Gen X Fitness

Next Run Club this Sunday (10th May)

Friendly no pressure vibe with coffee and chat afterwards.

Meet at Church Square at 9am.

Thinking about 1-2-1 PT? Or bring a mate for 1-2-2…

Just know this

This isn’t lying on a bench doing 3 sets of 10 while taking gym selfies.

My coaching is built around a Hybrid approach – strength + engine + real-world fitness.

You’ll get coached properly, pushed appropriately, and leave knowing you’ve actually trained… not just exercised.

Also…

you're likely to learn new movements..... you will 100% do burpees, you're also likely to run (probably the worst sales pitch ever 🤦‍♂️).

Drop me a message if you’re ready to level up

Yesterday at the (brilliant) TC60 Hybrid Games in Hull, me and Sol (25) qualified for the final in 2nd place…

…and then reality arrived in the shape of a load of lads who were basically born with lung capacity and fast-twitch fibres I last saw in 2003.

We finished 4th.
No excuses — they were better on the day. I genuinely believe Sol would have won with a better partner.

But here’s the thing…

I’m 52 (53 next month), standing next to athletes 20+ years younger, still mixing it, still competing, still pushing. And OK— it was a bit of a wake-up call. Not the “pack it in” kind… the “level up or get left behind” kind.

Ageing doesn’t mean stepping aside.
It just means you’ve got to be smarter, tougher, and maybe warm up for 20 minutes longer than everyone else (I didn't) 😂

Massive respect to everyone in that final — savage standard.

And to anyone over 40 watching this thinking “I’m too old for that”…

You’re not.
You just haven’t started yet.

Give me a call!!!

A BIG WEEKEND FOR THE UNIT 5 TEAM

4 Female Doubles took on their first HYROX at Olympia
1 Male athlete stepped up solo in Belgium
1 of our newest members stepped up to Female solo after just 5 weeks training.

And on top of that.. some seriously impressive times were put down.

More importantly, everybody delivered in the way they handled it. Composed. Tough. Willing to stay in it when it started to bite.

And honestly, I am massively proud of them.

As a coach, you see the sessions, the early mornings, the doubt, the small wins that nobody else notices. So to see them step onto the floor and back it up, that is what really means something.

We're coming up to a year as a gym in June and I am starting to feel the shift. This is what consistent work looks like over time.

No shortcuts. No magic. Just showing up, working hard and getting better.

And the best part?

Nobody's finished.

Everybody's ready to go again!

Proud Coach. Better Team. More to come!

Thanks for trusting us with your training ❤️

EASTER SUNDAY RUN CLUB

We go again…

After an incredible first meet, we’re back this Easter Sunday for round two of the Unit 5 x Imaginarium 1876 Run Club.

📍 Meet: Imaginarium 1876
⏰ Time: 09:00

– Free parking available
– Coats & bags safely stored inside
– Two route options to suit all levels
– And a dedicated Tail End Charlie so nobody gets left behind

This isn’t about pace… it’s about people. Community. Fresh air. Starting your Sunday the right way.

Whether you’re chasing fitness or just fancy a social run and a coffee after — you’re welcome.

Bring a friend. Bring good energy. Let’s build something special.

Yesterday we raced!! We didn't have a target time and we certainly weren't racing for a podium.

Yesterday was about something far more important for me, it was about hitting the start line alongside my daughter Sadie.

I have competed in fitness competitions for well over a decade but nothing comes close to sharing the floor with Sadie. She has never done anything like this before, she didn't just get through it, she smashed it!!

I could not be more proud.

People often talk about getting fit and healthy to run around with their kids, it doesn't have to stop when they grow up.

Well done Sadie, amazing what pilates can do... What are we doing next ?? ❤️

UNIT 5 X IMAGINARIUM 1876 RUN CLUB 🏃🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

We're launching something new at Unit 5 in collaboration with The Imaginarium 1876.

It's not a massive workout.
Just a good run with good people.

Starting Sunday 1st March we'll be meeting on the first Sunday of every month for a relaxed social run - choose between 5k or 7.5k and we'll head out in pace groups so nobody runs alone.

We'll start and finish at The Imaginarium 1876 where they've kindly sorted 10% discount off food and drinks for run clubbers afterwards.

Bring a friend,family member or someone who keeps saying they should start running... this is the place to begin.

No sign up needed - just turn up. Everybody welcome.
