Long shifts, early starts, and a body that's paying for it. Lighthouse Coaching helps working men rebuild their strength, drop the gut, and show up as the leader their family needs — without living in a gym.

Founder & Head Coach, Lighthouse Coaching
A lighthouse doesn't move.
It stands firm in the storm, cutting through darkness, guiding those who are lost back to safety.
It doesn't chase. It doesn't save. It shows the way.
You work hard for your family. Somewhere along the way, taking care of yourself dropped to the bottom of the list.
Between work, kids and everything else, training feels like one more thing you can't fit in.
You used to feel capable. Now the stairs, the yard, and playing with the kids all take more out of you.
Shift work, camp food, and irregular hours make "just eat clean and train hard" sound like a joke.
You've tried the generic programs and apps before. They weren't built for your life.
Lighthouse Coaching is not a bodybuilding program or a fad diet. It's a straightforward system for busy men who want to get strong, stay healthy, and lead by example.
Have the energy to get on the floor with your kids and still be standing at the end of the day.
A plan that flexes around swing/night shifts, camp meals, and limited gym gear on site.
Build strength and durability so the job gets easier on your body, not harder, as the years go on.

For years I struggled with my weight, guessing my way through what food worked, working crazy hours in the mines and catching myself at the vending machine more often than I should've been.
I didn't like who I saw in the mirror. Yeah, I still trained in the gym and I looked good with my shirt on — but very rarely was I seen with my shirt off, and I felt uncomfortable when I did.
Alcohol, partying and drugs were a massive part of my life for a long time, and all I was doing was hiding behind it with the same bullshit excuse: "I'll start Monday." Yeah, Monday would come around and I was broke from all the money I'd spent partying.
I had one choice — fix my life, fix my food, and live who I knew I could be.
For the last 15 years I've been down rabbit hole after rabbit hole, learning, refining and shaping myself into the man I look at today — proud as fuck, with bulletproof discipline, and more goal-orientated than ever.
I enjoy my food. I enjoy the way I look at food now. And I no longer abuse my body to the point where I regret the man in the mirror.
The life we live as men is hard enough — but with structure, accountability and focus, I show up for myself first. The byproduct of that is who I am, and why I'm here.
Now I bring that same structure, accountability and focus to every client — because I've lived every excuse you're about to give me.
Chris built this program off his own transformation. Here's his before and after, alongside a client who put in the work.


Chris coaches from experience, not theory — he's been through the same rebuild he now takes clients through.


“I didn’t have much direction — premade camp food was life on the roster. Chris got me focused and showed me better options and better ways of eating. I’m 29kg lighter because of him.”
No fad diets. No 2-hour gym sessions. A straightforward plan you can actually stick to on a roster, on the tools, or at home.
A strength program built around the equipment and time you actually have.
Practical eating that works with shift work, camp meals and family dinners — not against them.
Direct access to Chris for check-ins, form feedback, and adjustments — so you never guess alone.
Tell Chris about your schedule, goals and where you're starting from. No pressure, no judgment.
Chris builds your training and nutrition plan around your roster, equipment and goals — loaded into the Lighthouse Coaching App.
Train, check in, adjust, repeat. You get stronger, leaner and more capable — with someone in your corner.
Ten questions about your roster, your sleep, your food and your training. Chris goes through your answers himself and sends back a written breakdown of the one thing costing you the most progress — and why it's that, not what you think it is.
Chris will go through your answers personally and send your breakdown to within 24 hours.
“Biggest change for me has been the structure. Christopher from Lighthouse Coaching has shone the light on a better path, pun intended. His knowledge and guidance to a change in lifestyle has created a foundational structure to continuously build up on. I’m dropping in kilos, feeling less bloated and the wife says the muscles are popping. The path is there for us all, some of us just struggle to find it, but that’s where Lighthouse Coaching can shine the light for you.”
“Since starting with Chris from Lighthouse Coaching I’ve already noticed some great changes. My training feels much more structured, and I’m more consistent because I know exactly what I’m working towards. Mentally, I’m becoming more disciplined and confident, and I’m starting to trust the process instead of looking for quick results. With my nutrition, I’m making better food choices to align with my dietary needs, eating more intentionally, and staying on track without guessing what I need to do. Overall, I already feel stronger, more focused, and more motivated to keep improving.”
“I was hesitant about working with a coach because I’m on the road all the time managing electrical projects — I was always relying on microwavable meals to try and stay healthy. Since starting with Chris, not only did he streamline my process, he’s saving me time and money every week because everything is tracked, measured and all available on his app. Even his tips on how to store food in my camp fridge so I don’t overload it with too many containers were impressive. Straight away his training program was built around a few niggling injuries I had, and I’m now eating more food and with better structure. LFG the next phase already.”
Yes — this is exactly who Lighthouse Coaching is built for. Your plan is designed around your roster, not the other way around, so it flexes with swing shifts, camp gyms and time zones.
No. Your program is built around whatever equipment you actually have access to — a full gym, a home setup, or a limited site/camp gym.
Most clients train 3–4 sessions a week. Sessions and check-ins are kept efficient because we know your time is limited.
Yes. You'll get practical nutrition guidance built around real life — shift work, camp food and family meals — not a rigid meal plan.
Everything is delivered and tracked through the Lighthouse Coaching App — your training plan, check-ins, and direct messaging with Chris.
Tradies don't get to clock out of physical work. The niggle you shake off at 30 turns into the injury that sidelines you at 40 — and waiting six months doesn't pause that clock, it just means starting further behind.
The shoulder or back pain you're pushing through doesn't fix itself under load. The earlier you build strength and mobility around it, the less likely it costs you time off tools.
Losing conditioning happens fast — getting it back takes longer every year that passes. Six months from now, the work to get back to where you are today only gets harder.
There's no long career in the trades without a body that can still do the work. The blokes still swinging tools at 50 started protecting their bodies well before they had to.
