Week of Mon 21 to Sun 27 Sep 2026
Fourteen posts, two a day.
Your main post at 5pm and a quest clip at 10am, the other way round at the weekend.
You film five main reels and three quest clips on Monday.
There's no sign-up page yet, so anyone who wants in messages you IN.
Your one line
The friend who drags you in.
In July 2017 a mate dragged you into a gym. You'd probably never have started without him. In October you're that mate for the next lad.
Every post tells a bit of your story. Only a few ask.
The promise
30 days to your first real conversation in the gym.

What the tags meanFive jobs, and what ASK meansSomething that happened to you, with the when and the where. It makes a stranger trust you.
The 30 days. The only posts that ask him to join.
The lad watching, described so well he knows it's him.
What happened to a lad you coached, told by you.
What you stand against. It asks for his view.
ASK means that post asks him to join. Sunday's recap never asks.
Quest clips: 7 this weekYour second post, every dayFive limits, and none of them bends.
Trial reels: none ready yetVolume first. Your call how manyNothing to cut yet. The openings you film this week are the material.
Monday 21 Sep · about 95 minutes · 8 stops
Three of the week's quest clips are in this list, because you can film them on the same trip. The other four you film in the week, the second after you have done the thing.
Sofa piece: use your front panel light. Everything else is daylight.
Not on base: Film at your normal gym, not at RAF Brize Norton.
That goes double for the quest clips: no gym, no gate, no building and no uniform that belongs to work. And nobody else's face in any shot, all week.
Tap a day to open it
1 of 2Quest clip, post 10am
Your gym car park, or the walk from the car to the door. Morning, daylight. Phone at arm's length, you walking. Film it straight after you've done it, not before. Nobody else in shot: if someone comes past, wait or point the phone at the floor.
Normal, like you're telling a mate what you just did.
Not: pleased with yourself.
Say the number you actually got. If two ignored you, say that, it's better.
Hook
“Just said good morning to everyone on the way in.”
FIXED: say it as written · dashed box: your words
Just said good morning to everyone on the way in here.
FIXED I'm Kelvin. This is my confidence quest.
YOUR WORDS: how many said it back, how many didn't
Sounds like nothing. Back when I wouldn't speak in a room full of people, it wasn't nothing.
You're not doing it for them. You're doing it so you know you can start it.
Try it tomorrow on three people. That's the whole thing.
FIXED CLOSE Follow if you want the rest of them.
One take. Don't redo it if you fluff a word.

YOUR WORDS: one line about how it went this morning
2 of 2Reel, post 5pm
In your car, parked outside your gym. Phone on the dash, daylight. Sitting, seatbelt off.
Quiet and honest, like you're telling a mate something you've never told him.
Not: motivational speaker, no big voice.
Keep him as "my mate". No name unless he's happy with it. He only turns up on the Monday, not on the night out.
Hook
“You're not scared of the gym. You're scared of being the skinniest lad in it.”

FIXED You're not scared of the gym. You're scared of being the skinniest lad in it.
July 2017, that was me. Back from a week away with the RAF, barely said a word to anyone. Went out in Oxford and didn't stop till ten the next morning.
Monday came. Hungover, in my overdraft, feeling rough.
My mate said: "We need to sort our shit out and stop drinking so much and start going to the gym."
Didn't really get a choice. He just dragged me to the gym.
Mostly machines. Didn't go near the free weights. Kept checking who was watching.
FIXED PUNCH If he hadn't dragged me in that first time, I'd probably never have started.
I always left that bit out. Because I thought: what if you haven't got a mate like that?
FIXED CLOSE So in October, I'm going to be that mate.
Record it in two or three pieces and retake freely.

Who dragged you into the gym? Or are you still waiting for someone to?
YOUR WORDS: two or three lines, your own, about that Monday
1 of 2Quest clip, post 10am
Wherever you did it: the shop, the coffee place, the street. Daylight. Standing still, phone at arm's length. Straight after. No faces but yours.
Flat and matter of fact.
Not: a lesson.
Not a stare. Say that out loud, it's the bit people get wrong.
Hook
“I've just looked four or five people in the eye today and smiled at them.”
FIXED: say it as written · dashed box: your words
Been looking people in the eye today and smiling. That's it.
FIXED I'm Kelvin. This is my confidence quest.
Not staring at them, not waiting for them to look first. A glance and a smile, then carry on.
YOUR WORDS: what one of them did back
If you're the lad who looks at the floor from the car to the front door, start here. It's the cheapest one there is.
Do it once today.
FIXED CLOSE One of these every day. Follow if you want them.

1 of 2Quest clip, post 10am
Inside your gym, on the floor, mid set. Gym lights. Phone propped to the side, one quiet shot of you working. No talking, no music, room sound only. Film this on Monday, same trip as the 5pm reel, but a different shot: the bag going down is already in that one.
No performance. Just train and let it run.
Not: looking at the camera.

YOUR WORDS: one line about what you notice when they're out
2 of 2Reel, post 5pm
In the gym, by the dumbbells, your normal gym lights. Headphones in your hand, not on your head. In the first three seconds you drop them in your bag. Standing.
Firm, a bit of a smile. You're letting him in on something.
Not: telling him off.
Hook
“You wear headphones in the gym so nobody talks to you.”
FIXED: say it as written · dashed box: your words
FIXED You wear headphones in the gym so nobody talks to you.
YOUR WORDS: roughly when when my confidence was low, I stopped wearing mine. I still don't wear them now.
Going without them, that's the one the lads I've coached push back on most. My answer's always the same: what else are you hiding behind?
FIXED PUNCH People are more likely to ask the guy with no headphones on for a spot.
Next session, leave them in the bag. One session.
FIXED CLOSE Try it once and message me how it went.

Home, first thing, before you leave. Four quick shots, no talking: the cold water, the pint of water, you stretching on the floor, the coffee at the end. Film it Monday morning and use it Thursday. Phone propped on something, you in shot.
Quick cuts, ordinary.
Not: a routine video with a countdown and a soundtrack.

Warm and sure. You're inviting him, not selling to him.

FIXED You've trained in the same gym for months, headphones in, and never had a real conversation with anyone in there.
Somebody dragged me into a gym once. Now it's my turn.
In October I'm taking a small group of lads through 30 days with me. It's free.
The basics. One session with no headphones. Eye contact and a smile. Saying good morning.
Then the conversations. Introduce yourself to three people you don't know. Then two or three minutes with someone you don't normally speak to.
FIXED PUNCH Thirty days to your first real conversation in the gym.
It's not for the lad who already knows better and argues with every plan. I've learned that one the hard way.
You apply, we have a quick call, you're in.

Outside, straight after it happened. Wherever you were. Phone at arm's length. Nobody else in shot and no voices but yours: if you can hear them, cut it.
A bit buzzed, like you've just got away with something.
Not: smug.
Tell what actually happened, including the one that went nowhere. The flat one is the useful one.

“Just told three people my name who had no idea who I was.”
FIXED: say it as written · dashed box: your words
Just introduced myself to three people who'd never met me.
FIXED I'm Kelvin. This is my confidence quest.
YOUR WORDS: where you were, and what you said to the first one
One of them turned into a proper chat. One said hello and went back to his phone. That one's fine too.
The win isn't the conversation. The win is that you started it.
Name, then ask how they are. That's all it is.

Walking from your car to the gym door, phone at arm's length, daylight. Stop at the door for the punch. Last three seconds: you push the door open and walk in.
Close and a bit raw, like you're remembering it as you walk.
Not: a vlog voice.

“If the walk to the gym makes you feel sick, I know that feeling.”
FIXED: say it as written · dashed box: your words
FIXED If the walk to the gym makes you feel sick, I know that feeling. I was sure I'd be the skinniest lad in there and everyone would be watching me.
July 2017, RAF Brize Norton. The first session my mate dragged me to. Sick in my stomach. Weak at the knees.
Walking out, I felt good. First pump. I'd done something I didn't think I would.
And I still didn't feel like I belonged there.
That bit took longer. YOUR WORDS: when did it start feeling like your gym?
FIXED PUNCH Things are only scary in your head.
FIXED CLOSE Send this to the mate you'd do that walk with.

1 of 2Reel, post 10am
Home, on the sofa, evening. Front panel light on you, lamp behind. Sitting back, relaxed.
Honest, a bit amused at yourself.
Not: having a go at big coaches.
Say "my wife". Whether you name Meg is your call.

FIXED You follow big gym coaches and never message one. I was the same, back when I was the skinny lad.
Me and my wife watch wrestling. I used to look at them thinking, imagine looking like The Rock. YOUR WORDS: roughly when this was, and where you were living or based
So I'd look at coaches on Instagram instead.
Looking back, I don't even know if they could've helped me. I was just looking at them thinking, they look good.
FIXED PUNCH Maybe they were just too big and scary. Someone like me, I might've messaged back then.
FIXED CLOSE And if you've got a mate who follows the big lads and never messages anyone, send him this.

Straight after, where it happened. Weekend daylight. Phone at arm's length. No other face and no other voice in it.
Easy. Like a man telling you about his morning.
Not: teaching.
If it was two minutes and awkward, say two minutes and awkward.
Hook
“Just had a three minute conversation with a bloke I've nodded at for a year.”
FIXED: say it as written · dashed box: your words
Just had about three minutes with someone I've only ever nodded at.
FIXED I'm Kelvin. This is my confidence quest.
YOUR WORDS: who, where, and what you asked him
Not hello and how are you. Past that. Ask about his session, or his week, and then actually listen to the answer.
I used to walk past people like that for months because I couldn't think of a second sentence.
Pick one person you've only nodded at. Get past hello.

“Asked someone a real question today instead of talking about the weather.”
FIXED: say it as written · dashed box: your words
Asked someone a real question today. Not the weather, not "you alright".
FIXED I'm Kelvin. This is my confidence quest.
YOUR WORDS: the question you actually asked, word for word
Small talk is two people waiting for it to be over. A real question is you being interested, and people can tell the difference instantly.
How long have you been training here. What are you reading. Anything you actually want to know.
Ask one this week.
FIXED CLOSE If that's you, send me a message.
Built on THE CALL OUT:

Your stories
Keep every question the sticker brings in. They're next week's topics.
Reply to anyone who sends IN:
Write his answer to "what made you message" next to his name.
Nice one ๐๐ผ you're on the list. You'll get the link first as soon as it's up. Quick one while I've got you: what made you message? And are you training at the minute, or not yet? Got a mate who'd do it with you? Tell him to message me IN.
To your list, Thursday after the post
(hit list, old clients, anyone who's asked about coaching). Change the words to yours:
Hey [name], hope you're good. I'm doing something in October I think you'd be up for. 30 days to your first real conversation in the gym. It's free and it's a small group. Want me to send you the details as soon as they're up?
From Thursday, every message you start yourself
gets one line, in your own words: "I'm doing a free 30 days in October, a small group. Want the details?"
Never say or show the start date on camera. Say "October". The date goes in captions and stories. Past dates like July 2017 are fine.
Lines tagged FIXED in red stay as close to written as you can: the hook, the punch and the close. Say everything else your way.
Where it says YOUR WORDS, only you know the answer. Fill it in or cut the line. Never make one up.
The only keyword is IN. Never ask for any other word, anywhere.
On the Oxford night, tell the drinking and the Monday. Leave the rest out while you're in the RAF.
Nobody else's face in any shot, and never film on base. That goes for every quest clip.
