You don’t need to walk into your first session and start lifting heavy.

That’s not how I want my small groups to work.

We’ll start by building good movement, confidence and technique before gradually increasing the intensity.

Then we’ll see what you’ve built over the block with a 3-rep max.

The aim isn’t to prove how strong you are on day one. It’s to see how much stronger you can become

It’s to see how much stronger you can become. 💪

If you’d like to be part of the next Small Group Strength block, send me a DM with “STRONG” and I’ll send you the details.

Only 2 spaces available

One thing I see and also what people ask me a lot in 1-1 sessions is how long should I be resting?

People rushing from one set to the next because they don’t understand the importance of it.

Too little rest you don’t feel rested enough for your next set and what you got 10 sets for you may only be able to get 5-6 if you don’t rest long enough

If your goal is getting stronger or building muscle, you need enough recovery to perform your next set properly.

As a rough guide:

🏋️ Heavy compound lifts: 2–3 minutes

💪 Isolation exercises: 60–90 seconds

The better you recover between sets, the more quality work you can do.

Taking a adequate time to rest will make a huge difference to your workout especially if your someone who take little rest

So this was meant to be a post follow up from me moving into a house and I was supposed to be in decent shape for my holiday

Well it didn’t go to plan

Now before moving into the house I was on track everything was going right

Then we moved into the house

Problem after problem in the past 6 weeks

Between the front door breaking, a unexpected vet visit and a unexpected fire place we didn’t know was there just to name a few

So Saturdays and Monday have been none stop. Big breakfast, no dinners bags of sweets next thing to know it’s tea time and we’ve left it too late to cook so takeaway a few tinnies to chill out.

Unfortunately it set up bad habits.

Then injuries picked up- led to me unable to train a few days.

Then learning that my stress levels lead to injury after Josh Thorpe and I discussed it when I tend to get injuries was just what I wanted to hear 🙃

And I’ll be honest past 2-3 weeks pre holiday I didn’t want to train and the last week I didn’t train

I burnt myself out to the point we’re on holiday I had a panic attack which doctors put down to stress ( I put it down to ronnie not being with us😂)

I’ve been training for just over 10 years training differently over that time I’ve never felt like this especially with training so for me this was a whole new experience but I can take lessons away for future

Lessons to take away but also what I’ve learnt for future and clients

It’s okay to prioritise outside of fitness for a short period of time especially if it’s urgent

Manage your stress levels even if it’s going on a nice walk outside in nature or beach the benefits you get from it- a quick google search will tell you this is already long enough 😅

If you’ve had a hectic day when you go back to normal get back on it a day or 2 of damage shouldn’t set a week of bad habits

Also having something or someone to guide you when your not with it I didn’t truly understand until this moment because I’m good at telling clients what to do in this situation but obviously not myself

If you’ve sat and read this post I’d be interested in knowing how you react in a really stressful situation

How did

I’ve noticed most people don’t come to me because they suddenly wake up one day feeling motivated.

They usually come to me because they’ve reached a point where they’re tired of:

• starting and stopping

• trying to do it on their own

• feeling overwhelmed

• lacking confidence

• saying “I’ll start Monday”

And honestly, that’s normal.

Sometimes all you need is a bit of structure and someone to guide you in the right direction.

If that sounds like you, let’s have a chat 💪

📩 Send me a message.

The funny thing is, the people I work with are all very different…

Different ages.

Different jobs.

Different goals.

But they usually all have one thing in common.

At some point they’ve said one of these:

👉 “I don’t know where to start.”

👉 “I need accountability.”

👉 “I keep starting and stopping.”

👉 “I want to build confidence in the gym.”

👉 “I know what to do, I just struggle to stay consistent.”

And honestly… that’s normal.

You don’t have to be fit before you start.

You don’t have to have experience.

You just need a starting point and someone to help guide you along the way.

If you’ve been thinking about getting started, now is a great time to do it 💪

📩 Drop me a message if you’d like to find out more.

Most people don’t need a tougher workout.

They need structure, accountability, and someone to guide them when life gets busy.

That’s what coaching is really about.

Helping you build confidence, create habits that last, and make progress without fitness taking over your life.

If you’ve been wanting to get started but aren’t sure where to begin, I’d love to help.

It’s not just the physical results.
It’s how training makes them feel mentally.

After training, most people feel:
✔ less stressed
✔ clearer mentally
✔ more productive
✔ more confident
✔ better emotionally

Training gives people:
• structure
• routine
• time away from stress
• a sense of achievement

And psychologically, that matters a lot.

Even on difficult days, finishing a session can improve your mood and help reset your mindset.

That’s why fitness isn’t just about changing your body.

It often changes:
• energy
• confidence
• mindset
• overall wellbeing too

Sometimes the best workout is the one that clears your head.

One of the easiest nutrition changes you can make:

Add protein to every meal.

Protein helps:
✔ keep you fuller for longer
✔ support recovery
✔ maintain muscle
✔ reduce unnecessary snacking

It doesn’t need to be complicated.

Simple wins.

You don’t need to completely cut out foods you enjoy to lose weight.

The problem usually isn’t just one bad meal or dessert.

It’s:
• portion sizes
• never just the ONE
• over restricting yourself

You can enjoy foods you like AND make progress.

That’s what sustainability looks like.
