We're often presented this idea on social media that you have to give 100% of your soul to everything you do, but Coach Mike disagrees. Sometimes showing up is more effective than showing off, and though we LOVE it when our clients give a session their absolute all, we're much more interested in quiet consistency and making everyday fitness a priority.

Last month it was announced that the NHS will be launching a 'Marathon a Month' challenge to try and get people up and moving every day. We think this is a great idea, because we all know fitness doesn't have to look like going to the gym 7 days a week and lifting as heavy as possible, just walking for half an hour a day is a really effective way of keeping your metabolism moving and your body healthy.
So we've made a very simple walking calculator for you that you can use to track how far you've walked and how much you need to walk each day for the rest of the month to meet your 42km goal.
If you want a copy, just leave a comment with the word 'marathon' in it, and we'll send you download links straight to your inbox!

It's not too late to sign up to our FRIENDLY competition! Events are scalable to all experience and confidence levels, all we want is that you get a good sweat on, challenge yourself, and have fun in a safe and supportive atmosphere. AND as an added bonus, you'll be raising money for Eastleigh Borough and Romsey MENCAP. Good for you body, good for your spirit, and good for society... What more could you ask for on a Saturday morning?!?
If you haven't booked yet, reach out to the coaching team - details on what's happening and how to make your donations should be in your email inbox already.
And don't forget even if you can't make it, you can donate to charity anyway!
Sometimes the coaches tell you what to do, and sometimes you get to tell them what to do. I like those days the best. Big props to Mike for being a good sport when I asked the clients not to out away their own equipment so I could make him do it! ๐
We're back with more of the fundamentals of gym workouts that you're likely to come across if you're working with a personal trainer. Jodie runs us through a gym favourite - the deadlift.

I know, grammar and fitness are hardly the same thing, but when it comes to weight loss, this one tiny difference in how you structure your sentences might be the solution you're after.

It's surprisingly hard to fit a workout in even when you work in a gym, so believe us when we say WE GET IT! You're not the problem, you're just busy ๐all ๐the ๐๐time!
That's why we recommend outsourcing your accountability to a team of incredible and funny coaches who are also beautiful and have great hair and amazing taste in music ๐
Go on, have a stretch ๐
