18 months of progress shown here by Nicola.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Nicola started working with me a month before the chaos started early last year, initially we were doing personal training on the gym floor then had to transition into a combination of online coaching and outdoor personal training sessions.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Nicola’s goal when she first committed to the coaching process was simply to be fit enough to last 10 minutes on the Rugby pitch as she had recently joined Dunfermline Rugby Club. Personal training has really allowed her to surpass that goal and achieve more than what she expected of herself.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From breathing practices combined with aerobic training and bodyweight exercises on the gym floor, she was able to adapt to at home, outdoor and online coaching which allowed her to continue progressing towards her goals and is now the strongest, fittest and most importantly happiest she has ever been physically.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I knew that improving her mindset and mental health was one of Nicola’s main goals behind working with me outside of the physical transformation. Nicola is now medication free and armed with a transformed mindset and education on health practices, a better relationship with food and further education on food choices to continue fuelling her physical and mental health to be at her best whilst working towards her future goals.

My personal training client Nicola showing you what’s achievable when your behaviours reflect your goals.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Nicola has improved her physical health and mental well-being, she now has an improved relationship with food, her body and physical ability. She has restored a regular menstrual cycle, and transformed her mindset which has allowed her to be one month free now of anti-depressants/anti-psychotic medication. I continue to watch Nicola progress each week mentally, and physically with her strength and performance in the gym, then lastly what you see above is -35KG in bodyweight which has all been achieved since the early months of 2020.

Many of you will only see the visual results but there are many more benefits to creating the best version of you🙏🏻

Spend time in an environment surrounded by people who are more experienced and knowledgeable than you and you’ll have the ability to progress very quickly.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Education will be a never ending journey for me. If you want to be the best, you’ve got to keep learning, practicing and applying daily.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Can’t thank , and the coaches at enough for the education and mentoring over the last twelve months.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Day one of is done, and I feel like I’ve gained a wealth of knowledge from yesterday alone.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Both and are seriously passionate about their area of expertise, the intelligent and scientific approach they take is fascinating and it’s an incredible opportunity to be able to learn from them.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Couldn’t be more excited for the weekend, it’s time for the practical days and to put what I learned yesterday into action🧠💪🏻

I want to share with you the start of my client Richard’s journey with me. I was lucky enough to meet him through a referral from one of my friends.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not only to congratulate him on his progress so far, but to highlight what’s possible if you do everything your coach asks of you. Providing your coach has the systems in place for you to do so of course.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the last 4 weeks, he has shown true commitment to becoming the best version of himself. He has lost 14lbs, he has reduced his chest, stomach, and right leg by a combined 8 inches, and added an inch to his arms. What’s truly inspirational is that he already carried out his own transformation journey before starting with me last month which puts him in a fantastic place to transform his body with me as his coach.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Credit when credits due. Compliance, consistency and hard work is what leads to the best results.

At the weekend I travelled down to for the first practical weekend of the personal training mentorship.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was hands down one of my favourite experiences of my career to date.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As I continue to strive towards becoming the best version of myself. It’s important I surround myself with those who will have a profound impact on me as an individual both personally and professionally, and place myself in environments that are in alignment with my values and goals.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Over the weekend my mind was filled with tons of value that I believe will have significant impact on my confidence as a coach and my ability to achieve results.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What I love about weekends like these, is that you don’t just absorb information. You get hands on with their clients and others coaches, in person mentoring, education and support from more experienced coaches who challenge your thought process and actions so you can become a better coach.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Personal and professional development continues to transform my life. Investing in yourself in priceless👊🏻

A fantastic start to personal training with my client Alix!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a result of her hard work, in only six weeks she has lost 11lbs and reduced her waist, legs and arms by a combined 15.7 inches.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Before I met Alix, she found it difficult to lose weight and had followed a variety of low calorie diets that didn’t work for her, alongside that she’d never been able to stick to an exercise routine.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Together we have placed a greater focus on improving her nutrition, she’s now eating a far more sustainable amount of calories. We are managing her stress and sleep better as she has a two year old child to look after, and are currently only doing three full body workouts each week which fit perfectly round her home/work life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Alix’s commitment to personal training, and her consistency will show. I’ve loved every minute of training her so far and I’m excited to see what we can do in the next few months.

Fantastic weekend spent in Nottingham at the ‘Training The Average Joe Client’ and ‘Training The Body Transformation Client’ seminars.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Throughout both days we learned about psychology and mindset, stress, sleep, digestion, nutrition and training for both types of clients. These are all areas I am eager to learn more about, and believe you need to be knowledgeable in to achieve the best results.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Theory weekends like these are all about absorbing the information, understanding where to apply it, and implementing what you’ve learned with clients, but only when necessary.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Can’t express my gratitude enough for education weekends like these held by Mark and the coaches at M10. They’re helping me level up as a coach so I can provide an excellent service from consultation to client transformation.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you and 👊🏻
