Scared to step into a gym? Meet Coach Scoey — the head coach who's as qualified as they come and just as much of a lovable idiot. He has been called an immature child, buffoon and a complete idiot, that just from his wife!

At Sanctuary, you'll be pushed, challenged, and yes, sometimes called out... but always with a smile and a laugh. Sessions need to be challenging not boring!

Ready to train with a coach who keeps it real and makes it fun? Comment "Idiot" below and let's get you started!

Ever feel like gyms are more about showing off than actually getting better? At Sanctuary, it's just us oldies working hard—no cameras, no influencers, just real people focused on bettering ourselves together.

05/02/2026

No influencers. No cameras. Just real people, real effort, and a shared goal to get stronger every day.

At Sanctuary Fitness, our members are generally over 30 years old, and share values, ethics, and enjoy the community. Us oldies need to stick together!

Here, you won't find anyone sitting idle on machines or showing off for followers. Instead, you'll find a group of dedicated 'oldies' pushing each other to be better, healthier, and stronger.

Coach Scoey is the only face you'll recognise—leading by example, not by followers.

This is fitness without the noise. It's about consistency, respect, and genuine progress.

If you're ready to join a gym where you belong, where your efforts are celebrated, and where accountability means everything, Sanctuary Fitness is waiting for you.

Want to see how we do it? Comment "READY" below and let's start together.

We hear it a lot, "I am struggling with motivation". Motivation only gets you so far. Habits and consistency are the real things that make you succeed.

Even our coaches have days when they feel unmotivated, but they go to the gym, going to the gym is a habit. Some days they want to eat crap and snack, but having a little soul food and sticking to the plan is a habit. Some days our coaches do not hit their steps, but again these are just some days.

Your days may not be perfect, but you stay consistent majority of the time. Your motivation may not be great but you do part of your session, or hit half of your step target or even have a treat amongst your daily calories. These are habits they will keep progress moving and consistency supports these habits.

One poor day a week will amount to nothing, that is just four poor days in a four week period. That's consistency. Two poor days a week, will have little impact on progress. That is eight days in a four week period, that's consistency.

Consistency beats perfection every time — and we're here to help you stay on track with personalised support and a community that lifts you up.

Ready to make that change?

You're only competing with one person: yourself.

Forget the noise—different bodies, goals, and paths mean your progress is unique. Some might have extra help like drugs, but that's their path, not yours.

Focus on small wins every day. Get better this week, this month, this year.

Track your progress and compare every so often, look at a number of variables such as weight, body fat, lean muscle, strength and movement. Look at the little wins, clothes fitting better, walking upstairs without getting out of breath, being able to walk further that you did the week before or even moving pain free.

It can be boring, but eventually boring brings results.

Everybody wants abs — but are they really the badge of honour they're made out to be?

For my shred at 50, I managed to reveal some chiselled abs, and it felt great. But here's the truth most people overlook: abs are more about lowering body fat than just training your core.

Yes, you need to work your abs like any muscle group. But no matter how much you train them, if your body fat is too high, those muscles won't show. Some lucky folks seem to have visible abs regardless, but for most of us, sustaining that look takes consistent effort in managing body fat. It can be painful!

At Sanctuary Fitness & Conditioning, we focus on personalised coaching that helps you reduce body fat effectively while still building strength and muscle.

So next time you chase abs, remember: it's not just about endless crunches. It's about the bigger picture — your overall body fat and sustainable habits.

What's been your biggest challenge with getting or keeping abs? Share your thoughts below with the word "AbsTruth" — let's start the conversation!

Eat cardboard and get jacked? Sounds crazy, right? That's exactly the kind of nonsense you'll find floating around on social media.

I always joke about "yes just eat cardboard, zero calories and keeps you full, probably better than half of the s**t you see being sold on social media these days". Now AI is being used to sell products like potions, lotions and online coaching. These posts show before and after shots and they looked amazing.

Before AI, you could spot edited before-and-after photos by warped walls or strange backgrounds. Now? The images are so flawlessly altered that it's almost impossible to tell what's real.

This is dangerous. These slick images promote potions and lotions claiming dramatic changes — all powered by AI deception.

So here's my advice: always question what you see on social media. Don't fall for the magic bullet or miracle fix. Real progress comes from honest effort, personalised coaching, and consistent training.

The industry has always be a scary place, a huge multi-million pound industry that preys on people who want quick fixes without the effort. Unfortunately, we have to make the effort, it is hard work in most cases that get results.

Be careful out there people.

Building The Tank!

So if I am to do a HYROX, I need to get back on my ones and twos! My training will start to change with the main goal of building my performance up again and not trying to look jacked! 🤣 I do want to keep the muscle on but not sure how that will go.

So yesterday was the start and focus on building the tank. 4 rounds of 1000m run and 1000m ski, with the final two rounds being walking lunges (100m) and 500m run.

My training will focus on getting that aerobic capacity improved and improve my ability to work tolerate lactic acid, this seems to be my nemesis. Obviously I will need to improve my anaerobic capacity.

My endurance is pretty pump at the moment to be fair. My main worry is my knee that is my no go criteria. It was yesterday after this session.

Finally, my diet needs to change! Yes!!!! More calories and more carbohydrates to replenish the carbs unused. Adding rice (fast carbs) to my breakfast is awesome 🤣.

So it begins, this will either go well or ill end up in an early wheelchair 🤣.

Wish this old dick good luck!

I always took the p**s out of HYROX to be fair but thought I needed to test the old legs again. And I can do this without a top on!

Do hard s**t, feel alive, apparently 🤣

Looking for a gym where everyone gets you?

At Sanctuary Mansfield, 90% of our members are over 30. That means shared values, life experience, and real gym etiquette. No tripods or dodgy crocs on the floor - just a supportive, understanding community that helps you push your limits.

Note: We have nothing against the younger gym users, we just attract people who are 30 years and older. In terms of crocs, it's not great for members trying to dodge dangerous water animals whilst trying to exercise!

Swapping my bacon for turkey rashers has been a game-changer on my Shred at 50. Not only did it slash my calories, but it also boosted my protein intake—key for muscle and recovery as we age.

Small tweaks like this can make a big difference. What simple swaps have helped your fitness goals?
