The Strong Gamer Transformation Program

What if Fitness Was Fun?

What if getting fit felt like leveling up in your favorite game – so satisfying you can’t wait for the next session?

What if you didn’t need to rely on discipline all the time – because you actually like exercise and want to exercise? Just like you don’t need discipline to play a game you’re excited to play.

What if we made acquiring knowledge on exercise, nutrition and our psychology interactive and fun so that it actually sticks and immediately improves your life?

Your goals would become reality, because you now enjoy the process of getting there. It’s no longer a matter of if you’ll achieve your goals, but when. Only a matter of time before you:

• Have more physical and mental energy every day
• Set yourself up for long term health, for your family, kids and grandkids
• Rediscover a sense of purpose and drive
• Increase your stamina and enjoy all kinds of physical activities more
• Increase your strength in and out of the gym
• Improve your posture
• Feel more capable and independent
• Regain confidence in yourself
• Become comfortable in your own body
• Fit into your favorite clothes again
• Feel your shirts tighten up around your arms and shoulders from added muscle
• Shatter limiting beliefs that keep you from achieving your goals or even trying in the first place

This program was created for this exact reason – to help you get away from feeling shame around exercise or your current fitness level, and instead enter the gym from a place of positivity rather than using exercise as a form of self-hatred.

To reject mainstream diet culture, excessive calorie restriction and silly ‘diet hacks’. To restore a positive relationship with food so that you actually feel good and energized, instead of starving yet forcing yourself to still hit the gym 5 days a week and do endless amounts of cardio.

To retake control of your health and restore belief in yourself, despite any negative experiences you’ve had in the past that damaged your relationship with food and exercise.

You’ve been missing a key ingredient in your past attempts at fitness: Enjoyment.

This is the first step in restoring a positive relationship with exercise, nutrition, your body and your mind.

What This Is (and What It’s Not)

Let’s start with what this program is NOT:

❌ A one-size-fits-all plan, glorified spreadsheet, eBook or course

❌ A band-aid, temporary solution, ‘beast mode, no days off’ program (that you’d inevitably fall off of or stop as soon as the program was finished anyway)

❌ A calendar clogging time sink. No matter which path you take, you aren’t chained to weekly calls or endless check-ins. In addition, training programs are structured for maximum time effectiveness to make it realistic to fit into your days and weeks and gives enough breathing room for flexibility when life happens… Because it will.

What this program IS:

✅ A LIVE SERVICE RPG-ified adventure that turns fitness, nutrition and mindset work into quests, XP and boss fights. You’re not just getting access to a one-and-done system, either: you get access to the LIVE Master files shared between myself and all players. Any time I make an update to the game, you instantly get those updates.

✅ A full-stack system housed in Notion: workouts, nutrition plan, progress tracking, quests and your in-game Avatar – all in one place. One app. One login. That’s it.

✅ Play Your Way:

• Hero’s Journey – one-on-one mentorship with me (Shane) throughout the program
• Mass Raid – Begin your journey simultaneously with a group of gamers. It’s still your personal journey, you’re just arriving in the land of Vyrimar at the same time as others. (Think: private Discord server, not group fitness)
• Solo Self-Found – Begin the journey (mostly) on your own – more on that down below

What’s Included

🧭 This is a 12 week journey, consisting of:

• 🥷 Custom Avatar creation – Create your own personal Avatar to represent yourself in-game. Level up your Avatar by completing workouts, quests, adventure logs, boss battles and more. Your Avatar is truly a representation of the progress you are making IRL.

• 🎯 Select a curated strength training program from the Strength Library – by answering the questions within, you will narrow down your program selection to the one (or few) that will suit you best.
  • Exact exercises, exercise order, sets and rep ranges provided for you along with warm up instructions
  • Every exercise has a demo video included, along with basic and advanced tips
  • Your performance history on every exercise is saved (so long as you log your workouts!), so you can review your progress over time in a simple line graph
  • All the guesswork is taken out – no more wondering what exercises to do, what order, how to do them or when to increase weight.

• 🍗🍉 A simple nutrition system that is flexible and customizable – and you don’t have to track calories or macros

• 🌍 An immersive text- and image-based game world where you will travel to different Regions, speak to NPCs, complete Quests, defeat Bosses and level up your Avatar, all intertwined with improving your fitness IRL

Enjoy a preview of some of the Regions you can visit below:

• 🧠 Mental Fitness – the mind and body are one. We work on rewiring your mindset and perception of what’s possible, and learn how to take care of our minds in a modern world

• 📊 Everything in one place – the game world, quests, your workout program and nutrition plan, everything – it’s all in one place. One login. No need for multiple apps.

• 🔐 Lifetime access to the base game materials, including all future updates and improvements to the base game.

The Journey Outline

The journey is laid out in a specific order at a steady pace so that you can focus on one aspect at a time, allowing the lessons to sink in without having to rush or feel lost about where to go and what to do. This outline details the milestones of progress along the way and the benefits you’ll experience at each of them.

Day 0 – You arrive at Crystal Harbor, where you get a lay of the land and prepare for the journey that lies ahead. You are beyond excited to be here, to be given a fresh start and to lock in this ‘fitness thing’ for good.

Week 2 – By reactivating the Tabula Rasa within the Sorcerer’s Sanctum, you have completely changed your perception of what you think is possible, and what you believe you can achieve. You have unlocked the conviction in yourself to carry you through the rest of this journey.

Week 4 – After passing the tests at the Warrior Training Grounds, you are now gym- and fitness-confident, because you have learned how to train properly and effectively, with intensity. With your mind unlocked, and being put to the test at the Grounds, you realize you have much more strength in you than you thought.

Week 6 – BOSS BATTLE: To defeat the behemoth Egoroh in the Atlas Trials, you must learn valuable lessons from masters of strength and combat. Learn how to set yourself up for long term success with strength training and avoid common pitfalls of chasing external outcomes (weight on the bar, reps by any means necessary) at the expense of quality inputs (technique, range of motion, control).

Week 8 – After meditating in frigid solitude atop Snowspire Summit, you have strengthened your link between mind, body and spirit. You have honed in your ability to exist in the present moment.

Week 10 – By utilizing the teachings within the Gastronomer’s Hall and recipes from the Royal Kitchen, The Council of Gastronomers has approved of your Gastronomer’s Scroll – your self-designed nutrition strategy to fuel your training and adventures. Through completing this task, you have developed the skills and confidence to be able to modify and troubleshoot your plan when needed – for life.

Week 12 – FINAL BOSS BATTLE: A terrible, ancient evil brews deep within the Ruins of Sophosterion. Do you have what it takes to vanquish the wickedness that lies within – and become the savior of Vyrimar?

If you execute the program to a high standard – meaning, you do the following over the course of the 12 weeks:

• Complete >90% of your planned training sessions (3 or less workouts missed out of 36)
• Complete your weekly Adventure Log all 12 weeks
• Complete the main quest lines in all 4 major Regions

And you are not pleasantly satisfied with your experience, then you have the right to request a no questions asked refund and receive an additional $100 – AND I’ll throw myself into the fires of Mount Doom to avoid the feelings of guilt for letting you down.

All you have to do is show that you did indeed log/complete all of the above throughout your journey.

I offer this because I have extreme conviction that if you accomplish all of the above, you will have an incredible experience. If you do your part and don’t have an incredible experience, then I have not earned your investment.

I also really, really don’t want to jump into the fires of Mount Doom.

FAQ

⏳ How much time will I need to invest on a weekly basis?

On average, ~45 minutes per workout, 3 workouts per week. Depending on your program selection and your experience/strength level with lifting, the exact amount of time per session could be longer or shorter than this average.

Minimal time investment is needed to complete Quests and other in-game actions; 1-2 hours per week, spread out however you like, should more than suffice.

🏋️ What kind of workout equipment do I need?

To get the most out of your transformation, you’ll need access to strength training equipment, via one of the following:

• Gym Membership
• Community Fitness Center (i.e. apartment complex fitness center)
• At Home (minimum of dumbbells required, ideally multiple sets or adjustable)

🧭 What if I fall behind and miss a quest or workout?

This is your adventure. Life happens. You might miss a workout here or there. Maybe you’re able to make it up next week; maybe you’re not.

Instead of thinking you are now ‘behind’ a workout… Think about how many workouts ahead you are, of the alternate universe version of you that never got started.

You can mess up; you can miss a workout. But I prohibit you from giving up.

The pacing of the Quests in the game is set up so that you can go through them at a very comfortable, steady pace. Aim for a steady pace, and know that if you start to slip behind pace on quests, you can easily catch yourself back up.

📬 Is there support if I get stuck or have questions?

Yes – it looks a little different depending on which Path you choose:

Hero’s Journey (1:1) comes with one-on-one support. We use a blend of text-based communication directly within Notion (where the program is contained), as well as text message for general questions or if a faster response is needed. We can also do phone or zoom calls on an as-needed basis (or when we just feel like catching up).

No weird 48-72 hour response windows, or ‘I don’t check messages on the weekend’ crap.

Mass Raids (Group) support comes in the form of a private Raid members only Discord. This is a temporary group for each specific raid that is run, which closes at the end of the raid. I collect questions for Q&A, and you can submit form checks directly in the group.

Solo Self-Found: while this is the most ‘lone-wolf’ version of the program, you will also get 3 months of Strong Gamers Guild Membership included with your purchase. This is our permanent Discord server to provide community and support to all guild members.

🍉 How does nutrition work in the program?

You’ll be provided a customized nutrition strategy based on what you provide in your introductory Quests upon arriving in Crystal Harbor. This is your base.

Later on in the program, you will learn how to create and modify your own nutrition plan – a skill that will serve you for the rest of your life.

The nutrition system is flexible – we don’t create a rigid meal plan that isn’t realistic in the real world. We are focused on nourishing the body, fueling your workouts & recovery and keeping you energized.

Even if weight loss is the ultimate goal, we need to go about it the right way – focusing on a huge calorie deficit right off the bat usually isn’t the way to go. If you’ve struggled with weight loss, we likely need to do some ‘metabolic repair’ – a combination of fixing carb and protein intake, increasing activity level, and adding some lean muscle, while taking in a reasonable amount of calories.

You’ll almost certainly lose some body fat without even focusing on it. And, you’ll be in a much stronger position for a targeted fat loss phase when the time comes.

You will learn the fundamentals of nutrition and how to create your own nutrition plan within The Gastronomer’s Hall.

You will have access to over 100 nutritious recipes ranging from minimal prep to ‘fancy’ meals for breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks, all located within The Royal Kitchen.

🎮 I’m not a hardcore gamer. Can I still join?

Absolutely – while the program is designed as an interactive game, made for people who enjoy video games and/or tabletop games, it doesn’t mean you need to be a pro/hardcore gamer to do this program. If you’re not into video games at all, and you don’t dig the medieval fantasy vibe… Then this probably isn’t the program for you.

🗺️ What happens after the 12 weeks?

This is only the first arc in your journey.

After the 12 week program, you’ll have the opportunity to renew your membership in the Strong Gamers Guild and continue receiving the benefits within:

• Share wins and discussions within the community
• Direct influence on the direction of the guild and the game through regular polls.
• Form Check video thread and private submission form
• Q&A question submission
• Earn rewards for being a long-standing guild member

You can opt out of the Strong Gamers Guild at anytime – there is no contract or cancellation fee.

⚔️ You are welcome here, hero – no matter where you are in your journey:

The New Recruit: I’ve never lifted weights before – is this beginner-friendly?

This program is beginner friendly – no prior exercise experience required. The program scales with you as you get stronger and more capable. Exercise demonstrations are included and regular form checks via video footage are part of the program and welcomed.

The Returning Warrior: I used to lift, but I’ve fallen off… Am I too far behind?

On the contrary, friend – you will bounce back more quickly than you could imagine – especially when you align everything (proper training, nutrition and mental fitness) at the same time.

The Veteran: I already lift weights – will this program benefit me?

Unless you’re absolutely certain that you have optimized your training and nutrition, and you practice mindfulness and actively train your mind to challenge your limiting beliefs on a regular basis… Then yes, it will.
