I’ve been training Emanuel for the best part of 5 years now so it meant a lot that he chose to come do his work placement here with me at .
Over the week we covered a number of different things:
• Exercise coaching & cueing
• Muscle groups & movement patterns
• Shadowing PT sessions
• Client consultations
• Programme design
• Nutrition basics
• Session planning & delivery
It was great to see him show a genuine interest in the coaching side of things and apply what he’d learned in practical situations throughout the week.
A really enjoyable few days and hopefully a valuable insight into the fitness industry.

Stop being so hard on yourself.
So many of you are doing so many things right.
But are hyper focusing on the one thing you did “wrong.”
Look, nobody’s perfect.
Your fat loss journey isn’t going to be straight forward.
You’re going to screw up.
And that’s absolutely fine.
What’s not fine is letting one small slip convince you that you’re failing.
One meal, one missed workout, one off day doesn’t erase all the good habits you’ve been building.
Give yourself credit for the things you ARE doing well.
The walks. The workouts. The better choices. The consistency you’ve shown.
Progress comes from what you do most of the time, not from being perfect all of the time.

Most people don’t fail fat loss, they just try to do too much too soon.
All in training plans, super strict diets, cutting everything they enjoy overnight.
What they don’t realise is they’re trying to undo years of habits in a matter of weeks.
That kind of pressure is what leads to burnout and falling off track completely.
Yes some people can flip the switch and nail it but most can’t.
And that’s not a lack of discipline it’s just reality.
Sustainable fat loss isn’t about turning your life upside down.
It’s more about building habits you can actually stick to.
Learning when to compromise and when to enjoy yourself is part of the process.
