plan your training, gym routines, hiit, circuits and track workouts. Your fitness is a choice, you choose to take part or not

I've always loved the fitness industry, taking in all aspects of it like a sponge. So if i get to share that knowledge with others, well thats what All PTs should want. A client so impressed with their new found confidence that they spread the word of your service. Thats success...

Consistency wins.

Shoulder pin presses. Dead-stop strength. No momentum. No excuses.

Explosive push-ups onto Reebok steps… these absolutely wipe me out. I’m chasing 15 reps, but I’m stuck at 10–12 before I’m completely spent. Every set leaves me hanging… and I still got eight rounds done. That’s progress.

Finished with explosive single-leg box jumps to build power, balance and expose weaknesses.

I’m not training to survive sessions. I’m training to become stronger, faster and harder to break.

This is the standard I’m setting. Every rep. Every session. Every single time.

To everyone I train, I just want to say thank you.
I never realised that becoming a personal trainer would also mean making genuine friendships. Thank you for trusting me, listening to my advice, and putting into practice everything we work on together. Watching your progress and being part of your journey is something I never take for granted.
I’m truly grateful for every one of you.

Had to share this because this is genuinely what training with Clive is like! 😂🐶

He’s an absolute dog whisperer. He always brings treats, and now every dog that passes knows he’s the biscuit man! They all come running over to say hello.

This pretty much sums up our PT sessions… a workout with a few four-legged interruptions! 💪🤣

IS WEIGHT LOSS THE GOAL… OR IS IT THE TRICK WE’VE ALL BEEN FOOLED BY? 🤔

We’ve been taught to stare at the scale like it’s the only scoreboard. But here’s the truth most people miss:

You can get fitter, stronger, and leaner… while your weight stays EXACTLY the same.

Why?
➡️ 1kg of muscle is still 1kg but takes up HALF the space of 1kg of fat
➡️ your waist shrinks, clothes fit better, you look and feel different but your the same weight, Lost fat, gain muscle and scale doesn’t move…
➡️ Better fitness = muscles store more fuel & water – that’s extra weight, but it means your body is getting stronger

The scale can’t measure:
✅ How much easier your workout feels
✅ How far you can run or lift now
✅ Your energy levels or sleep quality
✅ How much healthier you actually are

You can lose weight and become less fit. You can keep the same weight and become capable of things you never thought possible.

Stop chasing a number. Start chasing what your body can DO.

Have you ever hit a plateau on the scale while making huge progress elsewhere? Drop a comment!

People often think a good workout has to involve lifting heavy weights.

Today proved the opposite.

Today’s session was all about elasticity, movement, coordination, and functionality. I didn’t even pick up a weight, and it was one of the most enjoyable sessions I’ve had in a long time.

Being strong is great, but being able to move well is what really matters. Running, jumping, changing direction, absorbing force, staying balanced, and controlling your body are all skills that deserve just as much attention as strength.

As I’ve got older, my training has evolved. I still love lifting weights, but I also want a body that can move efficiently, stay resilient, and handle whatever I ask of it.

Today’s session challenged me in a completely different way, and I loved every minute of it.

Train for more than muscles, train for movement, train for life.

Vinnie (Victoria) absolutely smashed it today! 💪

We got through a lot of work, but one thing I really appreciate is how quickly she takes on feedback. I’ll explain something, she’ll give it a go, make a small adjustment, and within a few attempts she’s already improving.

That ability to listen, adapt, and apply coaching is a real skill. For a lot of people, changing movement patterns takes time, so seeing someone pick things up so quickly is brilliant.

She worked incredibly hard from start to finish and put in a fantastic effort.

Well done, Vinnie! 👏 Keep it up!

A great morning down at the track today doing some sprint work and mobility drills. It was just the three of us this week, as Noah had to give it a miss because his leg was hurting.

The weather was great, the track was quiet, and it was one of those sessions that just reminds you why you love training. A little bit of speed, a little bit of movement, and a lot of hard work.

A brilliant start to the day.
