Ready to sustain the fitness change you want?
Tired of losing a few grams, and then putting on much more?
Hi, I'm John Lim, the CEO of Gutenhag. Recently, I made an embarrassing discovery.
Despite training 5 times/week and having coaches, my physique never changed.
For 4 years, I had been training under fitness coaches, and going to the gym 5 days a week.
Yet my weight remained stubbornly stuck on 60kg. Every single year. Despite torturing myself with squats, bench presses, and deadlifts 5 times a week, I saw no sign of a 6-pack.
Only my family pack peeked out under my shirt.
Then came September 2019. Dealing with a painful loss in my life, I let my fitness go. I ate everything I could get my hands on. Whole bars of chocolates. In one sitting.
Within a month, I grew by 8kg.
I became fat, unfit, and unmotivated to change.
To my credit, I tried. I asked Nicholas, a fitness coach, to help me.
I tracked my calories, traced my workouts, and did everything I could.
The weight stayed.
Then came COVID. Lockdown in April 2020.
With nothing to do, I exercised everyday. I ate in a more disciplined manner.
By Aug 2020, I was 54kg.
A loss of 14kg in 4 months.
My discovery?
In fitness, it’s not about what you do, but what you don’t do.
Do you want to be fit, and stay fit?
Stupid question... of course you do.
But despite trying everything you can, you find that nothing seems to work permanently. In a few months, you're back where you started. A new year comes, you set new resolutions, and then...
You know what happens.
You try the latest fitness fad. Spin classes. Body pump. High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT).
You follow the latest food and diet advice. Avocado shakes. Protein powder. Intermittent fasting.
So what are your options to stay fit and fab?
Are these your options?
Pay for an overpriced gym.
But the money you pay does not help you to get out of the door, or even help you with your weight in the times you're out of the gym.
Pay for a trainer.
But your trainer can only give you a list of exercises, correct your form, and then leave you after a few sessions.
Buy an online course/app.
But your app is not going to help you get the commitment to even exercise... does it?
Now imagine...
That you work out, whether or not you like it.
That you get to eat cheat meals, in a healthy way, whilst having your weight under control.
That you get a system that works, when you work out.
This is not a series of tips and tricks. It's a system that works.
You might wonder what the secret to my 14kg loss in 4 months was. What's more important, is how I've maintained that even 4 months later.
Like you, I was frustrated and wondering how I would lose weight without access to a gym during lockdown. I was angry that over 5 months, I had paid good money for coaching and gyms, only to see no change in the scales. I wanted to give up.
Maybe being fit is just not my thing.
That's a lie. You can keep telling yourself that being fit is not your thing... and end up regretting.
The Four Horsemen of Fitness - The Myths that Destroy Your Fitness
You probably have had some memory of the graph above. Occasional drops where you shout 'YAY!' But then the weight comes back up again. You see your weight plateauing. You work harder. But nothing changes.
How do you move from fit to fat to fit? You challenge your own myths and assumptions.
You've probably heard some version of this before.
What I eat doesn’t matter, as long as I work out.
I need lots of time to be fit.
I don’t feel very motivated today, I will work out tomorrow.
I can never get fit, not after failing so many times.
Slaying the 4 Horsemen
What I eat doesn't matter, as long as I work out
Wrong.
I used to think that way. I would eat rich desserts, drink milk, and tell myself: I’m going to work out anyway. I will burn it off.
What I didn’t realise is that when certain foods enter our body, it slows our metabolism.
It does damage to our bodies. Because let’s face it. Whatever you put in your body, has the capacity to help, or harm your body.
There’s no middle ground.
It is helping or it is harming.
There’s no food that helps AND harms the body.
I don’t feel very motivated today, I will work out tomorrow.
Ah, the classic procrastinator. Waiting for motivation to strike.
Here’s a secret.
Motivation begins after your exercise, not before.
Very often, you think that you need motivation to get started on your exercise. But it’s not motivation you need. It’s commitment.
Commitment to put on your trainers, and to get out of your house.
If you think Joseph Schooling waits for motivation to wake up at 4am to train, then you’re wrong.
He does it whether or not he likes it. That’s not motivation.
That’s just putting on your trainers, and getting out.
I can never get fit, not after failing so many times.
You’ve probably tried everything, and you’re tired.
You look at people like Nicholas, with his six-packs. Or the other trainers online with their six-packs too.
You look at your family pack, and you’re tired of trying again.
You’re tired of trying another course that promises much, and ends up delivering little.
You and I know that it’s not about how much you know, but how much you apply.
In other words, not knowledge. But implementation.
We want to share with you the Failsafe Method. Which means that even if you do 1% of what we tell you to do, that’s enough to see radical changes in your physique.
More than that, it’s not about the body. It’s also about the mind. It’s your mind who gets you down, who tells you that you will never succeed.
I need lots of time to be fit.
You don’t need lots of time, you need quality time.
Between April and Aug 2020, I was writing a book, working, studying, and launching a product.
There were days when I only had 15 minutes to work out before hopping onto the next thing.
Here’s the thing.
It’s not how much you do, it’s how often you do.
Since 7 Apr 2020, I have not missed a single day of workout. I intend to keep it that way. If you think that’s crazy, it’s not.
If I can, I give an hour to my workout. If I can’t, I give 15 minutes.
Don’t tell me you don’t have time. If you have time for Instagram, you’ve definitely got time for this.
It’s whether you want to do it.
You wouldn't stop here, would you?
Now that you know all these, you wouldn't stop here, would you?
You would be wondering about what the knowledge you need is, and how to implement it. When I was stuck at my weight for 6 months, I wanted to give up. Maybe you do too.
Don't. You're doing fantastic things by not giving up.
What do you need?
3 things. Knowledge. Application. Follow up.
Simple to read, not so simple to do. Why? Because out on the Internet, there's so much conflicting advice about what works, and what doesn't work, that you begin to wonder...
Does anything even work?

Nicholas Ng
Nicholas Ng is Mr World Singapore 2020. He coaches clients to achieve their best selves, through an evidence-based practice backed by the best scientific research.
When Nicholas is not working out, he's busy reading more science journals on cutting-edge research about fitness.
Maybe you’re thinking, this is just another marketing ploy to get my money.
John and Nicholas are really disciplined. They've been working out for so long.
I can’t possibly sustain the change, given that I’ve failed so many times.
Let’s be honest. You’re never going to recommend us if you don’t have any transformation.
Well, that’s why we’re not abandoning you after we’ve taken your money.
You will follow up with one live, personal 1-1 coaching session with Nicholas.
To talk about your mindset, you will also have 2 coaching sessions with John.
Then, you will have 3 mastermind sessions where you can share about your difficulties, and get the opinions of the group.
Will this really work?
Look at the results.
You have Nicholas, who went from Mr Scrawny to Mr World Singapore 2020. You have John, who went from fit to fat to fitter. He has an idea of what it's like to start with zero fitness, rather than someone who has always been fit.
You might not always be fit. Well, it's time to. Fitness is not about fitness.
It's about a way of life.
