Private PT & Online Coach

Photos from mhktraining's post 21/05/2026

I’ve been training Emanuel for the best part of 5 years now so it meant a lot that he chose to come do his work placement here with me at .

Over the week we covered a number of different things:

• Exercise coaching & cueing
• Muscle groups & movement patterns
• Shadowing PT sessions
• Client consultations
• Programme design
• Nutrition basics
• Session planning & delivery

It was great to see him show a genuine interest in the coaching side of things and apply what he’d learned in practical situations throughout the week.

A really enjoyable few days and hopefully a valuable insight into the fitness industry.

Scroll to the end for where it all started 😂➡️

Stop being so hard on yourself.

So many of you are doing so many things right.

But are hyper focusing on the one thing you did “wrong.”

Look, nobody’s perfect.

Your fat loss journey isn’t going to be straight forward.

You’re going to screw up.

And that’s absolutely fine.

What’s not fine is letting one small slip convince you that you’re failing.

One meal, one missed workout, one off day doesn’t erase all the good habits you’ve been building.

Give yourself credit for the things you ARE doing well.

The walks. The workouts. The better choices. The consistency you’ve shown.

Progress comes from what you do most of the time, not from being perfect all of the time.

Most people don’t fail fat loss, they just try to do too much too soon.

All in training plans, super strict diets, cutting everything they enjoy overnight.

What they don’t realise is they’re trying to undo years of habits in a matter of weeks.

That kind of pressure is what leads to burnout and falling off track completely.

Yes some people can flip the switch and nail it but most can’t.

And that’s not a lack of discipline it’s just reality.

Sustainable fat loss isn’t about turning your life upside down.

It’s more about building habits you can actually stick to.

Learning when to compromise and when to enjoy yourself is part of the process.

Most people think they’re eating the same thing but the brand you choose can completely change your calories.

Granola is a perfect example:

One brand = 600+ calories per 100g
Another = 450+ calories per 100g

That’s a 150+ calorie difference for basically the same food.

Now imagine you’re following a meal plan that just says “add granola” but doesn’t specify the brand.

If you’re picking the higher calorie option 2-3 times a day, you could be eating hundreds of extra calories without even realising it.

Always check the label.

When your PT says no split squats today 💃

Struggling to feel your side delts during lateral raises? 🤔

Most people end up swinging the weight or using momentum which takes tension away from the delts you’re trying to target.

Try this simple setup fix 👇

Set a bench upright, place your chest on the pad and slightly round your shoulders forward.

This puts you in a more fixed position and removes unnecessary body movement.

Raise the dumbbells with control, keeping constant tension through the delts the entire time.

Less momentum = more delt activation 👌

Most people struggle with fat loss because they lack structure.

When your base meals are planned, your calories stop feeling restrictive.

Take a 1600 calorie target for example.

300 for breakfast. 400 for lunch. 600 for dinner.

That’s 1300 calories already accounted for.

Now you’ve got 300 left to spend how you like.

That’s where flexibility comes in.

If your meals are solid and protein is covered, you can fit something you enjoy.

If you’re low on protein, you can use those calories more intentionally.

Same calories, different choices, still on plan.

Structure gives you control.

Flexibility make it sustainable.

Most of our sessions are built around full-body movements. This allows us to train consistently, manage fatigue and keep progressing week to week.

Simple exercises done well with the right amount of volume 👌

Greek yogurt, berries and granola 🥣

One of my go-to options when I want something quick, light but still filling.

Works great as a breakfast or post workout meal thanks to the protein and carbs combo.

The best part is how easy it is to adjust. Increase or decrease portions depending on your calories and goals.

Just be a little mindful with the granola.
