Summer Strong Foundations ☀️

We kicked off our Strong Foundations Summer Course yesterday with an amazing group of kids.

They Squatted, Rowed, Balanced, Slammed and Crunched their way through a challenging couple of hours, doing things they never thought they could and moving equipment that would otherwise have been scary.

They learnt something new about their bodies, about safe and effective movement, and they worked their muscles to failure....which if you listen to The Imperfect PT Podcast, you'll know is how we make them GROW!

If you want your child to grow up Strong, support their chosen sport and learn safe and effective movement, there's still time to sign up for the rest of the summer. Whether it's just a one off session or the remainder of the course, they're guaranteed to have fun with other like minded kids.

I don’t post much nowadays….so let me re-introduce myself....

For those of you who wonder what the hell I do, if you’re new here, are just interested/nosy or just wonder why you still follow me, here’s a little bit about me :)

I’m Amy, I’m 37, and I’m a Strength Coach.

My passion is helping people, men and women, fall in love with lifting weights so much that they want to continue doing it for the rest of their lives.

I love helping people feel the best, strongest version of themselves, whether thats putting on some muscle, losing body fat, or recovering from injury.

I’m here to make you realise that training and levelling up your body is the greatest gift you can give yourself.

If, like me, you want to be here for a long time as well as a good time, you need to start thinking about that NOW.

We can’t just expect our bodies to look after themselves. The one hour you struggle to find yourself now to maintain those strong bones and muscles could be the difference between you being able to get up and down the stairs in 20 years time.

I can’t emphasise enough how this s**t matters….

My biggest frustration: we’re not taught the importance of looking after our bodies from a very young age, and how to continue doing this for the rest of our lives.

Like sleeping at night, brushing your teeth, drinking water and eating vegetables, staying strong isn’t a nice to do, it’s a need to do.

The body is a gift and a privilege and staying strong is our way of saying thank you.

If you want to start getting strong, it’s never too late.

🏋🏻‍♀️💪🏼 STRONG FOUNDATIONS 💪🏼🏋🏼

Our Kids Strength Classes are BACK for the Half Term Holiday!

On Friday 31st May, Nicola and I are hosting our Kids Strength Classes. If your child wants to learn more about their body, master skills like Pull Ups and Push Ups, have fun with other like minded children and build some strength to support their chosen sport then this is the class for them.

We keep these classes at 8 children so they each get personalised coaching from both myself and Nicola. They're kept safe in an environment they can explore movement and strength in a way that will build their confidence.

You can see from the photos how much fun they all had!

After the success and feedback from our last round of classes, there are only 4 places available for the 6-10yo age Group, so be quick if you don't want your client to miss out!

If you want more information then send me a message 📩

Injury and Gratitude

So a couple of weeks ago, I couldn't walk. Crippling pain down my shin and unable to come into any kind of Dorsi Flexion led me to a painful consultation with the wonderful Jess at and a subsequent three hour wait in Minor Injuries, only to be told to go home, rest, not PT and that I had tendonitis.

Fast forward to today. A lot of pain, a doctors visit, an X-Ray and a fragment of bone floating around in the bottom of my tibia....a confirmed stress fracture.

With no trauma or apparent reason for it, I was so frustrated, and in a lot of pain!

I'm not great at resting, but rest I must. No wonderful walks to work in the morning, limited movement and loading through the lower body.

I HAVE to take the weight off.

There's been a lot of tears and frustrations, but I'm never someone who will stay in that place for too long.

So I've focused more on what I CAN do.

I can still lift....hellooooo more upper body and abs.
I can swim.....I made it to the pool four times last week, and have found it deeply calming and meditative. What an opportunity to get better at something new!
I can bike....albeit slowly, it's still movement.
I can rest....this is a lesson, and one I need to learn. There are times to take the weight off and one of them is now!
I can surround myself with amazingly supportive people who lift and inspire me, who I can ask for help, eat cake with, cuddle and watch TV.
I can nourish myself with good food....enough protein, fruits, veggies, limited processed food and more importantly....enough calories! Now is not the time to think about dieting despite my lack of activity.

And finally, I can be patient. To experience the highs, you have to ride out the lows. This is temporary. It won't define me, and in a few months it will all be a memory.

So I'm grateful for my body that WILL recover, and everything that it still can do.

That's pretty cool.

So here I am, with my moon boot, trying to learn the lessons that life keeps wanting to teach me.....so bring it on!

Strong Foundations - Our Children’s Strength Classes

I mentioned a few months ago about our Children’s Classes, Strong Foundations, and it’s time to launch our Taster Sessions!

Easter has crept up on us and despite not being as prepared as we’d hoped, we have TWO sessions available on the 11th April for Age Groups 6-10 and 11-16.

Ages 6-10: 1-3pm
Ages 11-16: 3:30-5:30pm

Price £25 per child

These will be a taste of what we’ll have coming up in the next half term holidays and over the Summer Break.

What can your children expect?

A fun, engaging way to learn about how they move, challenge themselves and support their physical activity and awareness. A positive environment allowing them to connect with their bodies, utilise resistance and their own body weight to challenge themselves and do things they never thought they could. All whilst still having fun and playing!

If that sounds like something your child would enjoy, please click the link below or click the link in my bio on Instagram to secure a spot.

We cap our sessions at 8 places, so it’s small enough that they can learn and get our Coach’s full attention whilst still interacting with the group.

If you want more information then DM me, and we can’t wait to see you.

See you (and your kids) soon!

Discipline 👊🏼

How disciplined are you?

Something that forms the basis of our education when we are younger, yet as an adult, something we very much have to self impose.

Motivation and will-power ebb and flow, and we can’t expect them to be constant, particularly when we’re embarking on any kind of diet, training regime or lifestyle change.

I make no secret of the fact that there are more times that I dislike training than there are sessions that I look forward to and enjoy.

5am wake ups, conditioning pieces, practicing skills I’m not good at, running in freezing cold temperatures, lifting heavy things.

Most of the time, you’re not going to want to do these.

But just like reading, writing, learning a new language or taking up a new sport, discipline needs to be practiced.

Flexing your mental muscles in this way is just as important as the physical ones.

How often do you talk yourself into a session, when it’s so much easier to talk yourself out of one.

Practicing discipline gets easier and more rewarding the more you do it.

Putting your phone down, prioritising protein, going out for a walk, sticking to your training schedule, getting up early, all these things will get easier the more you practice them.

Setting yourself these small mental challenges that you know will be tough builds resilience, good habits, mental determination and internal strength.
�All of these transfer over into your day to day life, work, and your relationships.

Don’t expect results to come by themselves without practicing a little bit of discipline.

Believe yourself when you say……you’ve got this!

Children's Strength Classes

If you've heard me talk about my own experiences with training, you'll know I don't make any secret of the fact I wish I'd have started a lot younger.

My huge passions are getting individuals Strength Training from as early they can, and as long as possible into their later life.

So here is where i'm going to be focusing the growth of my business, with Online PT being very much at the forefront of what I do, but extending that to Children's Strength Classes.

Launching in the Easter Holidays, i'm currently looking for expressions of interest if you want your children to get involved.

If this is something you're interested in for your kids, or you want to ask more information about, click the link in my Bio to be put on the mailing list for updates or send me a DM.

I can't want to start something fun and engaging for your kids, helping them learn about the importance of Strength Training for longevity, independence and physical and mental health.

Why do you need a PT?

You're probably seeing a lot on your social media right now about fitness, training and nutriiton.

The nature of our society now means we can outsource a lot of our needs online. Being able to buy a programme that will tell you how and what to train, log your lifts and weights and keep you accountable is an amazing advancement in fitness.

But that doesn't mean you won't benefit from some In Person Coaching.

You might have learnt how to lift in the gym from watching other people, or poorly executed YouTube Videos.

You might never have learnt about mind to miuscle connection, or tempo, or how to engage your lats, or feel your glutes.

You might never have felt confidence enough to go as heavy as you need to in order to build a significant amount of muscle.

You might also have quit the gym after a few weeks because you really felt like you weren't making progress at all, and despite all your attempts, you never enjoyed it or got those endorphins everyone says you should.

I'm a Personal Trainer and I do exactly that; I train YOU.

The Person.

I asses your movement, come up with a programme and individual sessions for you that suit your needs.

Teach you about YOUR body, how to engage with your muscles and ultimately, see the results you've always wanted to see.

I'm also your biggest hype girl and your number one fan. I'll celebrate your wins, keep track of your progress and listen to you.

In person PT is NOT dead. If you don't know what you're doing or have little confidence in the gym, outsourcing your training to someone else and trying to follow a generic programme is NOT going to get you the results you want.

I will guide you, teach you the basics, build your confidence with the equipment, keep track of your progress and get you lifting the weights you need to lift to see the results that have so far evaded you.

Whether you have one session to hone your technique, or let me take control of your training once or twice a week, in person PT can be INVALUABLE.

Get in touch to ask about my availability for 2024 if you're local to the Bishop's Stortford area 💪
