One of the biggest misconceptions we hear is:

“I need to get a bit fitter before I join.”

You really don’t.

In fact, that’s kind of the point of joining.

Priority 6 isn’t a room full of already-fit people doing impressive things. It’s a room full of normal people, all at different stages, working on becoming fitter, stronger and healthier.

Some people arrive with years of training experience.

Others haven’t exercised properly in a decade.

Some can lift heavy weights.

Some are learning how to squat confidently for the first time.

Some want to compete.

Others simply want to keep up with their kids, feel better in their clothes or stop getting out of breath walking upstairs.

Good coaching means you don’t need to arrive at a certain standard.

We meet you where you are.

We adjust the movements, loads, intensity and complexity to suit your current ability, then progressively move you forward from there.

You don’t get fit enough to join Priority 6.

You join Priority 6 to get fitter.

The most common thing I hear from people on GLP-1 medications is that they are eating well and doing some cardio.

That combination produces weight loss. It does not produce good body composition.

The part that gets missed... appetite suppression does not know to protect protein intake. When your hunger drops, your protein intake drops with it. And without adequate protein and resistance training, a caloric deficit in a GLP-1 user creates conditions where lean mass is not being preserved.

The drug is doing its job. The two things that complete the job are protein at 1.6 to 2 grams per kilogram per day, and lifting at minimum twice a week.

Not because of aesthetics. Because the difference between a good GLP-1 outcome and a poor one is whether you arrived at the new weight with your muscle or without it.

Do you want a pancake Ozempic butt... or a bubble butt... the choice is yours!

Hey Kids are going back to school! Amazing news for us parents!

Just wanted to let you know that were running a "Strong September Challenge" for those over 30!

We are looking for 5 people over 30 who have put themselves last and now want to make September the month they made a difference to their health!

Why Strength Training Is Essential After 30!

As we get older, maintaining muscle becomes more important.

Without strength training, we naturally lose muscle mass, which can impact metabolism, posture, and overall health.

At Priority 6 in Abingdon, we help members build strength safely and progressively.

This supports:
• Better movement and joint health
• Increased energy levels
• Improved body composition
• Long-term resilience

Strength training is not just for athletes. It is one of the most important tools for staying healthy and capable over time.

If you are looking for a gym in Abingdon that focuses on strength and long-term health, we would love to help.

Get in touch to find out more about our 30 day "Strong September Challenge".
5 x 1:1 sessions with a coach.
Nutrition coaching throughout.
Inbody scan showing us your muscle mass and body fat on day 1 and 30.
Unlimited Group Coaching Sessions
Access to Open Gym
Access to a host of other 30+ year old local Abingdonites who are on that same journey you are!

I understand this one because I live it.

I run a business. I’m a husband. I’ve got two kids. There are weeks where the diary is ridiculous and finding another hour for training isn’t realistic.

But I’ve also learned that waiting for life to become less busy doesn’t work.

There will always be another deadline, school event, meeting, holiday or something that needs your attention.

So rather than trying to find the perfect training week, build a system that survives the imperfect ones.

Here’s what works for me:

1. Put training in the diary, it's in orange in mine!
Not “I’ll train if I get time.”

Decide when it’s happening before the week starts.

2. Have a minimum.
Your ideal might be four sessions.

But if the week goes sideways, what’s the minimum?

For me, I’d much rather you get two quality sessions done than abandon the week because I couldn’t manage four.

3. Shorten the session before you cancel it.
You can get a lot done in 30–40 minutes.

Four good movements. A few hard sets. Done.

4. Keep moving outside the gym.
Walk the dogs. Walk while taking a call. Get outside with the kids.

It all counts.

5. Make nutrition easier when work gets harder.
Have a few default breakfasts and lunches.

Protein first. Whole foods. Keep decent options available.

The busier you are, the LESS decisions you want to make.

The goal isn’t to build your life around fitness.

It’s to build fitness into your life.

And sometimes that means accepting that a good week looks different to a PERFECT week.

If work and family constantly push your fitness to the bottom of the list, this is exactly where coaching can make a difference.

We help you build a training and nutrition plan around the life you actually have, rather than the one you wish you had.

Send us “BUSY” and we’ll have a chat, discuss your goals and put a realistic plan in place, that we can adapt to any life stage!

This week on the podcast, why when you walk after eating matters more than how long you walk.

A study published this year tested a 10-minute immediate post-meal walk against a 30-minute walk starting 30 minutes after eating. The 10-minute walk outperformed the 30-minute walk on peak glucose suppression. We cover the mechanism in full: GLUT4-mediated glucose uptake, why timing beats duration, and how resistance training makes the habit more effective over time.

Nike launched a HYROX-specific shoe this week. The Nike Hybrid. Two versions, competition and training, £130, global release.

It is a good product that solves a real problem. But it is about fifth on the list of things that will actually improve most amateur HYROX finish times.

New post this week on what the Nike entry tells us about where HYROX is going as a sport, and, more usefully, what the four things are that most people are underworking before race day.

A big shoutout to one of our Olympic Lifting coaches, 🏋️‍♀️

Alongside coaching here at P6, she is a Performance Coach for British Weight Lifting, as well as continuing to coach at grassroots level locally.

A few weeks ago, that journey took her to Glasgow as a coach with Team England.

But what we really love about this is that it wasn't simply a case of turning up to coach at a big event.

She has been part of the qualification cycle with the athletes who ultimately earned selection for the team. Months and years of coaching, training camps, competitions and supporting athletes through the process of trying to reach the next level.

And those athletes all started somewhere.

They were people who walked into a gym, started lifting, enjoyed it, kept showing up and discovered they had a talent for the sport. Who knows, either yourself or your little ones may be hiding that sort of talent!

That's one of the great things about having coaches of this calibre at P6.

The same coach working with international-level athletes is also on our gym floor, helping our members learn, improve and potentially discover just how good they could become.

And she manages all of this while juggling a full-time job, P6 coaching, training camps and competitions that don't exactly arrive at the most convenient times!

We're incredibly proud to have her as part of our coaching team.

Next time you're in one of her Olympic Lifting sessions, remember you're being coached by someone who has helped athletes all the way from the grassroots to pulling on a Team England singlet!

So many people start tracking macros. By day nine most have quit.

Not because they were not motivated. Tracking perfectly for the first week, easy. It falls apart at a work lunch where everything was catered and nothing was in the database. The day felt ruined.

SO many come to us having done this eight or nine times. We talk through what actually needs to change. Not the targets, not the app.

One protocol: whenever a meal cannot be logged accurately, estimate and log it anyway. Conservative guess. Something is better than a gap.

Swipe through for the low down on how to avoid the tracking pitfalls!

That 3pm energy crash isn’t always because you need another coffee.

Quite often, it’s because you haven’t eaten enough of the right things earlier in the day.

Coffee for breakfast.

Something small at lunch because you’re busy.

Then by mid-afternoon you’re tired, hungry and suddenly the biscuits in the office look VERY appealing.

That isn’t a lack of willpower.

You’ve just spent most of the day under-fuelled.

So try changing the first half of your day.

**Breakfast:**
Start with protein.

Eggs, Greek yoghurt, cottage cheese or a protein shake if you’re short on time.

Add some fruit, oats or another quality carbohydrate depending on your needs.

**Lunch:**
Again, start with protein.

Chicken, beef, fish, eggs, tofu or whatever works for you.

Add plenty of vegetables, then a sensible portion of rice, potatoes, wraps or another carbohydrate source.

You’re looking for proper meals that actually satisfy you.

Not a tiny salad followed by six trips to the snack cupboard.

Then look at hydration.

If you've had four coffees and one glass of water by 3pm, that's another easy place to improve.

None of this means you can never have a snack.

It means your snacks shouldn’t be compensating for meals that didn’t do their job.

Tomorrow, try one thing:

Build breakfast and lunch around protein and whole foods, then see what happens to your afternoon hunger and energy.

If you’re constantly battling hunger, low energy or cravings and you’re not sure how to structure your nutrition around work, family and training, that’s exactly the sort of thing we coach.

We don’t hand you a restrictive meal plan.

We help you build a way of eating that actually works in your real life.

Send us **“NUTRITION”** and we’ll have a chat.

New episode this week on the P6 Podcast

Nike entering HYROX with purpose-built footwear is a significant signal about where hybrid training is going as a sport. It is also almost entirely irrelevant to what determines most amateur HYROX finish times.

This week I go through what the Nike launch actually tells us about the growth of HYROX, the physiology of hybrid performance and why it stays unchanged regardless of equipment, and what a 12-week HYROX prep block should actually look like if you want to move your time.
