A reminder that not all life changing transformations are visual… ❤️

Here’s how I’m training to run a sub-18 minute 5K at 80kg body weight

And without meaning to oversimplify what can be a complex and nuanced subject…

SOMETIMES, just sometimes

Getting in shape — or achieving anything in life, really — does come down to how much you actually want it

Not always

But often, the biggest difference between where you are and where you want to be is simply how hard you’re willing to TRY

Because whatever our limitations might be as individuals, we’re all capable of trying

‘Who is this woman?!’😂

That line from Sarah Hipkiss Wightman message says it all

I feel like I don’t really need to add much to what Sarah’s already said, but for context

Sarah is 55 (I know she doesn’t look it) and going through the menopause

When she first came to me she was unhappy with the way she felt and looked

Struggling her way through the menopause and wondering if her best days were behind her

But fast forward just under a year of working with us and it’s a completely different story

The weight loss is amazing. As is the inches lost, the clothes fitting, all the physical changes…

But what I’m most proud of is everything you can’t see on a before & after photo

The confidence

The strength

The willingness to walk into the gym and push herself

The feeling of putting on clothes and actually feeling good in them

55. In the menopause. Stronger, leaner and more confident than she’s felt in years

That’s the real transformation

Because the goal was never just to make Sarah smaller

It was to help her become a version of herself she genuinely feels proud of ❤️

If like Sarah you feel stuck with your health and physique but you’re desperate to make a change

Brackley to Souldern — 16-mile loop ✅

Another brilliant client event in the bag, this time exploring the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside 🌳🚶🏻‍♂️

16 miles, 30,000+ steps, plenty of laughs… and of course, the obligatory pub garden stop to finish 🍺

It’s easy to take where you live for granted, but days like this are a great reminder of just how lucky we are to have so much incredible English countryside and so many scenic walks right on our doorstep

A top day with top people — exactly what these client events are all about 💪🏻

On a side note, a reminder you should never ask a man his salary, a woman her age or dadmin what he was cleaning off his water bladder in the final slide 🪿

Next stop… the Peak District. Let’s go! ⛰️

11 years of doing the job I love ✌🏻

Not bad considering the statistics when I started — 90% of qualified personal trainers reportedly leave the industry within 18 months

And considering I was told by several people:

“You’ll never make money from personal training round here — focus on teaching spin classes instead.” 🙃

Safe to say I’m glad I didn’t listen

It hasn’t all been plain sailing. There’s been plenty of mistakes, setbacks, failures and moments where I’ve questioned what I was doing

But one thing I’ve always had is the ability to back myself — and a belief that if I kept going, I’d figure it out

11 years later, I’m still here, still learning, still building, and still genuinely grateful that I get to call this my job

Glad I never quit ❤️

Here’s to the next chapter ✌🏻

This is also a post about the power of
imperfect action

You don’t need an hour to get an effective workout done

You don’t even need 30-45 minutes

Something is always better than nothing and getting results is about finding that space between perfect and nothing at all on the spectrum

A hill I will die on;

Tracking calories is only as obsessive as you make it

Here’s how to track accurately without it taking over your life

The collab you’ve been waiting for 👀

It’s about time I did a food review of one of the hottest new businesses around

But does .kitchen really live up to the hype?

Happy 2 years, Rebecca Edwards ❤️

Another client anniversary. Another jaw-dropping transformation

From being told by a GP that she’d ‘struggle to lose weight even if she only ate carrots’ because of an under active thyroid

To losing over 100 pounds of fat (without using the 💉)

And honestly, I couldn’t be prouder of her

Because this isn’t just a weight-loss transformation

Over the last 2 years, Bec has also dealt with some incredibly challenging circumstances in her personal life, while being a mum of 2 young kids, working full-time and recently moving house

Yet she kept showing up

And that’s the bit I really want people to understand…

You do not need perfect circumstances to change your body

Life gets busy.
Life gets stressful.
Things don’t always go to plan.

And during a big weight-loss journey, there will be plateaus and periods where progress slows down or stops

In fact, we’ve recently had a maintenance period with Bec

And I wanted to share that because maintenance is not failure

Sometimes learning how to maintain your progress, stay consistent and not hit the “f**k it” button when the scales aren’t moving is just as important as losing another few pounds

Bec isn’t finished yet

But what she’s already achieved has completely transformed her life — and I know there’s plenty more to come

2 years. 100+ lbs down. And still going. 🔥

If you’re looking to lose 50+ lbs and finally ditch the cycle of yo-yo dieting for good, drop me a message and let’s chat about how we can help

After a very indulgent summer I’ve decided it’s time to knuckle down a bit with my own training

I’m not really a runner but I’ve set myself a goal of a sub 18 minute 15k but with the caveat of doing it at 80kg bodyweight

So I thought I’d document my progress for a bit of extra accountability and hopefully some entertainment along the way

Starting with last nights engine builder session

Remember, to get better at running you don’t just have to run ✌🏻
