Miriam Taylor Personal Trainer - Troon and me plotting all the horrible exercises we’re going to make you do in September 🤭

But all jokes aside, Miz was helping me with next month’s programming recently and said:

“I don’t think I ever realised how much goes into this.”

And it made me think that maybe you don’t either.

And actually… you shouldn’t have to.

Our job is to take the guesswork out of your training.

Across 60 coach-led sessions every week with an incredible team of coaches, we’re not just throwing together exercises that make a good workout.

We’re looking at the bigger picture.

What movements have we already used?
What needs more exposure?
How are we progressing them?
Push, pull, squat, hinge, single leg, trunk, rotation.
Sets, reps, tempo, rest.

Then there’s how you actually train.

Some of you are Monday-Wednesday-Friday people. Some work shifts. Some train consecutive days. For some, Thursday might be the first chance you’ve had to train all week.

So we don’t programme for the “perfect” training week.

We programme for real people with real lives.

And then there’s the coaching itself. We might write deadlift 3 x 8 but we have 6-16 people walking into that session could need 6-16 slightly different versions of it.

You don’t need to wonder what to train, how much to do, what you trained yesterday or whether you’re doing enough.

We’ve already thought about it.

You only see the workout.

We see the programme.

Your job?

Book in. Turn up. Let us coach you. 🩵

Some very lovely 🥰 fish finger tacos 🌮 await on the app for you for your next Friday takeaway or freeze meal

Meals don’t need to be complicated or made entirely from scratch to give your body what it needs. Fish fingers are a handy freezer option and can provide protein alongside nutrients such as vitamin B12 and some omega-3.

When you’re shopping, look for fish fingers made with around 60% fish fillet or more. Add some soft tacos and a colourful homemade coleslaw, and you’re also getting vegetables and fibre into your meal.

And, of course, a few wee chippies on the side… because what is life without a French fry or two?

Quick, balanced, affordable and something you can recreate with any other protein source. 🐟

Grateful to be here 💙

There are some things you just can’t put a price on.

Helping someone feel seen.

Watching someone feel proud of themselves simply for showing up.

Creating a space where people feel welcomed, supported and like they truly belong.

Helping people recognise their own strength and feel a little more at home in their body.

That’s what we hope to create at HQ, and it will always mean more than any number on a spreadsheet. 💙

Our August Member of the Month is the wonderful Jacqui 💙🙌

Jacqui is one of those members we always say is “in with the bricks” at HQ. She has been part of our community since we first opened our doors, after her lovely daughters gave her the gift of fitness for Christmas way back in 2022.

You’ll regularly find her as part of our Tuesday 6am team, as well as joining in with the Thursday morning madness with Miz, always willing to work hard and push herself to her limits.

She always keep us on our toes and we wouldn’t have it any other way ☺️👏
