RIGHT, SUMMER’S DONE. ROUTINE’S BACK. NOW WHAT? šŸ‘Š

Summer’s class, but f**k me it can knock your routine all over the place šŸ˜‚

Holidays. Days out. Kids off. Meals out. A few more drinks. Training when you can fit it in.

Then suddenly September comes around and you’re thinking…

ā€œRight. I really need to get myself going again.ā€

Well, the kids have been back at school a few weeks now.

Work’s back to normal.

The holidays are done.

And that’s why I’m officially opening the 90-Day Accelerator.

This isn’t about being perfect for 90 days.

It’s about getting some structure back around your training and food, getting fitter and stronger, and actually feeling like you’re back in control again.

Without having to put your whole life on hold to do it.

You’ll still have work.

You’ll still have kids and family stuff.

You’ll still have weekends, meals out and weeks where everything goes to s**t šŸ˜‚

That’s real life.

So we’ll build your training around the time you’ve actually got.

We’ll help you with your food so you can still eat normal meals with your family and enjoy your weekends.

And you’ll have proper coaching and accountability there when things don’t go to plan, so one s**t week doesn’t turn into another month of doing nothing.

There are 3 ways you can do it šŸ‘‡

šŸŒ Online
Wherever you are in the world.

šŸ¤ Hybrid
If you already love where you train, but want our coaching, nutrition and accountability behind you.

šŸ“ In person
With us here at The Hurt Locker in Benton.

The goal isn’t 90 perfect days.

It’s 90 days of getting yourself moving in the right direction again and building something you can actually stick to when life isn’t perfect.

If you want to have a look at everything that’s included, comment ā€œ90ā€ below and I’ll send all the details over šŸ‘Š

6-week-old baby at home. A 4-year-old just started school. Work. Family. Life chaotic. šŸ˜‚

And Mickey still manages to get his training in three times a week.

That’s the point.

You don’t need life to suddenly become quiet before you start looking after yourself.

You need somewhere that can work around the life you’ve already got.

And Mickey summed it up better than I could…

ā€œThe best time to start was yesterday. The next best time is today.ā€ šŸ‘Š

Fair play mate. You f**king nailed it šŸ˜‚

If you’re a busy mam or dad around Newcastle and this sounds familiar, drop us a DM with START and I’ll send you some info.

90 days doesn’t mean 90 perfect days. šŸ‘Š

Work will get busy.
Kids will need you.
Weekends will happen.
Meals out will happen.
And some weeks just won’t go to plan.

That’s real life.

The answer isn’t putting everything else on hold for three months.

It’s having the right training, nutrition, coaching and accountability around you so you can keep moving forward when life isn’t perfect.

That’s exactly what we’re building with the 90-Day Accelerator.

šŸŒ Online - wherever you are in the world

This is real life šŸ˜‚ Kids. School runs. Clubs. Work. Nutrition not always perfect. Some weeks more chaotic than others.

And yet you can still make training work.

You don’t need the perfect week.

You just need somewhere that understands what your weeks actually look like.

Who help you keep going anyway šŸ’Ŗ

That’s exactly what we’re about at The Hurt Locker.

If you’re a busy mam or dad around Newcastle and you’re ready to get back into a routine…

Comment ā€œSTARTā€ and I’ll send you the details šŸ‘Š

Summer can absolutely batter your routine šŸ˜‚ Holidays. Kids off. Days out. Meals out. A few more drinks. Training becomes a bit hit and miss.

You tell yourself you’ll get back into it next week…

Then another week goes by.

And before you know it, you’re saying ā€œI’ll start again in January.ā€

But there’s still plenty of time between now and Christmas to get back into a routine and start feeling fitter and stronger.

That’s exactly what the 90-Day Accelerator is going to be about.

Online. Hybrid. Or with us at The Hurt Locker.

More very soon šŸ‘€

And there’s still plenty of time to make some serious progress before Christmas.

Worried you’re not fit enough to get started?

Honestly, most people feel a little nervous before they come through the doors for the first time.

They worry they won’t be fit enough, strong enough or know what they’re doing.

But that’s exactly what we’re here for.

We’ll coach you from where you’re at, help you feel comfortable and allow you to progress at your own pace.

Nobody is judging what you look like or how fit you are.

You don’t need to get fit before you start. You just need somewhere that will help you get started šŸ‘

12.1kg down while working in the NHS, moving house and preparing for the Great North Run šŸ’ŖšŸ»

Jack has had plenty on his plate since joining our 28-Day Kickstart back in June.

Like most people, he couldn’t put work, stress and everything else going on in life to one side while he focused on himself.

He needed a routine that could fit around it.

Jack started with the Kickstart and then continued onto The Hurt Locker 90-Day Accelerator to keep building on what he’d started.

Just over three months later:

• His weight has dropped from 104.4kg to 92.3kg
• His body-fat percentage has dropped from 26.8% to 17.6%
• He’s maintained the majority of his muscle throughout

Alongside that, he’s built his running up to 12 miles and recently deadlifted 120kg for six reps.

So when Jack lines up for the Great North Run on Sunday, he’ll be over 12kg lighter without sacrificing the strength he’s worked hard to build.

He hasn’t had to wait for work to become quieter or life to settle down before making progress.

There have been stressful weeks, busy days and times when the plan has needed adjusting. When that happened, we adjusted things rather than allowing one difficult period to undo everything he’d already achieved.

When you look at these photos, I don’t just want you to see someone who has lost weight.

I want you to see someone with responsibilities and pressures that might sound familiar to your own, who started with what he could manage and gradually built from there.

Your progress wouldn’t need to look exactly like Jack’s.

But a few changes, a routine that fits your week and someone in your corner could give you somewhere to start.

Proud of the work you’ve put in, mate. Enjoy Sunday and give yourself credit for how far you’ve come.

Give Jack some support in the comments ahead of the big day šŸ‘šŸ»

Our latest 28 Day Kickstarters: Michelle, Carrie, Deni, Matty and Michael.

Tracy, one of our members, jumping in to help coach Deni through part of the session.

That’s what our community is all about. People supporting each other, encouraging each other and helping make the gym feel like somewhere you actually want to come back to.

All at different starting points, all with different goals, but all doing the same thing right now: showing up, getting involved and building some consistency.

And this video sums up one of the biggest things we’re proud of at The Hurt Locker.

The 28 Day Kickstart is about more than just training. It’s about building confidence, creating better habits and feeling part of something.

Massive well done to everyone. You’re smashing it!

6:30pm is starting to become a bit of a thing šŸ‘€

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday evenings are getting busier every week…

And this is exactly why we built The Hurt Locker.

Not for people who want to stand around wondering what machine to use.

Not for people who want mirrors, egos and feeling judged.

For normal people with busy lives who want:

šŸ’Ŗ To get stronger
šŸƒ To improve their fitness
šŸ Some structure with nutrition
šŸ¤ A group of people who actually support them

No leaderboards. No pressure.
Just coached sessions, good people and progress.

Most of these guys walked through the door wondering:

ā€œWill I fit in?ā€
ā€œAm I fit enough?ā€
ā€œWill everyone be ahead of me?ā€

A few weeks later they’re part of the team šŸ‘Š

6:30pm Group Conditioning
Monday • Tuesday • Wednesday • Thursday

Built for busy/stressed parents, shift workers and anyone trying to get their fitness back around real life.
