I’m a big fan of log booking every workout… Your log book can be your friend, it can help keep you accountable to yourself, it can help keep you focused/on track, and it can help give you feedback if your progress starts to stall… However, in order to examine your numbers accurately you […]
Sweating… It’s pretty common for people to feel self conscious about sweating during exercise. This is totally understandable, as sweating is an involuntary action controlled by the autonomic nervous system, which is the part of our nervous system over which we have zero control. We don’t consciously think to ourselves ‘this is tough, […]
I’ve always had a passion for ‘traditional’ weight training, but I now enjoy including a wider range of training styles into my programming. I like the challenge of working on my weaknesses and areas I’ve neglected over the years. Box jumps have become part of regular routine now and they are progressing nicely…(you can […]

Whenever any business is allowed to reopen I am behind it 100%. However, […]
(Try to) Remove your emotion: In order to adjust to training at home, my advice to you is to try remove your emotional attachment to the gym. If you asked me how I feel about the gym, I would naturally reply: ‘I love it’! That is a powerful emotion! Theres not many things that we […]
You NEED a plan b… In my experience I would say the average person (I’m talking general population here) typically sets a target of exercising 3 x per week. Whether that’s gym sessions or classes or a combination of both. However, life often gets in the way(work, kids, long days, meetings, the list goes on..…) […]
I began my career in fitness when I was 21 & I’ve learnt a lot in my 21 years of doing this… I look back at some of the things I used to believe & some of the advice I used to give out and its embarrassing! Training wise I wasted a LOTS of time […]
