In their words

He tells you what you need to hear.

“Austin always kept things straightforward and honest. He told me what I needed to hear and pushed me to be my best version of myself both inside and outside of the gym.”

Asher VanderWoude · client, now a Team Midnight Iron coach · themidnightiron.com

  • “…not only have I seen physical gains, but I have also seen a huge change in habits, lifestyle, and other things that have helped me create this lasting physique and permanent fat loss.”

    Berny Lawrence · themidnightiron.com

  • “Whenever I first came to Austin, I never thought I would end up on stage. … The potential has always been there; I just needed someone like Austin to give me a push.”

    Jett Traylor · themidnightiron.com

  • “Sure, you can try and do this bodybuilding stuff on your own, but the edge won’t come without someone like Austin in your corner.”

    Andrew Irving · themidnightiron.com

  • “Being able to see results, be stronger, and have knowledge of what I'm doing instead of just doing stuff just to do it.”

    Jalil Hayes · themidnightiron.com

  • “I'm maintaining sub 180 which is insane and I have not done since high school so just know you're actually a living legend for helping me get the right habits to set me up for long term success both in and out of bodybuilding”

Built for busy men

“We are looking for busy men over 25 who want to get in better shape for their families”Austin, on Instagram

Long days. Late dinners. Training is the first thing cut.

You know what to do. You've started over on a Monday more times than you'd admit. A new app, a new tub of protein, a 30-day plan that never made it to day 31.

It didn't fail because you're lazy. It failed because nobody was checking in when the week got hard.

Picture the opposite: a sustainable diet, a micro-habit system meant to keep working after the plan ends, and a coach looking at your numbers every week.

Four ways in. You don't have to want a stage.

  • 01Lifestyle

    For personal improvement, a special event, or your health. A sustainable diet, training adjusted each mesocycle, and a micro-habit system that keeps working after the plan ends.

  • 02Still figuring it out

    Not sure about competing? Get an honest assessment and still chase the physique you want: custom meal and macro plans, custom training, micro habits.

  • 03Contest prep

    For your bodybuilding show. Weekly nutrition, supplement and cardio adjustments, private posing lessons, a peak-week protocol with daily check-ins, and support through the whole show process.

  • 04Off-season

    For competitors between shows. Custom training and meal plans, posing feedback and private lessons, and help choosing your next show.

Length: 12, 16 or 20 weeks, 6 months, or 1 year. Price: not published. Apply, tell Austin your goal, and you'll get the details.

This is for you if

  • You'll report the bad weeks as honestly as the good ones.
  • You want habits that outlast the diet.
  • You'd rather hear the truth than a pep talk.
  • You're ready to put in relentless work, at your pace.

It isn't if

  • You're after a 30-day miracle.
  • You don't want to check in every week.
  • You want a plan someone else follows for you.
“Honesty with protocol is the most important. If you can’t be honest then a coach can’t help you.”Austin Green

How it starts

Three steps. The first one's today.

  1. ApplyA short application: your goal, what you eat now, your cardio, your training experience and which coach you want.
  2. Pick your length12, 16 or 20 weeks, 6 months, or a year, in the program that fits.
  3. Check in every weekYour plan gets adjusted as your body changes. Message your coach any time.

“First and foremost I want to give all the glory to my lord and savior Jesus Christ.”

Persevere and prosper

“Relentless work is your greatest investment in yourself.”

That's Austin's line. Your before photo is the hardest one to take. Apply, and the next one gets easier.
