Virtual Fitness · Est. Lagos

The body
is your first
asset.

One eight-week programme, written three ways. Run it in a gym, run it at home with a backpack and a doorway, or run it around a joint that needs looking after. Built in Lagos, used worldwide.

Ayo Balogun, Astro Bodyshop

One programme.
Three ways to run it.

Most people do not fail because they chose the wrong programme. They fail because they chose six, ran none of them, and lost the year. So there is one here. Eight weeks of training and measured eating that holds up whether you have a squat rack, a loaded backpack, or a pair of knees with history.

Three tracks, one book

Gym

Barbells, machines and cables. The main column is written for you.

Home

A loaded backpack and a set of bands. Same sets, same reps, same progression.

Joint-friendly

Kinder versions of the same movements, and you work one step further from your limit.

What eight weeks looks like

  • 01Weeks 1 to 3Five sessions a week. Legs, push, pull, legs again, then everything the first three days left behind. Learn the movements and put a little more weight on the bar each week.
  • 02Week 4Easy week. Drop one set from everything and keep the weights where they were. This is what lets the next three weeks be heavier.
  • 03Weeks 5 to 7Add a set to the first two exercises of each day and work at the bottom of each rep range with more weight on the bar.
  • 04Week 8Same again, but on the last set of your first exercise each day you push one step harder and find out what the eight weeks bought you.

What you get

  • 01The bookThe full eight weeks, the warm-up, the stretching routines, how to work out what to eat, and a logbook to fill in.
  • 02Numbers worked out from your bodyCalorie and protein targets you set yourself in ten minutes, and exactly what to change when the scale stops moving.
  • 03StretchingTen minutes after every session and a longer one on your days off. It came with the programme.
  • 04Every movement filmedEach exercise in the free library, in all three versions, with the cues that decide the rep.
  • 05A check-in with Ayo every SundayOn WhatsApp, for the full eight weeks. Any session, any lift, any number in the book.

See every movement before you pay.

All thirty-nine movements in the programme, each one in its gym, at-home and joint-friendly version, with the handful of cues that decide the rep. No login, no email, nothing held back. Clips go up as they are filmed.

Proof

Before Ayo coached anyone,
he trained himself.

Seven years between these two photographs. The same unglamorous work the programmes on this site are built from.

2019 Ayo Balogun in 2019, before seven years of training
2026 Ayo Balogun in 2026, after seven years of training

This is Ayo’s own transformation, not a client result. It took seven years of consistent training, and what it takes for you depends on your genetics, your consistency, your nutrition, your sleep and where you start from.

Questions

Which version should I run?

Got a gym? Run the gym column. Training with a backpack and some bands at home? Run the home column. Got a knee, shoulder, hip or back with history? Run the joint-friendly one. You are not locked in. Use the gym column on the days you get to a gym and the home column on the days you do not, and move a single exercise to its joint-friendly version if something starts complaining. All three are in the same book at no extra cost.

My knees are not what they were. Can I still do this?

That is what the joint-friendly column is for, and it is not the programme made easier. You work one step further from your limit on every set, the two leg days sit further apart because tendons take longer to bounce back than muscle does, and you score yourself out of eight before each session so you know exactly what to pull back on a bad day.

Do I need a gym?

No. The home column runs the same eight weeks with a loaded backpack and a set of bands. Same sets, same reps, same progress. Where you cannot add weight you add difficulty instead. Slow the lowering down, then add a pause, then go one limb at a time.

How do I receive the programme after payment?

Your download opens immediately after payment, in either currency. Card payments check out through Stripe, Naira payments through Paystack, and both send a receipt to your email. If a download ever fails to open, message Ayo and he’ll send the file straight over.

What do the weekly check-ins involve?

Four things, every Sunday, on WhatsApp. Your average weight for the week, what you hit on your first exercise each day, any session you missed, and anything that hurt. He reads it and comes back with what to change. It takes two minutes and it is the part of this you cannot get from a file.

I’m not in Nigeria. Can I still work with Ayo?

Yes. Ayo is based in Lagos (WAT) and works with clients worldwide. The programme is the same wherever you are, and live sessions are scheduled around your timezone.

What payment methods do you accept?

Card payments in USD via Stripe, and Naira payments via Paystack. Every checkout is handled by those providers. Your card details never touch this site.

Can I change or cancel a coaching or mobility session?

Message Ayo on WhatsApp. Every request is handled personally and quickly. Mobility sessions must be reserved at least 48 hours ahead. Coaching is billed monthly and you can cancel any time.
