Hey friend,
I’d like to take this chance to formally introduce myself.
I’m Russ, the owner of russhowepti.com. I’ve been a personal trainer for 22 years and counting, working from the legendary Powerhouse Gym, South Shields.
I know that you don’t sign up for a new workout website every day, so I’d like to personally thank you for using my work!
I started russhowepti.com way back in 2011, and my mission was (and still is) to give people a reliable source of “No B.S.” fitness information they can trust! I want to chunk down your transformation into a series of “do this, not that” instructions that are easy to follow, and I have over a decade worth of proven training programs to help you do it!
Before we get started, though, I want to promise you something:
I don’t fuck around, so I give you my word that if you follow the training and nutrition recommendations on my website to a “T” you will build your best body to date. You have all the tools here to sky-rocket your results.

Anyone Can Use RussHowePTI.com
Every coach has their own way of doing things.
I’ve always believed that fitness is for everyone, so spent years perfecting my ability to teach my trademark no-nonsense, science-based teaching style in a way that anyone can use it.
I do not care about your past experience (or lack of it), all I care about is that you are here right now and you deserve the chance to build your best body.
Now then, I’ve always been a total fitness nerd. I regularly spend my days either on the gym floor or reading up on the latest developments in the world of sports science. I then frame this knowledge into programs which anybody can follow. I’ve worked with thousands of clients over the years, ranging from professional athletes, to actors, to busy parents, and my programs are deliberately designed in a way that every single person can use them.
The Core Principles Of RussHowePTI.com
Every program is built upon three core principles:
- Proper Training
Most people are “winging it” in the gym and hoping for the best. I hate this approach because it’s a waste of time. A properly structured training program will boost your results far beyond what most people achieve, so that’s exactly what you’ll get!
Each program inside russhowepti.com has been designed using the latest fitness research, then battle-tested on the floor of Powerhouse Gym, and then designed into a series of easy-to-follow steps for the website. Enjoy!
- Proper Nutrition
Listen up; the food you eat will elevate your results even further!
When I was a young PT the nutrition side of the fitness world was in total disarray. People used to follow awful restrictive diet plans were they’d try to survive on boring ass chicken and rice – not because they wanted to, but because they simply didn’t know there was another way!
Thankfully, things have come a long way since then. I’m going to show you to step-by-step diet plans my male and female clients have been using over the years to get in tremendous shape without giving up their favourite treats.
- Proper Supplementation
The biggest misconception about supplements is that they are somehow “separate” from food, when in reality they are the same thing.
By learning how to use supplements to plug the gaps your eating preferences miss, you learn how to turn your body into a 24/7 muscle building, fat burning machine. I’ll also teach you how to avoid the unnecessary hype around certain supplements so you only stick to the stuff that actually works.
Take A Look At “The Members Area”
My website is a big place, so I created a “Members Area” page which links you off to all sections from one handy place.
There’s always a welcome message displayed at the top. This is where I’ll inform you of new programs or important updates, etc.
Beneath this you’ll see the main “meat” of the page. You can easily navigate the sliders in each section to jump to the content you’re most interested in; workouts, recipes, training programs, blogs, exercise demos, etc.
The first slider highlights 10 training programs. They are sorted in order of popularity.
You can click “See Program” button to open any of them, or you can hit the “See All Programs” button to expand into the programs section, where you’ll see every single plan. From there you can also filter programs by fat loss, muscle building, or all.
The next slider highlights the standalone workouts section.
This is a library of nasty workouts for each muscle group; perfect for those days where you don’t need a full program, just a killer leg workout or an arms session to destroy your cocky buddy with!
Just like above, it’ll show you the current 10 most popular choices and you can open a workout by hitting “Do This Workout”:
Of you can expand into the full workout library (100s of workouts in there) by hitting the “See All Workouts” button.
Once inside the library you can sort the workouts by muscle group:
Let’s look at the exercises which are contained within the workouts and programs.
Everything comes with a video demonstration, and its own page giving comprehensive instructions on how to do it.
I’ve left no stone unturned with these. You’ll get a video demo of me doing the exercise in question (a real training video shot in a real workout in Powerhouse Gym, not the fake-looking rubbish other sites use), alongside some written tips, a list of alternate exercises (very handy if you dislike a certain movement or your gym doesn’t have certain equipment), and a muscle highlighter to show you the target body parts of the exercise.
You can see them all in the exercise glossary, where you can sort via muscle groups.
Back to the members area, the next slider features diet plans.
Just like earlier, it’ll show you a handful of the most popular diet plans and you can open them by pressing the “Read More” button, or you can click “See All Nutrition Plans” to open up the full nutrition section.
I’ve written diet plans which use very different methods (high carb, low carb, intermittent fasting, flexible dieting, etc) and cover both short-term and long-term goals, and the best part is any diet plan can be use alongside any of my training programs!
If you click on “See All Nutrition Plans” it’ll open up the nutrition section of the website.
You’ll see all the diet plans here, as well as the newly-added recipes section.
I’m a big fan of letting clients (and website members) eat the foods they personally enjoy when they are trying to get in great shape (e.g. as long as you hit your daily nutritional targets, you’re good to go!), but this section gives you a handy source of easy-to-use recipes for when you’d like to shake things up a little.
Just like when you viewed workouts and exercises, you can sort through the recipes with the top menu, only this time you’re telling it how many calories you’d like to spend.
I couldn’t have made these any easier; each one gives you a list of ingredients, step-by-step prep instructions, and even a calorie/macro breakdown.
Back in the members area, the next slider covers the blog.
My blog contains all my articles on training, nutrition, and supplementation so as you can imagine this is a huge amount of content.
The slider here will give you the 15 most popular blog posts right now, and you can open one by hitting the “Read It” button, or expand into the full body by pressing the “See All Articles” button. The main difference is that the expanded view will let you search articles by keywords and show you absolutely everything.
The final slider in the members area shows the store.
This is a basic section which gives you quick links to the supplements and/or training gear which I frequently mention in programs or diet plans. It’s a handy time-saver when it comes to ordering new stock.
Clicking on the “Get Some” button takes you directly to the product.
Located at the bottom of the members area, you’ll see the “News & Updates” section.
It’ll show you the most recent additions and/or changes I’ve made to the website in recent weeks, such as new daily trainer workouts going live, new programs being uploaded, new articles being published, etc.
It also features a little search bar where you can type keywords to search the entire site.
You’re Good To Go!
Now you’re ready to use russhowepti.com to build your best body.
There’s a LOT of content, I know, so take your time.
I am constantly developing new material (new training programs, diet plans, blogs, etc) so the website is evolving all the time. That’s what makes russhowepti.com so special and such awesome value; everything which is added in the future is added on top of what you already have, for free!
