plan your training, gym routines, hiit, circuits and track workouts. Your fitness is a choice, you choose to take part or not

I've always loved the fitness industry, taking in all aspects of it like a sponge. So if i get to share that knowledge with others, well thats what All PTs should want. A client so impressed with their new found confidence that they spread the word of your service. Thats success...

Today’s workout was a reminder that strength is specific.

10 rounds of overhead presses, offset presses and standard weighted barbell presses. It felt rough. Not because I’ve lost strength, but because I simply haven’t been doing those movements. I’ve been focusing on other things, other challenges, and other ways of training.

That’s the reality of fitness. If you don’t use it, you don’t stay sharp at it.

I finished the session with plenty of bodyweight work and walked away knowing I’d put in a solid shift.

Not every workout is about smashing PBs. Sometimes it’s about exposing weaknesses, putting the work in, and building yourself back up.

Good session. Job done. On to the next one.

Vic said today: “No excuses.” And she meant it. Half term, two little girls in tow, but she still turned up, got involved, and put the work in. The girls joined in a little too and the whole session was brilliant to watch. Vic absolutely smashed herself through the paces, worked as hard as she could, and didn’t look for a single excuse,she just got it done. Massive respect. Well done, Vic 👏🏾💪🏾

Today Vic smash it, we used bands and body weight only. And we had a chat about training and I left her with….

People should stop obsessing over “lifting heavy.” The real key is resistance. Your body doesn’t know you’re lifting weights on a bar. Weights are resistance. Bands are resistance. Hills, sleds, stairs, sand, carries and bodyweight are all resistance. A mountain is resistance. Your body adapts to challenge and tension, not just heavy barbells. Heavy is relative. Bear crawl up Mount Everest and tell me bodyweight isn’t enough. Resistance training means any hard resistance training.

Don’t be fooled ……Science proves adaptation depends only on resistance and effort,

Noah had a football yesterday, so gym had to get done early. Figured I’d make it a chest and bench session and just go after it properly. Wanted more on the bar, but 120 was what moved today. Still happy though, 200 is still movable on the press, so there’s more there to come.

Had to rope Emma in just to stand by while I benched, and she was like, “What do you expect me to do?” 😂 But here’s the thing… if your spotter can fully lift the bar off you, then you’re probably not working hard enough. You want someone there for safety, not someone doing the rep for you. You still need to fight that weight yourself.

She did exactly what she needed to do. Brilliant spotter. Thank you,

Bootcamp was good tonight. Proper upper body blast. Respect to all of you for just getting stuck in, doing the work I asked of you and pushing through it all. Great turnout, great energy, and a lot of upper body punishment thrown into the mix tonight.

Love seeing everyone turn up, put the effort in, and keep improving week by week. Well done, everybody.
