It’s never too late…

I used to think that, to be a gym goer, I needed to start pretty early on in life

And when I mean early on, I mean in my teens

I always thought that if I left it until my mid 20s then by that point I will be too far behind

What’s the point in trying as I will be playing catch up?

Well, wasn’t I wrong

It’s never too late

The perfect time to start is TODAY

Everyone is at different stages, so stop comparing…

Everyone had a day one

All I needed to do was to focus on me

Once I put those blinkers on I felt unstoppable

Nothing was going to get in my way of achieving my goal

So I am forever grateful I started when I did

I wouldn’t have made half the progress if I continued worrying about external factors

And I’m here today, still striving for more

Still pushing the boundaries of my potential

And I absolutely love it

Now if fear of being late to the party is what’s holding you back

Then let me tell you

Who wants to be early to a party anyways?

If you need help kickstarting your journey, DM the word ‘GO’ today

How I wished I learnt these things much sooner!

Oh and btw I am 28, so not quite 30 yet 😂

The day my confidence changed, forever

I was always someone who lack confidence growing up

I was very shy and hated social interactions, especially ones where I didn’t know many people

I thought that confidence was something I could never obtain

Like I was destined to be shy and nervous for the rest of my life

I was stuck, hated who I was and needed change, asap

As I started

Lifting weights 4 times a week
Cutting out most processed foods
Journalling, meditating and being within nature

I could feel myself getting more and more confident by the day

As I started to see changes within my body, started focusing on what makes me feel good

My confidence sky rocketed

I now thrive in small talk scenarios (real OGs know I hated small talk)

I now say hello to people I know instead of crossing the road to avoid them (sorry!)

I now have a swagger about me which was non existent before

Feels so strange being where I am today

Considering I was the guy who didn’t hold much self worth

So much have changed within the last 10,5 even 1 year!

My point is that, even though you think you can’t, you can

Trust me, I have been there

I hope you take this message as a sign to start prioritising your health and fitness

When you look back at all the progress you have made it will

Blow. Your. Mind

Need help going from a zero to a hero? DM me “HERO” today!

I make the mistakes so you don’t have too

How I started loving me, for me…
 
Mentally, it can be very tough
 
Constantly looking at others and wishing you were them
 
Picking yourself apart and pushing yourself so far down that you start to feel worthless
 
We have all been there, some longer than others
 
Some may still be there, with no way out in sight
 
But I am here to tell you there is a way out
 
As I was once someone who couldn’t go an hour without wishing I was someone else
 
To now be someone who wakes up each day and is grateful to be me!
 
You will be surprised with how much can change

When you finally let all that negative energy go
 
It will feel like the world has been lifted from your shoulders
 
Like you’ve been reborn
 
Ready to start your new life
 
It can be scary, making a change
 
But I will tell you what’s scarier…
 
Staying the same
 
Let’s make change together, 1-1 coaching available, link in bio

I’m forever grateful I did not quit…
 
For years I was always the type to put my body last
 
Even though I was deeply insecure about it
 
I would try hide my insecurities, as most men do
 
When I did have a slight hope of wanting to change, I would usually say something like
 
“I will start next week/month/year”
 
“I don’t know what I am doing so why even bother”
 
Or
 
“The gym is for people who have sh*t personalities”
 
Yes I generally thought that 😳
 
How wrong was I!
 
I think at the time I was envious of the people who go
 
I was very lazy and lacked any motivation, worried about looking like a fool or being judged
 
Even though I wanted what those guys had and that was something to work towards, a body to be proud of
 
But in reality I was just not ready for the commitment and didn’t have the support I needed to get started
 
Crazy to think, that I was once in that place
 
Now I can’t get enough, I am in gym everyday
 
I love it, it’s become my passion and there is no better feeling that pushing yourself to be better, everyday
 
I’m now fortunate enough to be a fully qualified PT and in the position to help the same guys who were me all those years ago
 
Looking back the driving force behind the change was me being sick of the excuses
 
Trust me, It’s so much easier to say you will start next week
 
But once you take your life by the horns and run with it
 
That’s when you will start to see the results and start striving towards the life you always wanted
 
Once the momentum builds, you will become unstoppable 💪🏼
 
For me, giving up is waaay harder than trying
 
So why not take that leap and shove those excuses in the bin and just go for it
 
I think you will even surprise yourself
 
If you need help taking that leap then DM me the word ‘START’ and let’s get this party started baby
