Fitness looks different to me now!
When I was a personal trainer when I was younger, I think I saw exercise very differently.
Back then, it was so much about how you looked.
Losing weight.
Getting toned.
Looking a certain way.
Chasing that “perfect” body.
And honestly, I think a lot of the fitness industry was focused on exactly the same thing.
But as I’ve got older, my perspective has completely changed.
Exercise is about so much more than how you look.
It’s about feeling strong.
Having energy.
Looking after your heart and your health.
Keeping your body mobile and capable.
Supporting your mental health.
Sleeping better.
Building confidence.
And being able to enjoy life without your body holding you back.
Of course, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to change how you look, if that’s your goal, that’s absolutely okay.
But I no longer believe that should be the only reason we exercise.
I want my clients to feel stronger, healthier, happier and more confident, not just smaller.
Because the older I get, the more I realise that fitness isn’t about creating a body that simply looks good.
It’s about creating a body that allows you to live a good life. 💪
And that, to me, is so much more important.
