Recently I found out that my client, Luke, had passed away. Calling him a "client" though doesn't do any justice whatsoever to who he really was to me or what he meant in my life. He may have started out as a client and that professional relationship may have continued, but it continued alongside a real friendship that we struck up pretty much instantly. He wasn't really a "client" at all, even if I was his PT, what he really was, was a true friend who I cared for deeply and I truly appreciated having in my life, and my heart is broken that he's suddenly gone.

One of the things I've always been grateful for in my career is the fantastic people I've met and the friends I've made along the way, and Luke was absolutely a perfect, shining example of that. A genuinely good, kind, caring and funny guy who I likely would have never had the pleasure and honour of knowing had I not pursued a career in fitness. I'm proud to have been his PT and to have seen him grow in the gym, but I am far, far prouder to simply be able to say and to know that Luke and I were mates, and even though he's not with us any more, we always will be now.

Something I'll never forget for the rest of my life is the legitimate joy and excitement he showed me when I told him I was going to become a dad for the first time. It was as passionate and real, probably more so, than any other person in my life. The way his face lit up, the way he immediately grabbed me and hugged me, and his words of congratulations and pure happiness will always stay with me. That tells you a lot about the man he was. He had a huge heart that regularly shone through.

Cherish your friends and the people you love and care for and your time with them, make that time, because you never know when those chances to talk to them and be with them might no longer be there.

Rest in peace, Luke. I expected we had so many more years ahead for our friendship to continue to grow and so many more laughs together to come, but I'll never forget you, I'll always miss you, and I'll make sure I get 100% on GTA 6 for you, like we were both so excited about.

Love you, mate. I desperately wish you were still here for me to tell you that. ❤️

PERSONAL PROGRESS 💪

Every summer I set myself the goal of getting into "the best shape of my life" - not just solely having the lowest bodyfat or the most muscle, but also feeling my healthiest, fittest and best in general - and, most years, I fail! 😂This year is the first in a long time where I feel as though I've actually reached that goal.

It's important to remember that measurably improving your fitness - whatever your fitness goals may be - is very much a marathon, not a sprint, and it will always have its ups and downs and set backs. Don't give yourself a hard time if you don't see the results you'd like as quickly as you hoped you might. Take it one step at a time, set realistic targets, keep consistent and eventually you'll reap the rewards.

👇 CLIENT TESTIMONIAL 💥

“As someone who had already been going to the gym for 5 years I was unsure how having PT could change what I was already doing. It only took an hour for Nathan to completely change my perspective on personal training and the benefits it has.

Nathan had such in-depth knowledge that you know you are getting the best guidance and result’s possible from each PT session. He motivates you and helps you push through each exercise; even when you don’t think you can do it. The encouragement he gives leaves you feeling motivated after each session.

I can’t recommend Nathan enough.”

WHAT ARE COMPOUND LIFTS AND HOW CAN THEY BENEFIT US❔🤔

Compound lifts – such as deadlifts, squats, shoulder press and bench press – are exercises that work more than one muscle group at a time, unlike isolation movements that target one very specific area. 🏋

These movements are excellent for building strength, burn more calories than isolation exercises due to recruiting more muscles, can be a time saver for people who’s schedule only allows for shorter workouts and/or less training days and can’t necessarily spend as much time with isolating muscles individually, and can even improve your cardiovascular health with the way they elevate your heart rate. Because these movements mimic a number of real-world movements, they are also beneficial to performing day to day tasks and can reduce the risk of injury.

We should always strive for our workouts to be well-rounded and varied if we want to maintain good health and reach our goals efficiently, and so incorporating compound lifts as part of your resistance training is essential if they’re not already a mainstay! 💪

"I'm so pleased to have found Nathan, he puts me at ease and I no longer feel self-conscious when exercising. I train with two other ladies and we are all at different levels of fitness. Nathan is able to cater for all our abilities and goals without detracting from the personal experience of the session and still making it fun for us all.

I have gained so much confidence thanks to Nathan and have fallen back in love with working out."

WHY IS REST & RECOVERY SO IMPORTANT TO REACHING OUR GOALS AND FOR OUR GENERAL HEALTH❔🤔

Whether it's rest between sets, rest days or sleep, recovery is a key component in our training and our overall wellbeing.

Whilst the correct rest periods between sets allow us to perform our workout optimally and reduces the risk of injury and fatigue, recovery days give our body and muscles the chance to repair properly from our exercise. Sleep is incredibly important for all sorts of reasons, from keeping our hormones and brain chemicals in balance, to allowing us the energy to get through the day. We can't survive without it!

Don't rush your sessions, take rest days as appropriate and don't force yourself to unnecessarily overtrain, and aim to get at least 8 hours sleep every night or as close as possible as your lifestyle allows. These are integral parts of the jigsaw in achieving your goals and feeling your best! 💪💥

“I wanted a personal trainer to get in shape for my wedding and honeymoon - I am so glad I had found Nathan; he understood my goals, understood I had never lifted weights before and understood my limits right away.

He took the time to explain and demonstrate moves and also why they will work and what benefit they will have to my goals. I felt so confident after the first session. Couldn’t recommend enough."

WHAT ARE REP RANGES AND WHY ARE THEY IMPORTANT❔🤔

When it comes to resistance training, our goals dictate which rep range we should mostly work within. Want to grow muscle? Then it’s no good doing light sets of 30. Want to improve your endurance? Lifting the heaviest weight you can for one rep isn’t going to help. Below is a simple breakdown of the basic rep ranges and what they're for:

1-5 reps: This rep range is about building pure strength and power (known as myofibril hypertrophy), less about muscle growth and size, and has basically no affect on "muscular endurance". Heavy weight (relative to you) and long rest periods of generally 3+ minutes.

6-15 reps: This rep range will still help to build strength to an extent, but focuses a lot more than the 1-5 range on muscle growth, known as sarcoplasmic hypertrophy. Most people will see the best growth from mainly working between 8-12 reps within this range, although variation and experimentation is sensible. Moderate weight (relative to you) and rest periods of 1-2 minutes.

Over 15 reps: Once we move above 15 reps, particularly as we move to 20+, the focus shifts a lot more towards muscular endurance – the ability of our muscles to perform over an extended period of time. With the focus on long term performance you won’t see any real strength or size gains in this range, but it will still help to “shape” the muscle. Lighter weight (relative to you) and rest periods of 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Build the basis of your training around the rep range that best fits what you're looking to achieve - whilst experimenting with the other ranges too if you want to be well rounded and keep shocking the muscles – and lift weights, with good technique, that challenge you within your chosen range, and you'll be on the path to reaching your goals! 🏋️🔥

👇 CLIENT TESTIMONIAL 💥

"I’ve always been conscious of exercise and nutrition, but never understood how to achieve measurable progress, until I started training with Nathan.

With the support of his specialist knowledge and bespoke training sessions, I am now starting to see real muscle growth.

Nathan is exceptional at understanding my goals and implementing training that is dynamic, and builds confidence."
