Losing belly fat is one of the most common fitness goals—and also one of the most frustrating. Many people try quick fixes like detox drinks, extreme diets, or daily ab workouts, only to see little or no progress. The truth is, you cannot target belly fat with exercises alone. A structured, full-body approach is what leads to long-term fat loss.
I’m Ryan Kennedy, an online personal trainer and fat loss coach. I help people lose weight, get stronger, and stay consistent—without making fitness their full-time job. With simple plans, realistic goals, and consistent support, you can lose fat and keep it off for good.
Why Belly Fat Is So Stubborn
Fat around the midsection can be harder to shift than fat in other areas. This is often due to hormones, stress, sleep quality, and eating habits. You may notice that your arms or face lean out first while your stomach stays the same.
Trying to burn belly fat with endless crunches won’t help. Instead, a better method includes a mix of regular resistance training, a manageable calorie deficit, and good sleep and stress habits. These changes work together to support fat loss across your entire body—including your belly.
What Actually Works
There is no magic trick to losing belly fat. However, the right plan makes it far easier to stay consistent and see results. I use an approach that is simple, structured, and built to last.
Here’s what helps:
A custom training plan that suits your life
Nutrition support without strict diets
Weekly check-ins and accountability
Progress tracking using realistic goals
Mindset coaching to keep you focused
This method works whether you’re training at home, in the gym, or a bit of both. You don’t need to cut carbs, train every day, or feel guilty about food.
The Benefits of Online Coaching
One of the biggest advantages of online coaching is flexibility. You can follow your plan anywhere and fit workouts into your own schedule. Whether you are a complete beginner or returning after time off, I’ll create a plan that works for you.
As your coach, I’ll guide you through every step. We will adjust your programme as needed and make sure you stay on track. You won’t have to guess or second-guess your efforts—I’ll give you the tools, support, and structure to move forward with confidence.

Testimonials
Kim
Before starting Open to Change I had become very lazy and was surviving on mostly chocolate every day at work and hadn’t stepped foot in a gym in a few years and just felt like I’d let myself go!
Since starting I lost nearly a stone and then managed to maintain it for the rest of the program! I also joined a gym and gained so much more confidence in the gym setting because everything was planned for me in advance which made it seem so easy.
I honestly couldn’t recommend it more if you need some help and guidance!
Ryan makes it all so straight forward and is great at keeping you motivated! Send him a message, you’ll thank yourself for it.
Judith
I was at an all time low, getting depressed as I couldn’t get the weight shifted and I was totally lost at what to do.
I’m now feeling a lot better within myself. Have lost over a stone and a half, down in clothing sizes, and often get compliments on my progress.
Ryan is an absolute legend and he helps you to get out of ruts.
