Highly recommend

Just finished 12 week plan with Shane, as a prep for individual Hyrox race, just wanted to drop few kg, improve my performance and keep my strenght, loved the simplicity of nutrition and training, easy to understand and follow without feeling overwhelmed. His knowledge is another level, helped me structure my training to improve my performance and recovery, gave plan to fix my ongoing hamstring issue for my race, haven't had issues since, improved my squat technique, regular check ins to keep consistency up, at the end dropped weight and body fat and still able to maintain physique now. Highly recommend

Weight loss , performance gain

Working with Shane has been great .
I have lost close to 7 kg whilst training for an olympic weightlifting competition without any loss in energy or strength levels .
My competition lifts exceeded anything I had done in my training block and the 7 kg weight loss had no effect on my performance .
I was given a comprehensive and easy to follow plan by Shane that covered nutrition and good habits around same .
The app is easy to use , Shane is always on hand to answer any questions and I feel that I have learned a lot about nutrition , hydration and supplementation that I can take forward with me to continue the good habits and eating patterns developed .
I would recommend anyone interested to contact Shane , he is a consummate professional and willing and able to answer any query you might have .

Weight loss and improved BJJ performance

I’m about 5 weeks in and have noticed significant results already. I was given a comprehensive and easy to follow plan by Shane that covered nutrition and strength and conditioning. I was also given a weekly training plan to follow. In this short time I have noticed improvement on the mats, my weight has dropped and I feel a lot stronger. Also injury free which is a bonus as I have a neck and neurological issue. Shane’s always on hand to answer questions and give guidance on technique and improvements.

The combat lab was very professional and very friendly.

Known I could as any question any time and not being judged was a big one for me as I feel like I can as the most stupid questions some times😂

Shane was very good, I’ll gladly come
Back to him again when prepping for a fight again that involves a weight cut.

Excellent app

Since I joined the combat lab I have noticed a increase in my athletic performance both in sport and the gym. The app has a wide range of workouts to suit any schedule and any training level, with detailed descriptions and video examples giving you all you need to get through each workout. There is also a variety of food and dietary options that helped me better understand my own nutrition. I recommend anyone who is looking to improve performance or to begin there fitness journey to get involved with Shane and the combat lab!

I became a member of the combat lab almost 2 months ago, and have notice massive improvements in my cardio and overall energy levels since then. All thanks to Shane. The app is full of information on many things such as food, nutrition , well being and many workouts with tutorial videos! Anyone struggling with their fitness or diets etc I would highly recommend reaching out to Shane and joining up. You will not look back! Top class!

I Started with Shane august 2022 and have not looked back since,
He has changed my outlook on food,nutrition and maintaining a healthy lifestyle while enjoying the journey.My goal was weight loss and I’ve lost nearly a stone and have toned up all down to his expertise and dedication,
I would highly recommend Shane he was always on hand and checking in to make sure I was doing ok and keeping on track or if I needed any advise he was there, I’m in the best shape I’ve been in years since having a baby.

Absolutely brilliant

Absolutely loving my journey so far with Shane. Top class meal plans and workouts. Shane is always open to answer any problems or questions you have about your plan. I’m a month in now so far and tbh if I didn’t have someone to check in everyday I’d usually have giving up by now due to previous efforts. So far I couldn’t be happier with my progress and feeling more confident in myself. The combat lab is top class and would recommend to anyone 💪

5 stars experience all the way!

Combat Lab was a vital tool to start my journey of losing weight. After pregnancy, I thought I would never get back on track, feel fit and eat healthily. With the Combat Lab, I have all in one place. I learned how to count calories, track my progress, and have available all the information I need to understand the process better. The app is great, and very easy to use. Shane has done a great job there. From the design of it and how the content is displayed to the quality of the information, it's a 5 stars experience all the way!

I had a tough time juggling S&C work alongside BJJ but with Shane's programming it has become so much more easier.
Cardio and strength for rolling has vastly improved, Diet is on track and generally feeling more energetic and healthy. Couldn't recommend The Combat Lab enough

A gamechanger !

I reached out to Shane earlier this year as I had my wedding coming up, I had weight to lose and wanted to feel my best on the day and going forward. Shane created a really manageable plan for me with regular check ins and I felt that I could ask for help at any point. I found the results were fantastic and I am still managing to keep it off as the plan is very life friendly. The app is really comprehensive and there is so much guidance and accountability with it. The App alongside Shane’s expertise has helped me more than anything, I feel like a different person now, I have more energy and I’m so much more comfortable in myself. I would highly recommend the combat lab and Shane to anyone looking for support with weight loss! Thanks Shane 🎉

200% Satisfied

My strength and performance has gone through the roof on and off the mats since i have started training with Combat Academy. My program makes me look forward to get up at 4am to train before work. Value for money is understatement.

Best approach I’ve experienced.

Remarkably easy plans to follow. Great education around food and how to modify your relationship with it regarding your health and well being.

Everyday realistic approaches don’t restrict you, after all there are birthdays, nights out or the unpredictable take away after an exhausting day all of which are acknowledged here. They are obtainable and measurable which is exactly what I experienced.

Shane has real skill in the most important areas which is beginning and maintaining your lifestyle changes. Go for it. Cannot recommend him enough.
