🔥 WEDNESDAY WORKOUT | TRYKA 🔥

Have you tried a TRYKA class at Clan Fitness yet? 👀

If you're looking for a new challenge, come in and give it a go! 💪 Our TRYKA sessions are designed to get you race-ready while building your strength, fitness, endurance and confidence.

We run TRYKA classes at Clan Fitness Monday, Wednesday & Saturday, so there are plenty of opportunities to get involved.

A pleasure to have these lads in again 💪🏼🔥

📝 Sometimes, the best place to start is by writing it down.

When you feel like you're struggling with your diet, exercise or just finding a healthy routine, don't feel like you need to change everything overnight.

Grab your phone and open your Notes app… or go old school with a pen and notebook! ✍️

For a week, simply write down:
🥗 What you're eating and drinking
🏋️‍♀️ What exercise you're doing
🚶‍♀️ How active you're being
😴 How you're sleeping
💭 How you're feeling

Then take a look back.

You might start to notice some simple patterns, and that's where you can make small, realistic changes. Maybe an extra walk, a better breakfast, more water, or getting yourself into a regular class routine.

You don't have to be perfect. You just need to find the next small change that moves you closer to your goal. 💪

Small changes + consistency = progress.

And remember, your goal doesn't have to be about the number on the scales. It can be about feeling stronger, fitter, healthier and more confident in yourself. ❤️

🔥 SHOUTOUT SUNDAY | 100 CLASSES! 🔥

A massive congratulations to Lee Kavanagh on reaching an incredible 100 classes at Clan Fitness! 💪🏼🎉

And Lee’s testimonial says it all…

💬 “Thanks to Clan Fitness I’ve gone from making excuses not to train to trying to find reasons to go to the gym. It has completely changed me.”

That is exactly what we love to hear. 🙌

It’s not about being motivated every single day, it’s about building a routine, finding a community that supports you and turning up consistently.

Lee also gave a huge shoutout to our coaches and members:

💬 “All the coaches and other members are very supportive while making sure you push yourself.”

100 classes is a serious achievement! 👊🏼

🍳 CLAN KITCHEN | WEEKEND BREAKFAST TREAT 🥓

Who says a healthy weekend breakfast has to be boring? 👀

Sometimes you just want a proper cooked breakfast, and you absolutely can enjoy one while still working towards your goals. 💪

Try our healthier breakfast plate this weekend:

🥚 2 eggs, poached, scrambled or lightly fried
🥓 2 lean bacon medallions, grilled instead of fried
🍅 Grilled tomatoes
🍄 Mushrooms
🫘 Baked beans
🍞 A slice of wholegrain toast

Simple, filling and packed with protein, vegetables and plenty of flavour. 🙌

The trick isn't about completely cutting out the foods you enjoy, it's about making a few simple swaps and building a balanced plate.

👉 Grill instead of fry
👉 Add plenty of veggies
👉 Choose wholegrain where possible
👉 Include a good source of protein
👉 And most importantly… ENJOY YOUR BREAKFAST! ❤️

Because healthy eating needs to be something you can actually stick to, weekends included!

So, what's going on your breakfast plate this weekend? 👇

🌮🍛 CLAN KITCHEN | 2 HEALTHY & GLUTEN-FREE DINNER IDEAS 🍛🌮
Eating well doesn't have to mean eating boring food! 😋

We've got two easy, protein-packed recipes for you to try this week, perfect for a healthy midweek dinner and great for the whole family.

🌮 MEXICAN CHICKEN BOWLS

Packed with protein, colourful veggies and plenty of Mexican flavour!

✨ Chicken breast
✨ Brown or basmati rice
✨ Peppers & red onion
✨ Black beans & sweetcorn
✨ Fresh tomato & avocado
✨ Salsa, Greek yoghurt & lime

Season your chicken with smoked paprika, cumin, garlic, chilli and oregano, then pan-fry until golden and cooked through. Sauté your peppers and onion, warm your beans and sweetcorn, then layer everything into a bowl with rice. Finish with salsa, Greek yoghurt, avocado and a squeeze of fresh lime. 🍋‍🟩

🍛 HEALTHY CHICKEN CURRY

A lighter curry that's packed with chicken and vegetables without sacrificing flavour!

✨ Chicken breast
✨ Onion, garlic & fresh ginger
✨ Peppers & courgette
✨ Chopped tomatoes
✨ Light coconut milk
✨ Curry powder, turmeric, cumin & coriander
✨ Fresh spinach & coriander

Cook your onion, garlic and ginger, add your spices, then brown the chicken. Add the vegetables, tomatoes, coconut milk and stock and let everything gently simmer until the chicken is cooked and the sauce has thickened. Stir through some fresh spinach at the end and serve with basmati rice. 🍚

Both are great for healthy family dinners, meal prep or simply switching up your usual midweek meals! ❤️

🎉 50 Classes Strong! 🎉
A huge congratulations to Leanne Ryan on reaching an incredible milestone of 50 classes at Clan Fitness! 💪🔥

Here's what Leanne had to say:

"I can't believe I've reached 50 classes so quickly, the time has flown by but the classes never feel like a chore. Spin was a major no no for me before but I love the heated spin, the music, class length and Warren's instruction are all fantastic. The other members are so friendly and welcoming and there's always a great buzz in the classes. Here's to the next 50!"

We're delighted to hear how much you're enjoying your fitness journey, Leanne. From avoiding spin classes to loving every session, your progress is a testament to what consistency, a supportive community, and a positive mindset can achieve. 👏

Thank you for being part of the Clan Fitness family. Here's to the next 50 classes and beyond! 🚴‍♀️🔥
