For years, Cam Woods’ favourite thing to do was to enjoy a beer at the pub after knocking off from a long FIFO shift.
But his love for a cold one was taking a toll on the 30-year-old tradie, and earlier this year he decided to give up the grog and trade in his bad habits for a new healthy lifestyle.
This week Cam, who appeared on the Channel Nine dating show in 2023, unveiled his remarkable transformation and it’s all thanks to transformative mental toughness program, 75 Hard.
Cam told Daily Mail he decided to overhaul his life after realising he was stuck in a rut.
‘I think the reason why I did 75 Hard is because I was just stuck in a pattern back at home where I was unfit, unhealthy and making bad choices,’ he admits.
‘Not bad like breaking the law – just unhealthy. I’d eat s*** food, drink a f*** tonne of beer, and really let loose. I obviously know how to party, but I needed to give myself a target.’

The 75 Hard program – made famous by US entrepreneur Andy Frisella – requires participants to follow a strict daily routine for 75 consecutive days.
It includes two workouts a day, a clean eating plan, reading 10 pages of a non-fiction book, drinking four litres of water, and zero alcohol or cheat meals.
For Cam, it’s been a game-changer.
‘I’m stubborn. So if people say I can’t do something, I want to prove them wrong,’ he says.
‘It’s been really good. I’ve been reading books, which, if you’d asked me a year ago, I would have told you to stick the book up your a***. But it’s opened my mind. I’m seeing things differently now and not jumping to conclusions. You can’t change people, and that’s okay.’
The program has kept him off the booze and in the best shape of his life.
‘I don’t think I’ll be drinking as much as I used to. Right now, I’m the fittest, healthiest and strongest I’ve ever been. I’m putting on a bit of size, eating heaps of food, and it’s all down to consistency,’ he says.
Cam’s routine is relentless – a morning gym session followed by an afternoon CrossFit workout, with occasional long walks thrown in.

‘It’s not always full-on intense training, but I move every day. That’s the point, just showing up for yourself,’ he explains.
With just under a month to go before he completes the challenge, Cam says the experience has not only reshaped his body but also his mindset.
‘This has been massive for me. I feel f***ing great,’ he says.
‘It’s not about looking like a Greek god – it’s about being the best version of yourself.’
Cam was brutally dumped by his bride Lyndall Grace during the final vows of his season on MAFS.
The Perth-based accountant told the carpenter she wanted to build a life she could be proud of – which ‘does not include’ him.
After listening to her vows through gritted teeth, Cam moved to take his notes out of his jacket pocket – but Lyndall stopped him and said: ‘I just feel like no matter what you say today, it’s going to disappoint me.’
