Following with interest.
I too was sucked in with Richie & Rachel. I followed from the beginning and got in early with them few years ago. I remember the falling out with the ex employee Munro fitness, they basically got taught him what to do then he set up in his own.

They are vile people, narcasistic and bullies.

Rachel gives me second hand embarrassment when she does these exercise videos, the shouting, the skimpy shorts and the acting. Glad I left before the whole app thing, I was in the Facebook group 3 years ago and there wasn't a fee

I think he tries to bamboozle people with all this stupid information, so when you say to him you are not losing, he will say, but you didnt hit your protein or your steps or whatever the excuse he wants to make for his 'plan' not working, its unachievable fòr many!!
I agree, and I also think he does it to be intimidating so people think he’s cleverer than them so are more willing to give him their money, whereas he hasn’t got any decent qualifications. He just regurgitates stuff he’s noted from online journals, 17 year olds do that when they go to college or uni! I also can’t believe Rachael left a career as a teacher to essentially be his shadow and bounce about talking on video. Yeah they seem to be making good money now but most of these things aren’t successfull long term and don’t promise stability. People are getting fed up of anything slimming related, especially now there are much bigger things to worry about due to covid. She should’ve kept some independence and made a life for herself that wasn’t 100% tied to him, it’s not particularly healthy anyway even when your partner is a kind, mentally stable person so it’s ridiculously unhealthy in their case!

I don’t want to sound cynical but this page seems to be turning into a giant advert for Preece Nutrition! What exactly does he do which is so amazing and different from all the other diet groups?!!

I’m going right near where the office/shop is for work in a couple of weeks. Really tempted to do a drive by and pelt it with doughnuts 😂
I seen on Instagram they have signs saying not to park in their spaces near their office. The sign says something like ''ya maw sells avon if ya park here''. I would rather sell Avon than be one of their affiliates promoting the chav.

This is the sort of thing that backfires on him - it's like when influencers talk about how horrible tattle is, it makes their wavering fans go "oh, someone else might think the way I do" and then they go hunting - I wonder how many people who saw that post went looking for those facebook groups.
Exactly, I only joined here after googling him and finding this thread as I just wanted to find out if other people felt the way I did after joining, other people will have the same doubts

It’s not a ‘normal’ way to be. I am all about trying to be good 80% of the time to try and keep on top of my weight but like you say, other factors can and will take priority. I also have at the back of my mind too, would I rather weigh another 15 less lbs and lead a miserable and obsessive existence or have fun going out socialising and not be sat there with a side salad and a water while everyone else has what they want.
You have the right outlook, that is the way to live life. We all need a balance, it is too far sometimes living for your steps and cals.

I think hes so controlling. Really regretting joining now. Have paid outtight so will follow plan but definitely not following their every move on fb. Its how he doesnt disclose what was said just how awful it is and how the fand rush to their aid despite not knowing them! Its how his personal life is splashed about and how he actually thinks tbe abuse and perfectionism as a result is a good thing (responsible morelling to clients there!). How when hes doi g videos its on rachels pglhpne and her mfp. I nust wonder how many boundaries rsxhel actually has. Poor thing. Hes a twat


If this was me, i would hate for 1000s of people to be told about this and showering me with Youre ao amazing platitudes as though they knew me - id rather forget the whole thing. Not have my twat of a boyfriend air my stuff in public


There are a few more people raising the point of free speecb and how petty it was and the potential consequences and how this is to be anticipated if you work in the public eye ... tons more richie fans arguing back but there are some sensible folk!

That last sentence sounds quite aggressive to me ...
Everyone loved Rachel?! It was him people were not so keen on. If she's getting grief (which I doubt she is) it's because she's involved with this utter fucktard. She'd have a much nicer life away from this aggressive, toxic, bullying knob

I have noticed a few long posts from members about how you have to put the graft in and stop making excuses ect. One from a member about how she gets her 15000 steps in working from home walking on the spot whilst taking her phone calls, running up and down stairs ect ect. I wonder if the favourites have been asked to post because the content from the owners is dire at the moment.

My best friend has just signed up, she's very headstrong so there's no telling her that he's a sh*thead but I do worry about her. She already has mental illness and I don't want him to make her worse.

This breaks my heart to read. I remember when it all kicked off with him and an ex-affiliate who had the balls to stick up for herself and Preece, that someone said they were in the 'bulk group' and were pretty much left to their own devices. No coaching and advised to use calipers. I was never going to get to that level but I'd had enough by the time he called time on the calorie clubs . X
Yeah it’s all absolute nonsense and lies. I got to a point where I felt like I couldn’t even eat this week, like I don’t know what to eat, is it too much, not enough? I’ll only know if I humiliate myself with callipers in my underwear. I feel empowered and like myself again now. I’m going to actually sleep tonight. I didn’t weigh myself, I didn’t log my steps I had fun and laughed and ate a decent amount that wasn’t prescribed to me, especially knowing how it just becomes guesswork in the end or repeatedly getting fat.

if you go back a year in the bulking group, all of them have disappeared, bar the one who had put on so much weight in such a short space of time it’s scary.

So has anyone else on here cancelled their direct debit and currently being hounded?
I did this last year and got hounded for 3 months. I emailed them and told them I wasn’t paying. They were absolute horrors!!

I did Munro fitness and I didn’t realise they used to work together, but what I liked about Munro was that in the fb group they genuinely seemed to care. He also seems to be doing more qualifications like the MNU so seems to have a better understanding of nutrition instead of just work outs!

I think something with teamrh would be good so new people can find it

Team RH: Tantrums, tears, rants and hairy minges?
Has to have their name in it or people will miss it and possibly not have the support and understanding we have needed after that place.

I was just reading old posts of theirs and I get the impression Rachael is estranged from her family? And he did a post about getting her away from toxic influences. God he really does seem a very controlling person. And he’s absolutely minging.

So you are encouraged to lose weight with his plan, then when you do, you're told to gain it back in muscle???
Yep! But then he says obviously some of it will spill over into fat... so then you cut it by dieting. It’s basically yo-yo dieting. It’s what body builders do. If you don’t want to be a body builder (like him and poor Rachael is forced to be) then tough, there’s no help for you.

I would post a pic to show you, but that’s unfair on the poor people being convinced it’s what’s best for them.
