Monday Motivation

“Strong Starts Matter”

A new week means a new chance to get stronger and today is the very first day for all of our in person and online weightlifters starting their new programme 💪

Remember, consistency always beats perfection.

If all you do this week is show up, lift smart, and fuel yourself, you’re already winning.

Here's a way to really lock in: Choose ONE lift to focus on this week (squat, hinge, press, pull).

Track the weight.
Beat it by 2–2.5kg next week or add a couple of reps with the same weight.

Let's build it! 💪

Happy New Year Everyone 💃🏼🌟

2026 is going to be the best year yet for you! I can feel it 👌

And if you're looking to get started with your health and fitness then look no further...

Most people don’t fail at the gym. They quit because it’s the wrong environment.

Here’s the truth:

People don’t stop training because they’re lazy.

They stop because:

They don’t know what they’re doing
They feel judged.

There’s no structure.

No one actually coaches them
That’s why we run beginner-only weightlifting blocks.

No mirrors.
No ego.
No “just get on with it”.

Just clear coaching, small groups, and steady progress.

I'm messing around with the idea of launching an online membership for the Weightlifting Club!

I appreciate not everyone has the luxury of being able to get to our gym so this would allow you to get involved in the action, be part of our community, get access to all the additional member benefits all from your local gym 💪

What you would get:

🏋️‍♂️Structured training programme (the exact same programming as our in person members via our app!)

💪Monthly meal recipe programme and ideas

💪Member exclusive access to wellbeing events

& A lot more!!

Does this sound like something you'd like to hear more about? If so, drop your email in the form below:

https://form.svhrt.com/6945392dd6001e122eaf5b2b

I will finalise the programme and send you an email in the new year to get started 🌟

P.S who's all set for Christmas? 👀

Two sessions per week improves anxiety & depression 💪💪

That's right folks, the mental health benefits of resistance training are real & a large part of why I spend my time in the gym is simply to manage my own mental wellbeing.

It's amazing the confidence that lifting weights has given me over the years and I see it all the time with our members after a few weeks of showing up 💃🏼

If you're looking to test that theory out, come try a class and drop us a message to have a chat 😊

One of the big things I'm working on for Get Active Coaching CIC is positioning us as the leading voice for getting more people into Resistance Training! That means a lot of actionable posts on here as well as a shift in how we are delivering our services. The Weightlifting Club was a big step towards that mission. The next one is completing my MSc in Applied Public Health with a view to moving towards my PHD next year as well!

With that said, I'd love to know if a digital resource breaking down the messaging barriers or resistance training is something you'd find useful?

For a lot of our members, a big problem was thinking the gym wasn't for them! It was until they stepped foot in our small group sessions they realised it wasn't what they were expecting but I've put together something that hopefully breaks that barrier and helps more people move towards getting stronger sooner!

Would this short eBook be something you'd be interested in? 🤔

All About Get Active Coaching CIC

Get Active Coaching was established in October 2019 as a sport and exercise business with one simple mission: help get more children and adults active through sport and physical activity. It was set up by me! My name is Martin, and I started this business as I love all things sport and exercise. I wanted to find a way that I could use my passion, experience and knowledge to benefit others.

I have been involved in sport all my life and reached a high level in my younger days in both rugby and football. I have been a Rugby Developmment Officer for Scottish Rugby, which is where I gained a huge amount about how to implement sport and exercise in the community. Except this time, its not just for rugby, it is for every sport you can think of. Since my time as a Rugby Development Officer, I have completed my BSC (Hons) in Sport, Fitness and Coaching, achieved numerous sport coaching qualifications, which has given me the foundation to start and build Get Active Coaching!

Now, back to business. Get Active Coaching has recently achieved a huge milestone: We are now a Community Interest Company! I have spent the last 6 months creating partnerships with local organisations to develop working relationships, business parnerships and even assemble a small coaching workforce to help me with my delivery. I can now begin to make a bigger impact in the community through sport and exercise and help people live a healthier lifestyle as a result.
