𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 '𝗙𝗿𝗶𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗴𝘆𝗺'

A few months ago, I put a post on local groups asking if anyone would be interested in having a gym in Frizington.

As a result, a lot of people still think that's going ahead.

So this is just to clarify what is indeed happening 😊

The idea was to close my gym in Cleator Moor and move to Frizington Industrial Estate.

I had a unit ready to sign for, but there were a few 'red flags' popping up, of which I won't go into here.

In 18 years of owning businesses, I have taken risks and challenged myself constantly. However, it has also taught me that sometimes it's safer to read the signs.

With that in mind, I decided it wasn't the best idea to risk taking on the unit. But I had already handed in my tenancy notice at Cleator Moor...

Soooo....

Smaller space...bigger and better things for what I feel is the most important part of being a gym owner - face-to-face coaching.

While there won't be the 24/7 open gym access that I provided at Cleator Moor, I will be opening up more spaces for Small Group Coaching.

The 'New U Studio' is currently under preparation, with the planned launch date of 𝟮𝗻𝗱 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿.

While I mostly concentrate on helping women over 40 maintain muscle strength and bone density during menopause and beyond, I welcome interest from all ages and gender.

Exciting times ahead! 💕

With a background in CrossFit, and being very athletic at school before that, I used to think it was 'the norm' to run as fast as you can when you go for a run.

And that a slow run was called a jog. (Technically it is, but not necesarily these days, peeps. Let's boycott the term jog. But that's for another post.)

So if I wanted to go for a run, it had to be at a speed faster than, say 9 mins per mile. Or I felt like a failure.

However, in order to not feel like a failure, I would ironically feel like failing half way through, because a lot of the time, it was bloomin' horrid!

Felt great afterwards, but certainly not during! (Although you kind of lie to yourself afterwards and say you thoroughly enjoyed it... 😉😂)

It was actually training some of my clients through the Couch to 5K programme that taught me that it was possible to run comfortably.

Running with total beginners, at their pace, made me realise running is running (not jogging, no matter what the pace). I was running with them, and thoroughly enjoying it - all the way through!

So today, when starting a new programme which involves running, I set off on a 3 mile run at what I would have once called a 'snails pace'.

After not running for several months, especially not a whole 3 miles, I told myself I would just 'wun' - walk and run.

However, because I set off slowly, and not like I was back at school racing in the 100m (not bragging, but I always won... 😉😂), I didn't need to walk at all.

In fact, I enjoyed it...ALL THE WAY!

And I'm not getting het up about the number on Strava that shows me how long it took, or the one that shows me how fast (or slow) I went.

Because I ran 3 miles, and that was the task in hand.

And it was comfortable. I was able to smile and greet everyone I passed with a genuine, 'Good morning!'

So this is your reminder not to worry about those numbers either. You are running faster than the person sitting on their sofa in the house you just ran past. You are running faster than the person in the car that just drove past you, who could have probably walked to their destination but couldn't be bothered.

You are running.

“It’s not the same without you.” ❤️

One of my clients left this as feedback after completing her home workout this morning while we’re temporarily out of the gym during the move.

It made me smile, but feel quite sad at the same time!

While we're out of the gym, despite my clients' memberships being 'frozen', I have provided them with a home programme using exercises they already know, with guidance on sets, reps and progression.

But the feedback told me something very important and made me remember why I do what I do...

A Personal Trainer isn’t just someone who writes exercises down and tells you to do them.

We watch how you move.
We notice when something doesn’t look quite right.
We change the exercise, load or range when needed.
We know when you’re capable of a little more, and when today isn’t the day to push.
We remind you of the cues you’ve forgotten.
We encourage you when you’re doubting yourself.
We celebrate the little wins that you might not even notice.

And, importantly, we get to know you.

Online programmes and home workouts absolutely have their place, and this one is keeping everyone moving while we transition to the new studio.

But there is something very different about face-to-face coaching.

That’s why Small Group PT isn’t just a 'class' with a workout written on a board.

It’s personal training.

Missing them all already! 💔

Massive shout out to Esther, who is doing the Great North Run today!

Esther is my longest running client - she was with me one-to-one before transitioning with me into Small Group PT 🫶

Today she is challenging herself to go further than she's ever gone before, and completely step out of her comfort zone into the world's largest half marathon!

Have the best day, Esther! We're rooting for you from our nice easy yoga session this morning! 😉❤️

Loved listening to my clients in this morning's group telling each other how long they had been coming and the progress they have seen in themselves 🥰

One lady saying she caught herself in the mirror and was surprised (happy!) with what she saw in front of her, another saying she has been seeing results recently, despite getting off to a slow start, and another saying she is feeling so much stronger than she used to...

Made me warm inside. So proud of them 🫶

This is just one of the reasons I don’t call my Small Group PT sessions 'classes'.

Because they’re more than that.

It's 8:15am, and before this morning's deadlift session, I’m going through every client who is booked in and checking:

🏋️ What weight they lifted last time
📅 When they last deadlifted
🔢 How many times they’ve done the movement
📝 Any notes about their technique, confidence or injuries
👥 Who they’ll work well alongside
👀 Who might need a little more attention with their form today

This means that before anyone even walks through the door, I already have an idea of where they should start and what they may need from me.

Everyone may be doing deadlifts in the same session, but they aren’t simply following the same workout. Each person is coached as an individual, according to their own experience, ability and progress.

That’s the difference between a class and Small Group Personal Training.

I know my clients. I care about their progress, their safety and their confidence...each and every one of them. ❤️
