You’re probably not pushing yourself hard enough…

And trust me, that’s not me being one of those ā€œgo hard or go homeā€ types

(I hate that phrase actually)

But you know those little 2kg dumbbells you’ve had for the past 15 years?

Yeah, you’re stronger than that, I can guarantee it

In fact, you lift heavier things than that in your everyday life

They just don’t have the number on them to tell you

You’re more capable than you give yourself credit for

I’m not even talking about what you can do after a bit of training

I’m saying that RIGHT NOW, you are too strong to just be lifting those

What you are capable of doing after some proper training is most likely something you can’t even fathom yourself doing right now

While I don’t see myself as much of a Mr Motivator type trainer

Coming to train at Lumen means you will absolutely be pushed to do what you’re actually capable of

But you’ll be pushed with gentle encouragement and a genuine belief that you can do more

Most of you just need someone to have confidence in you, so that you can start to have more confidence in yourself

If that’s what you need then Lumen Training is the place for you

It really is last chance saloon now for Revive In 5, if you want in then you need to comment ā€œREVIVEā€ right now so I can give you a message and get a chat booked in for tomorrow

It’s something you often notice suddenly…

But the reality is the process is already happening

You’ve been inactive for a while now and your body is steadily declining in how it functions

Not enough to notice on a day to day basis

But slowly the everyday things are getting that little bit harder to do

You wonder if maybe you’re just a bit tired today

Maybe you’re a bit dehydrated

Your body is telling you something

It’s telling you that if you don’t do something about it, you are going to lose the ability to live your life independently one day

And that ā€œone dayā€ could come a lot sooner than you’d ever thought it would

The good news is it’s not all doom and gloom

Yes, ageing and getting weaker are just part of life

But it doesn’t have to happen at the rate that it’s happening

Committing to keeping strong and active could give you back years, even decades of living life to it’s fullest

Without being limited by what your body will allow you to do

I know you’re waiting for the right time

But I can promise you the right time will never come

There will always be a reason to kick the can down the road a little longer

You’ve put it off for long enough

Now’s the time to take the leap and make the uncomfortable decision to get started

I’m using this week to get everybody set up to start our 5 week program Revive In 5 once I’m back from my week off (W/C Monday 28th September)

If you’re ready to stop putting this off, comment below ā€œREVIVEā€ and we can get you booked in and ready to go before the week is done šŸ‘‡šŸ¼

I used to get a bit insecure about the fact I would keep client’s programs the same for large chunks of time…

Worried that they would get bored or think I was being lazy and not doing my job

But actually I’ve come to realise that I was right the whole time, obviously

Because the problem with switching your program up all the time is you spend half your session figuring out what on earth it is you’re supposed to be doing

Rather than, you know, exercising

And that doesn’t mean nothing ever changes but we don’t need to overhaul your program every 4 weeks

You’re still gonna be doing roughly the same bunch of basic movements, we just may tweak some of the variables as we go

So I personally prefer to make things as simple as possible for my clients to come in a get really valuable training done

They’ve all got busy lives with a million other things on their mind

The least I can do is not give them a new session plan to figure out every week

I’m getting everybody set up for Revive In 5 this week and I’m buzzing to get them started

I probably have capacity to fit in one or two more for our evening slots so if you fancy a 5:30pm or 6:30pm group then comment ā€œREVIVEā€ and I’ll get you in šŸ‘‡šŸ¼

The problem with joining a gym and doing this all by yourself is that it’s just very hard to do with no support if you’re a beginner 🄲

Sure you get an induction, but what does that really give you?

A once over on all the machines from a disinterested PT and then you’re sent on your way to crack on by yourself

Even though you’ve forgotten the name of all the machines by that point, let alone how to actually use them

What I’ve seen actually work time and time again is structure

A structured plan, with structured support and structured session times

This takes the thinking out of it for you whilst you get comfortable in this new environment

And if you can get yourself feeling comfortable in the gym then you’ve got a real shot at sticking at it long enough to see real results

This doesn’t mean you sign up to a PT forever, the point of personal training is to get you to a point where you are comfortable managing your own training

For some people this takes 3 months, for others it takes a year

However long it takes, it’s quicker than doing it by yourself

Today is the last day you can sign up for Revive In 5 so if you need some support then now’s the time to act

Comment below ā€œREVIVEā€ and I’ll message you the sign up link šŸ‘‡šŸ¼

I spy someone new coaching at Lumen šŸ‘€

Jem has completed all her training and is ready to take on our new evening groups from next week…

We will be starting off with 5:30pm & 6:30pm slots on Mon-Thurs

I am personally buzzing to have her onboard and to be able to offer these evening slots as I think it’s such a valuable opportunity to have

Gyms are always packed in the evenings but plenty of you can only make it at that time

If you also aren’t really sure what you’re doing and feel a bit anxious about going then it becomes an almost impossible ask for you to get any consistency with it

How much better would it be to join us in our private gym?

Away from all the busyness and having sessions led by experts that will actually work towards your goal of finally feeling confident in your body and yourself again

We’d love to have you and I think these spaces are going to go quick…

Revive In 5 is officially on general sale so if you are keen to see if we’d be a good fit for you then just comment ā€˜REVIVE’ below šŸ‘‡šŸ¼

Whether you strength train or not will make or break your retirement…

I’d go as far as to say it’s almost as important as saving into your pension

What good is it having a load of money saved up if your body can’t move well enough to properly enjoy it?

I don’t even mean doing anything particularly strenuous

If you’re inactive and heading towards your retirement, the little things are going to start to get hard

Getting up and down off the floor

Going up the stairs

Opening jars

Picking up your grandchildren

I say this with love because you need to hear it

And better you realise it now than when you get to that point and feel like you’ve got a mountain to climb to regain your strength and function

Past 30 years old you can lose up to 8% of your muscle mass per decade

During the first 5 years of menopause you could lose up to 10% of your bone density

But if you prioritise it now and put in the effort, you can completely change the course of the next 10-20 years of your life

It doesn’t need to be complicated and if it feels complicated right now, let me simplify it for you

5 weeks of 2 small group strength training sessions per week at our private gym, Lumen Training

Surrounded by gorgeous countryside and likeminded women, led by coaches that are invested in your success

Revive In 5 spaces go on general sale tomorrow and we will likely only have a couple of spaces left

Comment below ā€œREVIVEā€ and I’ll send you the sign up link as soon as we are live šŸ‘‡šŸ¼šŸ‘‡šŸ¼šŸ‘‡šŸ¼

If you’ve been going to a physio for ages now but still find yourself in pain all the time then this is for you…

Being in pain sucks, no two ways about it

But if you want to improve your pain and function then you have to take an active role in that recovery

For example, how many times have you done those exercises they gave you to do?

There’s a reason you get sent off with exercises and it’s because movement is the next step in the process

I’ve had countless experiences where clients have had a chronic pain condition all but disappear after a month or so of strength training

Not everyone’s issues are solved that simply but you’d be amazed at what some consistent strength training can do

It’s time to try something else and I’ve got just the thing

Our 5 week small group program, Revive In 5, is back and ready to help you get back your confidence

Spaces have just gone on sale to the priority list so you’ll have to wait until Wednesday to see if there are any left…

What would you say to someone thinking of joining? šŸ¤”

Katie has been with us for over a year now so if anyone knows what being a part of Lumen Training is all about then it’s her!

Sometimes it feels like the enquiry or the message is like you’re already making the decision…

But in reality, I have at least 2 calls with potential clients before any commitment is made

For two major reasons…

Firstly, I know it’s a big commitment for you to make and I don’t take that lightly

I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t make sure I thought this was 100% the right option for you before we start

To do that I need to get to know you, know what’s led you to this point and what we are ultimately aiming towards

That’s how I can be sure that I’m the one to help you

The second reason is I only take on people I like, so I need to make sure you’re the right client for me as well šŸ˜‚

In all seriousness, I really mean it when I say these calls are just a 0 pressure way of seeing if what we do fits what you need

If I think there’s something else that would suit you better for any reason, I’ll send you that way

And seeing as I didn’t post yesterday I’m making today the last day you can sign up to the priority list for Revive In 5 šŸ‘€

Comment below ā€œREVIVEā€ now so I can add you to the list asap šŸ‘‡šŸ¼šŸ‘‡šŸ¼šŸ‘‡šŸ¼
