I just want to say a huge thank you to every client who trained with me this year — whether you came in once a week, trusted me with your rehab, pushed yourself outside your comfort zone, or simply showed up when it would’ve been easier not to. I’m genuinely grateful for the trust, effort, and consistency you’ve put in throughout the year. Seeing people get stronger, move better, feel more confident, and build healthier habits is exactly why I do what I do.

I’m really looking forward to working with existing clients and welcoming new faces in 2026 — new goals, new progress, and plenty of hard work ahead.

Enjoy the time off, enjoy the food, enjoy the moments with family and friends. We’ll be ready to get back at it soon.

Merry Christmas 🎄💪

With most people finishing work soon for the Christmas break, now’s the time to have a simple plan for the break that doesn’t feel restrictive or stressful.

Christmas isn’t the problem — losing all routine is. A little planning now means you enjoy the break without feeling sluggish, sore, or starting January from scratch.

If you want help setting up a simple Christmas break plan that fits around work finishing, family time, and real life — message me.

This is why “willpower” isn’t the problem for most people.

If you under-eat protein, your body keeps pushing you to snack on carbs. If you under-eat salt and minerals, cravings for sugar ramp up. If you under-eat real, whole food, ultra-processed junk fills the gap.

Your body is trying to meet a nutritional need — not sabotage you.

Focus on meals built around:
• quality protein
• whole carbs
• healthy fats
• proper seasoning

Do that consistently and cravings take care of themselves.

A reminder again that gift vouchers are available in the gym that can be purchased and used against training and/or massage appointments in 2026. I can also do gift vouchers for PT plans for 4, 6, 8 or 12 weeks.

This is the perfect gift for either yourself or someone close to you who truly wants to change in 2026.

Pop me a message to order or pop into the gym to collect ( i will be there every day from now until Christmas. If you see the lights on that means i am there!🙌) My phone number is 087 761 0192.

You’re not tired because you train…
You’re tired because you don’t train.

The truth is simple: when you stay still, your energy stays low. But once you start moving — even a little — your body responds with more energy, better mood, and stronger habits.

You just need to start — the energy comes after.

If you want support getting that momentum going, drop me a message. Let’s get you moving, feeling better, and building consistency that actually lasts.

Sometimes we get so caught up in diet culture and influence from 'experts' on social media that we forget that the most simplest approach is really what works the best.

Keeping everything in moderation and ensuring you are getting significant protein in and enough nutrients, you will look better, feel better and have so much more energy.

Pop me a message for specific advice on nutrition that can work along side your training seamlessly.

After 30, you naturally start losing muscle every single year — unless you train your body to hold onto it.
And here’s the truth most people don’t realise:
💪No weights = faster ageing.
🍗No protein = a weaker body.

Muscle isn’t just about looking toned — it’s your body's engine. It keeps you strong, stable, energetic, and improves everything from balance to metabolism to long-term health. Strength training + enough protein = the antidote to age-related decline. It’s never “too late” to start… but the longer you leave it, the harder it gets.

If you want to future-proof your body — now is the time. 📩 Message me to get started.

If you want January to be different, the work starts now.

My Personal Training slots for January are officially open — and every year they fill faster than people expect. If you’ve been saying you’ll “start fresh in the New Year,” this is your chance to actually follow through.

Whether you want:
• 1:1 coaching
• Shared PT with a friend/partner
• A structured plan that fits your lifestyle
• Accountability so you don’t fall off track by week two…

…I’ve got you covered.Secure your spot now, get your plan in place, and walk into January with momentum — not excuses.

📩 Message me to claim your slot before they’re gone.

Resistance training is simply any form of exercise where your muscles work against a force — weights, machines, resistance bands, or even just your own bodyweight. Nothing fancy. Nothing complicated. Just training with intention.

Here’s why it matters:
• You build stronger muscles & bones
This makes everyday life easier — from lifting shopping bags to keeping up with the kids.

• You burn more calories at rest
More muscle = a faster metabolism. Huge advantage for fat loss.

• Your joints get more stable
Better balance, better movement, fewer aches.

• You age better
Strength is one of the biggest predictors of long-term health and independence.

You don’t need hours in the gym or extreme workouts. 2–3 structured sessions per week is enough to see real progress — if you’re consistent.

If you want a plan that actually fits your life, not the other way around, send me a message 💪🙌
