Duke is living proof that your lowest point doesn’t have to be where your story ends.
Take ownership. Rebuild. Don’t give up.
Life is essentially a lottery. You’re born into a random family, into a random country, and have no control over this.
Some people have all the advantages in the world, and other people have none. Whatever the situation, you just have to make the most of whatever cards that you’re dealt.
is one of those people who wasn’t so lucky. He was born into a family where his dad regularly beat his him, his brother and his mum. He grew up in fear, and didn’t have any sort of proper childhood.
When you’re born into situations like this, it’s so much harder to make something of your life. So big respect to Duke for being in the position that he’s in now.

Does having a PT really make a difference?
100%, but probably not for the reason you think.
Sure, getting guidance and learning what to do is super important.
But one of the biggest perks of a PT is that we help you get through the harder days. And trust me, you’re going to have plenty of them.
Maybe work gets extra tough. Maybe you’re more stressed than usual. Maybe you get some bad news. Or maybe you’re just having one of those weeks where training is the last thing you feel like doing..
That’s where having someone in your corner can make a huge difference.
Being in really good shape these days is rare, because it requires you staying consistent when life isn’t going perfectly.
So if you’ve been struggling with consistency for a while, getting a PT is definitely your best move.

What a transformation 🔥
I’ve been working with Tom for around a year now and in this time he’s put on a significant amount of muscle! 💪🏼
Tom came to me as he was lacking direction and structure in the gym. He also needed me to push him to work harder, as he was struggling to train intensely on his own. I think we can all agree that this is hard sometimes even if we have the right intentions!
When you combine the push and support I give him with his consistency.. you get this kind of result 👏🏼
If anyone of you feel like you need a push in your gym sessions, drop me a DM and I’ll get back to you 👊🏼

Another seminar in the books ✅
thanks so much for coming in and delivering a powerful, emotional and inspirational speech. Everyone who came was invested in your story! 📖
My seminars are all about personal development. The topic for this one in particular was the power of decision making, and we can make better choices to move our lives forward. ➡️
Duke spoke about his mistakes that he made that led to 3 stints in prison, and it gave people plenty to reflect about! We then did a small workshop about the butterfly effect and and how our daily decisions are shaping the direction of our lives. 📈
Plenty of footage to come 📹
If you’re a PT in a gym, you’re normally self employed. And you need to offer money or free hours to the gym each week in order to rent the space.
This sounds awful, but working in a gym has so many benefits:
1. It gives you a suitable training space for PT sessions
2. You have access to thousands of members who you could turn into clients
3. You can get business advice from the gym managers or higher ups
4. You can advertise yourself loads to active gym members (posters, leaflets, PureGym website etc)
5. You can use your gym hours to generate leads
If us PT’s didn’t work in a gym, where would we work? Park sessions in the middle of winter with resistance bands wouldn’t be too inviting.
It’s on us to get clients. If you have loads, you can earn really good money. However, if you don’t, then it’s pretty depressing because you’re basically giving away money or time for nothing.

Do you know I do a cheap introductory offer?
This is so people can trial working with me before committing to anything long term.
If you’ve been thinking about PT for a while but haven’t made the move yet, this would be a good next step for you!
DM to book 💬
I’m hosting another personal development seminar Sunday 19th July!
This time my guest speaker will be Duke Harrison-Hunter ( ) Duke has been to prison 3 times and has since turned his life around and become a well-known and respected figure in the local area. Duke will be sharing stories on his time in prison and how bad decision making almost ruined his life.
This seminar will be about the impact of decision making and how our behaviours and actions can have a massive knock on impact on our goals and life as a whole. We’ll also be doing activities that help you not only understand this, but also help you move forward with your own goals in life!
Tickets are £7 each or £9 for 2 (bring a friend). Link in bio 🔗
