Tribe Training

TRIBE MEMBER OF THE HALF YEAR: RICHARD 👊 (AKA King Richard 😅)

I wanted to recognise someone who, to me, represents exactly what Tribe is all about.

Richard has trained with me for a couple of years and had already nailed the first part of the process ; showing up consistently and making training part of his lifestyle. But this year he decided it was time to tackle the next stage: improving his health, fixing his relationship with food and becoming the healthiest version of himself.

Since January, he’s gone from around 110kg to 96kg, improved his blood sugar control massively and become fitter, stronger and healthier than ever.

But the results aren’t why he won this award.

Along the way there have been injuries, back issues, sciatica, work pressures and plenty of reasons to stop. He didn’t stop. He kept showing up.

That’s what consistency really is.

On top of that, Richard is one of the best team members you could ask for. Always encouraging others, fist bumping and always working hard and always bringing energy to the room (even if the banter is occasionally questionable 😂).

Most importantly, he genuinely wants everyone around him to do well.

Richard, I’m incredibly proud of what you’ve achieved so far. Your effort hasn’t gone unnoticed and your contribution to Tribe is hugely appreciated.

What a first half of the year, mate.

We’re nowhere near finished yet 👊 , Ross.

Tomorrow we start a new block at Tribe! 🫡

And over the last few weeks, I’ve put absolutely everything I can into making this place feel even better…
Not just look better; FEEL better!

Because to me, a gym isn’t just racks, dumbbells and flooring.
It’s the room you walk into when you’ve had a stressful day 😮‍💨
It’s the lighting 💡
The sound 🎵
The space
The kit in your hands 🏋️
The way the place makes you feel the second you step through the door 😌

I’ve always believed that the environment matters.
If the room feels chaotic, soulless, intimidating, cold, loud or thrown together, it affects how you train..

But when the space feels calm, focused, clean, sharp and purposeful, it gives you something back 🤝
That’s what I’ve been trying to create here.

Every panel, every light, every bit of equipment, every layout change, every detail has been thought about with one thing in mind:
How do I make this the best possible space for group training?
Not a commercial gym where you’re left to figure it out.
Not a room full of random kit.
But a coached space where people can come in, switch off from the outside world, feel looked after, train properly, and get the absolute best out of themselves.
The acoustic panels aren’t just there because they look good.
They make the room sound better.
The lighting isn’t just there because it looks cool.
It changes the atmosphere.
The equipment isn’t just bought for the sake of having more kit.
It’s chosen because it helps us coach better sessions.
That’s what Tribe is to me 😊
A place built with purpose.
A place where people are coached properly.
A place where training feels different.
A place where every detail is there to help you show up, work hard, and feel proud of yourself when you leave.
I’ve worked relentlessly on this place because I genuinely care about what people experience when they walk through these doors.

And tomorrow, we start the next block.
Stronger training.
Better structure.
Better environment.
Same Tribe.
Honestly, I can’t wait 😍

What a day!! ⛰️

The Dambusters Challenge definitely threw everything at us today. Rain, wind, sideways rain, soaked feet and pants…then sunshine… and then more rain 😅

But honestly, the weather wasn’t what I’ll remember today…

What I’ll remember is the attitude of everyone who came along!

Not a single complaint all day. Just good people getting stuck in, helping each other out, having a laugh, sharing stories and getting the miles done.

As a coach, these are the days that make me proud. Seeing members push themselves outside of the gym, take on a challenge, and keep going when conditions aren’t ideal tells you a lot about a person’s character.

Anyone can show up when it’s easy. Today wasn’t easy, and every single one of you smashed it.

Thank you for making it such a brilliant day. Great conversations, great company and a reminder of why we’ve built the community we have!

33km, 1200m elevation smashed in 7:14… legends!

Proud of every one of you. 👊

This is why Tribe exists! 🖤

I received this message from a client of mine and honestly, it stopped me in my tracks… 😳

Not because he mentioned weight loss.
Not because he mentioned lifting more weight.
Not because he mentioned a before and after photo.
But because he said:
“I truly understood that I need to look after myself to look after the ones I love.”

That is the bit.
That is the real transformation.

For a lot of people, joining a gym isn’t really about chasing abs, PBs or a number on the scales.
Sometimes it’s about finding yourself again…
Sometimes it’s about getting your confidence back.
Sometimes it’s about being around the right people when life has felt heavy.
Sometimes it’s about finally realising that looking after yourself is not selfish.
It’s necessary.

This client said Tribe gave him:
“A platform to thrive and a true sense of belonging.”
And honestly, I don’t think I could explain this place better than that.

Yes, we lift weights.
Yes, we train hard.
Yes, we push each other.
Yes, we have a laugh.

But underneath all of that, Tribe is about helping normal people feel like they belong somewhere while they build a better relationship with themselves.

Not proving anything to anyone.
Not punishing themselves.
Not living in the pain cave just to feel worthy.

Just showing up, doing the work, being supported, and slowly becoming the person they knew they could be.

A stronger body is brilliant.
But a stronger sense of self?
That changes everything.
That’s Tribe 💪🤝
A platform to thrive.
A place to belong.

Friday Team! 💪
Morning crew & the evening crew smashed it!
Same room.
Same standard.
Same feeling at the end.
This is one of those sessions that probably looks like “just fitness” from the outside.
But when you’re in it, you realise it’s a lot more than that…
It’s turning up when you’ve had a long week.
It’s getting stuck in when you don’t feel 100%.
It’s being pushed, but still feeling looked after.
It’s laughing with people while you’re absolutely hanging out your arse 😂
It’s walking out feeling better than when you walked in.
And that’s the bit I’ve always wanted Tribe to be.

Good people.
Big energy.
Proud of this lot!!
Ross

Wow. What a day. 🥵🏃‍♂️

Edinburgh definitely brought the heat today… but we showed up, dug deep, and got it DONE.

What a way for Tribe to spend a Sunday. Proud doesn’t even cover it.

Huge shoutout to my incredible clients and friends, Josh, Greta and Wilf absolute machines today. 👏

Now it’s time to rest up, refuel and recover… because that was a BLOODY hot one. ☀️🔥

Client stories;
This is the part that means the most to me!

Because Tribe isn’t built on fancy marketing.

It’s built on real people, showing up in real life, with real jobs, families, stresses, injuries, doubts and busy weeks…

People who didn’t walk through the door already confident.
People who were nervous to start.
People who had tried gyms before and hated them.
People who thought they were too unfit.
People who had lost their way a bit.
People who just needed the right room, the right coaching and the right support.
And that’s what I’m proud of 😃
Not just the weight lost.
Not just the strength gained.
Not just the fitness built.
But the confidence that comes back! 🫡
The person who walks in scared and then ends up lifting more than they ever thought possible.

The person who starts training for their health and ends up doing hikes, 10ks, marathons or things they never pictured themselves doing.🖤

The person who used to dread walking into a gym, but now has a place where they feel like they belong.

That’s what Tribe is!

A place where normal people get stronger, fitter and more capable, without having to become someone they’re not.
These are their stories.

And honestly, I’m proud as anything to share them.

How to join Tribe:

The easiest way to start is with our 14 day trial.
Not because I expect you to walk in already knowing what to do.
But because I want you to experience what proper coaching feels like first.

You’ll come in, meet me, get shown how we train, learn how the sessions work and actually be coached through it.
No guessing.
No walking around lost.
No feeling like everyone else knows what they’re doing and you don’t.
That’s the whole point of Tribe! 🤝

You come in as you are, and we help you from there.

Morning and evening sessions are available, so we can find the best fit around work, family and real life.

And once you’re in the room, you’ll see pretty quickly that this isn’t like a normal gym.
It’s coached.
It’s structured.
It’s supportive.

And it’s full of good people who all started exactly where you are now.
So if you’ve been watching for a while, this is your nudge.

Start with the 14 day trial.
