Thanks to a monumental effort from all involved, Improve Giffnock opens tomorrow.
Proper hard graft, but we got there.
Excited to step into the next chapter, not so excited about the prospect of my alarm going off in 5 hours time…
Alas, let’s go and positively impact a load of new people’s lives.
That’s what it’s all about.

10 years ago to the day, myself and my old man ripped out the first iteration of down in Tradeston.
A little over 6 years ago, we made the jump around the corner into 2.0.
It’s been some journey…
From a one-man-band in an empty scout hall with a borrowed set of kettlebells to building and running great teams and training literally thousands of people in one of the country’s coolest facilities.
May marks 10 years of Improve and we’re celebrating our ‘gymiversary’ with something special.
Can’t say much more yet 🤐
But all will be revealed soon...

How it started vs how it ended ➡️
Marathon number 5 ticked off in Milano.
Achieved a PW (personal worst), and that’s okay.
Sometimes showing up and getting it done is all that counts - that was what yesterday was all about.
Worst time but best/most enjoyable experience 🤷♂️

Five takeaways after a bunch of kick-off calls from our upcoming Accelerator Programme at
Hope they help!

Picking up injuries and niggles is demoralising - no doubt about it.
But what’s more demoralising is the mountain you face when you stop training altogether instead of working around the injury/niggle and at least ticking over.
A 20% dip in strength and fitness is a lot easier to bounce back from - physically and mentally - than having to start again after 3/6/12 months of inactivity.
Keep up trucking (sensibly).
