The I.D.move Personal Training Studio is 4 years old today!

Crazy to think I’ve been in this gym for 4 years.

It was a big jump to go from training clients in other gyms to my own space straight after lockdown but we’ve gone from strength to strength!

Massive thank you to everyone that’s been involved and clients current and old for making this a reality

Here’s to the future!

2024 was a fully booked year over at I.D.move and with a few of 2024's clients moving on to individual training it's opened up some spaces for 2025.

If you're looking for a coach who focuses on longevity, strength and mobility - who customises everything to the individual then please reach out to me and we can get you booked in for a consultation at the gym.

These slots often fill up very quickly so if you or someone you know is ready to jump on board don't hang around.

It seems pretty obvious on the surface, the stronger you are in more compromising positions the better chance you have of staying safe - but people still shy away from those areas in their training, and in turn wonder why they get hurt when they find themselves in them.

Everyone has their limitations but we should be working each week to move through the big 9 different movement patterns in the gym; squatting, hinging, horizontal push and pull, vertical push and pull, lunge/gait, rotation and antirotation. Slowly developing both the complexity and demands of those patterns through adding load, variation.

If your current programme doesn’t hit each of these positions through the week you’re leaving massive gains and longevity on the table.

If you’re struggling to know what you’re missing in your programme or what exercises fit into these 9 different patterns then hit me up and I can guide you through everything.

Joe had been going to the gym for a while but without much structure to his workouts and shying away from some of the more complex barbell movements - a position very common with newer gym goers.

Together we help bring structure to his workouts, help him understand how to do the big barbell movements, safely - and ultimately progress them. Pushing his strength and physique to the next stage.

This was also done all remotely through online coaching, though Joe did only live 2-3 miles away so we could also meet up if he needed any in person coaching.

If you’re looking for a coach who will help bring structure, help you learn how to lift properly and show you how to progress then look no further - shoot me a DM and let’s take your training to the next level.

We’re all guilty of this, me especially, it’s a really bad habit.

Usually switching programmes comes from 2 different places, grass is greener syndrome or a lack of clarity on what you’re training for.

Grass is greener syndrome as I like to call it is exactly what it sounds like, no matter what programme you’re currently doing there’s always another workout that looks like it might work better for you. Different exercises, different machines, different modalities etc etc. The fact is that you need to stick to a programme and a set structure for a substantial amount of time to see results. If you keep jumping from programme to programme trying to find the best one, you’ll never stick with one long enough to see the results happen.

The lack of clarity is one I really struggle with, there’s so many different ways to workout and so many different outcomes you can achieve that it’s easy to get stuck in a cycle of being pulled in many different directions; I want to get stronger, but I also want to be leaner, but I should also do some bodybuilding, and I should bulk, and also my conditioning needs to improve.

Woah woah woah there sonny Jim.

If you’re stuck in this loop, one that I always find myself in, then you need to break the year down into different blocks of training with specific focuses. Remember this;

Aerobic base/Conditioning -> Muscle Mass -> Strength and Power -> Athletic Performance

Our training loops should try to follow this general train of progression. With each having at least a 8-12 week focus.

If you’re struggling to stick to a programme, or you’re unsure how to arrange your year to progress and bring about the best results possible then reach out to me and I’ll get everything organized for you.

One of the main things clients love about I.D.move is that it’s a private gym, with only myself and you there during our sessions. Dawn was no stranger to the gym, well versed in training having done crossfit for years but had fallen out of touch with training, and while working around injuries needed a safe space to regain her confidence, get the ball rolling again and improve her physical and mental wellbeing.

Together we did just that, workouts which challenged her, support that encouraged and helped her and an environment to feel safe in.

If this sounds like you then reach out to me, together we’ll get you back into the gym; feeling great, performing well and regaining confidence - shoot me a DM and let’s get started

You don’t need to train every day.

You don’t need to be in a puddle of sweat at the end of a workout.

It doesn’t matter how many calories this workout burned.

We’re very quick to go completely balls to the walls at fitness without giving it much thought for the long run of the habit.

You can get unbelievable results from training 3-4x per week with a structured programme that doesn’t result in you wanting to throw up every time you’re finished.

Results in the gym come from consistency, over a long period of time, following solid training principles. This means over the period of months and years.

Don’t trick yourself into thinking you’re going to be able to commit to doing that 6-7 days per week if you know you can’t - commit to 2-4x per week, train hard, monitor your nutrition and make the adjustments you need diligently - look back in 12 months and see how much easier it was to commit and how much better you look for it.

Josh is a class act, he knows how to lift, he’s trained for a long time but wanted to try something different with his programming and knew I’d be up for the challenge.

He’s done both powerlifting, crossfit, bodybuilding and olympic lifting style training before so we had a lot of cards we could play but he wanted as a goal to increase his overall strength and re-comp before his wedding - so we did just that.

We didn’t reinvent the wheel but we did some methods of programming he’s not done before helping to both push up the strength numbers while focusing on body composition, conditioning and performance. We did great, he did great, crushed it. At the end of his 12 week programme his strength was at an all time high as well as his body composition changing for the better throughout the whole programme.

He’s just moved home and is setting up a home gym there and I’m super excited to hopefully get the chance to programme for him more in the future seeing what we can do with the equipment and space available.

If you’ve found yourself running programme after programme and not seeing results or wondering what to do next - hit me up, let’s try to get you those numbers you desire and look awesome while you do it.

Do you know what’s really important to be able to do before putting loads of weight on your back and doing the splits? That’s right, doing the splits.

So why do a large number of people put heavy loads on their back and squat when they’re unable to perform a squatting pattern properly - because the barrier to entry is much lower.

We think that we can get away with it, and people can, until they can’t. Compromised under heavy loads, something gives way.

Now I’m not saying people should only squat with an empty bar until their technique, range of motion and squat looks like something crafted by God but I am saying you should probably make sure you’re ability to squat (any perform any other exercise) is using a solid, full range of motion under control at all times.

Gaining muscle and strength takes ages, months, years, decades - stop rushing to lift the heaviest thing possible. Develop a great range of motion, learn how to stabilize yourself throughout that range of motion, then allow the numbers to gradually rise.

In the long run you’re gonna lift more weight and look way cooler doing it than 99% of people, take your time and do it properly.
