🚨 FORM FRIDAY: OVER TO YOU! 🚨

Over the last 3 years we’ve covered a LOT of exercises on Form Friday, but now we want to hear from you. 👇

Maybe there’s an exercise you’re never quite sure you’re doing properly.

A machine you’ve been avoiding because you don’t know how to set it up.

Or something you’ve seen people doing in the gym and thought… what the hell does that actually do? 😂

Whatever it is, tell us in the comments 👇

No question is too basic. If you’re wondering about it, chances are someone else is too.

🎥 Your suggestion could be our next Form Friday.

🚨 FORM FRIDAY: FACE PULLS 🚨

Want stronger shoulders and better upper-back development? Don’t overlook the face pull. 👀

It’s a great exercise for targeting your rear delts and upper back, but getting the movement right for the muscle group you want to focus on makes all the difference.

takes us through how to focus on the upper back and the rear delta in these variations 🔥

This isn’t an exercise you need to load ridiculously heavy. Keep it controlled and focus on actually feeling the muscles doing the work. 💪

Save this for your next upper-body session.

🚨 FORM FRIDAY: LAT PULLDOWN 🚨

If your lat pulldown is starting to look more like a rowing machine, it might be time to drop the weight. 👀

One of the biggest mistakes we see is loading the stack too heavy and using momentum to get the bar moving.

Instead:

✅ Keep your chest up
✅ Stay controlled
✅ Drive your elbows down
✅ Let your lats do the work

You don’t get bonus points for moving the biggest number on the stack. Control the weight, own the rep and make the right muscles work. 💪

Save this one for your next back session.

🏋️ Is your incline bench actually training your upper chest… or just your ego?

One of the most common mistakes we see is lifting your hips off the bench to help get the weight up.

While it might let you lift more, it could actually be taking the focus away from the muscle you’re trying to train.

Here’s why keeping your glutes on the bench matters 👇

✅ Better upper chest engagement
✅ More stability throughout the lift
✅ Consistent technique from rep to rep
✅ Less reliance on momentum

By driving your hips up, you’re shortening the range of motion and turning the incline press into something much closer to a flat bench. Great if you’re trying to move the most weight… not so great if you’re trying to build your upper chest.

A small natural arch in your lower back is completely normal. The goal isn’t to press your spine flat into the bench—it’s to keep your upper back, glutes and feet planted throughout the set.

Think quality over quantity.

The weight on the bar only tells part of the story. How you move it matters just as much. 💪

🏆 MEMBERS OF THE MONTH 🏆

This month, we’re celebrating a brilliant group of ladies who joined Jetts together back in January and have been showing up consistently ever since.

Their shared goal is simple: to keep fit, feel good and make progress together. For Amanda, Caitlin & Evie, that means getting stronger, toning up and feeling leaner, while also supporting a weight loss journey along the way.

Training 4–5 times a week, they’ve built a routine that works for them, and doing it together has played a massive part in keeping everyone motivated. Things might be a little more relaxed over the summer, but once September comes around, they’ll be back to those early 6am sessions before college and work.

What we love most is that they’ve found confidence in the gym and genuinely enjoy being here.

As they put it:

“Everyone is very friendly and it’s not at all daunting like other gyms I’ve been to.”

That’s exactly what we want Jetts Colchester to be about: a gym where people feel welcome, supported and comfortable getting started, no matter their goal.

A huge congratulations from all of us at Jetts. Keep showing up, keep supporting each other and keep smashing it. ❤️💪

Spot the difference? 👀

Stop bowing. Start crunching.

The cable crunch is designed to train spinal flexion under load. In simple terms, your abs are working to bring your ribs closer to your pelvis.

But if you start the movement by hinging at the hips, your hip flexors end up doing most of the work and your abs lose tension.

Instead, keep your hips locked in place, round through your spine and think:

Ribs towards pelvis. Not chest towards the floor.

You’ll get a much better contraction and a far more effective ab exercise.

Your abs flex your spine, not your hips.

Give this a go next time:

✅ Lock your head into your upper arms
✅ Keep your hips still
✅ Think ribs towards pelvis
✅ Flex through your spine one section at a time
✅ Control the stretch on the way up
✅ Don’t let the weight stack rest

Small change. Big difference.
