Why we stopped Julie from signing up with us. (At first.)
Two months ago, Julie came into the studio having never set foot in a gym before. She was super nervous and very apprehensive about training in a gym, and having never been in one, you could understand why.
The reason she came down to us was that, after a chat with her sister (who trains), her sister kept telling her how good it would be for her, and how important it is, especially as you get older.
Now, here’s the thing. We initially didn’t get Julie to sign up with us.
We could see she really wanted to, but she had a lot of questions and reservations about it, and, to be honest, about us too.
We normally start everyone on our 21-day trial, but we could tell that was too big a commitment this early on. So instead of signing her up, we told her we’d book her in to come back the following week.
That’s it.
No commitment.
No payment.
Just come back again.
The hardest part was done. She’d actually walked through the door for the first time.
(We knew that if she came back, she’d love it, and hopefully us too.)
Fast forward two months, and we’ve even found her rearranging sessions around her holidays so she doesn’t miss anything.
That’s often all it takes. If you’re on the fence like Julie was, drop us a message and we’ll get you booked in.
No commitment, just come and see what we are all about.
We’ve also currently only got one space left in our women’s-only Small Group PT, so if that’s been on your mind, now’s your time 💪🏻

Why your back ACTUALLY keeps going and what you can do about it..
Ever wondered why you have that constant ache?
You know the one.
The one you expect to get better as the day goes on, but never does.
The one that’s stopping you from getting involved with the kids as much as you’d like.
The one you’re putting down to getting older.
Can we be honest with you for a second?
The reason your back keeps going isn’t age.
It’s weakness.
We hear it all the time, “I have to be careful, I’ve got a bad back.” We get it. Putting your back out can completely ruin your day. Sometimes your whole week.
But here’s the thing.
The reason it keeps going
(outside of an actual pre-existing injury) is because you’re not using it. And when you do, your body isn’t ready for it.
Your back is like any other muscle. If you don’t use it, it loses the ability to support you.
And when life asks something of it, like picking up a heavy bag, playing with your kids on the floor, a long drive, it gives way because it was never given a reason not to.
The answer isn’t to rest it more. It’s to strengthen it.
Most of our clients who come to us with back problems are genuinely shocked at how doing exercises that directly strengthen tends to get rid of their aches
Not because we did anything dramatic, but because their body finally got the strength it was missing.
Now, who’s got a bad back that isn’t going away?
Ps. If you have an actual back injury that’s been diagnosed this isn’t the advice to take 😂
