The idea behind RLF

Fitness that builds a better life

Rather than trying to fit your life around a fitness programme, we use fitness to help you build a better life. Progression, consistency and better decisions — one day at a time.

What gets in the way

Work and a full calendar

You already know exercise is good for you. The problem is the week. We build a structured system that fits around demanding work, not one that demands your work fits around it.

About me

Hi, I’m Rikkos.

I’ve spent more than a decade working in fitness, coaching people from different backgrounds, with different goals, abilities and lifestyles.

Over the years I’ve learned that getting fit is rarely just about knowing what exercises to do. The real challenge is making fitness, recovery and healthy habits work alongside real life — busy schedules, work, relationships, travel, stress, lack of sleep, responsibilities, unexpected changes.

That’s what led me to create Real Life Fitness: something that looks beyond simply how your body looks and focuses on how you live, think, perform and feel.

“Νους Υγιής Εν Σώματι Υγιεί”

A healthy mind produces a healthy body.

Used intelligently, exercise can help us build discipline, improve our energy, manage stress, develop confidence and create better habits — ultimately helping us make better decisions in everyday life.

I don’t believe in chasing perfection. I believe in progression, consistency and making better decisions one day at a time. And that’s why Real Life Fitness exists.

We don’t go back. We go forwards.

Real lives, real progress

Thank you for having me Janick Couturier, Pronoia Boss Bali and team.

Better look after Rikkos or someone else will steal him! 😂 I’ve never met such a kind and effective trainer.

My stay was even better than I imagined and I’m so glad I decided to stay an extra week.

I left with my confidence back in the gym and a regular routine again. I did the HYROX conditioning session from my first week in my local gym today and felt like a badass, so thank you!

The quiet space also gave me exactly what I needed for my work and allowed my creativity to flow.

Wishing you all the very best and thank you for creating such a special place.

Renea

“I’ve never met such a kind and effective trainer.”

ReneaGuest, Pronoia Bali

I came here horribly unfit and 130kg 4.5 weeks ago. I leave today at 122kg and feeling brilliant.

I feel a huge difference in not only weight loss, but fat into muscle gain. Mentally I feel re-energised.

Overriding the mind time after time, week after week, through faith and drive.

Rikkos — brilliant doesn’t do you justice. You have helped me transform my life. You are truly one of God’s wonders. I cannot thank you enough.

I cannot thank everyone enough: from Janick’s help, advice and warmth, to Kat looking after me and DJ helping out and the breathwork classes. All the staff are brilliant and first class.

I’ve met many amazing guests along the way as well.

Pete

“I came here 130kg. I leave at 122kg and feeling brilliant.”

PeteGuest, Pronoia Bali

I recently spent seven days at Pronoia Lifestyle in Bali, and overall, it was a really positive and energising experience.

From the moment I arrived, the staff stood out for being incredibly friendly, warm, and genuinely welcoming.

Everyone made an effort to connect on a personal level, which created a comfortable and supportive environment right from the start.

They consistently greeted you with a warm smile, took the time to ask about your day, and were always up for a friendly chat, which made the experience feel especially personal and caring.

The retreat itself is well set up, with a lovely pool area that becomes a nice place to relax and recharge between sessions.

The real highlight, though, was the fitness program. Rikkos, the fitness coach, was exceptional.

He places a strong emphasis on proper technique and takes a very individualised approach, ensuring each person gets a functional, well-rounded workout.

He has a great way of motivating you — pushing you to challenge yourself while still keeping things positive and encouraging.

The program is clearly designed to cater to all fitness levels, and they genuinely meet you where you’re at.

Noah

“Rikkos, the fitness coach, was exceptional.”

NoahGuest, Pronoia Bali

The absolute standout for me, though, was Rikkos and the training.

With multiple injuries and relatively low fitness levels, I was apprehensive, but Rikkos created such a supportive, adaptive environment that everything felt scalable and achievable.

Form and safety were always paramount, while his encouragement gave me the confidence to safely discover just how much more I could do.

No two classes were the same — dynamic, creative and challenging. And who knew workouts that push you to your limits could actually be so much fun?!

What makes Rikkos particularly special is the inclusive community he creates. We genuinely felt like we were all in it together, encouraging and pushing each other.

In a world that can feel increasingly insular, that sense of connection is something quite rare.

Kate

“Everything felt scalable and achievable.”

KateGuest, Pronoia Bali

The training itself was next level. The workouts were challenging, exciting, and unbelievably effective.

I was shocked at how much progress I saw in just one week, both physically and mentally. It pushed me far beyond what I thought I was capable of.

A huge thank you to Kat for making my stay so smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable. You genuinely made everything feel so easy and special.

And an even bigger shoutout to Rikkos!! Hands down the best trainer I have ever had. He pushes you in the best possible way and shows you just how far you can really go.

I’ve never felt so proud of myself.

I will 100% be coming back, without a doubt. I couldn’t recommend this experience more.

If you’re thinking about it, do it. It will change you in the best way.

Thank you so much for everything.
