Body Reach

09/11/2026

Before opening Body Reach Studio, I had one clear vision…

To help people train the way I train. 💪

To become strong, muscular, functional AND fit.

Not just jumping around for 45 minutes, working up a sweat and hoping you’ve burned a 3,000 calories! 😂

I could have taken the easy route…

Squat jumps, mountain climbers, press-ups and endless cardio circuits. And don’t get me wrong, we do some of that too!

But our approach is different.

Our training is built around science, not just sweat. 🧠

We don’t lift light weights for hundreds of repetitions just to feel the burn.

We lift challenging weights, progressively get stronger and develop muscles, bones and bodies that are more capable and resilient.

And technique is 🔑

We put a HUGE emphasis on learning how to move properly, developing strength through effective ranges of motion and making sure every exercise has a purpose.

Because training shouldn’t just leave you exhausted.

It should make you BETTER.

Stronger. Fitter. More muscular. More capable.

And that’s exactly what we’re doing here at Body Reach. 🙌

So, if you’re tired of the same old BodyPump-style classes, endless repetitions and workouts with no real focus on progression…

Come and see what we’re about!

Why choose between looking strong and actually being fit?

I spent years heavily focused on lifting, but moving towards a more well-rounded style of training has made exercise much more enjoyable.

One day I can chase strength.

The next I can improve my aerobic fitness.

Run. Lift. Carry. Move. Perform.

You don’t have to become a specialist in everything — and you can still bias whatever matters most to you.

But there’s something pretty cool about trying to become a human who’s capable across the board.

Strong. Fit. Resilient. Hard to kill. 😂

And yes, that’s my experience…

So what does the actual research say? 👀

So now the real question:

Is sumo easier?

…it depends on your anatomy.

For long-limbed, short-torso lifters—

sumo shortens the hip moment arm.

Your hips move closer to the bar.

Less hinge.
More upright.
More quad contribution.

Moment arm just means
how far the weight is from your joint.

Less distance = less torque.

You’re closing the gap.

Dieting shouldn’t mean thinking about food all day. 😂

A big part of successful fat loss is learning how to get more food, more nutrition and more enjoyment from the calories you have available.

That’s why understanding calorie density matters.

You can either blow through your allowance in a few mouthfuls… or eat a huge amount of food and still stay on track.

Diet smarter, not just harder.

TRT seems to be everywhere at the moment… but do you actually need it? 💉

For some men with genuine hypogonadism, TRT can be life-changing and completely appropriate.

But it can also become a significant long-term commitment — so if there are reversible reasons your testosterone is low, surely they’re worth investigating first?

That’s exactly what got me interested in blood testing.

At 30, my testosterone was 22.1 nmol/L and I had something incredibly useful: a baseline.

Because you can look fit, muscular and healthy on the outside while things are moving in completely the wrong direction underneath.

Bodybuilding taught me that one first-hand.

You can’t improve what you can’t see — and you can’t address what you don’t know is there.

Part 2: what happened when my testosterone started falling… 👀

DON’T FEAR CARDIO — Cardio Won’t Kill Your Gains 💪🏃‍♂️ (part 2)

15/10/2026

If you’re natural, comparing yourself to enhanced physiques is a losing game.

Building muscle naturally takes years — and chasing size alone can eventually become monotonous.

That’s one reason I think bodybuilders should build their aerobic fitness too.

Strong. Muscular. Fit.

Eat your calories, kids! 🍚

No calories, no gainz! 💪😂

Beginners can get away with under-fuelling to a large degree and still make progress.

But once you’re an intermediate to advanced lifter, gaining new muscle becomes progressively harder.

If you’re training hard with the goal of building muscle, you need to make sure you’re actually eating enough to support it.

Think of your training as giving your body the instructions to build…

Food provides the bricks and mortar. 🧱

You can have the best training programme in the world, but consistently under-fuelling isn’t going to maximise your ability to build new muscle tissue.

Do you track your calories — or do you train your arse off without giving much thought to actually fuelling it?

Fu🙅🏻‍♂️k the scales ⚖️ 😂

They’ve messed with your mind for WAY too long!

It’s time to take back control and know your worth!! 🦸‍♀️

Stop letting one number dictate whether you’re making progress.

Getting stronger.
Building muscle.
Moving better.
Feeling fitter.
Having more confidence in what your body can actually do.

None of those things fit neatly into a number on the bathroom scales.

If you want to change how you look and feel, strength training is the BEST place to start. 💪

I’m currently running the Body Reach 4-Week Strength Project here in Chorley.

4 weeks.
8 fully coached strength & fitness sessions.
A personal Start Point.
Simple progress tracking.

£59 for the full four weeks (limited time).
