Elevate your Life Group & Personal Training

🚨 Are You Over 25? Then You Need to Read This ...

Over the next three Sunday nights, I'll be sharing a short email series about something that affects every single one of us ...

What really happens to our bodies after the age of 25.

We'll cover things like:
💪 Why we naturally lose lean muscle as we get older.
📈 Why body fat often becomes easier to gain.
❤️ Why strength training isn't just about muscles—it's one of the best things you can do for your heart, bones and long-term health.
⏰ Why you don't need to spend hours in the gym to make a huge difference.

And most importantly...
✅ How 2–4 sessions a week, done consistently, can help you become stronger, healthier and set your future self up for success.

Whether you're already exercising, thinking about getting back into it, or you've never really known where to start, I think you'll get plenty of value from these emails.

📩 If you'd like to receive the series, simply send me a message with your email address and I'll add you to my email list.

I'd love to share them with you!

🎉 What a Way to Celebrate Turning 50!

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to my 50th Birthday Celebration Boot Camp this week.

It was such a fun night and one I'll remember for a long time!

One of the highlights for me was being able to jump in and train alongside each group throughout the session. I don't get the opportunity to do that very often, so it made the night even more special.

Thank you for all the birthday wishes, the laughs, the encouragement and, most importantly, for making EYL such an incredible community.

After more than 25 years as a Personal Trainer, it's nights like these that remind me why I still love what I do.

Here's to the next chapter... and yes, apparently 50 isn't old after all! 😄💪 However you'll be pleased to read I've got some great DOMs today 🤣🦵

Thank you all for helping make my birthday one to remember. I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to celebrate it with.

Matt

🚨 If you're waiting for a sign... this is it. 🚨

Maybe it's time to stop F'ing around... 😅 (Sorry for the F-bomb, but Harps has clearly been rubbing off on us!)

Here's the thing...

Muscle is king.

Whether you're in your 40s, 50s, 60s or beyond, if you've never exercised before, it's never too late to start. Or if you've let it slip, you can always choose to restart!

Building strength isn't just about looking better. It's about:

💪 Staying independent as you get older.
❤️ Improving your long-term health.
⚡ Having more energy for work, family and life.
😊 Feeling stronger, more confident and capable every day.

And here's the best part...

You don't need to train for hours every day or spend 7 days a week in the gym.

For most people, 2–3 sessions a week, done consistently, is enough to make a huge difference.

If you've been thinking about getting started, our 6 Week Group Starter is the perfect way to do it.

Whether you’ve been with us for a day, a week, a month, a year, a decade or in some cases even longer … I just want to say thank you.

Thank you for choosing to train with our Elevate Your Life community.

Thank you for the energy you bring to sessions.

Thank you for showing up for yourself and for each other.

I’m incredibly lucky that I get to do what I love every single day. And while there are many things and people I love deeply in my life, some of whom aren’t as present as I’d like them to be each day please know this:

The love I have never fades. 🧡💚

No matter what happens, my loving energy will always be here.

It’s how I operate.
It’s my essence.

It’s what I bring to this space, to these sessions, and to you.

It’s Not About Doing More ... It’s About Starting 💛

Over the past 48 hours, I’ve had some really lovely conversations with people who are thinking about starting training with us, as well as clients returning after a break.

And honestly this is the part of my work I love most.

Whether it’s personal training, group sessions, or a combination of both, there is always a way to fit some training into real life. It doesn’t have to look perfect, and it definitely doesn’t have to be hours of training, 7 days a week.

Even 1, 2, or 3 sessions a week can have such a positive impact on your health, fitness, energy, and how you feel day to day.

It’s about finding what works for you, right now and building from there.

If you’ve been thinking about starting …

Or starting again …

You’re not behind. You’re right on time 💛

Message or DM me if you’d like to chat about what might work for you.
