September always feels like a fresh start.
The holidays are over, routines return & like begins to settle again (for a little while anyway 🙄😂).
Instead of trying to change everything overnight, pick one thing you can stay consistent with this month. Small wins beat big overhauls every time.
In conversation with Ben, Head Coach at Ponteland 💛
Ask Ben what his favourite part of coaching is and he won’t tell you it’s programming sessions or counting reps.
He’ll tell you it’s the people.
Building relationships, seeing members grow in confidence and being part of their journey is what coaching is all about for him.
Would we lie to you? 👀
We’ve heard them all before…
“You need to get fit before joining a gym”
“If you’re not sore, it wasn’t a good workout”
…yada yada!
But which ones are actually true?
Play along with Ben and CJ, and let us know…how many did you get right? 👇
(p.s. sorry BBC, we borrowed the theme tune!)
Best not to ask Ben… 😂
For the actual membership breakdown, you’re much better off chatting to Chris.
Hot the link 🔗 in our bio and he’ll help you find the option that’s right for you.
Let’s talk menopause | Episode 3 💛
What if training wasn’t about looking different… but living better?
For many women, menopause changes the reason they exercise. The focus shifts from chasing aesthetics to building strength, protecting long-term health and feeling capable for the years ahead.
In this episode, Laura shares the mindset shift that’s changed her approach to training

Run clubs don’t have to be intimidating.
And after Saturday morning, we think we’ve proved it.
Exactly what we wanted: good people, different paces, plenty of enthusiasm, lots of smiles
If you’ve been thinking “I’d love to come, but I’m not really a runner…” this is your sign.
You don’t need to be the fastest.
You don’t need to know anyone.
You just need to turn up.
Back again next Saturday | Free to join | Link in bio.

If I was training, doing all the “right” things, and still felt like I wasn’t getting anywhere... I’d probably feel frustrated.
I’d question whether what I was doing was working.
I’d wonder if I needed to eat less, do more cardio or completely change my routine.
But then I’d remind myself of something we talk about all the time at The Confidence Coach...
Progress isn’t defined by a number on the scales.
So here’s what I’d do instead:
✓ Keep strength training 2-3 times a week.
✓ Stick to habits I can maintain, not a plan I can only follow for 8 weeks.
✓ Focus on getting stronger, not just lighter.
✓ Keep walking and moving every day.
✓ Eat enough protein and build meals around whole foods.
✓ Sleep well
✓ Stay patient. Progress isn’t always linear.
And here’s what I wouldn’t do...
✗ Panic.
✗ Slash my calories.
✗ Punish myself with extra exercise.
✗ Decide I’d failed.
Because the scales can’t tell me...
• If I’m stronger than I was a month ago.
• If I’ve got more energy.
• If I’m building muscle.
• If my clothes fit differently.
• Or if I’m creating habits that will still be there in five years’ time.
The goal was never just to weigh less.
It was to build a body that’s stronger, healthier and capable of supporting the life you want to live.
In conversation with Ross, our Head of Product & Education.
From how we coach to the biggest misconceptions about training at the TCC, here’s what he had to say.
A first look inside…👀
There is still plenty of work to do, but every great club starts somewhere.
