When we say Small Group PT, we actually mean small group PT.

Not 6+ people all doing the same workout with very little individualisation. We cap every group at 4 people not 8, 10 or more people all following exactly the same session.

That means training suited to your level, full coaching throughout, every weight, rep and bit of progress tracked, plus the accountability, support and wee community that comes with training alongside other people.

You still get the support, accountability and wee community that comes with training alongside other people without losing the personal side of PT.

Vitamin C gets talked about mostly when someone has a cold, but it does quite a bit more than that.

It helps with collagen production, supports normal immune function and helps maintain healthy skin, blood vessels, bones and cartilage. It also helps us absorb iron from plant-based foods.

For anyone training regularly, that means it’s part of the wider picture when it comes to tissue health, recovery and simply keeping the body functioning properly.

Severe deficiency is uncommon, but very low intake over time can lead to things like tiredness, weakness, easy bruising and bleeding gums.

Peppers, berries, citrus fruit, kiwi, broccoli, sprouts and even potatoes can all contribute.

No need for mega-dose vitamin C drinks, eating fruit and veg regularly is usually the far more useful habit 🍓🥦

These days it feels like all you see is influencers sharing their “perfect” life on social media.
It can be really easy to get caught up in that and start comparing yourself, even subconsciously.

The reality is, you’re seeing a snapshot of someone’s day which is usually portrayed exactly how they want you to see it.

At Personal Progress, we know real life doesn’t always run to plan. Work gets busy, family stuff comes up, motivation dips and sometimes things just get in the way. All we ask is that when that happens, you communicate with us and be honest with yourself.

We’re here to support you and we’ll never judge you for having a bad week or things not going perfectly. But we can only help if you’re being honest about what’s really going on rather than making excuses.

Progress doesn’t come from pretending everything is perfect. It comes from being honest, adjusting when you need to and getting back to it.

“Vitamin B” is actually a whole group of vitamins, and between them they’re involved in everything from releasing energy from the food you eat to supporting your nervous system and making healthy red blood cells.

So when we talk about having enough energy to train, recover and get through normal life, B vitamins are part of that bigger picture.

Low levels of certain B vitamins can show up as things like tiredness, weakness or feeling generally run down. B12 deficiency can also affect the nerves, causing symptoms such as pins and needles.

The amount we need depends on the individual B vitamin, but a varied diet usually covers a lot of them.

Meat, fish, eggs, dairy, wholegrains, pulses and vegetables all contribute.

You don’t need to memorise every B vitamin. Just understand that eating a decent variety of foods matters for much more than calories and macros.

Before starting Elise was worried that she wasn't strong enough and that she wouldn't know what to do.

That quickly changed once she got started. She felt supported, comfortable and at ease, with the right guidance throughout and confidence that Katie knew exactly what she was doing.

If you're thinking of joining Elise says just go for it. Make the first move and start. It's worth it and you'll feel so much better for it 💪🏻

Vitamin A probably isn’t something you think much about when it comes to training, but it still plays a part in keeping everything working properly.

It supports normal vision, your immune system and the growth and repair of cells. All pretty useful when you’re trying to train, recover and generally feel well.

True deficiency isn’t common in the UK, but very low intake over time can affect things like your ability to see properly in low light.

Eggs, dairy and oily fish are useful sources, while foods like carrots, sweet potato and leafy greens provide beta-carotene, which the body can convert into vitamin A.

Another good reminder that eating a decent variety of foods usually does a lot more for us than chasing individual supplements.

Building significant muscle takes time, consistency, progressive training, sufficient food and a lot of effort.
It doesn’t accidentally happen because you lifted some dumbbells.

Women often spend years trying to become smaller rather than thinking about what they want their body to be capable of. As we age, strength becomes increasingly valuable. Resistance training can support muscle, bone health, physical function and independence.

Not to mention the confidence in realising what your body can actually do.

So getting stronger doesn't automatically mean getting bigger. Getting significantly bigger is actually a lot harder than people think.

Contrary to what we’ve been told for years, fat isn’t something we need to avoid.

Your brain is made up of around 60% fat, and dietary fats play an important role in keeping the body functioning properly 🧠

They help provide energy, support the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K, protect our organs and nerves, and play a key role in hormone production.

So while there’s still plenty of “low fat = healthier” messaging out there, it’s not that always the case. The type of fat, the amount you’re eating and the rest of your diet all matter.

So next time you automatically reach for the low-fat option, it might be worth thinking twice.

Do women really need to train that differently from men?

Not as much as people think.

Outside of differences in biological make-up, hormones and individual life stages, the fundamentals are still the same.
So someone training with good technique, consistency, progressive overload and intensity applies regardless of gender.

What matters most is the individual and their goals, experience, confidence, lifestyle and what they actually need and want from their training.

That’s why good coaching should be built around the person, which is exactly what we do here at Personal Progress 💪🏻

Creatine gets talked about a lot, but there is such an overload of information. We're here to simplify the science.

It’s not just for bodybuilders and it’s not something you need to be scared of using. Firstly, stop worrying about gaining weight. The scale can go up slightly when you start taking creatine, but that’s usually because your muscles are holding more water, not because you’ve suddenly gained body fat.

It can support strength, training performance and recovery, with growing evidence around benefits for brain health and healthy ageing too.

You do get some creatine naturally from foods like meat and fish, but supplementation is the easiest way to consistently get a useful amount.

Swipe through for a simple breakdown of what it is, why it matters and what you actually need to know 💪🏻
