And theyโ€™re already being put to good use in The Training Room, Brora!

I love using BlazePod s with my older clients because, as you can see here, they make training fun โ€” but thereโ€™s a lot more going on than simply chasing flashing lights.

Exercises like these can help work on ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฒ, ๐—ฏ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ, ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป, ๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ถ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜๐˜† ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜€๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ฎ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€, while also challenging the brain to process information and respond quickly.

That combination of physical movement and thinking is particularly useful as we get older. It can help us practise changing direction, reacting to something unexpected, staying steady on our feet and moving with more confidence.

And perhaps just as importantlyโ€ฆ it doesnโ€™t always feel like exercise! ๐Ÿ˜„

Strength will always be a big part of what we do here, but fitness as we get older is about so much more than how much we can lift.

Itโ€™s about keeping our bodies strong, responsive, capable and confident for everyday life. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿง 

And with all 12 pods working again, Iโ€™ve got plenty of ideas for these! ๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ˜‚

World Su***de Prevention Day ๐Ÿ’›

One thing I think we all need reminding of from time to time is that we really have no idea what is going on in someone elseโ€™s life.
Someone can look absolutely fine on the outside, be smiling, working, exercising, laughing and getting on with their day, while privately struggling more than anyone knows.

So be kind.

Be patient with people.

Donโ€™t be too quick to judge someoneโ€™s mood, behaviour or reaction when you donโ€™t know what they may be dealing with behind closed doors.

And check in on your people. Sometimes a simple โ€œHow are you really?โ€ can open the door to a conversation someone desperately needs.

We never truly know what another person is carrying. A little kindness can go a very long way. ๐Ÿ’›

Itโ€™s been another busy week at The Training Room, with lots of enquiries for both online and in-person coaching โ€” thank you! ๐Ÿ’›

Because of that, there wonโ€™t be a new intake for online coaching for the next couple of weeks, and the cabin is currently full for regular new clients.

That doesnโ€™t mean I canโ€™t help, though.
I can usually make space for one-off or taster sessions when I have cancellations. A taster session gives us a chance to chat through what you need, look at where youโ€™re starting from and work out the best way forward โ€” even if there isnโ€™t a regular weekly space available straight away.

The hybrid option is also working really well for a few people just now. You come into the cabin once a month for a coached session, then head away with a programme to follow at home or in your own gym for the next three weeks. It gives you the reassurance of regular face-to-face support without needing a weekly appointment.

So, if youโ€™ve been thinking about getting started, please donโ€™t be put off by the lack of regular spaces. There may still be a way we can make something work for you.

This lady reached out to me specifically for some help with her eating habits.

After looking at her food diary and talking through what she wanted to achieve, I put together a 4-week plan designed to give her structure without being restrictive โ€” something she can continue to use, mix up and adapt with her own choices.

This is what she had to say:

You wonโ€™t see side-by-side photos of my clients in their underwear, showing how much weight theyโ€™ve lost or how their body has changed.

Not because my clients donโ€™t get results. They absolutely do.

But because I donโ€™t believe the most important results can always be seen in a photograph.

My clients tell me they can get up from the floor more easily.
Theyโ€™re lifting weights they never imagined they could.
They feel steadier on their feet.
Theyโ€™ve improved their bone health.
They can carry their shopping, play with their grandchildren, walk further, travel and say yes to things they might previously have avoided.
Theyโ€™re stronger on the bike, faster on the run or performing better in their chosen sport.

Some lose weight. Some change shape. Some donโ€™t.

And all of those outcomes are valid.

Particularly as we get older, exercise becomes about so much more than making our bodies smaller.

Itโ€™s about building muscle. Protecting our bones. Staying mobile. Maintaining our independence. Having confidence in what our bodies can do, rather than constantly judging them by how they look.

Of course, thereโ€™s nothing wrong with wanting to lose weight or change your body โ€” and Iโ€™ll happily support clients with those goals too.

But nobody who trains with me will ever be asked to provide a photograph of their body to post on this page.

Their progress belongs to them.

At The Training Room Brora, success isnโ€™t a before and after photograph.

Itโ€™s everything that happens in between โ€” and everything youโ€™re still able to do in the years ahead. ๐Ÿงก

Another week nearly done at The Training Room. Just a few things to get done for some online clients.

Itโ€™s been one of those weeks where the cabin has barely had time to catch its breath โ€” lots of hard work, plenty of laughs, and some really good progress being made.

One thing Iโ€™m reminded of every week is that progress looks different for everyone. For some itโ€™s lifting heavier, for others itโ€™s moving with more confidence, having less pain, getting back into a routine, or simply turning up on a day when they really didnโ€™t feel like it.

They all count. ๐Ÿ’ช

For anyone interested, there is space on the online Reset programme, starting Monday. Send me a message on WhatsApp and I'll get the info to you.

A huge well done to everyone whoโ€™s been through the cabin doors this week โ€” enjoy your weekend and Iโ€™ll see you next week! ๐Ÿงก

It means training needs to get smarter.

Strength training as we get older isnโ€™t about lifting tiny weights and โ€œbeing carefulโ€.

Itโ€™s about keeping the strength to:

๐Ÿ‹๏ธ Lift something heavy from the floor
๐Ÿ›’ Carry the shopping
๐Ÿชœ Get up and down from the floor
๐Ÿšถ Keep walking, climbing and exploring
๐Ÿฆด Give our bones a reason to stay strong
โš–๏ธ Maintain balance and confidence in our bodies

And yes โ€” sometimes it means lifting ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—น๐˜† ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐˜† ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด๐˜€.

The Reset is completely online and done at home. It is for anyone who feels like their healthy habits have slipped, their energy is low, or they simply need a bit of structure and accountability to get themselves back on track.

We start with the basics and build gradually over the six weeks, focusing on things like:
๐ŸŒฟ Getting outside and walking regularly
๐Ÿฅ— Eating regular, balanced meals
๐Ÿ˜ด Improving sleep habits
๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ Taking a few minutes to slow down and manage stress
๐Ÿ’ช Gradually introducing some simple movement and strength work later in the programme

You'll have guidance throughout the six weeks, information to help you understand why these habits matter, and a weekly check-in to keep you accountable.
