Where You Start
Where most people start: carrying more than they want to, and tired of plans that never survive a normal week.
Personalised coaching from Don Ranu — smart training built around your body, nutrition that fits your life, and the weekly accountability that makes it stick.

Where most people start: carrying more than they want to, and tired of plans that never survive a normal week.
Training becomes a habit and the numbers start moving. Strength arrives before the mirror catches up.
Leaner, stronger, and holding it — because the plan was built to fit the life you already have.

I started coaching because I kept meeting people who were doing everything they were told to do and still getting nowhere. Generic plans, punishing diets, no one checking in. Five years and more than a thousand clients later, my approach hasn't changed: understand the person first, then build the programme.
I coach online from Malabe, working with clients across Sri Lanka and beyond. Training happens where you are — a full gym, a home setup, or a hotel room. What stays constant is the structure, the feedback, and someone in your corner every week.
“I don't just help you lose weight. I help you build a healthier lifestyle that lasts.”
Your metabolism, schedule, injuries and history are yours. The plan is built from them, not from a template.
Someone else's timeline is not a benchmark. We measure your progress against where you started.
Not from perfect weeks. A plan you can repeat on a bad week beats one that only works on a good one.
Training and food have to survive work, family and travel. If it does not fit, it does not last.
A free call. Your goal, your history, your schedule — and whether I am the right coach for it.
Measurements, movement screening, current eating and training. A baseline we can measure against.
Training and nutrition written for your equipment, your time and the food you already buy.
Check-ins, form video reviews and adjustments. The plan moves as your body does.
We finish by building the maintenance habits, so the result survives after coaching ends.
Where most people start: carrying more than they want to, and tired of plans that never survive a normal week.
Every programme is built from your assessment. The difference between them is what you are training for and how much contact you want.
Full remote programming with weekly contact. The core offer, and how most clients work with me.
One-to-one sessions with hands-on coaching. Best if you want technique corrected in the room.
Sustainable fat loss on a calorie structure you can hold through a normal week.
Structured hypertrophy with progressive overload and the eating to support it.
Built on Sri Lankan meals and the food you already buy. No imported shopping list.
Sleep, stress and daily movement — the parts that decide whether the training works.
The parts that never change
Before anything is written.
Reviewed and answered, every week.

Pricing depends on the programme and check-in frequency, and is covered on the free consultation once I know what you need.
Different starting points, different timelines, same process.

Twenty kilos down across five months of coaching, front and back.

Twenty kilos in five months, with the strength work kept in throughout.

Fifteen kilos in two months — a fast start, built on a plan he could repeat.

Five kilos over two months, training around a full working week.

Four kilos in two months, with visible change through the back and waist.

Four kilos inside the first four-week block.
Photos published with client consent. Results vary with starting point, adherence and time — nothing here is retouched or staged.
Twelve weeks, then another. Nobody on this page changed plans at week three.
Honest numbers every week, including the bad weeks. That is what makes adjustment possible.
Rice and curry stayed on the plate. Portions and timing changed instead.
I ask every client for an honest review when their block ends, good or bad. These are the ones they agreed to publish.
I had tried three diets before this. The difference was that Ranu asked what my week actually looks like before he wrote anything. First plan I ever finished.
The weekly check-in is the whole thing. Knowing someone is going to read my numbers on Sunday changed how I trained on Wednesday.
I could not gain weight for years. He worked out I was eating far less than I thought and rebuilt my meals around what I already liked.
No lectures when I had a bad week. He just adjusted the plan and told me what to focus on next. That is why I stayed.
No. Programmes are written for whatever you have — a full gym, a few dumbbells at home, or bodyweight only. Tell me what you have access to and the plan is built around it.
You get a nutrition structure built on Sri Lankan meals and your usual shopping, not a rigid menu you will abandon in a fortnight. Targets, portions and swaps.
Most clients notice changes in energy and strength within three to four weeks. Visible body composition change typically shows from week eight, depending on your starting point.
Twelve weeks is the standard block — long enough to see real change and to build the habits that hold it. Many clients continue after the first block.
Pricing depends on the programme and check-in frequency. We cover it on the free consultation, once I know what you actually need.
The first call is free and there is no pitch. We talk about your goal and I tell you honestly what it will take.
