Why Crude Fitness?

My Name is Clint and I reside in Sydney, Australia. Ive been living and breathing fitness and training for over 13 years.

Why am I doing this?

It felt the right time to impart some of my experience.

I’ve absorbed a fair amount of knowledge and have built myself from an over-weight, self-conscious twenty something, into the person I am today. This site is an on-going informational resource which is experience based and aims to continually debunk some of the myths that are always floating around.

How I began

Back in 2001, I received a comment down at the pub from some mates of mine as I was scoring a game of Darts. ‘Hey Clint, nice man-boobs’.

Me in June, 2012

That’s all it took

You forget how far you can let yourself slide when you’re a teenager. Going out four times a week, even on ‘school nights’, I was hammering my system with alcohol and poor food choices.’ There is a phase that you go through where no matter what you eat or drink, you don’t seem to get fat. Suddenly, your metabolism slows down and your body goes ‘hang on a minute’.

It ‘s this realisation, which potentially saved my life. Its your body’s way of telling you that you are punishing it and that you need to stop.
I began training like a mofo and shedding all the fat from my body (which took a LONG time as I didn’t really know what I was doing).

Fast Forward to today

I am now constantly floating under 10% body fat year round and feel happy and strong all of the time. What you learn as you get more and more experienced is that you can do things in a more efficient manner as time goes on. If only I knew then what I do now, I could have spent half the time in the gym for the same if not better results.

This is me about 6 months after I first started training in 2001.

Why listen to me?

Ive been training and trialing hundreds of methods and found that most of them will help you reach your goals in a ‘round-about’ kind of way. I’ve learnt the hard way, so now im ready to share my knowledge with anyone who’ll listen.

Do I have proof to back it up?

Hopefully, my progress pictures and methods will show you that I practise what I preach. I wanted to show you the REAL DEAL. I’m no fitness model or greek Adonis, but I think you’ll find that there is definitely a happy medium, and I aim to prove this on a regular basis.

Here’s what others are saying

Brenda Kneifel - Reveal The Steel Testimonial

“As a personal trainer, I have seen just about every weight loss method on the market. Unfortunately, they always end the same way: the workout and/or the diet is simply too hard to stick with long term and results don’t come quick enough. What I LOVE about Reveal the Steel is that it is a program that finally shows you how to have a life AND have the body you want! Clint is candid, real, and hell-bent on getting you to where you want to be. You won’t be disappointed…promise!”

Harley Tesoriero - Reveal The Steel Testimonial

“After Christmas last year I lost my motivation to train and became fat and skinny at the same time. I’ve been a Crude Fitness reader since the beginning, so when Clint asked if I would trial his Reveal The Steel program, I jumped at the chance, to get back in the game and do something that I love. The program is easy to follow, and the no bullsh*t approach is very refreshing. I’m getting to the end of the first stage of the training and my strength has gone through the roof! I am also feeling much happier with my body as the muscle definition is showing through and stubborn areas are being less stubborn. I’ve still got 8 weeks to go and I can’t wait to get to the end. I highly recommend Clint’s training principles and diet, even though it goes against the grain.”
