💚 PROGRESS ISN’T ALWAYS ABOUT EXERCISE FEELING EASIER…

Sometimes, one of the best parts of coaching is noticing the progress an athlete might not yet recognise in themselves.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve watched one of our young athletes make huge strides in their fitness — particularly their running endurance and stamina. They’re now able to settle into a steadier pace and sustain it for longer, with a noticeable improvement in their overall capacity.

But here’s the interesting bit…

As we get fitter, exercise doesn’t always feel easier.

Why? Because as our capacity increases, we often naturally start working harder. We run a little faster. We go a little longer. We lift a little heavier. We challenge ourselves more.

So while it might still feel tough, what our body is capable of doing has changed enormously. 💪🏽

And the progress hasn’t just been physical.

I’ve also watched this young athlete grow in confidence — recently stepping into a new group, alongside athletes closer to their own age, and absolutely holding their own. 💚

Fitness. Confidence. Resilience. Belief.

THIS is why we train our young athletes. 🙌🏽

If you have a young person who would benefit from building their fitness, strength and confidence in a supportive training environment, drop The Athletes’ Club a message. 💚

For parents’ peace of mind, I hold an Enhanced DBS certificate on the Update Service and am certified in Safeguarding in Sport, helping me provide a safe, supportive and appropriately managed environment for the young people I coach.

This morning’s training was every bit as colourful and vibrant as this flavoursome cannellini bean salad I just refuelled with🥗🤤💚

Such a great morning of training with some of my absolute favourite client groups 💪🏽

Good energy, great people and plenty of movement — the BEST way to start the week! 💚

Back again on Tuesday 11th August 💪🏽

Our Young Athlete Fitness session returns next week, and we have just a couple of spaces remaining.

Whether your child is preparing for pre-season, staying active over the summer, or looking to improve their strength, speed and fitness, we’d love to have them join us.

📩 Get in touch to book your young athlete’s place before the remaining spaces are gone!

REST ISN’T LAZY. IT’S PART OF THE PLAN 💪🏽😴

We often think getting fitter means training harder and more often.

The reality? Your body doesn’t get stronger during training—it gets stronger when it has the opportunity to recover.

Recovery allows your muscles, joints and nervous system to repair, adapt and come back stronger. Without enough rest, progress slows, performance can suffer and your risk of injury increases.

Swipe through to discover why rest is one of the most powerful tools in your training programme ➡️

Whether you’re an athlete, a busy parent, or simply exercising to stay healthy, don’t underestimate the value of recovery.

Today we opened our doors to our Youth Athlete Training session, welcoming 11 young athletes through the gym.

They arrived full of energy and enthusiasm, and left feeling accomplished, challenged and proud of what they’d achieved💪🏽

From elite netballers, footballers, boxers and runners to some incredibly strong all-round athletes, it was fantastic to see such a variety of young people working hard together.

What stood out most wasn’t just their strength or fitness—it was their respect for coaching, their willingness to learn, and their understanding that improving performance means training beyond their chosen sport.

If today is anything to go by, the future of sport is in very good hands. What a generation of young sportsmen and sportswomen waiting in the wings, ready to make their mark.
That’s exactly what these sessions are about: building stronger, faster, more resilient athletes for whatever they love to do.

A huge well done to every single one of you. You were a pleasure to coach, and I look forward to coaching you next week! 👏🏽

If you have a young athlete who would benefit from off-season training, injury resilience, improved strength and conditioning, or simply becoming fitter and more confident, drop us a DM to book a trial.

Good morning, parents! ☀️
