Sometimes as a 1 person fitness business owner you feel like your invisible to the potentially 000's of people in your local area who need some help keeping on top of their Fitness, Nutrition & Lifestyle habits even though they know they really need to in order to live a fuller life.

So you have to do some silly 'the algorithm can't see me posts' like this in order to possibly grab someoneโ€™s attention & make them aware of how you can help (even though you don't actually want attention ๐Ÿ˜ญ!)

So here's my pitch >> I changed career to follow my passion and work in the Health & Fitness space as I'm pretty obsessed with how physical movement, healthy nutrition & better lifestyle habits can actually make us feel & look amazing if we just have a system that's personalised & sustainable for our busy lives.

I also love to see people go from feeling stuck & unhappy with their body composition or general health &/or fitness/mobility to a place where they are leaving a session beaming as they've expressed themselves physically at the correct intensity, & are feeling the very real benefits both mentally & physically!

I've also decades of experience running, resistance training, doing conditioning work & improving my mobility & as a result i'm injury free & moving well in my late 40's & have lots of hacks & knowledge in those areas to share with you.

And I just so happen to have 2-3 spaces left in my recent offer of a totally freeeee 60-90 minute Personal Training taster session that will include a consultation around your needs & goals & also some (optional) baseline assessments to see exactly where your fitness & general health is at right now in November 2025. We will also have a look at your current Nutrition & Lifestyle habits together and see if thereโ€™s anything that needs a little tweak for a healthier you in the short term.

(... and Iโ€™ve some Christmas/January discounts available for you or a friend/family member if timing not right now).

And I definitely don't want to do anymore of these posts (!!)
..so comment MOUSTACHE if you want some more information!๐Ÿคธโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Itโ€™s World Menopause Day today!

As a man Iโ€™m not going to pretend I fully understand the symptoms & individual experiences of many women.
However, most of my clients are women who show up to their sessions not feeling as good as they used to.

โ€ข 95% of them are working mums who have little time to rest from work & family roles, never mind deal with the effects of changing hormone levels in their bodies
โ€ข 80% of them have experienced body composition (muscle to fat ratio) changes.
โ€ข 100% of them leave feeling better after exercise.

Q. So does exercise really help offset the symptoms of the Menopause?

The SWAN (Study of Womenโ€™s Health across the Nation) study:
In the 1990โ€™s, various health professionals in America carried out a large observational study on 000โ€™ of women in the 40โ€™s-60โ€™s age range at different stages of their Menopausal transition. The results of the study highlighted key physical & cognitive changes women of different ethnicities experienced.
Hereโ€™s two of the biggest โ€˜physical healthโ€™ changes women experienced:

Bone density loss:
โ€ข โ€œBone loss is fast for about 3 years, & continues in post menopause, albeit more slowlyโ€.
Loss of lean muscle & an increase in body fat
โ€ข โ€œDuring the menopausal transition, women tend to gain fat mass & lose lean muscleโ€ (quicker than someone whoโ€™s not in this transition).

See link to the study below >>>

Iโ€™m not a medical professional, but as an exercise professional staying within my remit, I know from experience that:

- Resistance training will increase both muscle size & bone density, once progressive.
- The right combination of resistance training & cardiovascular work will tap into stores of body fat quicker than say, going for a run.
- Both of these results will accelerate positive body composition changes, as you will have less body fat leaving your lean muscle more visible.

So, if youโ€™re already experiencing symptoms, or you just want to make some changes to your exercise routine in advance, the SWAN study is worth a read.
If you want to see what a session would look like that increases muscle & bone density while also burning body fat comment FREE TASTER SESSION below.

Strength training has become more mainstream again with the growth of both male & female fitness influencers looking strong while moving some form of resistance.
However, many people still donโ€™t do it because they think they will look too bulky from lifting weights, or more commonly think itโ€™s hard work so why bother when they could just go for a run!

I would say still go for that run as itโ€™s a fantastic form of exercise that gets you outdoors & will by default โ€˜strengthenโ€™ your cardiac muscle! But for your next workout, grab those weights!

Why? Because ignore your Musculoskeletal system at your peril! It plays a crucial role by giving us our form, but also Motor Control & general movement. Consistent strength training as we age will also help stave off:

- Osteopenia (loss of bone density)
- Sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass)

Tori (pic) has lifted weights for years as she really enjoys it. However, she wanted some Personal Training so she could โ€˜get and feel strongerโ€™. She is already doing some strength training in my classes, so I knew her technique was excellent - so how did I approach her programme design?

1. She completed my 20-minute โ€˜Body, Move, Workโ€™ Assessment to gather some baseline data on body composition, movement (d)efficiencies and current strength levels.
2. Keeping that information as a priority I programmed the best exercises that would go with each of the 6 functional movement patterns for full bodied balanced strength.
3. Finally, I applied the most suitable loads, reps, sets, tempo, and rest periods to get her optimal results.

The result is a progressive strength-based program specifically for her which she completes with me x2 a week.

As a busy working mum, she sometimes has that same excuse in her head about just going for that run, but she also knows that by including strength training into her exercise routine she will not only become stronger, but also feel stronger. She will also get a huge sense of accomplishment knowing sheโ€™s resisted resistance itself; pushing, pulling & squatting it out of her way! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ‹๏ธโ€โ™€๏ธ

Iโ€™ve been working with Sujay since January with the goal of getting him back into the habit and discipline of exercising regularly, with the knock-on health benefits of keeping his body composition within healthy ranges for his age.
Heโ€™s lucky in that heโ€™s a naturally fit, flexible and lean guy so the margins for progress are quite small yet heโ€™s aware that being this way can make you a little complacent about your health and so he wanted to take some action.

In every session we work on some of the key components of physical fitness such as improving his mobility, core and abdominal strength, improving his cardiovascular endurance and stamina with short intervals of repeatable work, while also working on building strength across the main functional movement patterns of Squatting, Bending, Pushing, Pulling and Lunging.
We mix sessions up between bodyweight and resistance-based exercises as well as Boxing for cardio, and Plyometrics so weโ€™re moving his heart rate through all its zones with the goal of constantly burning energy (calories) while simultaneously building strength in the same session.

Having a Personal Trainer keeps Sujay accountable so that he stays focused on the work that needs to be done to reach his health goals, even though his job requires him to be online all the time.
If this resonates with you send me a DM and Iโ€™ll suggest some ways you can realign your busy week to focus not only on your job, but more importantly on your own health, fitness and longevity also.
