Getting stronger as you get older is honestly a superpower

I could tell you how from the age of 50 onwards how hard it is to maintain muscle mass, strength, and endurance.

But you probably already know that.

What you dont know is how much more control over life you could have, how good moving pain free feels, how it feels to not get half way through the day and not feel entirely wiped out.

Our members tell us on a near weekly basis how starting weight training has improved their quality of life in some way, every one a slight variation of the other and specific to them and their lifestyle.

So think to yourself, what physical qualities are holding you back from how you want to spend the next 10 years?

And if i told you a couple hours a week could get you there, how would you feel?

If you want to know how we help our clients move and feel the best they ever have, then book a free No-Sweat Intro today via the link in our bio 🙏

MEET OUR NEW TEAM MEMBER💪🔥

Alysha

We are delighted to have Alysha join our coaching team, bringing incredible experience and care to our growing client base🙌🏼

Here is a bit about our top coach joining the team at Platform:

‘As a Strength & Conditioning Coach, my goal is to empower you to build strength - not only physically, but mentally too.

With 8 years of experience in the gym, I can meet you wherever you are in your fitness journey, whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to improve your sports performance.

I understand how intimidating the gym can feel, especially as a woman. That’s why I’ll work at your pace, help you feel comfortable, and create an environment where you can build confidence alongside your strength.

With a background in Strongwoman, I’ve experienced first-hand how training can build resilience, confidence and strength that extends far beyond the gym and into everyday life.‘

We spend too much time waiting to feel ready.

Ready to start.

Ready to be stronger

Ready to be more confident

The truth is, most of that comes after you begin.

One session becomes two

Two becomes a routine

And before you know it, you’re doing things you once thought were impossible.

Here’s to showing up, even before you feel ready

Staring at a rack of dumbbells and having zero clue which ones to pick up? This is a common thing when you first start training.

You pick up the 5kg weights and feel like you're lifting air. Then you grab the 10kgs, your eyes bulge out, and you start rattling 🤣

Finding the right weight for an exercise when you are starting out is tricky, but remember, you're not trying to test your absolute limits or ending up so sore you can'twash your hair for a week. The goal is simple: pick a weight where the last couple of reps feels challenging, but your form stays clean.

If a set feels like absolute light work, take the weight up. If you're grunting, holding your breath, or folding like a pretzel just to finish a rep, it'sprobablytime to take the weight down...

Now hopefully picking the right weight doesn't seem as complicated, but if you're still unsure, get yourself down to Platform. We take out the guess work, we stand right there with you to find your baseline, so you can train safely and effectively.

If you think you need that extra guidance, then book a free No Sweat Intro using the link in our bio. See you soon 😎

For many people walking into a gym can feel overwhelming.
Not only because of being around other people but also because the common fear is getting hurt.

As a coach one of the most important things I want to create is safe, judgmental free environment.

That means :
⭐️We will start at the pace that feels comfortable for you
⭐️Teaching you proper technique so you understand how to perform each exercise safely
⭐️there is no pressure to lift heavy or do exercises you are not ready for
⭐️we will build your confidence gradually
⭐️you will always feel supported , never judged
⭐️we work at your pace and celebrate your own wins
⭐️no pressure to push through pain training should challenge you but pain is something we pay attention to

You do not have to be fearless to start you just need someone who makes you feel safe and supported 🥰

Client Win – Katie 💪

5kg down!

Massive shout out to Katie for absolutely smashing her goal before her holiday.

We set out an 8-week plan to lose 5kg, and she nailed it by keeping things simple—tracking her calories, showing up consistently in the gym, and trusting the process.

The best part? She didn’t just lose weight; she got stronger too, progressing her lifts throughout the whole journey.

Proof that you don’t need to overcomplicate it. Consistency wins every time. 👏
