A LITTLE BIT OF GOOD NEWS FOR MP PERSONAL TRAINING...

My brand-new Enhanced DBS certificate has arrived, and I'm pleased to say it's all clear (again)..

I've always taken the responsibility of working with children and families seriously, so although I've held an Enhanced DBS previously, it was linked to an organisation I no longer work with.

With the family side of MP Personal Training continuing to grow, I wanted to get everything updated independently and under my own business.

So that's now done.

New Enhanced DBS.
Child Workforce.
All clear.

Alongside being fully insured and having safeguarding procedures in place at my private studio in Hove, it's another bit of reassurance for parents trusting me to work with their children.

Children's 1:1 Personal Training, Parent & Child sessions and Family Fitness are all available from age 8+.

For me, it's not about having a certificate to stick on the wall. It's about making sure parents know that when they trust me with their family, I take that responsibility seriously.

23+ years in the fitness industry, and still making sure I'm doing things properly.

If you've been wondering whether some one-to-one support could help your child become a little more active, confident or comfortable with exercise, you're very welcome to get in touch for a chat.

No pressure and no hard sell — just a conversation to see whether what I offer at The Studio might be right for them.

THERE COULD BE 1,001 REASONS WHY YOU KEEP PUTTING YOURSELF LAST.

This is one reason not to.

For September, choose 3 x 60-minute Personal Training sessions for £99 — normally £150.

No big promises. No pressure.

Just an opportunity to stop putting yourself at the bottom of the pile, make some time for you, and start feeling a little more like you again.

Remaining September availability:

Thursday 10th: 3pm, 4pm, 5pm
Tuesday 15th: 3pm, 4pm, 6pm
Tuesday 22nd: 4pm, 5pm, 6pm
Thursday 24th: 5pm, 6pm
Tuesday 29th: 4pm, 6pm

💙 Pick your 3.
💙 Send me a DM.
💙 Let's get you started.

Parent & Child training is available too, or simply bring your child along if childcare is what's stopping you.

Your three sessions will take you through my full induction process — Consultation & Foundation, Movement Assessment and Personal Coaching — leaving you with a personalised workout to take away or a strong starting point if you decide you'd like to continue training with me.

Fully insured, Enhanced DBS certified and SEN friendly.

£99. 3 sessions. One reason to finally make some time for you.

ANYONE FANCY GIVING PILATES A GO?

I've got the opportunity to have someone offering 1:1 and partnered Pilates sessions from my private studio in Hove, and I'm looking for the first 5–10 people who might be interested.

Fridays are looking like the main option to get things started, with exact times depending on who's interested.

Fancy doing Pilates on your own, or perhaps with your partner or a mate?

Give me a shout below or drop me a message.

If we can get 5–10 of you interested, we'll get the ball rolling.

SEPTEMBER £99 OFFER — REMAINING AVAILABILITY

The first 3 sessions were snapped up through early access, but there are still some spaces available for my September offer.

3 x 60-minute Personal Training sessions for £99 — normally £150.

Simply choose ANY 3 from my remaining September availability, (found in the pinned post)

Your three sessions will take you through my full induction process — Consultation & Foundation, Movement Assessment and Personal Coaching — leaving you with a personalised workout to take away or a strong starting point if you decide you'd like to continue training with me.

And remember, childcare doesn't have to be a barrier. Children are welcome to come along with you, and Parent & Child training is also available.

Fully insured, Enhanced DBS certified and SEN friendly.

No long-term commitment.

Just DM me with your 3 preferred sessions and I'll get them reserved for you.

I'll keep this list updated as spaces are taken.

Once the remaining September spaces are gone, the £99 offer goes with them.

💥 SCHOOLS BACK. NOW IT'S YOUR TURN -
GET 3 x 60 MINUTE PERSONAL TRAINING SESSIONS FOR £99 — NORMALLY £150 💥

Schools are going back, routines are returning and, from one parent to another, maybe it's time to get a little bit of your time back too.

For September, I'm opening a VERY limited number of new-client spaces on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3pm onwards.

Perfect for parents after the school run, part-time workers, shift workers, or simply anyone whose working day doesn't fit the usual 9–5.

And this isn't simply three discounted workouts.

We'll work through my full three-stage induction process: Consultation & Foundation, Movement Assessment and Personal Coaching.

By the end, you'll have a much better understanding of where you're starting from and a personalised workout to take away with you — or a strong starting point if you decide you'd like to continue training with me.

And because these spaces are after the school run, childcare doesn't have to be a barrier. Children can safely come into the private studio with you, or ask me about using the offer for Parent & Child training.

I'm fully insured, Enhanced DBS certified and SEN friendly.

The £99 offer is strictly limited to my available Tuesday and Thursday spaces from 3pm onwards. Once they're filled, the offer closes.

Drop me a message if you'd like one.

WOULD 1:1 OR PARTNERED PILATES INTEREST YOU?

I'm looking at potentially adding something a little different to what we currently offer at the studio, and before anything is set in stone, I'd like to see whether there's some local interest.

I'm currently chatting with a Pilates instructor about the possibility of offering private 1:1 and partnered Pilates sessions from the studio here in Hove.

This wouldn't be a large group class. The idea would be to keep things much more personal, with the option of training individually or alongside a partner, friend or family member in a private studio environment.

At this stage, we're simply putting the feelers out. Days, times and availability haven't been confirmed yet, so there's absolutely no commitment — we'd just like to get an idea of who might be interested and what sort of demand there is locally.

So, if 1:1 Pilates is something you'd be interested in, or you'd like the idea of doing partnered Pilates with someone you know, please comment below or send me a message.

And if you know somebody locally who might be interested, feel free to tag them in the comments too.

I'll pass the interest on and, if there's enough demand to get things moving, I'll share more details once we have them.

MONDAY QUESTION FOR YOU...

We’re getting towards that point in the summer holidays where September doesn’t feel quite so far away anymore.

For a lot of people, September is actually a much more natural time for a fresh start than January. The kids go back to school, routines return, diaries become a little more predictable and suddenly there’s an opportunity to start thinking about yourself again.

The quote in the picture sums it up quite nicely...

“Without a plan you’re going to stay where you are. It’s time to make a move.”

But I’m interested in what that “move” would actually be for people locally.

If you could improve ONE thing about your health, fitness or general wellbeing between September and Christmas, what would it be?

Getting stronger? Moving without as many aches and pains? Having more energy? Losing some weight? Getting back into exercise after a long break? Or simply finding something you can realistically stick to around work and family life?

There’s no right or wrong answer, and you certainly don’t need to be training for a marathon or spending five days a week in a gym.

I’ve spent over 20 years working with people who all have very different starting points, so I’m genuinely interested to see what people are struggling with at the moment.

Drop yours in the comments below.

You never know, somebody else reading might be in exactly the same boat.

Morning from the sun trap...

I'm all set up and ready for a busy Thursday at the Studio, with 11 clients booked in throughout the day.

It might still be August and the middle of the school holidays, but September isn't actually that far away now.

So, if you've been thinking about getting back into a routine once the holidays are over, or you'd like to know what availability I still have for the remainder of August, feel free to drop me a message.

No hard sell, I'm simply happy to give you a heads-up on the days and times I currently have available.

Right... better get on with it. First client of the day won't train themselves.

Martin.
