I'm Deji, founder of DB Gainz. Most programmes hand you a plan for 12 weeks and leave you to work out what comes next. I do it differently: every workout and meal plan is built around your life, and I explain the reasoning behind it, so your results last long after our coaching ends. Training is only one part of it. What you eat, how you sleep and how you handle a busy week matter just as much, so we work on all of them together. Whether you train at home, in the gym or while travelling, your plan, your check-ins and direct access to me all live in one app, with video calls when you need them.



You can lose fat and build muscle at the same time. It takes steady, progressive strength training plus enough protein to recover. This gym-based plan gives you 3–5 structured sessions a week, built around the big lifts that build the most muscle, and a meal plan set to your goal. As you get stronger, I update your training and nutrition so you keep progressing instead of hitting a plateau.

My most hands-on plan, open to a limited number of clients who want the fastest route to their physique goals. We speak twice a week, so I can check your form, adjust your plan and solve problems as they come up rather than weeks later. Your training, nutrition and recipes are built around your lifestyle, schedule and preferences, and they change as your body does.

Most people already know what they should be doing. The hard part is doing it consistently once the motivation wears off. This plan works on the habits and thinking behind your results: finding your "why", setting goals you will actually follow through on, and handling setbacks without giving up. You also get exercise and nutrition plans, so the mindset work turns into daily action.

Fat loss comes down to eating slightly less energy than you burn, consistently, for long enough. The diet that works is the one you can actually stick to. Instead of cutting out the foods you enjoy, we build a meal plan around how you already eat and set a realistic calorie target. Your training is designed to protect your muscle while you lose fat, so you end up leaner rather than just lighter. Weekly check-ins keep you accountable and let us adjust before progress stalls.

When it comes to fitness, I believe in sustainability over everything else. 12-week programmes and 90-day challenges can get results, but when they end, most people are left asking: what now? That's why I coach differently. Instead of just handing you a meal plan, I teach you how to build your own. Instead of just writing your workouts, I explain why each one is there. By the time we finish, you know how to keep progressing on your own. I founded DB Gainz in 2022. It has grown from personal coaching into the DB Gainz app, available on the App Store and Google Play, with clients training with me across several countries. I've also exhibited DB Gainz at FIBO in Cologne, one of the world's largest fitness trade shows. Today I'm based in Cape Town and coach clients all over the world.

Every plan includes video time with me each week to review your progress, check your technique and plan the week ahead.
The app tracks how consistently you train, eat and hit your targets week by week, so we can spot what's working and fix what isn't early.
Sync your fitness tracker to bring your steps, heart rate and workout data into the app, so I see the full picture of your week.
Share progress photos and measurements each week. They show changes the scale misses and tell us when it's time to adjust.
Your workouts change with your progress, feedback and schedule, so a busy week or a new personal best doesn't throw your plan off.
Your meal plan is built around foods you like, and I explain the reasoning behind it, so you learn to make good choices on your own.
How does online coaching with DB Gainz work?
Choose a plan, download the DB Gainz app and fill in a short questionnaire about your goals, schedule, training experience and the foods you like. Your personalised workouts and meal plan are ready in the app within 24–48 hours. From there you follow your plan, log your progress, check in every week and message me whenever you need to.
Which plan is right for me?
Get Shredded is for gym-goers who want to lose fat and build muscle. Weight Loss focuses on sustainable fat loss built around how you already eat. Mindset Coaching is for people who know what to do but struggle to stay consistent. One-on-One Personal Training is my most hands-on plan, with two video sessions a week. If you're unsure, message me and I'll point you to the right one.
I'm a complete beginner. Is this for me?
Yes. Your plan is built around your current level, so you start with what you can do and progress from there. I explain the reasoning behind every exercise and meal choice, so you learn as you go.
Do I need a gym?
Get Shredded is designed for the gym. For the other plans, your workouts are written around where you train and what equipment you have, whether that's a full gym, your home or a hotel room.
Will I have to give up the foods I love?
No. Your meal plan is built around foods you enjoy and comes with options you can swap between. A plan you can stick to beats a perfect plan you quit after two weeks.
