My story
Ronnie Coupland. My transformation.

- Valencia Marathon target
My personal transformation: 30kg down, and kept for over two years. Individual results vary.
I’m a senior international business executive, an author and the founder of Soul-Viva. I spend much of my life on planes and in hotels.
Before my transformation I was 30kg heavier, significantly less fit and struggling to put my own wellbeing anywhere near the top of the list. I changed that — feeling the difference in the first weeks.
I rebuilt my fitness, my routines, my discipline and my personal standards. Today I run competitively, train for marathons and have run a 5K in around 16 minutes 53 seconds. I’m preparing for the Valencia Marathon with an ambitious target of 2:49.
I didn’t discover a miracle. It took sustained effort, difficult decisions, consistency and plenty of adjustments. That is exactly why I believe it’s possible for you.
Orlando, then and now
Same conference. Same race. A different man.
At a corporate conference in Orlando, I ran the charity 5K in about 22 minutes. I’m returning 30kg lighter, aiming to run the same race in under 17 minutes.
Result to be added after the race.
Ronnie Coupland · My life now
More than a number on the scales.
Stronger in my body. More energy for my life. Better focus for my work. These are my own photos — the visible side of a change built through consistent effort.
More energy. Better focus.
My transformation reaches beyond training. The Energy Leaks framework and the everyday choices I share through Soul-Viva are part of my story — and inform the way I coach.
