Fitness Inc.

This one came from one of our members in their weekly check-in form, when asked if they had any obstacles this coming week…

With a bank holiday weekend away, they were concerned about being tempted with a load of nice food, drinks and the potential ‘damage’ that would do to their progress

Here’s the thing, one weekend away isn’t much in the grand scheme of things… neither is a week away on holiday

In fact, they’re times to go and enjoy some nice food, a few drinks and relax

What matters more is that you eat normally before you go; decent amounts of protein, loads of colourful veggies, some fibre with meals and fruit as snacks and not being overly restrictive and starving yourself in anticipation of the weekend ahead…

Don’t go over the top while you’re away; eating for the sake of it, because you’ve restricted yourself beforehand…

Then get straight back into your normal eating and training routines as soon as you get back…

It’s just like with money; it’s a bigger ‘spend’, but if you’re sensible the rest of the time, don’t keep overspending, or being reckless with your money, then you won’t go overdrawn or into debt

Your diet should allow you to make progress in the gym, promote good health and look after your energy levels…

But still allow you to enjoy some good food with the family, or a few drinks with friends

Whenever you’re ready to start making some simple changes to build YOUR diet, to feel awesome and see the results you want from your training, drop us a DM

…

This is why we do it

We’re building somewhere to raise the standards in coaching and providing an environment where you can train, get results and enjoy it

Because there’s already too much misinformation, gimmicks, fads and poor quality training out there

Every time you step foot in the gym is an opportunity to show you how passionate we are about your health, fitness, results and how much we care

Whenever you’re ready to see this for yourself, drop us a DM and lets arrange a time for you to come down and have a chat

…

When you start training with us, there’s a few things you’ll probably notice…

1️⃣ You’re never on your own

You’re coached every session to make sure you’re moving well, with good technique and adequate challenge to stimulate adaptations in the muscles

We also check-in with you around sessions to make sure you feel supported with your nutrition and habit building outside of the gym

2️⃣ You don’t feel intimidated

We’re not a big commercial gym, where you’re left to it, on your own, amongst people who you feel like have been in the gym their whole lives

You’ll be with a small group of like minded people, who are there for similar reasons to you; to get fitter, stronger and to look and feel their best

3️⃣ You don’t need to know what you’re doing

Many of our members were just the same, they didn’t feel like they knew what to do in the gym, either

And you don’t need to… that’s what we’re here for; to guide you and build your confidence in the gym

4️⃣ Your is built for you

Just because you’re not training in a 1-1 session, it doesn’t mean the sessions are generic

Your programmes are suited to you, the way you move and what muscles or movements you need to strengthen

Outside the gym, we work with you to identify habits you need to build to make your diet work for you to get you results and fit in around work and family life

Whenever you’re ready to experience this for yourself, drop us a DM and lets have a chat about what you want to achieve and how we can help get you there

…

Getting in shape generally isn’t a knowledge problem… it’s a mindset and behavioural problem

You know you should be eating more veggies, fruit and snacking less on crisps, chocolate, and having fewer take outs and booze

You also know you should be in the gym 2-3x per week

*ok, there’s bits within that you could do with knowing more about to make the most of your time, but generally speaking, if you did more that stuff, you’d at least start to see results while you figured the rest out

The real issue is not having the systems in place to make a healthy diet and regular training stick when your busy with work and the kids put demands on your time

It’s not having the accountability to turn to to the gym on the days you don’t feel motivated

And it’s the all or nothing mindset that leaves you feeling like you’ve failed and have to start again next week, when that inevitable slip up occurs

That’s where we come in…

☑️ We’re here to help you build a plan that fits around work and family life
☑️ Work with you to form the habits you need to sustain your diet when life gets hectic
☑️ Hold you accountable to making time in your diary to get in the gym
☑️ And provide support at the times when things maybe don’t go quite to plan

Whenever you’re ready to get started, drop us a DM and let’s arrange a time to have a chat about what you’re looking to achieve and how we can help

As parents, we set the example for our kids

This was brought up by someone, in a consult yesterday, as one of the reasons they want to train…

And I’m fully on board with it

As a parent, I want my little girl to grow up seeing her parents going in the gym regularly, playing sport, eating a healthy diet and being active as part of the way they live their lives…

Rather than doing a 2-week juice diet and not eating in a drastic attempt to try and shift some fat before holiday

Getting in the gym regularly, following a structured and progressive training plan, that focuses on improving your movement, strength and aerobic fitness, also means you’re in better shape to make the most of the years chasing round with them and playing on holiday…

Whenever you’re ready to start setting the example to your kids, plus feel your stronger and fitter than ever, drop us a DM and let’s have a chat about how we can help

Small Group PT is NOT the same as classes

We provide a service, that’s built around you as an individual

We’re not about just getting you in the gym, making you sweat as much as possible for an hour, before sending you off until the next week

We want each session to be focused on you; helping you to move better, get stronger, feel more confident in what you’re doing in the gym and move you towards a fitter and healthier version of yourself

To do this each session has a focus; just because there’s more than one of you in the gym at one time, it doesn’t mean the exercises you do aren’t selected for you, your strengths, your weaknesses and designed to move you forwards

We could allow you to just drop in… in fact, we could probably make more sales by doing that

But we’re about diluting the quality of what we do and the results we get, in favour of making a few extra quid

Whenever you’re ready to see what we mean; drop us a DM and lets have a chat about what you’re looking to achieve and how our 6-Week Health and Fitness Experience might be just what you need

Life is busy

It’s unlikely you’re going to have the perfect week

So start being realistic and planning around what you have on with work, family and socially

Where can you get 2-3 quality workouts in?
Can you plan meals that are easy to cook, will work for the family and contain a decent amount of protein and veggies?
How can you create short cuts to make life easier to get everything done, while still being consistent with your diet and training?

This is what we work on with our members

Whenever you’re ready to get started building health and fitness into your lifestyle, drop us a DM and let’s get a time in the diary to have a chat about what you want to achieve and how we can help

3️⃣ Fundamentals that underpin every session we do with our members…

1️⃣ Move well

Training is about helping you to perform better in your life outside of the gym

Exercise selection should be aimed at helping you to improve movement and mobility to help you function better in your daily life

2️⃣ You need the right amount of challenge to illicit adaptations in muscles

You don’t need to be battered with weight, or doing millions of reps to complete failure, every session

It’s about moving with intent, control and getting the right amount of challenge to allow your body to recover, grow muscle and get stronger

3️⃣ Have fun

This is one of the best things about training in small groups, with like minded people, working towards similar outcomes… you can have a laugh and enjoy your training

Which is only going to help you become more consistent with your training, leading to better results

Whenever you’re ready to get started, drop us a DM and let’s have a chat about how we can apply this to you and your training

Sometimes you need a bit of tough love

Swipe ➡️ for some training advice you could probably do with hearing

…



You don’t need as much variety as you think

Your body doesn’t get stronger and fitter from random workouts and keeping your body guessing

Your body adapts from being exposed to the same stimulus, again and again, for a period of time

That’s why we want you to nail good quality movement, with adequate challenge, repeatedly each week

Chances are the exercises you don’t like (and keep being made to do) are the ones that target your weaknesses

That’s why we’re making you do them

To get you stronger, to help you move and perform better, outside of the gym

It’s not because we just like being horrible… though we may find your swearing and dramatic reactions to doing these exercise funny!?

Your favourite fitness guru on social media is probably telling you that supplement is a ‘game changer’ because they’re getting a kickback from it 💰

You’re not missing out on some magic pill

You’re missing consistency with your diet and training - nail that for a few weeks and months and watch the results 📈

There will 100% be days you don’t feel like training

You’ll feel tired, stressed from work, the kids might have you climbing the walls… turn up anyway

You don’t need to smash every session, you just need to show up, give what you have on that day, keep the streak going and not break the habit 👊🏻

Life is busy… I get it

Most of the people who get results are really busy as well

They’ve just worked at getting a structure in place that allows them to get in the gym a few times each week, plan and prep healthy meals in a convenient way, around work and family commitments

Whenever you’re ready to start being consistent with your diet and training… and to see the results that brings, drop us a DM and let’s have a chat
