Why Group Personal Training Works So Well After 40

Training on your own can be hard to stay motivated with.

Group Personal Training gives you the structure, coaching and accountability of personal training, with the added benefit of training alongside people around your age and ability.

🏋️ Expert coaching
👥 Small, supportive groups
🔥 Work hard without feeling intimidated
📈 Progress at your own pace
🤝 A social atmosphere that keeps you coming back

You don't need to be super fit to start.

You just need to start.

Breakfast isn't the most important meal of the day

For fat loss I find these options work best:

1. Skipping it

2. Having it protein only - protein shake, eggs or protein yoghurt for example

3. Making it 300ish calories

Works best in my experience for fat loss

Your up and about to get busy attacking the day.

A little bit of fuel works if you need to have a breakfast - out of habit usually.

Or in my case I like breakfast these days because I sit down with my family in the morning and have coffee/breakfast

It's routine.

But I find it helpful to also make use of being busy and getting into a calorie deficit early doors.

It sets the tone for the day

(I'm getting into a deficit/losing fat)

Then you can have a good nutrient dense lunch and a bigger dinner

Which if you have a family like myself tends to work best.

Having a good sized breakfast, lunch and then a family dinner

Especially if you want a TV snack 👀

Or a takeaway/meal out once a week

Or... a wee beverage 🍷 🍺 once a week

Will just make it difficult to be in a calorie deficit

So something has to give and breakfast is the easiest sacrifice in my opinion to help fat loss 😇

Coach Laura ran a mini league to shake things up and keep everyone motivated in July 🔥

Apparently competition got everyone working a bit harder.

Top of the table: Marie, Elaine, Izzy and Liz — well in! 🙌

This is exactly what group fitness is about.

Showing up, pushing yourselves, and having a laugh while you do it.

Strathaven squad getting it done inside the park.

We like to use resistance training because it works:

* builds lean muscle that supports joints and posture
* improves metabolism and body composition
* keeps you strong for everyday life, not just the gym
* helps reduce injury risk as you get older

And doing it outdoors adds another benefit

Fresh air, open space and terrain give us cardiovascular options/different angles to move and attack.

You move better, you feel better, and consistency becomes easier because it doesn’t feel like a chore.

This is what training should be — simple, structured, and effective.

If you’ve been stuck in a rut with exercise or nutrition and want to finally make a change, come try a session with us.

Drop me a message and we will get you in for 2 complimentary session 🤟

Morning on Prestwick Beach hits different.

Coach Lisa and the morning crew putting in work - no excuses, no perfect conditions, just showing up and getting it done.

This is what Banks Fit is really about.

Not waiting until you “feel ready” or trying to restart for the tenth time on a Monday.

It’s turning up when life is busy, motivation is low, and you’re stuck in a rut with training, food, or just your routine in general.

Because the truth is:

* you don’t need a perfect plan
* you don’t need to be “fit first”
* you just need a place that keeps you consistent

That’s what happens with us

Small group training, coached properly, everyone working at their own level, but all moving forward together.

If you’ve been thinking about making a change but keep putting it off… this is your sign.

Come join us. First step is just showing up.

Drop me a message and claim 2 complimentary sessions to get started this summer ☀️

Boxing at Banks Fit 🥊

One of the most fun ways to train… and one of the most effective.

Full body workout
Burns serious calories
Great for toning arms & shoulders
And a proper stress reliever too 😅

But the best part?

You’re not thrown into a scary gym environment.

We keep our sessions small (max 10 people), so you’re coached properly, go at your own pace, and actually enjoy it.

Most of our members are 40+ and just want to feel fitter, stronger, and more confident again—without the intimidation.

Come try it for yourself.

We’ll give you 2 complimentary sessions to see if it’s for you.

Most over 40s get weaker each passing year...

If you’re relying on random workouts or avoiding weights altogether, you’ll weaken each passing year and that quietly erodes quality of life

Why?

Stiffness
Injury risk
Aches
Etc

Here’s what proper strength training actually does for you:

1. Builds real, usable strength
So everyday things feel easier — lifting, carrying, moving without aches or hesitation.

2. Protects your body long-term
Stronger muscles = better joint support, fewer injuries, and staying independent as you age.

This isn’t about smashing yourself in the gym.

It’s about smart, structured training that works with your body — not against it.

If you want to feel strong again (or for the first time in years), this is your sign.

Message me if you want to come along for 2 complimentary small group personal training sessions in Prestwick or Strathaven.

Huge shoutout to Rhona in Prestwick 🙌

Who recently completed a Half Marathon in Paisley 🏃‍♀️

It wasn't that long ago a 5km park run was a solid achievement for Rhona.

She’s been putting in the work at Prestwick Small Group PT 3x per week 💪

Where we work on mobility, core, strength & cardio with our varied sessions (to keep things fun)

Her consistency has really paid off 😇

From not being a runner

From not being comfortable doing resistance training

To now running a half marathon and feeling fittest she ever has.

If you’re over 40 and want to improve your fitness, strength and mobility

Without going to a gym where your just a number

Or surrounded by young folk who are super fit or leave you like a fish out of water.

You can come along for 2 complimentary sessions at Prestwick or Strathaven.

Just drop me a message 👍
