𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠. 𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐔𝐩. 𝐌𝐚𝐣𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐚 𝟕𝟎.𝟑 𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐭. 🌍🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Since December 2025, this has been the work:

🏊‍♂️ Swim: 𝟏𝟖.𝟑 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬 (8h 50m)

🚴‍♂️ Bike: 𝟐,𝟎𝟖𝟕.𝟖 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬 (102h 31m) – 53,739 calories burned (𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐧 → 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤… 𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐰𝐢𝐜𝐞)

🏃‍♂️ Run: 𝟒𝟓𝟖.𝟔 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬 (59h 39m) – 𝟒𝟓,𝟐𝟑𝟐 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝

Early mornings. Late nights. Sessions I didn’t fancy. Sessions that flowed perfectly.
This isn’t just training it’s proof of what consistency, structure, and mindset actually build over time.

Next stop: the start line with 𝟑,𝟖𝟎𝟎 𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐬 at one of the most prestigious races in the world.

And here’s the thing…

I’m not special. I didn’t start as an elite athlete. I just made a decision years ago to commit and I’ve kept backing it up ever since.

If you’ve ever thought:
“I want to get fitter”
“I want to run my first 5K”
“I want to push towards something bigger like a half marathon… or even a 70.3…”

Take this as your sign it’s possible.

I’ll be away competing until Friday 15th May, so replies may be slightly delayed, but I’ll get back to everyone, promise.

If you’re ready to start your own journey, whether that’s:
✔️ Fat loss
✔️ Strength & conditioning
✔️ Running your first race
✔️ Or stepping up to endurance events

Drop me a message and let’s build something you didn’t think was possible.

Your starting point doesn’t define your finish line 💪

Another amazing testimonial from Paula 👇

Stories like this mean more than any before & after photo ever could. This is about resilience, support, and proving that no matter where you start, progress is always possible with the right guidance and belief.

“𝐈 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐋𝐞𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐞… 𝐡𝐞’𝐬 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞.

It actually took me 6 months to even book my first session I was nervous, a 56-year-old menopausal woman, overweight, unhealthy and dealing with chronic pain. I’d been struggling with pelvic pain since 2010, shoulder pain since 2021, and was later diagnosed with fibromyalgia.

From day one, Lee never judged me. He listened, adapted every session to how I was feeling, and built me up slowly with the right balance of support and push. Some days that meant going lighter, other days pushing me just enough to progress.

By December 2025 something clicked I wanted to lose weight and feel healthier. Lee’s guided me every step of the way, from training to simple nutrition habits (and constantly reminding me to drink more water! 🤣).

Have I lost all the weight yet? No. Am I super fit? No.
But I’m no longer stuck on the sofa feeling sorry for myself.

I’m moving, I’m stronger, I’m still working part-time, and I can enjoy time with my grandchildren.

Honestly, if I hadn’t met Lee, I don’t think I’d be where I am today.

We’ve said it before we’re not a one-size-fits-all personal training service.

Every single person we work with comes in with different goals, different starting points, and different reasons for showing up… and that’s exactly how we like it.

What makes it all worth it is hearing how it’s impacting real people, not just physically, but mentally and socially too.

This one means a lot. Paula, along with Mark, have been part of the journey for over three years and this is exactly what it’s all about 👇

Client Testimonial from Jackie.

I don’t need to write anything in regards to Jackie’s amazing achievements I’ll let you read in her own words below:

“I started going to Lee at Strive to improve my fitness, after finding that I really enjoyed his group boot camps, especially when we were exercising outdoors.

I then moved on to one-to-one PT sessions in his fully equipped gym, which I love as it’s not intimidating like a big commercial gym. Everything is tailored to you, Lee creates programmes to suit each client, and he is supportive, friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable.

Due to a change in my circumstances, I can now train in the daytime, and sometimes we use that time for walks. Lee mixes up the routes with hills and flat sections, and we work on trying to beat previous times, which is great motivation.

We were talking this week and Lee asked if I had looked at my before and after photos, I’ve amazed myself with the results. It hasn’t been a quick fix, but with Lee’s encouragement and support, I’m now determined to keep going, get fitter, and reach my goal weight.

I can highly recommend Lee. Have a chat with him, whether you’re starting your journey to a better you, like I did, or looking to reach your next sporting goal with a structured fitness plan, he can help. I’ll never be an Ironman like Lee, but maybe a Parkrun could be my next target!

Thank you, Lee.”

What 6 months of hard work, focus, and proper, informed nutritional choices can do! Lorraine has absolutely smashed it since May while still enjoying takeaways, drinks, social events all because she’s learned how to make good choices without feeling restricted.

We’ve taken the focus away from what the scales say and put it on what really matters feeling good, being confident, energetic, and actually enjoying what you’re trying to achieve. The results show it, and she’s done incredibly well!

Next goal agreed and Lorraine is super focussed to nail it! Guilt free, stress free and fully motivated 💪💪

Awesome work!
