On today's episode of RNT Fitness Radio, we're talking about the Messy Middle and the Identity Gap that happens after you lose weight. Most people get lost after they get into the best shape of their life. They don't know how to turn "shape of life" to "shape for life." This episode talks about where people get caught up in the Messy Middle and how to break out of it and avoid years and years of spinning their wheels… and never getting to the body and lifestyle they truly want. If your goal in 2026 is to break into the Reward Phase, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I'm joined by RNTer Raghu Kumar, an entrepreneur and CEO who at the age of 40, dropped 40lbs to get into the best shape of his life this year. Raghu has since inspired members of his family and his fiance to also join him on the journey. What's cool is he's inspiring his children, a better decision maker at work, and his resting heart rate has gone from 65 down to 47. He's fitter now at 40 than he was in his 20s. A really cool thing he shares is how his company has had a direct correlation in revenue growth since his RNT journey has begun. So in the truest sense…using a physical transformation as a vehicle to take everything in his life to the next level!

On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I'm joined by Manika Singh, who at the start of the year joined RNT after seeing her 3 siblings go through this journey and experience life-changing results.

Manika shares a raw account of how after two pregnancies she was at an all-time high of 80 kilos feeling low on energy, not her best, and wanting to make massive changes. With the help of her siblings, she made some initial lifestyle changes... and then joined RNT in January this year and recently completed a photo shoot at 50 kilos.

In this episode, she shares the 3 exact systems she's using to build a sustainable lifestyle solution despite working 12 hours a day, raising two kids, and juggling all the realities of modern day life. She also shares some of the habits she didn't realize she was doing on a daily basis until she joined RNT.

This is a really insightful account of the transformation that happens when you go on this journey.
