2016 ➡️ 2026.

I’m not one to jump on social media trends, but 2026 marks a decade in the fitness industry for me, and choices in 2016 set me on a completely different trajectory.

2016
👉🏼 Working a job I hated
👉🏼 Playing football
👉🏼 Dabbling in CrossFit
👉🏼 Starting my PT course and starting to coach
👉🏼 Drinking too much

2026
👉🏼 Own a gym (in the same place I used to train when it was DW)
👉🏼 More than dabbling in Hyrox
👉🏼 Gained 2 degrees
👉🏼 Gained a huge amount of experience coaching for 10 years
👉🏼 Still partial to a drink

I was 26 when I decided I didn’t want to be an electrical engineer and decided to start coaching.

I was in my 30’s when I started my undergraduate degree.

I was 33 when we took a huge gamble and upgraded from our small industrial gym doing classes into a huge commercial space that we weren’t sure we could fill.

One thing I’ve learnt since 2016 is that if you want to do anything, you need to go all in to make it happen.

Judgement free zone? That’s a lie 🤥

As a coach, here’s what I expect from you and judge you on:

👉🏼 Effort
👉🏼 Not skipping reps
👉🏼 Positive attitude/not being a moaning little bitch
👉🏼 Doing the reps properly (I see you 1/4 squatting 👀)
👉🏼 Time keeping

And most importantly…

What football team you support 👀

Honestly, these expectations are the bare minimum. Do these and you’re gonna get results.

You’ll have days when you struggle in a session or fail. That’s fine. Thats normal. As long as the effort is there then you’ll never be judged for that 👊🏼

Your training is only as good as your recovery, and let’s be honest most of you recover like 💩

The 100 point recovery is simple, but it works.

Hit the essentials no matter what.

Take your pick from the rest to make up 100 points.

Here’s an example:

The day after a tough session you have an ice bath in the morning (20 points), have a nap around mid day (50 points), and then do some mobility in the evening (30 points). There’s 100 points for the day.

You won’t need this every single day, but using it after your hard sessions and races/comps will help you to recover so much better.

Looking forward to lacing up for another race in less than 2 weeks time 🏃

2026 = More races. More events. More competitions.

I see too many people training like a beast, but then fuelling themselves like a pauper 🤦‍♂️

It’s great to see so many people training for performance, but if you’re not eating to support it then you’re just gong to train yourself into the ground.

So here are 5 Nutrition Strategies to Maximise Training & Performance 💪🥗

1️⃣ Fuel with carbohydrates – Carbs power high-intensity training and help delay fatigue. Match your intake to your training load.

2️⃣ Prioritise protein – Spread protein across the day to support muscle repair, growth, and recovery.

3️⃣ Nail pre & post training nutrition – Eat carbs + protein before training for energy, and after training to refuel and recover faster.

4️⃣ Hydrate smart – Even mild dehydration hurts performance. Drink regularly and replace electrolytes during long or sweaty sessions.

5️⃣ Support overall health – Eat enough calories and a variety of whole foods to support immunity, hormones, and long-term performance.

Train hard. Fuel smart. Perform better. 🚀
Save this for your next training block ✔️

Tracking to feel good and perform well.

Eating like an adult.

It’s not complicated, sometimes you just need direction and accountability.

If that’s you, I’ve opened ore spaces for coaching both in person and online for 2026 📲

Happy New Year!

Here’s my top tip for 2026 👇🏼

Don’t live the same year twice.

Do something different. Experience new things.

You wouldn’t think it looking at the highlight reel, but that was a pretty rough year.

Celebrate the highs.

Take the lows on the chin.

Keep on growing.
