There’s a moment most men never talk about.
It’s not a crisis. It’s not rock bottom.
It’s quieter than that.

You’re standing in front of the mirror, adjusting your shirt, and for just a second, you flinch.
Not because of vanity. But because that man staring back at you… doesn’t feel like you anymore.

In this episode of Fitness by Design, Coach Spencer pulls back the curtain on the unspoken collapse happening behind high-achieving men’s lives. The burnout. The identity erosion. The quiet decay behind the titles and calendars.

This isn’t about six-packs. It’s about reclaiming the man you swore you’d become, before life buried him in deadlines, meetings, and weight that won’t move.

You’ll walk away with truth, direction, and the raw reminder that leadership starts in the mirror.

Your comeback starts now.

I turned 35 yesterday. And this year, the birthday didn’t feel like a celebration, it felt like a confrontation.

Because for most of my 20s and early 30s, I told myself I could figure it out alone. And all it got me was burnout, shame, and a body that felt completely out of sync with the life I’d built.

This episode is different.

It’s not a list of tips. It’s the full story of how I went from ending up in the ER from ulcerative colitis and metabolic damage… to leading from the front as a corporate professional, coach, husband, and soon to be father, who finally feels like the man I’m supposed to be.

Inside, I’ll walk you through:
The breaking point that shattered my pride
What I learned from 3 different coaches (and what I’ll never do to my own clients)
The system I built from my pain, my profession, and my truth

Why I still use that same system to this day, while working a 9–5, managing my UC, and building a business.

If you’re done winging it. If your reflection doesn’t match the man you are at work. If you know it’s time to stop guessing...

You track your revenue. You track your hours. You track every single KPI that matters at work. But what about the KPIs that matter at home?

This episode is an unfiltered audit of what your poor health is actually costing you: physically, mentally, emotionally, professionally. From your energy in 4PM meetings to the tension in your marriage... these aren’t random symptoms. They’re a slow bleed that’s robbing you of the life you built.

If you're tired of pretending it's just stress... or “just a busy season,” this episode is your wake-up call. Because this isn’t about six-packs or supplements. It’s about clarity. Leadership. Presence. And what happens when you finally stop managing chaos and start engineering calm.

DM me “DESIGN” on Instagram if you’re done guessing. Let’s build the system that holds up when everything else doesn’t.

You’ve said it a hundred times...
“I know what to do… I just need to do it.”

But if that were true, you wouldn’t be skipping workouts, stress-eating on the way home, or hoping Monday magically feels different.

This episode isn’t about fat loss. It’s about integrity.

Because if your calendar reflects your priorities, but your health still runs on white-knuckled willpower and vibes… you’ve got a leadership problem. Not a discipline one.

Today, I’m walking you through the real reason your confidence is eroding, your progress never sticks, and your body still doesn’t reflect who you are everywhere else in your life.

And more importantly? Exactly how to fix it.

This is about alignment. Self-trust. Execution. The same standards you demand from your team, now applied to your health.

If you're ready to stop winging your health and actually lead with integrity, DM me “DESIGN” on Instagram. Let’s build the structure your goals have been waiting for.

You’ve built systems that hold up under pressure...
Forecasting. Budgeting. Team management. Cross-functional chaos. You lead it all without breaking stride.

But your health?
Still being held together with duct tape, caffeine, and “I’ll figure it out.”

This episode isn’t a gut check. It’s a systems check.

If your meals are random, your workouts inconsistent, your sleep nonexistent, and your confidence slowly fading, you’re not broken. You’re just operating in chaos without a framework.

Inside, I walk you through the 5 systems I install with every high-performing client that stop the guessing and finally engineer real results, without needing more time, motivation, or 75 Hard.

And if you’ve been winging this for way too long?

DM me “DESIGN” on Instagram.
We’ll walk through what your real system needs to look like, so you can stop surviving and start leading in your health the same way you do everywhere else.

You’ve got systems for everything: team meetings, budgets, deliverables, quarterly forecasts. But when it comes to your body? You’re still crossing your fingers and calling it discipline.

This episode is a line in the sand.

If you’ve built the career, lead the projects, and carry the weight of a team… but still feel like a stranger in your own body, you’re not lazy. You’re operating without a system.

Today, we break down what it’s really costing you to keep winging your health when you’ve systemized everything else in your life. And more importantly? Why that stops today.

This isn’t about tips. This is about structure. Leadership. Legacy. And the system I built after living the same corporate chaos you’re in now.

And if you're tired of winging it? DM me “DESIGN” on Instagram.

We’ll map out exactly what that looks like for you.
