The NEW 6-week class blocks begin this week 💪

▪️Just a quick reminder to please make payment before your block start thank you 🙏

💡 I am possibly going to run some small group LIFT (Barbell) Workshops over the next month or two. If this is of interest to anyone just give me a shout. Workshops will last 90mins and cover a main compound lift and variants.

Thank you and see you all this week 🙌

Cheers Ruth ☺️

🟢 HYROX Glasgow 2026 🟢

The world’s most talked-about Functional Fitness event is continuing to grow, and now HYROX Glasgow will be hosted over five days to meet the incredible demand, starting Wednesday next week.

I’d like to wish all The PT Studio members the very best for the event. For some it’s their first time stepping onto the HYROX floor, and for others it’s about coming back stronger, improving their times, and soaking up that incredible atmosphere once again.

Over the past three years, The PT Studio has helped Orkney participants get HYROX-ready — from complete beginners to experienced competitors.

This has included:

✅ Fully individualised HYROX Strength & Conditioning training plans
✅ The 8-Week HYROX Build Base Plan
✅ 1:1 Technical Coaching sessions
✅ 6-Week “Road to Glasgow” specific coached S&C classes
✅ Saturday HYROX class sessions
✅ Private training slots for dedicated preparation

It’s always an absolute pleasure to coach folk preparing for a HYROX event. Watching everyone grow in confidence, strength, and athleticism throughout the training process is what makes it all worthwhile.

💪 The hard work is done.
📈 Now it’s time to trust the training, believe in your ability, and enjoy the event you’ve prepared for.

This is your moment to shine ✨

🎥 Every year you guys take over The PT Studio Stories, reaching hundreds of people and inspiring more and more people across Orkney to give HYROX a go.

The support from home is amazing — people love watching the race clips and updates, and they’re all rooting for you to smash it 💪

Good luck to everyone — go enjoy it 😍

All the very best Ruth

Give Ruthie a bit of encouragement and dig deep for her HYROX Charity where she will compete in the Solo Female section in Glasgow in March.

Ruth is one of my longest PT Studio clients and and also can say friend 🥰

🎉 Happy New Year 💫 Everyone 👋
Hope you have all enjoyed the festive period and found a moment to recharge.

✅ The Studio reopens on Tuesday 6th of Jan ready to restart classes and welcome back all regular PT clients to their weekly slots.

📞 I will be in touch with all current class members today and post up any remaining spaces in the 8 Week blocks for anyone who would like to join a class.

This year will see more PT Studio clients taking on HYROX 🔥 in various locations with the majority hitting Glasgow in March.

▪️Training blocks continue for a few of us taking part in ATHX Games, Glasgow in June. I will be stepping up for the Solo Female Pros this year.

📈 There is continued athletic development for The Youth Performance Training Academy as it goes into its 3rd year of the Academy. A few spaces will become available this year as a few athletes will graduate from the academy. Please get in touch if you would like to enroll your youth (S1-S4).

🔸 There will be an EXTRA HYROX class beginning in a few weeks for a 6 week block for the final preparation for Glasgow. Time and Day to be confirmed. This class will include speed specific drills, technical proficiency on all Rox Zones and compromised workouts. Both Hyrox blocks will have a taper towards March.

🌏 The Online Package continues for its 5th year which is open for people to subscribe monthly. This allows everyone to exercise in their own time, own space by following structured workouts and stretch & mobility sessions I have designed. Please get in touch if you would like to join for January.

📱 The PT Studio Training platform continues to grow. 2025 had a record number participants following various plans either specific after an initial consultation or pre designed. This is an area that will develop further this year after a lot of positive feedback. Please get in touch for more information regarding the platform and getting on a plan.

I am looking forward to helping you all achieve your goals 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣6️⃣ and importantly help keep structure and support to your training schedule and exercise routines.

Ruth☺️

🔈 Shout out to HYROX Class members Kat & Linzi who leave for London tomorrow to take on their 4th HYROX event.

They competed as doubles in Glasgow March 2024, Solo in London Dec 2024. They went on to raised £1710 for MacMillan as doubles in March 2025 in Glasgow and on Friday 5th of December will be their 2nd time competing Solo in London. 💪💪

What does Hyrox mean for you I asked Kat
“Doing Hyrox has given me a target for myself, pushed my comfort boundaries and built more structure into workouts/running. The base building plan started me off and the studio classes have been a huge benefit as well as the social aspect of working out with others. I have seen a change in fitness levels and body composition just through a change in workout style. Hyrox training has become something that I do for myself, fitting it in around the boys and working.”

Kat continued “I think it’s important to remember that Hyrox is for everyone and not just the social media hype that we see. Everyone is there for their own reasons, some to be the fastest and others just to complete their own personal race and enjoy it. I certainly won’t be the fastest but I can only hope to improve on my last time 🤞”

I asked Linzi how she’s feeling about Friday and what HYROX means to her.
“I’m ready for my next HYROX, nervous but ready” she continued
“Hyrox gives me a sense of achievement, great training partners, shared suffering and shared victories.
I always like to have a goal to work towards and Hyrox gives me that. A reason to train and focus for the next event. Training for HYROX in the Studio with Ruth and the other class members has become something I look forward to at the end of the week. I feel ready to take on London. I’ve learnt the finish line becomes less about the time and more about the person you had to become to get there “
Linzi said “I’d give any advice it would be to focus on your own race. HYROX is so inclusive, if I can do it anyone can!!!”

The girls kick of on Friday
✅ Linzi @ 15.20 in the 40-44 age group
✅ Kat @ 15.40 in the 30-33 age group

⭐ They will be taking over The PT Studio stories from camera man Leonard 🎥 📸 so be sure to give them lots of encouragement and support 🤩

All the best to you both super excited to hear how you get on - your progress over the years has been really consistent let that shine on Friday. Go in with confidence and finish strong. 💪

Who remembers The PT Studio Christmas Advent Calendar 2019 😂 ??

Came across the group page I set up on Facebook for it. It gave me a good laugh watching the challenges back and all your video entries 😍

Watch until the end a few familiar faces 😜

🔴 🎥 Short clip from the Youth Performance Training Academy Winter block 🔴

… When young athletes develop strength, speed, and agility early, they gain the physical capacity needed for the demands of higher-level sport as they mature. They can learn sport skills faster and perform them better…

The structure of the Academy helps educate the athletes on proper warm-ups, why we do certain drills at certain times within a session, technical proficiency in movements, how to cool down and what stretch works what muscles to name a few. These athletes also learn to respect the equipment they use, gym etiquette & safety.

The Academy hopes to develop positive habits the young athletes can use as they get older to enhance their training and longevity of their health and fitness.
