"Love this place, canโ€™t recommend it enough! Itโ€™s so beneficial to have Milo, Amy and Danny giving constructive feedback on your sessions, that it feels like you have a PT. Thereโ€™s always enough space and equipment, so youโ€™re not having to wait for people to finish before you start your program. For me, I wanted to ensure my time spent at the gym was being fully productive, so having an individually tailored program thatโ€™s tweaked weekly depending on your previous session makes perfect sense. Also love the friendly feel of the place. Some gyms can be a bit intimidating for beginners, or those that are unsure about the equipment, but Milo, Amy & Danny are always on hand to help out and impart their knowledge, and spot you where required. Really friendly, laid back approach but they do push you when required! Thanks guys!!"

Digging out an oldie but a goodie from the Milo archives ๐ŸŽฅ the footage may be vintage but the advice still checks out ๐Ÿ‘‡

Ever weighed yourself Saturday morning feeling amazing, then stepped on the scale Monday and wanted to cry? ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Meet Laura the plant ๐Ÿชด She's not "put on 2kg of fat" over the weekend โ€” she's just carrying the food, drinks and water she hasn't processed yet. Everything you eat and drink has weight until your body deals with it (yes, including that takeaway ๐Ÿ‘€).

Scale went up after a big weekend? Totally normal. Give it a few days before you panic.

๐Ÿ“Œ Save this for the next time the scale tries to ruin your Monday.

This is what training should actually look like. ๐ŸŽฏ

Your own individual programme, built around your goals โ€” but coached in the room, alongside other people, by someone who's actually watching your reps, adjusting your load, and knows your name.

Not a class where everyone does the same workout. Not solo PT where you're paying for every minute. PT-level coaching, at a fraction of the price.

Warming up for the last summer bank holiday ๐Ÿ˜

Carbs before = fuel. Carbs after = recovery. Both matter ๐Ÿš

Pre-workout (60-90 min out):

Go easy-digesting โ€” ripe banana, white rice, toast
Save oats/wholegrains/legumes for meals away from training โ€” they're still digesting when you start moving

Post-workout:

Faster-digesting carbs win here โ€” white rice, fruit, a sports drink
Pairs with protein to top glycogen back up quicker, especially after a hard session

Myth-bust:
The old "eat within 30 mins post-workout or lose your gains" rule? Science walked that back. Real window's more like a few hours โ€” especially if you ate well before training.

Bottom line:
Total daily intake > exact timing. Food type & timing are the fine-tuning, not the whole picture.

Fuel the work. Recover the work. ๐Ÿ’ช

"Since joining, Iโ€™ve made some really noticeable progress. My weight has come down from around 89kg to roughly 80kg while focusing on maintaining muscle and improving my overall body composition. The regular InBody scans have been particularly useful because you can actually see the changes happening rather than just relying on the number on the scales.
The gym itself has a great atmosphere, excellent equipment and feels much more personal than a typical commercial gym.
A special mention to Amy, who has been brilliant as my PT. Sheโ€™s knowledgeable, approachable and has really helped keep my training structured and moving in the right direction.
Really happy I joined OPEX Bristol and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a more personalised approach to their training and measurable results."

More weight doesnโ€™t always mean more progress. ๐Ÿ‘€

When it comes to resistance training, how you perform an exercise can be just as important as the weight on the bar.

Slowing down the eccentric (lowering) phase, controlling the movement and avoiding momentum can help you get more out of each rep โ€” rather than simply moving the weight from A to B.

If your goal is to build muscle, improve your body composition or simply get stronger, donโ€™t underestimate the value of quality reps.

You donโ€™t always need to add more weight. Sometimes you just need to make the weight youโ€™re already lifting work harder. ๐Ÿ’ช

Control the rep. Own the movement. Get more from your training.
