48 men have reached their target body with me

Your body is an amanah, so let's get it strong and lean, without diets and without giving up the food you love.

As salamu alaikum. I'm Jeremy, a Swiss revert living in Sharjah, and I coach Muslim men one to one. I build you a structure that fits around your salah, your work and your family instead of turning your life upside down, and I keep working with you until your goal is reached, bi idhnillah, even if it takes longer than we planned.

The coaching is one to one only. There's no group, no off the shelf programme, and no app that replaces talking to me.

The call is free and commits you to nothing, it takes about twenty minutes, and I look at every application myself.

NameJob or city

Every man here started somewhere he wasn't proud of. That part is normal, and it isn't the part that decides anything.

Why you're here

One of these two sentences has probably already gone through your head.

"I don't have the energy I need any more."

Heavy at fajr, out of breath on the stairs, and by the time you get home there's nothing left for your wife and your children. The work still gets done, but everything after it gets whatever is left over, and lately that isn't much.

"This body was given to me, and I'm not looking after it."

It isn't really about a mirror. You know you'll be asked about this body and what you did with it, and if you're honest, the answer you'd have to give right now isn't one you want to give.

Both are good reasons to keep reading, and in both cases the problem is not your discipline. You pray five times a day and you fast thirty days a year, so you've already proved you can hold a line that other people can't.

فَإِنَّ لِجَسَدِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا، وَإِنَّ لِعَيْنِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا، وَإِنَّ لِزَوْجِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا

"Your body has a right over you, your eyes have a right over you, and your wife has a right over you."

Sahih al-Bukhari 5199. Said to Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As, who was fasting every day and praying the whole night, and was told to do what he could keep up instead.

Why it hasn't worked so far

Diets run on willpower, and by maghrib yours is gone.

Every ordinary diet works the same way. It asks you to decide, fresh every single day, against whatever you actually feel like doing. That holds for a few days while your head is still clear. After a twelve hour day of work, decisions and other people's problems, the exact resource that system runs on is empty, and it is empty at the worst possible hour.

So when it falls apart again, that isn't a flaw in your character and it isn't a sign that you lack discipline. It's the predictable result of loading the wrong resource.

You already have proof of this, once a year. In Ramadan you eat well for thirty days, you feel lighter, and you tell yourself that this time it stays. Then the structure is taken away again, and by the second week of Shawwal you're back where you were. Nothing about you changed in those two weeks. What changed is that the structure stopped holding you.

Binge eating, a lot of sweets, and those blunt diets that work for two or three weeks and then end in the yo-yo effect.David Gratzer, review on Trustpilot
Two days of going through with it, then one stressful day, and it was all forgotten again.Lukas Köchl, interview on YouTube

What's missing isn't another plan. It's a structure that still holds on the day everything goes wrong.

The method

Four principles we work by from the first day.

01

A change, not a diet

We don't run a diet with a start date and an end date. We change how you see food, how your week is built, and what you do without thinking. What you learn in the process stays with you long after we stop working together.

02

Structure and systems

We rebuild your day so that the right decision is the easy one and the wrong one takes effort. Your day already has five fixed points in it that you never miss, and we build the rest around them, so the daily fight with yourself simply stops happening.

03

Routine builds your future

What costs you discipline in the first weeks turns into habit through repetition. After a while your training sits in the week the way your prayers already do, and you stop asking yourself every afternoon whether you're going today.

04

Discipline gets easier

You don't need to be as disciplined as you think. I build the programme so that it fits the life you already have, and I'm there to make sure you actually do it, especially in the weeks when you don't feel like it.

Talk through my plan What these four principles look like for you specifically is what the call is for.
Principle two, in practice

What a structure looks like when it stops you fighting yourself every day.

Structure sounds abstract and is extremely concrete in practice. It's a handful of small decisions you make once and then never have to make again. These are the things we build together, around your calendar, your household and what you actually like to eat.

With small adjustments from Jeremy I sleep much better, my watch showed full marks for the first time, and I have more energy during the day.David Gratzer, review on Trustpilot
What you don't have to do

I'm not taking anything away from you that you don't want to give up.

You will not count calories with me and you won't weigh yourself every morning.

You won't get a prescribed meal plan to work through.

You won't cut out carbohydrates or any other food group.

And the food you actually eat stays, because rice, bread and what your mother cooks have a place in your plan.

You also won't be handed a Western diet that ignores how you eat. If most of your meals are shared, late, and at the table with your family, that's the situation we build around, not a problem to be fixed.

وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا وَلَا تُسْرِفُوا ۚ إِنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُسْرِفِينَ

"Eat and drink, and do not be excessive. Indeed, He does not love those who are excessive."

Part of Surah al-A'raf, 7:31.

The biggest difference is that with all those diets you turn your whole way of eating upside down, completely different from what you ate before. In the coaching you look at the eating you already do in your daily life, and improve it step by step. That makes it much easier to keep.From a client interview
What to expect

From the first blood panel to the point where you don't need me any more.

How we start

Before anything begins, you take stock. That means a blood panel, and I tell you exactly which values I need so you can have it done by a doctor of your choice, plus a body composition measurement, which you do at your gym or at a provider near you.

Out of that data I build your personal roadmap, and we go through it together in its own session before you do a single training session. From the first day you know where you stand, what we're working towards, and how we'll tell along the way whether it's working.

What impressed me most was that it wasn't only my weight that improved, but my health overall. My blood values at the doctor got noticeably better.Lukas, review on Trustpilot

And how it goes from there

01

Onboarding, two weeks

Taking stock, setting up the app, and going through your roadmap together.

02

Acceleration, two months

Close guidance, the foundations of eating, and the first adjustments to your week.

03

Mastery

Continuous adjustment to your life, to travel, to Ramadan, and to the stretches where work takes everything.

04

On your own

Your routines keep running without me, because by then you understand why you do what you do.

Start with taking stock The first step is the call, the blood panel and the measurement come after it.
Results

Men with full calendars who did it for the last time.

9.5 kg in two months

"As a managing director there's little time left to look after your own shape."

A full calendar, meetings and business dinners. Pascal had already tried apps and various challenges, and nothing held. After two months, 9.5 kilograms were gone, without him having to rearrange his life.

Pascal FreudenreichCEO and founder, Carbon-Connect AG
19 kg of fat down, 5 kg of muscle up

"I've trained for ten years, but on my own I never got there."

Between work and everything else, Lukas kept falling back into the same pattern. He had nobody to answer to except himself. Today he is stronger than he has ever been.

Lukas KöchlSelf-employed
10 kg, without going hungry

"At some point the weight just crept on."

Little time, a stressful week, and too much comfort after work. André lost ten kilograms without going hungry once and without giving up anything he enjoys eating.

What's in the coaching

What you get, and how often you can reach me.

What made the difference for me was the feeling that somebody is behind me, somebody I can message basically around the clock.David Gratzer, review on Trustpilot
My commitment

I work with you until your goal is reached.

If we don't reach your goal inside the agreed timeframe, I keep working with you at no further cost until we do, in sha Allah.

We set your goal together, measurable and with a timeframe, and it's written into your contract. I don't put that in writing because it sells well, but because I don't hand over half-finished work. If you decide to do this with me, I carry part of the risk with you.

What I need from you in return

You check in daily in the app, and it takes thirty seconds. That's the only way I can see how things are going between our sessions and step in before a bad day turns into a bad week. Forgetting a day doesn't cost you anything. Going quiet for days or weeks without telling me does, because then I can't stand behind the outcome.

The commitment is part of the coaching and is set out in the contract. The details are in the terms.

What might still be holding you back

Five thoughts I hear almost every week.

"My deen is the priority. My body isn't."

Your deen is the priority, and nothing here competes with it. The question is what condition you're in while you carry it. Standing in qiyam, fasting outside Ramadan, walking to the masjid, travelling for umrah, carrying your children, working long enough to provide, all of it runs on a body, and yours is getting worse at it every year you leave it.

الْمُؤْمِنُ الْقَوِيُّ خَيْرٌ وَأَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِ الضَّعِيفِ، وَفِي كُلٍّ خَيْرٌ

"The strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, and in both there is good."

Sahih Muslim 2664. The scholars explain this strength first of all as strength of iman and resolve, with the body included rather than being the point. I'm not going to pretend it's a verse about the gym, and it doesn't need to be.

So nobody is asking you to put your body before your deen. The point is the opposite, that a body you've neglected quietly takes things away from you, and most of what it takes are things you care about far more than your waistline.

"I can do this on my own."

You probably can, because you've done harder things than this. The question is when you'll get to it, and whether you'll keep it this time. Most of my clients had already done it alone two or three times before me, and lost it again afterwards.

And if I don't hear from you for a week, you won't get an inspirational quote from me. You'll get told off, and that's exactly what you're paying me for.

Pushing yourself on your own is always harder than having a person standing behind you.Malte, from a client interview

"I could just use AI for this."

You're right, you don't need me for a training plan. You'll get one in thirty seconds and it'll be decent. But the plan was never your problem. You've had several of them over the last few years, and you're still reading this page today.

What's been missing is somebody who notices on Monday that you haven't checked in since Thursday, and then asks, instead of waiting for you to come back on your own. Software always waits, because it doesn't want anything from you and it doesn't mind whether you arrive.

I ask because my name is attached to whether you get there, and because I've put in writing that I'll keep working with you for free if we need longer than planned. No software carries risk, so no software will ever give you that.

"I'll just join a gym."

Do that, you need one anyway. But the membership is rarely what was missing, because over ninety per cent of my clients already had one before they came to me. And if the gyms near you are mixed and you'd rather not train in them, say so on the call, because that changes the plan and not the outcome.

I'd already been in the gym for a year, but I was unhappy with my body. I built more fat than muscle, had no real training plan, and just ate whatever was there.Leo Sträuli, review on Trustpilot

"It's not worth it for me."

I can't answer that from here, and I don't want to. That's exactly why the first call is free. On it you find out what I'd actually do for you and what it costs, and then you decide in your own time. If I see during the call that I can't help you, I'll tell you.

It takes about twenty minutes, it costs you nothing, and it commits you to nothing.

Jeremy Wiederkehr
About me

I competed, and then I left it for the sake of Allah.

I grew up in Switzerland and I wasn't raised Muslim. I took my shahadah at fifteen, and three years later I left the country I was born in and made hijra to the Emirates, where I got married and where I live today, in Sharjah.

Before that, training was the whole thing. I started because I couldn't stand what I saw in the mirror, and that turned into an obsession that took me onto an international stage, as vice-champion in natural bodybuilding and champion in the biceps curl. Then I understood what that stage actually required of me, and I stopped competing. Not because I stopped loving the work, but because it wasn't mine to put on display.

What stayed is the knowledge. I know what it takes to change a body down to the last detail, and I know from the inside what it costs a man to keep something up for years. Today I use that one to one with men who want their body to stop being the weak point in a life that is otherwise going in the right direction.

Is this for you?

Who this coaching is for, and who it isn't for.

It fits if

  • you're a man with a full week and real responsibilities.
  • you've started and stopped more than once already.
  • you don't want a new life, you want a structure that fits the one you have.
  • you're ready to invest in yourself.

It doesn't fit if

  • you're looking for a shortcut that costs you nothing.
  • you want to lose ten kilograms in four weeks.
  • you don't want to talk honestly about how you actually live.
  • you can't spare thirty seconds a day for a check-in.

I coach men only, and for me that isn't a marketing decision.

This sounds like me On the call we work out together whether I can actually help you.
How it works

Four steps before we start.

  1. Step 1

    You fill in the application

    It takes about three minutes. Since I only take on five new clients a month, I read every application myself.

  2. Step 2

    I get in touch with you personally

    We speak briefly about your situation and your goal, and work out whether and how I can help.

  3. Step 3

    We have the free call

    You come out of it with a clear strategy built around your situation, whether or not we end up working together.

  4. Step 4

    We decide together

    If it fits, we book the onboarding session right there. If it doesn't, I'll say so honestly. Nobody gets talked into anything with me.

Common questions

What I get asked most often.

"How does this work around the prayers?"
It works because of them, not around them. Five fixed points in the day are exactly what a structure needs, so your meals hang on them and your training slot sits where it doesn't collide with jama'ah. Most men come to me thinking their day is too fragmented for this. It's the opposite, your day is already more organised than my other clients' days.
"What about Ramadan?"
We plan for it before it arrives instead of reacting to it. Training moves to after iftar or before suhoor depending on your work, the volume comes down, protein and sleep get protected, and the goal for the month is holding what you built rather than pushing forward. Most men lose a chunk of their progress every Ramadan and then spend Shawwal getting it back. That cycle is avoidable.
"Is the food halal, and do I have to eat differently from my family?"
Nothing in your plan will be anything you wouldn't eat anyway. You eat what your household eats, cooked the way it's already cooked, and we adjust amounts, timing and the balance of the plate. If you're in a country where the options are limited, that's part of what we solve.
"I don't train in mixed gyms. Does that rule me out?"
No. Plenty of my clients train at home or in men-only facilities. Tell me on the call what's available to you and the plan gets built for that. Equipment changes the route, it doesn't change where you end up.
"How much time do I need each week?"
It depends on your goal, and we build the plan around your calendar rather than the other way round. Typically that's three to four training sessions a week, one of my clients manages it alongside eight or nine hours a day in an office. On top of that, thirty seconds a day for your check-in.
"What does the coaching cost?"
It depends on your goal and on the scope, so I give you the number on the first call once I know what you actually need. Any number before that would be a guess. The call itself costs you nothing and commits you to nothing. There is no interest on anything, in any arrangement.
"Do I need a gym, or does this work at home?"
Both work. If you don't have a gym or don't want one, I build you a plan for home. And even if you normally train at a gym, you get a home version so that one missed evening doesn't take the whole week with it.
"Do I have to count calories or weigh my food?"
No. You photograph your meals and we go through them together. If you prefer to count, you can, but it is explicitly not necessary.
"I travel a lot. Does it still work?"
Yes, that's exactly what the programme is built for. You get training plans for a hotel room, help with eating while you're away, and adjusted sessions for the weeks where there's less time. The same applies for umrah.
"What happens if I get injured?"
Then you get a plan that works around the injury. One of my clients broke his foot and kept building muscle with a home programme.
"How long until I reach my goal?"
It depends on where you're starting and what you want, and we set the timeframe together in the contract. If we need longer, I keep working with you at no further cost until it's reached, in sha Allah.
"I'm over fifty. Am I too old?"
No. Mario was fifty-five when he started with me and lost nine kilograms in six weeks. Age changes the strategy, not the result.
"When can I start?"
I take on five new clients a month, because I coach every one of them myself. If a place in the current month is still open when we speak, we start straight away. If they're taken, we plan your start for the following month and fix the date on the call.
"What happens on the free call?"
We speak for about twenty minutes about your situation, what you've already tried, and your goal. Afterwards you know what a path for you would look like. There's no pressure and no persuasion, and if I can't help you, I'll tell you.
"Do you coach women?"
No, I work with men only.
"What if I don't reach my goal?"
Then we keep going without you paying again. That's the core of my commitment and it's written into your contract.

Let's speak for twenty minutes.

I take on five new clients a month, because I coach every single one of them myself and hand nobody over to a team. Once those places are gone, and they usually go before the end of the month, you start the month after. We fix that date together on the call.

If you've read this far, this hasn't been on your mind since today. The first step costs you nothing except an appointment in your calendar.
