The Crisis

The Weight

· At His Heaviest ·

120

Kilos

Three decades in advertising. Boardrooms, late nights, hustle culture. The kind of success that quietly breaks you.

“What hurt more than the weight was the feeling that the best version of me was already behind me.”

— Robin Carruthers

Late nights, alcohol, cigarettes, food for sport. The slow-motion wreckage that an industry built on stress and creativity quietly accepts as normal.

The Transformation · 7-8 Months

The Forge

One simple decision: show up. No magic plan. No shortcuts. Just a gym, a barbell, and the slow arithmetic of consistency.

“The transformation didn't happen overnight. It came from showing up consistently, even on the days motivation disappeared.”

The Discipline · The Manifesto

I Am A Warrior

My choices are seen as extreme.

My ability at times defying nature.

Yet my life is characterised

by near constant disappointment

in my efforts to build a foundation for later success.

For me Iron is a religion

and I am defined by its teachings.

It teaches humility and patience

and focus and power and brotherhood.

I am prepared to never quit,

to never say "I can't do it."

I am prepared to win —

because that is what will define

me being better tomorrow than I was today.

Some heroes live on screen.
Very few inspire the man you become off it.

Meeting Sylvester Stallone was a full-circle moment — from watching Rocky as a young dreamer to standing beside the man who taught an entire generation what grit looks like.

I came in looking for a quick fix. Robin showed me transformation is a process, not an event. Two years later, I'm stronger, leaner, and more disciplined than I thought possible.

From 120 to 78: How I Rebuilt My Body After 40 (and Why "It's Too Late" Is a Myth)

Hi, I'm Robin. For almost 30 years, I worked in advertising. If you know that world, you know the lifestyle that often comes with it: late hours, high stress, constant socializing, and a version of "living" that looks fun from the outside...

“Friends may come and go but 200 pounds will always be 200 pounds.”

Not a saying — a philosophy. Some things in life are constant. Your commitment defines who you become. The weights will always be there. Will you?

My workday starts before your alarm and ends after your motivation disappears. I rearrange my life around your schedule. Early mornings. Late nights. Because flexibility is part of the job...
