This might be a biased view but to me this is my absolute no.1 training tool.

Swipe to look at why 👉

Strength, power, containing, flexibility, grip.

Because of how it moves it allows you to do more.

Every muscle can be worked. Will you end up like a bodybuilder? Nope because it’s not built for bodybuilding.

BUTTTTTT it can help build muscle 💪🏻

If you have a weakness in movement patterns it will find it and expose it.

It’s a great assessment tool to show me where my clients are not as strong as they should be.

Core is the key principle in kettlebells.

A stable spine means less pain.
Is it hard? Yes.
Will it make you more whole? I know so!

You can take a kettlebell anywhere pretty much.

On holiday, work trip or even to the park.

Grip strength is a key indicator of longevity.

Kettlebells attack grip strength. Your Dr will thank you for it.

If you don’t have a lot of time a 15-30 minute session can easily planned. Effective when you need it most.

There is real skill in using kettlebells.

Don’t just copy from online. Someone should coach you even in the short term.

The skills transfer to other movements in real life. Plus it looks so cool.

Anyone can use kettlebells.

What I will say what everyone can do will be very dependant on the context.

Don’t expect to@be able to do everything you see online.

How you lift shopping.

Picking up your kids.

Reaching in your top cupboard.

That quick sprint to the bus.

You CAN help all these activities with the effects of using kettlebells.

The grit you have to find can be what makes you stronger mentally as well as physically.

I know I’ve gone on a lot about kettlebells but they changed my perspective on training WELL and WHOLESOME.

Get a certified coach because that can be the difference of your investment being wasted or not.

Opportunity or obstacle?

For me this is very much my home.

My place of sanctuary to better myself.

Bully my demons.

Better myself.

Create a better version of me.

Now… it doesn’t mean I think the gym is the perfect place for everyone. It can a place of judgement, false expectations and fear. This is all very much in THEIR heads. A false narrative especially in my gym.

My gym is so so good at creating a safe space to train and build a community of betterment.

Create a positive mindset to why you’re here. This is the backbone of your future self.

I see it all the time. A few things I really wish I stopped early on.

HIIT does absolutely nothing to fat loss.

The following is true:
1 - It makes you ravenous for food
2 - Makes you really tired (which leads to hunger)
3 - can lead to injury if overused as a tool. This leads to being lazy and not moving, Miserable and more likely to eat more.

The process of training strength should be enjoyed.

Add weight to your training regularly when you feel like it’s easy at the start. But just be mindful on your form.

Better form will lead to better muscle contractions and over time more muscle being built

Don’t push to your max EVERY time

Honestly 5 mins at the start 5-10 mins at the end should give you the feedback on how you’re feeling before you start and how your body is feeling after.

This puts blood into the joints and gives you less chance of being injured.

You know it’s good for you just do the best movements which reflect your training you’re about to do or just done.

Your sleep makes ALL the difference

If you don’t get a good nights sleep (I’m not on the back of the flu and my son keeping me up 😵‍💫) it stops:
❌ Controlling the hunger hormones
❌ Muscle building
❌ Likelihood of training at all
❌ Training becomes riskier and more likely to become injured

When you scroll you just waste so much opportunity. Socials drain your time.

Multiple sets without rest reduces overall gym session time.
Set a strict rest period on your watch/phone so you don’t look at your phone and next second 8 minutes go by.

BUT - if you record your sessions on your phone that is a great way to ensure you progress well 📱 📈

A similar narrative as we age.

Why have we lost the ability to move so freely?

Is it our seated lives, scrolling, watching Netflix, driving and even working which is causing this?

I have always been of the thought to watch my mobility over the last 15 years. Being able to squat down and play with my son on the beach without pain.

Now it’s not a boasting opportunity but more; are we training enough to move BETTER?

I’ll leave that to you to figure out.

1 main caveat; trauma in the Achilles / Calf (doesn’t mean it’s impossible) makes it a LOT harder to achieve deep squats.

I’ll cover how to get to achieve this soon.

Credit to for the visuals

This drill is tough but effective you must try it if you’re constantly fighting back pain.

Make sure you also try to raise the heel of the elevated foot higher whilst keeping the leg straight. It will force even more activation and balance.

If you’re willing to push through the failures on this I promise you it works ok!

Rowing is such a good way to train all over here

Learn from me how to be a better rower. Im no Olympian but I’ve rowed for over 4 years in a university setting.

No.1 - the foot plate in this setting allows you to get a better angle on the ball of your foot to apply more power 💥

No.2 - The resistance means the rate of which the air slows the fan! It doesn’t mean you’re a better rower it makes you less efficient! Trust me stick with 6-7. 📈

No.3 - have a plan. Go for the same distance or workout you’ve done before and beat it. Being random on here doesn’t help you get fitter. ✍️

Has this helped you?!?

Keep your weekends semi-active where you can.

I’m not a fat loss coach but looking after what you do outside of your gym sessions can be what makes the difference to your recovery and your overall body composition.

I really enjoyed this trip.

Rachel came to me nervous about training in a gym environment — it was all fairly new to her.

We started by building confidence in the basics and working on the areas that needed attention. What we discovered pretty quickly? She’s actually really strong. With consistent, focused work she’s built a level of resilience that’s been brilliant to watch.

I come to work every day with one intention — to help people become the best version of themselves. That genuinely gives me joy. Rachel is exactly the kind of client that reminds me why I do this.

But here’s the truth: you have to show up, even when you don’t want to. I provide the key — but you have to be the one to turn it.

Be like Rachel. 💪🏻
