Stephanie came to me after years of noticing her posture changing, watching herself slowly start to mirror her mum’s. 

——
Her core had checked out.  Her energy had dipped. 

——
She’d tried the gym, tried a PT, but nothing felt like it was building towards anything lasting.

——
What she wanted was results that would stick. 

Long term.

——
A few months in? Her shoulders don’t ache carrying things.  Her balance is better.  She’s stronger.

And, her words, she “doesn’t look quite such a blob” anymore 😄

She’s not living with a hump in her back like her mother.  She feels better than the rest of her family.  She doesn’t feel her age.

——
If Stephanie can get results like this, so can you.

“What if nobody tells you when you’re doing it wrong?”⬇️⬇️⬇️

That’s the worry Martyn carried into every class before he found us.
Now? He knows someone’s always got his back.

Whether you’re in the studio in Folkestone or working with me online — you won’t be left to figure it out alone.

You don’t need to live in the gym to add years to your life. ⬇️⬇️

New research in the British Journal of Sports Medicine tracked over 147,000 people for 30 years and found that just 90 minutes to two hours of strength training per week:

• Lowered the risk of premature death from any cause by 13%
• Lowered the risk of dying from cardiovascular disease by 19%
• Lowered the risk of dying from neurological disease (think dementia) by 27%

The really interesting bit?

More than two hours a week didn’t add any extra benefit.

The sweet spot is surprisingly achievable. One expert described strength training as “a powerful tool, particularly in support of healthy ageing - helping prevent or delay poor health, keeping us mobile and independent.”

Sound familiar? If you’re working with me 1:1 through the Shisei Method, on in Strong Movement Club you’re already doing consistent, well-structured strength work that fits into your life. 💪

No hours of exercising. Just enough, done well. You’re already in a good place. 🙌

Sue came to me with chronic back pain.

She’d tried physio, acupuncture, massage therapy — all helped a little. But not enough. 

She can now walk 3 miles with little discomfort.

She rarely needs pain medication. She’d previously taken it daily. 

This is what’s possible when you stop patching and start understanding your body. 

More on this soon.

You’ve just finished your first session … teacher / coach asks how you found it…

“Not as awful as I thought it would be” 🤣🤣🤣

So this is your sign - if you’ve been thinking of starting something but been avoiding it… just try it - you might actually like it 🤩

🟠 Comment ‘awful’ if you want to know ways we can work together. I promise it won’t be awful 😇

If you’re waking up stiff, hitting a wall every time you try to get more active, or quietly accepting that pain is just “part of life now” I want to talk about that. 

Because it’s not inevitable.

And you’re not too far gone. 

Something I’ve been working on is dropping this week.
