Personal Training with Katy

Like so many others when I was diagnosed with PCOS ( pmos ) I was told the best thing I could do was go on contraception and lose weight….

That was it. No further referrals. Other than a follow up scan to confirm my cysts count ( although you don’t need to have cysts to get a diagnosis ).

I was told if I wanted children it would likely be a challenge and that If I struggled to conceive naturally past a year I would be eligible for nhs support.

No one explained to me that I could help ease symptoms. Or improve it through lifestyle choices.

When I started weight training that is when I really started to notice a difference.

So this is the one thing I wish was explained to me back in 2019. A simple lifestyle change that makes the biggest impact.

There will always be a reason to start tomorrow.

“I’ll start Monday fresh week “
“ I’ll start when work calms down”
“ I’ll start when I have more time “

The truth is there will always be chaos in your life fighting to take priority.

You don’t need a perfect diet, hours in the gym or motivation.

You just need to start.

It’s as simple as that. As daft as that sounds.

Start with a walk.
Start with 1 workout.
start with 1 better meal choice.

Small actions repeated consistently
Will take you far further then waiting for the “right” time. Cause the right time doesn’t exist.

Do it imperfectly.

Don’t wait for Monday. January or when you’re ready.

Start today. Focus on yoself and you’ll thank yourself years down the line.

Gym anxiety is normal.

From my experience of the last 3 years coaching on the gym floor i’ve noticed that the free weight section is what causes the biggest fears.

I get it, you have the big mirror, no machine to help you keep your form. Just you and the weights. It feels quite vulnerable 😂
Your first set is always wobbly, you may struggle to keep your arms in sinc. ( more so if your me 😂 ) and you may fight with the bench to get it to the right height. But all of this is ok. 🙌

We’ve all been there worrying whether we look like we know what we’re doing or if we look daft. And if everyone was being honest they would admit that too.

But in all seriousness no one is looking at you judging whether you’re doing it “perfect enough”. The person next to you is probably thinking the same thing.
Everyone started in the same place as you… as a newbie. You step foot into that gym and practise your routine every session. Each week trying to do better than the last.

I tell all my clients the gym is a hobbie you have to learn and put the time into. Practise, practise practise. Until you go in there, and it feels second nature. Then the only focus you have is making sure you push yourself as hard as possible each session.

I promise you no one is staring at you, thinking anything awful. The gym is one of the very few places that requires everyone in there to have one thing in common, and that is to prioritise making themselves better. It’s an environment built for growth and love. Not judgement.

So please dont let that voice in your head win. Walk in the doors, go to that free weights section and give it a go.
Wear headphones to keep your focus and distract yourself. Opt for quieter times whilst you build your confidence. Ask a member of staff for help if you need it, thats what we’re there for!

At some point it’ll feel like home and you’ll be so glad you stuck it out. And trust mem your future self will most definetly appreciate your courage. 🫶💪

For too long I felt like I had s**t self control. Or was “incapable”. Always starting off so strong, burning out and then wallowing.

So this is what I wish I seen a coach post, so I didn’t feel like I didn’t belong in the industry. Or like I couldn’t get my s**t together.

ADHD brains are wired different. Not wrong. Once you understand what works for you, you will be UNSTOPPABLE.

You just need someone to help you figure out what works for you.

I’ve coached many women with adhd , and given them pep talks many times about how they’re smashing it when they think they’re failing. Doubting themselves ready to give up. The right programme works. The right programme will make you feel like a different person. Consistency without the great big crash at the end.

This is me telling you adhd or not you absolutely can do it.

And if you need some help figuring that out dm me “ADHD” so we can get brainstorming together.

My Online coaching client decided she wanted to start experimenting with bigger movements as her confidence is growing within the gym.

So we booked a 1 off 1:1 to have some face to face time. Went through form on a couple exercises to make sure she’s getting the most out of them and then moved on to some new stuff. Including deadlifts 😎

Safe to say she absolutely smashed her first attempt!

We opted for these bigger compound
movements as they come with huge payoff.

They develop your posterior chain , core , grip strength but also overall strength. Using several large muscle groups at the same time means your working smarter in your fitness goals.

It also gives you a Wickid buzz and is perfect for those that are on a time crunch like my client who is a fellow mumma bear. 🐻

So ladies, don’t be afraid of the deadlifting stations … we deserve to be there too. And once you step foot In one I guarantee you’ll love it there 🤘🏋️

Just double checking …

There’s so much information online. And it’s daunting.

I remember starting out. Searching all sorts on TikTok , insta and saving videos.

Trouble is so much contradicts itself.

Consistency is the baseline for results.

Develop a plan and stick to it. Relentlessly.

That’s where results are born.

For more info on how I can support you dm me”September”.
