LivFit at Studio 22

01/07/2026

I have just posted it in our local towns Facebook group with an update for July. Yes July!

Half the year has gone… but half is still to come.

So here’s a question…

*What could your health, fitness and confidence look like by the end of the year if you started today? *💭

It always amazes me how quickly we get to this point of the year, and every year I hear people say things like…

“I’ll start after the summer.”
“I’ll wait until the kids are back at school.”
“I’ll do it when life calms down.”

But what if you didn’t?

📆Six months is long enough to build real strength, move with more confidence, have more energy ⚡ and create habits that genuinely last. It isn’t about being perfect. It’s about giving yourself the chance to feel better by Christmas than you do today. ✨

At Studio 22 I work with people from all walks of life. Some are training for events, others are recovering from injury, and some feel they’ve lost themselves to motherhood or menopause and want a little help finding themselves again.

But most simply want to feel stronger, move better and have more confidence in their bodies.

And honestly, every one of those goals matters. 🙌🏻

Studio 22 was never built to be an intimidating gym environment. It’s a calm, focused coaching space where people can learn properly, train properly and work towards goals that actually matter to them. 🤍

I currently have a few personal training spaces available and will continue to coach throughout the summer. ☀️

If you’ve been thinking, “I’ll start one day,” maybe make today be the day you book to come and see the space and have a chat.

🚗 And you don’t have to worry about where to park either, we’ve got space right outside, so every part of your visit is as easy and stress free as possible.

If you’d like to know more, just drop me a message or visit LivFit.uk.

👋🏻Hi, I’m Liv.

If you’re new here, I thought it was time I properly introduced myself.

Over the last few months you’ve seen a lot of Studio 22 on this page.
>The equipment.
>The coaching.
>The new dumbbells.
>The occasional chaos caused by Mat 😂

But behind all of that is me.

I’m a Strength and Conditioning Coach and Sports Massage Therapist, and I help people build strength, confidence and trust in their bodies.

🩼 Some of my clients come to me after injury and need support rebuilding strength safely.

💪🏻Some want to feel stronger and more capable in everyday life.

💉Some are navigating weight loss with GLP-1 medications and want to protect their muscle, mobility and long term health while they do it.

Most aren’t athletes.

They’re busy people juggling work, family, injuries, confidence, changing (and age-ing) bodies and all the other demands that come with real life.

The thing I love most about coaching isn’t the equipment, the programmes or the progress trackers (Although I love a good spreadsheet 📈)

It’s hearing things from my clients like:

🤍 “I feel stronger than I have in years.”

🤍 “I never thought I’d be able to do that.”

🤍 “I feel confident enough to continue on my own.”

Those moments matter.

Because strength isn’t just about lifting weights. It’s about building confidence that carries over into the rest of your life. And Studio 22 is where that happens 🙌🏻

The goal was never to build a gym. The goal was to build a place where people feel comfortable enough to start and supported enough to progress.

Three months in, we’ve coached clients in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s, helped people return from injury, having babies, build confidence in the gym and achieve things they genuinely didn’t think they could do.

And honestly, I couldn’t be happier with how it’s going 🤍

If you’re new here, I’d love to know a little about you. Tell me what brought you to the page 👇

Mat definitely had his own interpretation of what “testing” gym equipment meant… 😅💥

🏋️‍♀️ We already have a full dumbbell rack here at Studio 22… and honestly, I can’t fault it.

BUT 👀

Musclesquaduk recently asked us to test their Elite Adjustable Dumbbells, so this week I put them through their paces during an entire dumbbell push session.

If I’m honest, I’ve always slightly avoided adjustable dumbbells in the past. I assumed they’d feel clunky and I wasn’t massively sold on the look of them.

First impressions though?

✔️ Really easy to adjust
✔️ 2kg increments all the way up to 32kg
✔️ Surprisingly comfortable grip
✔️ Massive space saver for home gyms

One thing I genuinely noticed straight away was the handle design. Because it’s not cold bare metal like many fixed dumbbells, it was actually much kinder on my Raynaud’s than I expected.

I also really liked the 2kg jumps between weights. It feels much closer to the progression options you’d get in a commercial gym and gives a little more flexibility than larger jumps between dumbbells.

Today was just a first use, so I’m looking forward to trying more movement patterns and different training sessions with them over the next few weeks.

Ask me again after split squats on leg day 😅

One thing Mat is really good at as a coach is meeting people where they are.

Whether that’s someone returning after injury, somebody completely new to the gym, a teenager building confidence, or someone wanting to keep strong and capable as they get older, he adjusts the coaching to the person in front of him.

No ego. No copy and paste programmes. Just good coaching, real conversations, and helping people move forward safely and confidently 💪🏻

I think these photos sum that up perfectly 🤍

This week in Studio 22 we’re coaching clients in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s 💪🏻

Different ages, goals, experience and starting points. BUT, every single one of them is showing up and investing in their future self.

Because strength training isn’t about chasing perfection or trying to turn back the clock. It’s about building a body that supports the life you want to live. For all our clients this is about living with more confidence, energy, resilience and independence…both today, and tomorrow and all the days that come after

Age is just a number—strength is a choice! 💪 Today’s upper session in Studio22 proves that training in your 50s+ isn’t just possible, it’s essential for energy, mobility, and confidence. Never too late to level up!"

Mat has his own page 📄

If you’re looking to start your gym journey, or you’ve been thinking about it for a while but don’t quite know where to begin… go and give him a follow.

He understands what it feels like to start something later in life (for him it was skiing), to rebuild when you’ve had a break, and to show up when things aren’t always easy.

Because it’s not just about getting stronger physically, it’s about what that does for your head too.🧠

Strength, confidence, and a bit more belief in yourself, one session at a time. 👊🏻
