Extremely proud of everything this gym stands for 💜

Proud to have created a space where people can train hard…but can also talk and laugh and be themselves with their friends, strangers, and strangers who have grown to become friends.

If people are going to dedicate their precious time to exercising in this gym, I want it to be worthwhile.
First and foremost it has to be effective. It has to do what it is designed to do…improve a variety of aspects of fitness to the betterment of people’s health and fitness.

But I want it to be so much more than that.

I want it to be fun, enjoyable and I want people to leave every single session glad that they made the decision to train with us.

As you see in both of these videos…I often take a step back, observe and appreciative everything this gym has become.
Listen to the energy, the connection and the enjoyment everyone has just communicating with each other ☺️ followed by the session itself. Every single person locked in and focussed on the task at hand, each performing a different movement. Yet every single person knows exactly what they’re supposed to be doing and how to do it.

Training with purpose and intent, but also HAVING FUN!!!
One thing I think we do very well is find a brilliant balance between graft and banter. We all have a brilliant time together…but everyone understands the main purpose: get fu***ng wired right in about it 💪🏻💪🏻

A gym is nothing without its members…I couldn’t be luckier with the group who’ve decided to use our gym as their fitness HQ 🙏🏻

Sensational Vibes training on holiday 🥵🇬🇷🔥

But why would you train on holiday??
For me, its very simple:

Health and Fitness is my life. It’s my job, it’s my passion, it’s my hobby and I absolutely love it!!!

It’s not about keeping my body weight down, or maintaining my physique, or “earning” all my holiday cocktails and all inclusive meals…I do it because I love it.
It’s part of my daily routine.
I don’t go on holiday to get a break from training, I wouldn’t feel better for missing it. In all honesty…I’d feel worse!

Exercising on holiday (or anywhere) should never be done so as a punishment…or in order to “earn” rewards such as food or drink. That can be such a damaging mindset.
Being able to blend travelling the world and maintaining my passion for health and fitness simultaneously…is a privilege. 🙏🏻

Not to mention the fact I’ve got Hyrox Madrid in 3 weeks 🫠🫠 which was all the motivation I needed to abstain from Pina Colada or Spicy Passion Fruit Margs for breakfast until after I’d trained 😅😅

The best week away 💜

What a week ☀️🇬🇷🫶🏻🍹

Just what the doctor ordered ☺️ couldn’t have asked for a better holiday at a better time. It’s been an insane year so far…year 2 has been unbelievably busy!!
The gym is absolutely flying and individually it’s been a huge year of training and competing 💪🏻💪🏻
So a chilled week in the sun with was the perfect way of recharging the batteries 🧘🏼 a mixture of amazing food and drinks, total relaxation, incredible weather and some fun training sessions on the stunning island of Crete…was a genuine dream ☺️🙏🏻

And now…I’m back in the game!!! I’ve said it many times before but I’ll say it again - I’m so fortunate to never experience that feeling of dread when returning to work!! On the contrary…I cannot wait to get stuck back in about it!! 👊🏻

It’s shaping up to be a big end to the year at RMPT with the gym growing from strength to strength - already looking forward to a massive 2026 🤩

Next up on the personal agenda for me… Madrid 4 weeks today!! 👊🏻🇪🇸
So a big few weeks of training is in order!

Back in the Game!!

Final Sunday Service completed today before the team tackle .uk next week in Glasgow 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Super Sunday with some of the .uk gang 💪🏻🔥

I honestly don’t even know where to start with this guy 🥹

Proud doesn’t even nearly begin to cut it.

I’d firstly like to congratulate Bobby on absolutely smashing the Scottish Half Marathon 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 an achievement that Bobby would’ve considered impossible at the beginning of this year.

So how did Bobby get to the finish line of a race he would’ve never considered himself fit enough to run?

Well in just over 7 months, Bobby lost an absolutely remarkable… ***73!!!*** pounds 😱😱😱😱 yes…that’s over 5 stone!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That is an absolute life changing achievement right there…and I couldn’t be more proud of him.

But alongside this remarkable fat loss progress…Bobby trained like an absolute demon. He got fitter…and stronger…he was doing PT every week, gyming it 2-3 times per week and running 2-3 times per week as well, including a Saturday park run where he got his 5k PB down to below 30 minutes 🙌🏻

He started doing longer runs…which begged the question: “do you think you could do a half marathon big man?”

Nah…no chance, he said…
ANYWAY - with only 4 weeks until the Scottish Half Marathon, Bobby signed up. And I can’t even begin to tell you how proud I felt to get a big high five as I seen him striding towards that finish line 🥹🥹👏🏻👏🏻

I hope you realise just how incredible a year you’ve had mate…you should be immensely proud of yourself.
The work this guy has put into this project…week in and week out has been nothing short of incredible.

He trained like a demon 💪🏻
Tracked his nutrition 🍏
He was consistent, disciplined and dedicated.
And now he is exponentially fitter…healthier…and happier 😊 which is what it’s all about.

This isn’t the end of this story though…the Big Man’s not done yet 🫡

He may know absolutely nothing about football…but he knows a thing or two about hard work.

An inspiration to us all 🙏🏻💜

Well done Robert.

Scottish Half Marathon 🥵🔥🏅
Well that was…an experience!!! It honestly felt like we were running on the surface of the sun 😅 luckily as some might have seen…I’d forced myself to train on even the hottest of days and I think that paid off…managing a PB of 145:54. 10 minutes quicker than my previous effort in 2014.
I honestly believe I’ve got quicker in me…which is exciting! But that was genuinely everything I had to give that day.

Due to the conditions, Sunday became a test of far more than just strength and fitness…anyone who ran on Sunday should be immensely proud of their efforts 👏🏻👏🏻 because that heat was no joke!!

Huge thank you to everyone who came out to support 🙏🏻💜 there is no boost quite like seeing and hearing your friends and family when you’re absolutely burst and in need of a boost 😊

Next up…Hybrid Games in just over 4 weeks then it’s the Hyrox Solo Debut in Madrid this November!!!

SO…no rest for the wicked as next phase of this journey is just about to commence 😎🤘🏻

It’s finally time to share…one of the best transformations I’ve ever had the pleasure of being involved in…congratulations on your incredible success Darryl Little!!! 🤩🥳

In just less than 6 months 🗓️
Darryl has lost a staggering 60lbs / 27kg / Over 4 Stone 😱😱😱

That is aaaaaabasolutely sensational fat loss in that timescale 🔥🔥🔥

So what is the secret to truly remarkable fat loss? In Darryl’s case…it is complete, total and utter consistency!!! He was the definition of locked in 🔐 for the entire duration of this project and thoroughly deserves these sensational results 🤝🏻

This transformation is genuinely so much more than the simply shedding body fat…because I know how unhappy Darryl had become with his fitness and his physique.
So having a front row seat, to watching him turn this around has honestly been incredible to witness 🙌🏻

Captain Consistency became one of the most efficient box tickers I’ve ever worked with…as day after day and week after week - Darryl made absolutely sure that he was nailing every single aspect of his project. And just look at the results 😮‍💨

Stronger 💪🏻
Leaner 📉
Healthier 🍏
Happier 😊

Incredible work young man 🫡🤝🏻 you should be so so proud of what you’ve achieved here…because I certainly am!!

Jobs not done though…we move into the next phase of this journey on Friday 👊🏻

Looking forward to seeing what we can go on to achieve mate!! 🤝🏻

Well done 👍🏻
