Pip - The Movement Room

Pip - The Movement Room PT for anyone looking to ensure their body is “80 year old me” ready 💪🏻 through strength training and mobility. Ageing is inevitable, being “old” isn't. Running.

Strength. Mobility. Menopause informed and movement qualified coach. Online and in person. I work with women over 30 looking to look after themselves throughout the menopause and beyond to ensure that they are "80 year old me" ready through strength training, mobility and nutrition support. No gimmicks. No fads. No extremes. Just strategies and processes that work with your life and not against it

. Based at the Movement Room at York Eco Business Centre, which is a private, welcome and safe space for you.

You don’t need another supplement. You don’t need to cut out carbs or sugar. You don’t need to overhaul your entire life. You don’t need to take up an extreme workout programme.

You need a plan. That works with your life. That gives you options and flexibility. That is realistic. That is incremental and progressive. And that gives you the best possible chance of being consistent and changing your life forever.

Ready to do that?

I’ve not been able to run for 4 weeks, or do anything else other than upper body and physio exercises for 3 weeks. And boy do I bitch about it and make it known! And what it really has solidified for me is how much I get out of exercise, being active and general day to day movement. Without it my energy is lower even though I am doing less, I’m restless but motivation is pretty lacking, I am not sleeping as well, anxiety I have not felt in a long time is rearing it’s ugly head and my mood is lower, my skin is bad, I feel achey and stiff, I’m making poorer food choices (not eating enough, eating poorer quality food), my concentration is worse and it just generally makes life feel sh***er.

Does all that sound familiar? Well, I promise, YOU have the key to changing it. Routine, regular movement, a decent and structured workout programme, something to focus on and/or a goal to aim for, and good quality food to fuel it all. These are all things you have within your control to do. Do it to the best of your ability, do it consistently, and do it long term and you will feel the difference in your day to day life.

Stop seeing looking after yourself as something you HAVE to do, but something you GET to do. It really is a privilege. It really does work.

Client Spotlight

Meghan came to me after meeting with other PTs who were hell bent on focusing on fat loss, huge calorie deficits and doing before and after photos. None of which were things she wanted. After experiencing long covid, that crap is not what Meghan needed. So, we made a plan; progressively build up her fitness and strength again, work on addressing hypermobility in specific joints, and lifting some really fu***ng heavy stuff!

Now to get you back to tennis, continue increasing proprioception and a tability in joints, getting full range of movement back into squats and continuing to talk about country music, American vs British culture, and how to spot someone without being a damn creep!

What I also love is that Meghan brings her teenage daughter along to the gym which means she gets to see how damn cool it is to be strong and take care of yourself as a woman ❤️💪🏻

New Season. New Goals. New Plan.

Autumn is starting. Kids are going back to school. Routines will be settling. It’s time to get your ass in gear.

Did you promise yourself in January that you would make time for you, prioritise your workouts, and nail your nutrition? Have you managed to do it?

If the answer is no, you don’t need to change your goals, you need a new plan. A structure that works WITH your life. Habits you can embed into your day to day ALONGSIDE all the chaos. And a programme that will help you get the BASICS nailed. For good.

No fads. No over complicated nonsense. No generic one size fits all approach.

Just the basics. Built into day to day life. Made to work FOR you and your life, not against it.

Client Spotlight: Leigh Baker

Leigh shows up and gives it his all every week. He may have a few choice words and names for me as he does so, but no matter how hard I push him, he gives it everything every time. Leigh brings such a good attitude to sessions; he’s here to work hard, get the most out of sessions, keep chipping away at goals and progressing over time rather than expecting miracles overnight, and is committed to making changes for the long term, inside and outside of the gym. Despite life being tough at times, Leigh doesn’t use that as a reason to give up on his goals but uses that to fuel them instead.

I am so pleased with the progress Leigh has made. Growing in confidence, developing great technique, smashing PBs all the time, and trusting the process.

Not only that, Leigh has gone out of his way to be our unofficial handyman, curry provider and falls prevention officer.

I can’t wait to see how far Leigh can go. LFG.

5 reasons why “It’s not the right time” or “I’ll start when X happens” are excuses that you need to stop using.

1. There is never a good time. Life never slows down. Something will always get in the way. So start now and make it work with your life, as part of your life, for the long term.

2. Investing in yourself shouldn’t wait. Whether that means the actual financial cost, giving yourself permission to spend the time on workouts, or taking the time to plan meals and put some nutritious food in your body. If you haven’t done it by now, when will you?

3. You can’t create more time, but you can make a plan. A plan A for when things are ideal, and a plan B and C for when they aren’t. Can’t do a full workout at the gym, then do a 20 minute bodyweight workout at home. Can’t get to the supermarket to do a full shop, then have back up go to meals you can make by just going to the corner shop rather than getting a take away. Feeling really unmotivated and don’t want to do your workout, then just commit to doing two exercises. You’ll probably end up doing your full workout once you get going.

4. Waiting until you NEED to look after yourself is the wrong way round to do things. Don’t wait for a health scare, an injury, or until your 70s to start taking care of yourself. If you start now, you are more likely to avoid health issues, injuries and aging related health issues further down the line.

5. Along the same train of thought, what’s harder? Not being able to move independently in older age. Being frail. Having poor cardiovascular health. Needing a hip replacement in poor health. Drastically losing muscle mass and bone density. Or, biting the bullet, making a commitment and making the time to take care of yourself. Now.

No one is saying it’s easy. But not just starting now isn’t making it any easier. Is it?
