About Russ

Hi, I’m Russ Howe — personal trainer, coach, and the man behind RussHowePTI.com.

I created this site to help real men and women build muscle, lose fat, and get in great shape without falling for the fitness industry’s endless stream of nonsense.

No fads. No magic supplements. No “secret” tricks. Just proper training and nutrition, explained clearly, with enough humour to keep the whole thing from feeling like a punishment.

My Story

I’ve spent most of my life around barbells and dumbbells.

My journey started back in 1990, when I first entered a gym as a 9-year-old kid with a genetic bone condition which had forced me into a wheelchair. Training helped me strengthen my body and fight my way out of that chair, and from that point on the gym became a huge part of my life.

As I got older, my interest in training grew into a real passion. I became fascinated by bodybuilding, athletic performance, and the process of changing the body through structured training and nutrition. That eventually led me to qualify as a personal trainer in 2002.

From Gym Floor To Online Coaching

Working as a PT taught me something important very quickly: no two people are the same.

Some people want to build muscle. Some want to lose fat. Some are rebuilding confidence after years away from exercise. Others are dealing with old injuries, false starts, and years of bad advice.

That’s what shaped the way I coach.

I learned to focus on what actually works in the real world, not just what sounds impressive on paper. I also learned that most people do far better when you explain the “why” behind the plan instead of just barking instructions at them.

I launched my website in 2011 alongside my PT business, and over time it grew far beyond anything I expected. What started as an extension of my coaching eventually became the main thing, allowing me to build programs and resources used by people all over the world.

What You Can Expect From Me

My coaching style is science-based, practical, and built for real life.

That means:

• no detox rubbish
• no influencer fluff
• no pretending everybody needs to train like a competitive bodybuilder
• no overcomplicated plans designed to look clever rather than get results

What you will get is straightforward, proven training and nutrition guidance that helps you:

• build muscle
• lose fat
• train with confidence
• understand what you’re doing and why it works

Most of the plans on this site are aimed at helping everyday men and women build a lean, strong, athletic physique — not chase some extreme bodybuilding fantasy.

Why RussHowePTI.com Exists

I built this site because too many people are stuck between two bad options:

Either they get lost in free fitness content that contradicts itself every five minutes, or they end up paying silly money for coaching that overpromises and underdelivers.

RussHowePTI.com gives you a better option.

Inside the members area, you get access to my workout plans, nutrition plans, Daily Trainer, and members-only resources in one place — all designed to help you stop guessing and start making progress.

You’re In The Right Place

If you’re looking for a simple, evidence-based way to build a better body, you’re in the right place.

There are thousands of men and women using the methods inside this site to get stronger, leaner, and more confident — and I’d love to help you do the same.
