Most people over 40 don't stop training because they lose motivation.

They stop because their body starts fighting back.

The stiff back when you get out of bed.
The shoulder that clicks every time you press overhead.
The knee that reminds you it's there every time you walk downstairs.

That's exactly why we created The Repair Room.

Led by our physiotherapist Costa, this dedicated session is designed to help you move better, feel better, and stay active for years to come.

Think of it as an MOT for your body.

We focus on mobility, posture, joint health, core strength, movement quality, and injury prevention. The things most people ignore until pain forces them to pay attention.

This isn't lying on a mat stretching for an hour.

It's not yoga.
It's not reformer Pilates.
And it's definitely not a relaxation session.

The Repair Room is structured, physiotherapist-led training designed to improve mobility, posture, joint health, core strength, and movement quality.

We identify weaknesses, improve how your body moves, and build the strength and stability needed to keep training, working, playing sport, and enjoying life without constantly feeling tight, stiff, or broken down.

Because getting older isn't the problem.

Moving less, recovering poorly, and ignoring the warning signs is.

Every session is designed to help you move better, recover better, and stay active for longer.

Train hard. Recover smarter. Stay in the game longer.

We've been in your corner since day one.
Now we're going further.

Instinct is proud to welcome Costa our in house physiotherapist, elite athlete, and the person who's going to help you finally sort that back, shoulder, knee, or injury that's been holding you back.

Costa trained and competed with the Greek National Rowing Team, worked within the GB Rowing Development Pathway, and has been part of the Bristol Bears Senior Academy.

He knows what high-performance bodies demand and what happens when they break down.

His specialist interest?
Lower back pain, movement rehabilitation, and getting people back to doing what they love without surgery, without just "managing it," and without being told it's just your age.

If you're in your 40s or 50s and your back, shoulder, or knees have been quietly running your life.

This 6 week pain to performance programme was built for you.

We designed a programme to take you from wherever you are right now struggling with back pain, sciatica, a shoulder injury that never healed properly or knees that scream at you with every step to moving freely, training confidently, and feeling like yourself again.

Led by Costa, our specialist physiotherapist, every week builds on the last. You'll understand what's driving your pain, address it at the root, and progressively rebuild the strength, mobility, and resilience your body needs to perform not just cope.

Six weeks. A clear plan. Someone genuinely in your corner the entire way.
This is not pain management.
This is the way out.

DM “RECOVER" and I'll send you the details.

This isn’t a fitness class.

It’s a community built for 40+ busy people just like you.

All day, every day… doing everything for everyone else and putting yourself at the bottom of the list.

Work. Family. Life. Responsibilities stacked on repeat.

Stop.

This is your chance to switch the role and focus on you.

No scrolling. No distractions. No overthinking. No working. No doing anything for anyone else.

Just you.

No tension. No pressure. No stress. No noise. No anxiety. No work. No running around after someone else.

Just you moving — squatting, pushing, lifting, punching, breathing, rebuilding, refocusing.

Because you don’t just need to stay busy… you need space to become stronger, leaner, and more capable again.

DM: "I NEED THIS”.

Train for Life. Carry More. Move Better. Hurt Less. Stay Capable. 💪

Most people think fitness is about losing weight, getting leaner, or looking better in the mirror.

Those things are great, but they're not the real goal.

The real goal is staying capable. 👊

Capable of carrying all the shopping bags in one trip. 🛒

Capable of running around with your kids or grandkids without needing a sit down afterwards. 🏃

Capable of getting up off the floor, climbing stairs, lifting heavy things, travelling, playing sports, and saying "yes" to life's opportunities. 🚶‍♂️🏔️⚽

Too many people accept that feeling tired, stiff, weak, and achy is just part of getting older.

We don't.

Our mission is to help busy adults and parents aged 40+ build strength 💪, energy ⚡, mobility 🤸, confidence 😎, and resilience 🛡️ so they can keep doing the things they love for years to come.

Because fitness isn't about adding years to your life.

It's about adding life to your years. ❤️

Every workout is an investment in your future self.

The question is:

What do you want to still be capable of doing in 10, 20, or 30 years from now? 🤔

🥊 FIGHTER OF THE MONTH – MAY | SAMANTHA DIEGUTIS 🥊

From first class tears… to 100 sessions completed.

Samantha’s journey didn’t start with confidence. It started with overwhelm.

Her very first session wasn’t what she expected. She walked into a large group boxing and fitness class by mistake. It hit hard. She struggled through it, became overwhelmed, burst into tears, felt physically sick, and left thinking she wasn’t cut out for this.

Most people don’t come back from that.

She did.

And when she did, something changed.

No judgement. No pressure. Just a community that made sure she wasn’t doing it alone.

She moved into Semi-Private training and started again. Quietly. Consistently. One session at a time.

Step by step. Session by session. 100 times.

In January, she levelled up again, adding 1-2-1 coaching with Steph alongside her weekly sessions. Since then, she’s built not just fitness… but confidence, structure, and habits that stick outside the gym too.

What once felt overwhelming is now routine.
What once felt impossible is now normal.

The transformation isn’t just physical.

It’s in how she walks in the door now.
It’s in how she handles hard days.
It’s in the consistency she never used to believe she had.

Nutrition used to feel like a battle. Now it’s planning, preparation, and control.

Samantha didn’t just reach 100 sessions.

She became someone completely different in the process.

And now she can see her long-term goal clearly… not as a wish… but as something she’s actually going to achieve.

That’s what a Fighter looks like. 🖤

Most gyms sell memberships.
Most coaches just sell workouts.

We build people.

At Instinct, our coaches nurture, educate, lead, and inspire adults 40+ to feel lean, strong, capable, and confident again.

This isn’t about punishment workouts or chasing exhaustion.

It’s about:

✅ Moving without aches and pains
✅ Building strength for real life
✅ Improving energy and confidence
✅ Feeling athletic again
✅ Training with people who genuinely care

Whether you’re restarting, rebuilding, or levelling up, our job is to help you become the strongest version of yourself physically and mentally.

Because getting older shouldn’t mean slowing down.

It means coping with stress better, relieving anxiety, having more energy, and feeling proud of yourself again. ⚡

Real talk you've got meetings, kids, life… and zero time. 😅

But here's what 45 minutes of boxing will do:
✅ Kill the stress
✅ Wake up muscles you forgot you had
✅ Leave you feeling stronger, sharper, and full of energy

Age 40+ hits different when you train like this. 🥊🔥

Hottest days of the year right now… and it’s still the perfect time to train smarter, not harder. 🥵🥊You’ll sweat either way might as well make it count.

DM us "IT'S HOT" to try a session followed by an Ice bath 🔥🧊

Most adults don’t struggle because they’re lazy.
They struggle because life gets heavy.

Stress.
Work. 💼
Mental health. 🌧️
Confidence.
Family pressure. 🏠
Years of putting themselves last until the mirror starts feeling like a stranger. 🪞

That’s why at Instinct, we don’t just help people lose weight.
We help people rebuild themselves through training.

Meet Eva. She’s one of those people.

This summer alone, she’s already completed 50-mile and 100-mile walks 🚶‍♀️🔥with more walking challenges still ahead. But the biggest challenge was never just physical.

Over the past year, training has helped her manage stress, navigate difficult periods with her mental health, and give her something solid to lean into when life felt unstable.

A place to feel safe, supported, and capable again.

And the biggest wins are usually the ones nobody else sees.

Last week, Eva jumped onto a box she’d spent a long time avoiding because of fear and anxiety around it. 📦

That moment matters.

Not because of calories burned or numbers on a scale, but because confidence came back online for a second. Like flicking the lights back on in a room that’s been dark for years.

That’s what we look for.

Helping people feel stronger.
More capable.
More like themselves again. 💛

Most people 40 and over aren’t trying to live in the gym.

They’re trying to make life work around everything else.

Work.
Kids.
Bills.
Stress.
Constantly feeling tired and running on empty.

And somewhere in all of that, looking after themselves quietly drops down the list.

What most people actually want is simple:

More energy.
Better fitness.
Stronger confidence.
A body that feels good again.
And enough stamina to actually enjoy life with their kids and family without feeling wiped out.

That’s where we come in.

We coach everyday adults with a clear system built around real life, not perfect routines.

Structured strength, boxing, and conditioning sessions designed around your ability level.

Nothing random.
Nothing intimidating.
Nothing that leaves you guessing.

We use three levels so everything is matched to you:

Contender.
Challenger.
Champion.

So whether you’re starting again after years out, building confidence for the first time, or pushing for a new challenge, there’s a place for you to begin.

You get coaching.
Support.
Accountability.
Nutrition.
Progress tracking.
And a plan you can actually stick to long term.

A proper community around you.
People who encourage you, not judge you.
And training that fits your life, not fights it.

That’s why people stay.
And more importantly, why they start feeling like themselves again.

You finish work exhausted.
You sit on the sofa for “five minutes”…

Next thing you know:
the snack cupboard is open,
you’re halfway through a family-sized bag of crisps,
and somehow chocolate has jumped into your mouth too. 🍫🫠

Sound familiar?

Most adults think evening cravings mean they “lack discipline.”

Usually, it’s the opposite.

You’ve under-eaten all day.
Skipped proper meals.
Lived on coffee.
Grabbed whatever was convenient.

By the evening, your body is basically waving a white flag and screaming for energy.

That’s why at Instinct, we don’t just hand out meal plans.
We help busy adults build fitness for real life.

Because most people 40+ don’t have:
❌ spare hours every day
❌ endless motivation
❌ a fridge full of meal-prepped Tupperware containers stacked like a nutrition Jenga tower

So instead, we focus on:
✅ proper meals
✅ simple structure
✅ better energy
✅ strength training
✅ boxing
✅ realistic routines that fit around work, family, and life

And yes… we WANT our members to enjoy the foods they love.

Have the chocolate.
Have the crisps.

Learning how to eat those foods guilt-free while still making progress?
That’s a skill.

The goal isn’t perfection.
The goal isn’t living on chicken and broccoli while basically renting a bedroom inside a gym.

The goal is consistency.

45-minute coached sessions.
Real support.
Real people.
Real life.
Nutrition guidance that works FOR you, not fights against you.

That’s how lasting results happen.

Not for six weeks.
For life.
