From Burnout to Breakthrough
I'd been training since I was 13, but by my mid-twenties, fitness had become an afterthought buried under deadlines and tech demands. I was burnt out, anxious, and had let years of consistent training slip away. One day I realised I'd spent more time optimising algorithms than I had looking after myself, and something had to change. Getting back into training wasn't just about building strength, it was about reclaiming the part of myself I'd abandoned.
What began as a way to manage stress turned into an obsession. I approached my return to fitness the only way I knew how, like debugging a broken system. I tracked everything, built custom apps, and slowly rebuilt myself from the ground up. When I started sharing my journey online, I realised I wasn't alone. Thousands of people were living the same burnout cycle I'd escaped. That's when HenchTechGuy stopped being just my personal project and became something bigger: a way to help others break free from the same trap I'd been in.
