Winning in your career - but not your health?

I help leaders who want to eat better, move more, sleep well, manage their stress and take control of their health and bodies —once and for all.

Hi there, I am Elan, founder of The Sleekgeek Health Revolution and Executive Health Coach. I am 48, a doting husband and dog-father to a beautiful Corgi – Queen Maggie. We are blessed to live on the beach front in Cape Town, South Africa.

When I started my health journey in 2011 at age 35, I was an executive in a listed company, a corporate big-wig. I was winning at work, but losing at life.

I had laser focus on my career but none on my health. With my family history, I was on a path to heart disease, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, strokes and more.

I decided to alter that path to a brighter future and realised that LIFE IS BETTER WHEN YOU ARE HEALTHY. It became my life’s mission to help others discover this.

Health is a habit.

You are what you repeatedly do.

I was repeatedly doing the wrong things. I was a chain-smoking corporate workaholic who never did any exercise and lived on junk food.

The truth is that the small things we do, day-in and day-out, really add up over time.

Health isn’t just something you get overnight. Rather, it’s a continuous practice. It’s something that requires consistent daily effort and repetition.

A collection of habits.

The foods you eat for lunch, the walks you take with family and friends on the weekend, the ways that you manage stress after a busy day at work… These are what add up and compound over time.

Show me your habits and I’ll show you your future.

The wrong habits erode health, happiness, and productivity day-by-day, while the right habits build you up, making health simple, do-able, and sustainable.

Think about where your current habits are taking you. Are you happy with that direction? If not, let’s make a change together. Small, consistent changes can transform your future. Even a slight shift in your daily habits can set you on a healthier path.

“Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement. Good habits make time your ally; bad habits make it your enemy. The habits you have now will shape your future.” – James Clear, Atomic Habits.

No need for perfection. No restrictive diets and crazy workout plans necessary.

What kind of a coach am I?

I’m not perfect. I’ve battled emotional eating along my journey. I’ve struggled with my mental health too. I understand how tough it is to build a healthy lifestyle in a busy, messy, complex life.

As a former executive, I understand what it is like to have massive pressure and responsibility in the workplace – dealing with big budgets, critical strategies and the livelihoods of many people. Not to mention demanding bosses and shareholders! I get it.

If you’re after a coach with chiseled abs who never touches chocolate, eats only organic and goes to bed at 7pm every night, I’m not your guy. Also, if you’re aiming for Ironman or bodybuilding competitions, also not me.

IF you want to ensure you have the vitality, energy, and good health to excel in all areas of your life without your health holding you back, I’m your man.

I am ALL about progress over perfection and helping clients to become consistent.

Empathy with accountability.

My coaching style is definitely not that of a drill sergeant. I won’t be policing or intentionally adding pressure to your life. Instead, I see myself as a guide and a partner. While I won’t let you off the hook, we’ll approach everything with empathy and a deep understanding of your individual circumstances. I will meet you were you are and go at your pace.

Unlike many coaches, I’m not here to make you more like me. My goal is to help you become the best version of yourself.

As a Certified Coach with Precision Nutrition (PN) in Canada —I’ve been trained by the best of the best, so I know what works. And through a science-based approach that’s been proven to work with over 100,000 people, I’ll help you finally get the results you want (and deserve).

Let's get results together.

“Elan is a true professional. He is deeply knowledgable on all aspects of health and wellbeing. He leverages practical frameworks and tools to set goals, prioritise and track progress. Tough yet fair, he is always available and non-judgemental. It was a pleasure to work with Elan, and I appreciate all he did for me on my wellness journey.”

― Steve F. (Canada)V. President

“Elan is so patient and kind but has a world of knowledge. I understand the concepts of what he taught me. It wasn’t just eat this and measure that. Little goals that were achievable. He takes a personal interest and is just as committed to you as you are to him. Elan has been the coach that stands out the most.”

― Jen V. (New Zealand) Business Owner

“Working with Elan has been an amazing experience - his knowledge and passion for fitness and wellness together with his professional and positive insights have given me much needed direction and helped me understand more about living a better balanced and healthy lifestyle.”

― Ryan A. (Cape Town) Finance Manager

"I first made contact with Elan to assist me with my weight loss and exercise journey - this was great success and I saw results quickly. His support in getting me on track, both mentally and physically had really changed my outlook on life. Elan is extremely patient, kind, offers sound guidance and I love that he is so REAL! He gently pushes you in the right direction offering support throughout. I could not recommend a better coach."

― Julia O. (Durban)Marketing Head

“Elan! After 2 years I broke the 100 mark this morning. 20kgs down, stopped drinking and mindset changed. I could just cry with happiness. You have helped me so much along my journey and I am so grateful. With this coaching I have made positive changes and built habits. I have never felt so good as I do now. Thank you.”

- Joanne P. (UK)HR Exec

"Elan is an exceptional health coach who comprehensively understands the challenges everyday individuals encounter with weight loss. He works with clients at their own pace and provides valuable feedback in a supportive and non-judgmental manner. His commitment to excellence and his respectful approach make him a standout in his field."
