Good luck to everyone who is returning back to their gyms, dance studios and health clubs today!
A special mention to our friends over at Bellshill Taekwon-Do - glad to see you back doing what you guys do best 🥋💪
I'm hoping that I won't be too far behind them 🤞
As always, my inbox is open. Feel free to drop me a message with any fitness related questions or enquiries 👍

Monday is the majority of people's least favourite day.

Personally, I really like Monday's as I see it like a reset button. Reflect on last week - what went well, what didn't? Then make a few tweaks to enhance the good parts & hopefully prevent a repeat of the parts I wasn't happy with.

If you're finding it tricky to see a silver lining this morning please remember;

How lucky we are that we woke up this morning.
How we have a roof over our heads & a warm, safe place to sleep.
How we have a job to go to when others have lost theirs due to covid-19.

It's all about perspective 👍

Morning everyone!

Hope you're all doing okay and adjusting to most workplaces, nurseries and schools being back to their 'new normal'.

Apologies for my replies to messages taking longer than usual this week, our baby girl Hallie was born on Tuesday morning at 38 weeks weighing 9lbs 8oz 👸🧸🍼 🎊

Hallie and her mummy have both been a little poorly and have needed a bit of help from the doctor's. They're both still in hospital at the moment, but I will get back to you all as soon as I can 👍

Hi everyone. Hope you're all well?

I'm sure you'll have seen today's update regarding the re-opening of gyms, it'll be September 14th with a possible revision in 3 weeks time.

I know this date feels like forever away! Thanks to everyone who has messaged to check-in and let me know how much you're missing training - I am too!

I'm not offering outdoor training/classes at the moment, the guidance and restrictions are in place for a reason. Others in the exercise and leisure sector are and can do as they please, however, I'm personally not willing to take any risks when it comes to maintaining social distancing, wiping/sterilising equipment after every person touches it etc.

Mrs AAJ's is heavily pregnant and also has an autoimmune condition so we are very much still following all guidance to the letter. This should be relaxing shortly as she only has 3 weeks left to go 🎊👶

The end is in sight, let's see what happens in 3 weeks when everything is reassessed.

As always, I'm just a message away for a chat and to answer any queries 👍

Hi guys, how are we all doing? I know there's quite a few of you keen to get back into the gym - believe me I'm missing it to!
As of yet, I have no set date as to when I can start running camps and classes again.
However, I wanted to share with you all how hard Mr. Doyle and the team over at Bellshill Taekwon-Do have been working doing a refurb of the gym.
I'm sure you'll all agree that it looks incredible! There's now a waiting area, amazing hand painted murals by Amanda Fox Tattoos, even more equipment & the gym is also feeling bigger than it was before as the two back rooms have been knocked through!

My wife and her colleagues from St John Paul II have made a video for all the nursery and school kids.
Worth a wee watch. Feel free to give it a share guys 👍

A wee video from us all, hope you are all staying safe! Miss you all!

Morning everyone!

Hope you're all doing okay?

I know it's such a hard time for everyone just now, it can feel almost as if your freedom is being impaired or restricted...BUT if we all just stick to this for a few weeks, we'll be able to get back to 'normality' so much quicker.

I know our mental health is taking a pounding just now, don't forget to breathe, take a walk and get some air. Feel the breeze and sun on your face, fill your lungs with fresh air and remember, this isn't forever. This will pass and we'll feel so grateful to be able to visit our families, have a hug and speak to our loved ones face to face.

Video calling is a god send! Keep your mind busy - remember those wee tasks you wanted done but they weren't a priority and your time was needed for other things? Well there's no better time than now to get chipping away at your list.

I'm always just a message away for anyone who wants a chat. Be safe, be strong, take care of yourself. See you soon x

Hi guys.

I know everything is up in the air just now regarding this virus. I just wanted to give you all an update in regards to where AAJ's stands.

As most of you know my wife is 16 weeks pregnant and type 1 diabetic, this makes her 'high risk'. I want to safeguard Kimberley and the baby as much as possible so have taken the decision to cancel all classes for the time being.

As soon as things are more settled everything will resume and be back up and running as normal. Take care of yourselves, be safe and I'll see you all soon!

Apologies for the page being so quiet recently.
Mrs AAJ's has still been poorly and just last week we found out we're getting a new wee addition to the family too! It's been all systems go.

Class tomorrow is 9am, drop me a message of you're coming along. Just pay at class, no online booking required 💪

March already, January lasted 1,802 days but February just flew by!

How are those fitness goals you set for yourself back at New Year going?

If you're finding it difficult, not meeting the goals you set for yourself, then drop me a message and see how I can help you!
