Get Back To Health
12 Weeks of Personalised Health Coaching
A personalised health plan for your training, eating and recovery, plus the coaching, structure and accountability that keep you following it through busy weeks, travel and the things that usually derail it.
The twelve weeks are the starting point, not the whole aim. They solve the immediate problem, and they build the habits, physical capacity and resilience you need for the decades ahead.
The implementation gap
Your career has structure. Your health often doesn’t.
At work you have standards, systems, deadlines, priorities and people who hold you to account. Health tends to be left to motivation, good intentions and whatever time is left over. That is not a discipline problem, it is a structure problem. Approaching and passing 50, that gap starts to cost you more, because years of inconsistency begin to show up in what you can actually do.
You start well
The first two or three weeks go to plan. Then a heavy work period, travel, poor sleep or a family demand interrupts it and the plan quietly stops.
The plan is too complicated
An approach that assumes a quiet week rarely survives a busy one. Complexity is the first thing to fail under pressure.
Motivation is doing the heavy lifting
Relying on how you feel works until you are tired, stressed or stretched, which, for most professionals, is often.
So you start again
Each restart takes a little more from your confidence, even though you already know most of what needs to be done.
Why the gap matters more now
In your thirties, an inconsistent year cost you very little. From your late forties onwards the arithmetic changes. Strength and muscle need deliberate protection, cardiovascular fitness increasingly decides your energy and stamina, recovery needs more attention than it used to, body composition becomes harder to manage, and an injury or a niggle carries bigger consequences for longer.
None of that is about appearance. It shows up in capability, energy, independence, hobbies, travel, family life and how well you perform at work. Your health shouldn't become the price you pay for professional success.
How much of the person you are today can you take with you into your 60s, 70s and beyond?
Meet Chris Deavin
Turning good intentions into consistent action, after 50.
For more than 25 years, I've helped busy professionals, business owners and leaders become stronger, fitter and healthier without relying on extreme diets, complicated plans or motivation alone. My approach combines the physical side of health, covering strength, cardiovascular fitness, nutrition and recovery, with the habits, mindset, structure and accountability needed to actually follow through. Because knowing what to do is rarely the real problem. Doing it consistently is.
How the coaching works
What to do, and actually doing it
Two methods sit inside Get Back To Health. PerformanceSpan identifies what you need to protect and improve as you age. W.I.S.D.O.M. develops how you consistently make it happen in the real world. They are not separate coaching products.
PerformanceSpan — what to protect and improve
The four areas that decide how strong, fit, capable and energetic you remain, so you can keep performing at a high level in work, travel, sport, family, hobbies and everyday life for as long as possible.
Strength and muscle
Maintaining and building strength and muscle to protect capability as you age.
Cardiovascular fitness
Building the aerobic capacity that supports energy, endurance and everyday activity.
Nutrition
Eating in a way that supports training, energy and body composition, and that fits your life.
Recovery and sleep
Managing sleep, stress and recovery so effort produces progress rather than fatigue.
W.I.S.D.O.M. — how you make it happen
Six foundations behind lasting change, and what is actually stopping you doing consistently what you already know, not for twelve weeks but for the next twenty, thirty or forty years.
- W
Willingness — Are you genuinely willing to make the changes and accept the temporary discomfort your goal requires?
- I
Identity — Do your beliefs, standards and everyday decisions reflect the healthy, fit and strong person you want to become?
- S
Simplicity — Is your current approach realistic and simple enough to follow consistently?
- D
Design — Have you designed your schedule, routines and environment to support your goals?
- O
Overcome — Can you respond constructively to stress, disruption, obstacles and setbacks?
- M
Mindset — Does your thinking help you continue, or give you reasons to stop when change becomes difficult?
How the twelve weeks run
Assess
Understand your current behaviours, barriers and starting point.
Plan
Build a personalised nutrition, exercise and lifestyle strategy that fits your schedule and commitments.
Act
Work to clear daily and weekly actions, with accountability so follow-through does not rely on motivation.
Adapt
Review progress, solve the obstacles that appear and refine the plan as life changes.

Who it is for
Built for capable, busy people over 50
This is likely a good fit if you
- Are a professional, business owner or leader, typically 50 or over.
- Are successful and capable at work but inconsistent with your health.
- Are tired of the stop-start cycle and starting again each year.
- Want structure and accountability rather than more information.
- Are willing to make practical changes that fit your real life.
It is probably not for you if you
- Are looking for a quick fix or a short-term transformation.
- Want an extreme plan that ignores work, family and travel.
- Prefer a passive solution rather than being involved in the process.
