🏅 CLIENT SPOTLIGHT | MELVYN

A huge congratulations to Melvyn on completing the Chester Triple! 👏🏃‍♂️

Finishing the Chester Marathon with an official chip time of 4:08:21 is a fantastic achievement in itself, and an amazing way to round off the challenge!

A marathon takes commitment, consistency and plenty of hard work. It’s brilliant to see clients taking on big challenges and achieving their goals.

Well done, Melvyn! 🙌

Sometimes you have a plan for your training… and then life decides otherwise. 🙃

I had a pretty big training goal for this year, and I had been working towards it for months.

But sometimes plans have to change.

Whether it’s an injury, illness, work, family life, a change in circumstances — or simply realising that your original goal no longer makes sense — changing your plan doesn’t mean you’ve failed.

One of the biggest things I’ve learnt through my own training is that you have to be willing to adapt.

That might mean:
🏋️ Reducing the weight
🏃 Reducing your running volume
⏱️ Taking longer rest periods
🔄 Changing an exercise
😴 Taking an extra rest day
🎯 Or completely changing the goal you’re working towards

And that’s okay.

Your training plan should work for your life as it is now, not the life you had when you wrote it.

I think we can sometimes get so caught up in “sticking to the plan” that we forget the plan is supposed to be a tool — not a rulebook.

Progress isn’t always linear.

Sometimes moving forwards means changing direction. 🤍

And there will always be another goal to work towards when the time is right.

Have you ever had to completely change a training goal or plan?

Ready to get started? 💪

If you’ve been following along for a while and thinking about getting some support with your training, here’s your sign to finally send that message 👀

There are a few different ways you can work with me depending on what you’re looking for:

💪 1-to-1 Personal Training — individual coaching and programming built around you.

👯 2-to-1 Personal Training — train alongside a partner, friend or family member while still working towards your own goals.

🙌 Small Group Personal Training — structured training with the added encouragement and social side of exercising with others.

🧘‍♀️ Pilates — including 1-to-1 and 2-to-1 Matwork and Reformer sessions, alongside our weekly classes.

And if you’re not sure which option would suit you best, you don’t need to know before getting in touch.

We can have a chat about what you’re looking for and go from there.

For Personal Training, we’ll start with a 30-minute consultation (£25) where we’ll discuss your goals, training and injury history, lifestyle and what you’d like to achieve.

You don’t need to get fitter first.

You don’t need to know your way around a gym.

And you don’t need to have everything figured out.

You just need to start.

📍 Easy St. Personal Training & Physiotherapy, Norden, Rochdale.

5 signs you’re making progress that AREN’T the scales 👀

It’s very easy to associate progress with one number.

But there’s so much more we can look at.

Maybe you’re lifting a weight that used to feel impossible.

Maybe you can run or walk further without stopping.

Maybe carrying the shopping or climbing the stairs feels easier.

Maybe you’re finally confident enough to walk into the gym and know what you’re doing.

Or maybe you’ve simply managed to exercise consistently for the first time in a long time.

All of that is progress. 👏

That’s not to say the scales are useless. If changing your body weight is relevant to your goals, it can be one useful way of monitoring progress.

But it’s exactly that — one measure.

Your strength, fitness, performance, confidence, consistency and what you’re capable of doing matter too.

So if the scales haven’t changed recently, don’t automatically assume that means nothing else has.

Take a look at how far you’ve come in other ways too. 💪

What’s a piece of progress you’re proud of that has nothing to do with the scales? 👇

Could personal training be right for you? 👀

You don’t need to be a complete beginner to benefit from having a PT — and you definitely don’t need to “get fit first”.

Maybe…

🤷‍♀️ You don’t know where to start
📝 Your workouts don’t have much structure
📈 You want to start progressing your training
😬 You don’t feel confident in the gym
🎯 You have a specific goal you’d like to work towards
❤️ You have individual needs that need to be considered
🙋‍♀️ You’d simply like some accountability and support

Personal training isn’t about me standing next to you and counting your reps.

It’s about giving your training structure, purpose and progression, while helping you understand what you’re doing and why you’re doing it.

And you don’t need to fit a certain mould to work with me.

We’ll start from where you are now and build from there.

Think PT might be right for you?

What’s it actually like training with me? 🏋️‍♀️

Personal Training isn’t just about turning up, doing a workout and leaving feeling exhausted.

I build your training around you — your goals, experience, current ability and what you actually enjoy. Whether you love the gym or absolutely hate it, I want your sessions to be something you can enjoy and feel good about.

Every exercise has a purpose. I’ll explain why we’re doing it, teach you how to perform it properly and help you progress over time.

I’ll also monitor your progress along the way, so we can see how you’re improving — whether that’s getting stronger, increasing your fitness, improving technique, progressing your weights or working towards a specific goal. 📈

I’ll challenge you and encourage you to push yourself, but I don’t believe every session needs to leave you completely exhausted to be effective. Sometimes it’s about knowing when to push, when to hold back and when to adapt.

Because life happens too! If you’re having an off day, feeling tired or something isn’t quite right, we’ll adapt the session to suit you.

And yes… there’ll be plenty of chatting, a few laughs and I’ll probably lose count of your reps at some point! 😂

Ultimately, I want you to get fitter, get stronger, feel more confident in the gym and work towards your individual goals — while actually enjoying the process along the way.

If that sounds like your kind of PT, come and have a chat with me. 🤍

Cardio vs strength training… which is better? 🤔

I’m going to give you the annoying PT answer:

It depends 😂

Cardio and strength training aren’t really competitors. They provide different benefits, and which one you prioritise should depend on what you’re trying to achieve.

❤️ Cardio can help improve your cardiovascular fitness and endurance.

💪 Strength training can help build and maintain muscle, improve strength and support bone health.

Want to become a better runner? Running is obviously going to be pretty important.

Want to get stronger? You’re going to need some resistance training.

Want to look after your overall health and fitness?

There’s room for both.

And your training week doesn’t need to look like somebody else’s.

What you do should take into account your goals, lifestyle, experience, other activities — and, importantly, what you actually enjoy doing.

I’m definitely team run AND lift 🏃‍♀️🏋️‍♀️

What do you prefer — cardio, strength or a bit of both? 👇

Ever thought about doing Personal Training with someone else? 👯💪

Personal Training doesn’t always have to mean 1-to-1.

With 2-to-1 or Small Group PT, you can train alongside a partner, friend, family member or training buddy while still having the structure, guidance and support of a Personal Trainer.

And the best part? You can split the cost between you.

You don’t necessarily need to be the same fitness level or have exactly the same goals.

Exercises can be adapted to suit each person, so you can train together while still working at a level that’s appropriate for you.

It can be a great option if you:

👯 Enjoy training with someone else
🙌 Like having a bit of extra encouragement
💪 Still want structured, progressive training
🏋️ Want the guidance of a PT
💷 Want to share the cost
😂 Prefer your training to be a little more social

For some people, 1-to-1 support will still be the better option — and that’s absolutely fine too.

We can chat about what you’re looking for and decide which type of training would suit you best.

📍 Easy St. Personal Training & Physiotherapy, Norden, Rochdale.
