James Rankin — Founder of TradieFit

Our Story

Built by a Tradie, for Tradies.

I'm James Rankin. I spent years on the tools — early starts, long days, eating whatever was quick, and wondering why I felt like rubbish by Friday.

Every fitness app I tried was built for people who sit at a desk and have two hours a day to meal prep. None of them got it. So I built something that does.

30-Day Guarantee
200+tradies transformed

You know the drill. Up at five, on site by six, smashing it all day in all weather. By the time you get home you're absolutely cooked — the last thing you want to do is weigh your chicken and do burpees in the living room. The pie van at smoko isn't helping either, but what else is there when you've got ten minutes and need 800 calories?

The fitness industry doesn't get tradies. It's built for gym rats, PTs, and blokes with unlimited free time. The meal plans assume you've got a full kitchen and an hour to cook. The workout plans assume you've got a gym membership and fresh legs. Neither is real life on the tools.

TradieFit gives you practical meal plans, gym programs and shopping lists around your schedule — shift work, physical load and what's actually in the supermarket near you. When you want more support, James adds clear accountability and helps you make the plan work in real life.

Our mission: help every tradie in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand feel strong, eat well, and stop feeling like the hardest part of the day is getting off the couch.
