Before you start

Answer for how things are today. Runs in your browser. Nothing is sent.

Space

Do you have a spot where you can lie down and stretch your arms out?

Is that spot free at the time you plan to train?

Do you have a mat or cloth to train on?

Time

Have you picked a time of day to train that avoids the worst of the heat?

Does that time fit around your working day?

Have you chosen the day you will start?

Can you find a few minutes each day for the check-in?

Food

Can you get the local staples used in the daily meals?

Do you know who will cook the daily meal?

Have you set aside money for the market shopping?

Does your household know what you will be eating?

Phone and people

Does WhatsApp work reliably on your phone?

Do you have enough data for 14 days of group messages?

Is someone you know doing the challenge with you?

Have you told someone who will ask how it is going?

Answer the questions to see your score. It updates as you go.

Method: yes scores a question in full, partly scores half and no scores nothing. Each is weighted from one to three by how much it affects whether you can do the daily workout and meal, and the score is the weighted share out of 100. Unanswered questions are left out.

Built for the room, the food and the heat you have

A training and nutrition programme made from the actual context, delivered on the platform people already use.

No gym required

Bodyweight and minimal-equipment progressions that work in a compound or a small room.

Scheduled around the heat

Training is scheduled around the heat and around the working day.

Local food, real portions

Nutrition built on local staples with real portions: banku, waakye, kontomire and groundnut soup, at market prices.

On WhatsApp

Everything is delivered through WhatsApp, so there is no app to install.

A coach and a cohort

A coach, a daily check-in and a cohort of people training alongside you.

Paid by mobile money

Pay by mobile money, because cards are not the norm.

The problem

Most fitness content assumes a gym, imported foods and cold weather.

A programme telling someone in Accra to eat oats and chicken breast and train in a commercial gym is useless and quietly alienating, so people start, fail, and conclude fitness is not for them.

Who it is for

  • Ghanaians and West Africans

    People aged 18 to 40 in Accra, Kumasi and Lagos who want to get strong without a gym or imported food.

  • The diaspora

    West Africans abroad who want a programme built around the food and the life they know, priced in dollars.
