Strong for the life you actually live!
Online coaching for busy parents and professionals, worldwide!
Lose fat, get stronger, and have the energy to keep up with your kids, your job, and the things you actually want to do.
This is built for people like you
Tom – 42, accountant
Married with three kids. Long desk hours, constant stress, low energy after work, and always the last person on his own list. He wants to lose 10–15 kg, stop the stress eating, get his confidence back, and finally be the strong, present dad his kids can look up to.
Sarah – 38, nurse
Full-time shifts, two young kids, and still trying to make time for the hikes she loves. Feels constantly tired and guilty for not prioritising her own health, but wants real functional strength so she can keep up with her family on the trails and feel like herself again.
If either of these sounds like you, you’re in the right place!
Meet Coach Josh
I’m Josh Wood, a dad, husband, former wilderness guide, and founder of Strong for Life Online Coaching in Hobart, Tasmania.
With 15+ years coaching busy parents and athletes, I’ve learned one simple truth: fitness only works when it fits real life.
That’s why I created Strong for Life: practical, sustainable training that helps you lose fat, build strength, and actually keep up with your kids, your job, and the adventures you love (even the rainy Tassie ones).
Whether you’re a desk-bound dad like Tom or a busy mum like Sarah trying to get back on the trails, I’m here to help you lose fat, get stronger around a real schedule, and stop starting over every few months.
If this sounds like the kind of coaching you’ve been looking for, you’re in the right place.

1. We start with you
You fill out a quick application and we hop on a short call. I learn about your schedule, your goals, your equipment, and what’s holding you back (work stress, low energy, keeping up with the kids, or getting back on the trails).
2. You get a plan that fits real life
I build you a custom program: workouts that fit your schedule at home or in the gym, nutrition that works around family dinners and takeaway nights, and simple habits that actually stick.
3. I stay in your corner the whole way
You get video guidance for every exercise, weekly check-ins with me, and a private app so I can give you feedback and adjust the plan when life gets messy.
4. You see real results, or coaching is free
If you follow the plan and don’t lose at least 4 kg in 12 weeks (or make clear strength gains), I’ll keep coaching you for free until you do.

No loopholes. Just follow the plan and the results will come. That’s how confident I am that this actually works for busy parents and professionals like you.

Most busy parents want the same things. A program that actually fits around kids, work, and real life. Real results without the hype. And someone who understands that life gets messy.
Here is what to look for:
- A plan built around your actual schedule instead of a rigid template
- A clear guarantee so you are not risking money on another failed attempt
- Simple sustainable habits instead of complicated rules
- Personalised adjustments when kids are sick or work gets crazy
- Real accountability from a coach who has been there himself
That is exactly what I built Strong for Life to deliver.
You’ve seen what’s possible. Now it’s time to make it happen.
ready to lose fat, get stronger, and stop treating fitness like another thing you can’t keep up with. I only take on 5 new clients per quarter.
That’s because I’m a dad too. I need to balance my coaching work with being present for my own family. This limit lets me give every client the full attention and support they deserve without burning out.
If you’re a busy parent who’s tired of starting over every January and ready to lose fat, build strength, and finally feel like the strong, present version of yourself, this is your chance.
