Helping you build strength, confidence & fitness through personal training and Pilates.

There’s a difference between doing a workout and following a programme 👀

Could I come up with a completely different workout for you every time you walk into the gym?

Of course.

But that’s not how I like to coach.

Your training should have a purpose.

When I programme for a client, I’m considering their goals, training experience, ability, previous sessions and what we’re actually trying to achieve.

That means we can:

🏋️ Practise and improve exercise technique
📈 Gradually increase weights, reps or difficulty
📝 Track what you’ve done
🎯 Work towards your individual goals
🔄 Adapt the programme when we need to

And no — your workout doesn’t need to be completely different every week to keep your body “guessing”.

Repeating exercises gives you the opportunity to practise them, become more confident and actually see whether you’re progressing.

We’re not just exercising for a set amount time. We’re training towards something. 💪

How often should you actually strength train? 🤔

Do you need to be in the gym 5 days a week to get stronger?

Nope.

There’s no single training frequency that’s right for everyone.

How often you train will depend on your goals, experience, schedule, recovery and what other exercise you’re doing.

But for plenty of people, 2–3 well-structured strength sessions per week can be a really practical place to start.

And if you’ve only got time for twice a week? That’s okay too.

Two full-body sessions can be a great way to fit strength training into a busy week without feeling like you need to live in the gym.

More sessions aren’t automatically better.

What matters is having a programme that makes sense, gradually progresses and — most importantly — you can actually stick to.

Consistency > trying to create the “perfect” training week. 💪

Client spotlight: Melvyn & Nicola 💪❤️

These two have certainly been putting their training to good use!

Since starting personal training, husband-and-wife duo Melvyn and Nicola have worked on building their strength, fitness and confidence — both inside and outside the gym.

And between them, they’ve taken on quite the list of challenges…

🏃 5K races
🏃 10K races
🏃 Half marathons — Melvyn
🥾 Yorkshire Three Peaks — together
⛰️ National Three Peaks — Nicola
💪 Deadly Dozen — Nicola

And Melvyn’s currently working towards an even bigger one…

Chester Marathon this October! 🏃‍♂️

What I love most is that their training isn’t just about what they can do in the gym.

It’s helping them build the strength, fitness and confidence to go out and actually do things with it.

Run races. Climb mountains. Take on new challenges. And keep setting themselves the next goal.

That’s what training is all about 👏

Now we just need to get Melvyn through those 26.2 miles… 😂

My routine as a new mum 🤍

Right now, I aim for 2 runs + 2 strength sessions each week 🏃‍♀️🏋️‍♀️

My boyfriend does the same, which means between us we’re juggling 8 training sessions around work, childcare and family life. It takes some planning, plenty of swapping things around and occasionally calling in the grandparents! 😂

I also have my Tuesday walks with Wild Mums Crew 🌿 — a chance to get outside, move and have a chat with other mums.

My goals? Keep building my strength, improve my running, stay consistent and possibly… run a marathon 👀🏃‍♀️

Training isn’t always perfect, but that’s not the goal. It’s about finding a routine that works for me and my family. 🤍

“I’ll get a bit fitter first, then I’ll get a PT…”

You don’t need to. 🙌

Personal training isn’t something you have to get fit enough for first.

Whether you’re completely new to the gym, coming back after a break or simply not sure where to start, your training should meet you at your current level — not where you think you should be.

We start where you are and build from there. 💪

If this has been the thing stopping you from starting PT, drop me a message and we can chat about getting started.

Matwork vs Reformer Pilates — what’s actually the difference? 🤔

They’re both Pilates, but they can look and feel pretty different!

🧘 Matwork Pilates is performed primarily on a mat, using your body weight and gravity for resistance — sometimes with smaller pieces of equipment added in.

🤸 Reformer Pilates uses a specialist machine with a moving carriage, springs, straps and a footbar. The springs can provide both resistance AND assistance depending on the exercise.

But is Reformer automatically harder than Matwork?

Nope!

Both can be adapted, progressed and made more challenging depending on the exercise and the person doing it.

And you don’t necessarily need to choose between them.

The best option will depend on your goals, experience, preferences and what you actually enjoy doing.

Never tried Pilates before? That’s absolutely fine too — you don’t need to be flexible or already know what you’re doing before you start.

A little behind the scenes of what goes into planning a Reformer Pilates class ✨

There’s more to it than picking a few exercises and putting them together!

I think about the flow of the session, exercise selection, spring settings, transitions and how movements can be adapted or progressed depending on who I’m teaching.

Then, of course, I have to test it out myself. 👀

All so that when it’s time for your session, everything flows from one movement to the next as best it can.

What is Pilates actually good for? 🤔

Pilates sometimes gets reduced to “a bit of stretching” — but there’s a lot more to it than that.

Depending on how it’s programmed, Pilates can help you work on:

💪 Strength
🔥 Core strength & control
🧘 Mobility
⚖️ Balance & coordination
🧠 Body awareness & movement control

And you don’t have to choose between Pilates and other forms of exercise.

It can sit alongside strength training, running, sport or whatever else you enjoy doing.

We have a number Pilates classes throughout the week, alongside 1-to-1 and 2-to-1 sessions, so you can choose the format that works best for you.

You also don’t need to be flexible, have a strong core or know what you’re doing before you start — exercises can be adapted and progressed to suit your current ability.

Like any form of exercise, what you get from Pilates ultimately depends on what you do, how it’s programmed and what you’re trying to achieve.

What does 1-to-1 personal training actually include? 👀

Spoiler: it’s more than having someone stand next to you and count reps 😂

When you train 1-to-1 with me, your sessions are built around you — your goals, ability, experience and individual needs.

That can include:

🏋️ Exercise technique
📈 Progressive strength training
🏃 Fitness & goal-specific training
🧘 Mobility and movement
📊 Progress monitoring — including weight, measurements and testing if wanted
🥗 Nutritional guidance, if required
📱 Access to the Easy St. app to track your workouts and nutrition

The app also means I can see what you’re getting up to outside of our sessions, helping us look at your training as a whole rather than just the time you spend with me in the gym.

And importantly, I want you to understand why you’re doing what you’re doing.

My aim isn’t to make you dependent on having a PT forever. I want you to become more confident, capable and knowledgeable about your own training.

Come and train full body with me 💪

A little look at one of my full-body strength sessions 🏋️‍♀️

I currently strength train twice a week alongside my running, so full-body sessions are my go-to for making sure I’m hitting everything without spending every day in the gym.

Nothing fancy — just structured, progressive strength training that supports my running, keeps me strong and works around everything else I’ve got going on.

I’m actually on a deload week right now, so this is a throwback to one of my recent sessions — because recovery is part of the programme too!

Also featuring my first ever voiceover… turns out talking to my phone is significantly harder than talking to clients 😂 Please excuse how awful it is — we can only improve from here!

Run. Lift. Recover. Repeat. 🏃‍♀️💪
