This is for all of you who are about to jump on the ‘New Year New You’ bandwagon, for those who are about to start the same diet regimen that didn’t work last time (you wouldn’t be here if it did) and for those that are about to tackle fat loss through jogging or thinking that HIIT is the what you need to get fit.

This is the time of year where you’re going to be inundated with BS. Mainly your own, but also a sh*t load from the diet industry and fitness ‘professionals’.

Whether it’s selling you the best ab exercises to reduce your belly fat, classes that burn fat or 1000cals an hour, diet protocols with cool sounding names, based on a very tenuous link to some unrelated scientific study, or you think that this year you can actually follow through on what you failed on last year (and the year before etc etc).

Yes you have goals.

Yes you’re motivated and know your why.

Loads of people have these.

But what few of you have is a plan. I mean a proper plan based on sound advice and education, non-product bias and is developed around you and not a cookie cutter or one size fits all plan. One that includes accountability and formation of a sustainable routine that demands a level of discipline and trust of the process and ultimately yourself. A plan that takes into account recognition of all the changes that you need to make to your lifestyle for any chance of success as well as managing your expectations.

Ensure your plan includes the following:
- Goals
- Know your why
- Strategy (with adherence, sustainability and education at it’s core)
- Accountability
- Discipline (stepping up when all you want to do is sit down)
- Routine (based around your current well established lifestyle)

Finally acknowledge that there comes a time with fitness that you actually want to start seeing results for the time, effort and money that you throw at your health and fitness journey, and that might mean that you have to start doing more of what you need and less of what you want.

Start 2022 as you mean to go on…

…with a plan and with purpose

By far the most common session that I run each week are consultations. Quite simply a 90ish minute 'chat' (over coffee if local!) where I get to hear about people's plans, or lack of plans, when it comes to their health and fitness. I add my thoughts, advice and sometimes confirmation and then help them to develop the most appropriate pathway that will help them achieve their goal.

I help people take their first step into fitness, I help others break through the BS surrounding the diet industry. Also, some who are extremely experienced with their fitness or competitions, but need some clarity on planning their next 6-12months of training for a very specific event or goal, or when they have chosen to try something completely different and they need some direction. More often than not there is a significant element of not progressing either in the gym or with their diet even though there has been a lot of time, effort and money invested.

What I can help with:
- A healthy (mentally and physically) approach to fat loss
- Stress reduction and prioritisation of health and fitness
- Short, medium and longterm planning for sporting events or activities
- Development of a fitness schedule for those not seeing slow or zero progress
- Pathway back to fitness post injury

People generally hear about these by word of mouth from those who have met up with me previously, or it comes about from the 'Jon you're a PT, my friend needs help!' introduction.

If you too would like to discuss any element of your health and fitness please DM me. I look forward to hearing from you. Jon
