Trying to lose fat and build muscle but not seeing results? You might be sabotaging your progress without even realising it.

Here are 3 common training mistakes that slow fat loss:
1️⃣ Not taking rest days – recovery is where muscle builds and fat burns efficiently.
2️⃣ Fueling incorrectly – eating too little (or too much) can both stall progress. You need enough protein and balanced carbs/fats to perform and recover.
3️⃣ Not progressively overloading – if you’re not gradually increasing your weights, reps, or intensity, your body stops adapting.

Cortisol should naturally fall in the evening, allowing melatonin to rise. At the same time, stable blood sugar keeps your body calm so you can repair, restore, and wake up with energy.

Sustainable evening habits = steady mornings.

Protein is key for building muscle, staying strong, and recovering well 💪 But here’s the thing — not all protein sources are created equal. In this post i show you what 30 grams of protein actually looks like — from chicken and eggs to mince and prawns.

Whether you’re training hard or just trying to eat better, getting enough protein makes a massive difference to your energy, strength, and results. Save this post for your next meal prep! 👇

Anne and Sean started personal training with me 8 weeks ago to get ready for their Christmas wedding — and they’ve absolutely smashed it so far!

✅ Anne is down a dress size
✅ Sean is down two
✅ Both are feeling stronger, more confident, and more energised than ever

They’re halfway through their 16-week plan, and it’s been incredible to see how consistent effort (and a bit of teamwork!) can make such a big difference. If you’ve got a goal — a wedding, an event, or just want to feel better in yourself — now’s the time to start. Bring your partner, your friend, your mammy or whoever for a bit of friendly competition and motivation!

PS. Groups of up to 3/4 people can book in together which helps PT become more cost effective for each of you!

You can do endless reps and sets, but if you’re not gradually increasing the challenge — your body has no reason to change. This simple method works because you’re continuously pushing your muscles to adapt, grow and get stronger. That’s when you start to see real results — more muscle, more strength, more confidence.

Remember: You don’t need to jump to crazy heavy weights. Just small increases over time, done consistently, will completely change your physique and strength.

Your knees take on a huge amount of pressure every single day — from walking and climbing stairs to training in the gym. Building strength around them helps prevent pain, improve balance, and keep you moving confidently.

These simple, effective exercises target the muscles that support your knees — helping you move better and stay injury-free. Whether you’re recovering from a knock or a fall, looking to boost performance, or just want to move without discomfort — consistency is key.

📲 Want a program built around your movement goals or recovery needs? Or need a professional injury specialist / sports masseuse to take a look at your knee? Message or WhatsApp 087 761 0192 to get booked in.
