accept it.
And yes, you can even enjoy the process too!
Here’s what one of Blakley’s clients said last week:
“These last 8.5 months working with Digital Barbell have been transformational for me both physically and mentally. I am stronger and more confident than ever before, and while the workouts are challenging, I don’t feel beaten down or completely depleted afterwards. The programming, Jonathan’s news headlines, and Blakley, your feedback on my workouts—I enjoy it all.
I am incredibly thankful for all that you do, and I truly appreciate your authenticity.” - Leni

P.S. - We’ve added a foldable bench to our Arsenal on the road! Our workout consistency was a little spotty for the first week and a half on the road but we’re on a roll now!
