Reiss left us this review last week and one line has been rattling around my head since.

“It feels less like a gym, and more like hanging out with friends to better yourselves.”

A few years back, Reiss wasn’t training at all. The weight had crept up, the motivation had gone, and he wasn’t feeling great about himself.

He describes joining as “biting the bullet” - which tells you exactly how he was feeling a bit taking that first step back.

i’m sure you can relate.

Most people picture walking into a room full of strangers who all know what they’re doing, while they try to figure out how to adjust a seat without launching themselves across the floor. So they put it off…

Sometimes for years.

What Reiss actually walked into was a coach who knows when to push him (Shout out to Coach Phil, who might be unbearable about this shout-out for at least a fortnight), people who welcomed him in from day one, and sessions he now looks forward to.

He says it changed his whole mindset as well as his health.

And the community he’s on about was never a marketing plan… It’s just what happens when people are known by name, are missed when they’re off, and are allowed to have a laugh between sets (even if they use it as a tool to try and distract us).

If you’ve been circling that first step for a while, DM STRONG and we’ll help you take it.

Nobody walks in on day one calling it their favourite part of the week.

Most folk turn up because they know they should. A bit nervous. Not sure they belong.

Then it shifts.

The coach knows your name. You’ve got a couple of people you’d notice if they weren’t in. The hour stops being a chore and starts being the bit you’d protect when everything else is mad.

That’s not the equipment. You don’t get that from access to a room.

That’s the Club 300 way and the community is the beating heart of everything we do.

If you’ve been meaning to start, DM STRONG and we’ll point you in the right direction.

Bit of an honest one.

I’ve fallen out of love with posting on here.

Ten years I’ve been at this, near enough, and somewhere along the way it stopped being fun.

In fact it’s absolutely became a bit of a slog.

Just another thing on the list I’d put off until Sunday night and then resent.

Lucy and I were watching Clarkson’s Farm last night (if you’ve not seen it, sort your life out) and I got thinking about why we’re always so keen for the next season the second it lands.

Then the penny dropped.

He’s just showing you the whole thing. A man with no real clue what he’s doing, having a go anyway. The daft ideas, the struggles, the bits that actually work, the odd tear. Nothing dressed up to look better than it is.

And that’s the bit that hooks you. Watching someone share the actual journey and going “I feel that” - realising life’s hard for everyone, even one of the most successful presenters on the tv.

So instead of going back to what I’ve done for years, I want to just try and document more of what we do.

What we’re up to, what’s happening in the gym, the good weeks and the ones where the wheels come off. All of it, not only the wins.

So, let’s see how it goes.

Some people have spent years convinced they’re just not a gym person.

Fair enough. If every session felt like something to get through, why would you think anything else?

But the dread usually isn’t about the training.

It’s walking in unsure what to do. Feeling like everyone else has it sorted. Pushing through something joyless, then bracing yourself to do it all again next week.

That’s not you lacking discipline. That’s a setup that was never built to make showing up feel any good.

Sean knew that feeling well.

The gym used to be something he dreaded. Now it’s something he looks forward to.

Same guy. He just stopped trying to white-knuckle his way through it on his own.

He’s got a plan. He knows what he’s doing when he walks in. There’s people around him and a coach who notices.

Get that in place, and the dread has a way of quietly disappearing.

DM START if the gym’s always felt like something to survive - and you fancy building one you don’t dread.

Five years of running this place and I still get asked what makes it different.

The honest answer is mostly what we don’t do.

We don’t shout at people.
We don’t run bootcamps.
We don’t sell access and hope you figure it out.
We don’t pretend the answer is wanting it more.

We coach you, we notice if when you’ve been a bit absent and we adjust when life gets in the way.

That’s it.

It’s in the same room with the same approach and same faces still showing up five years later.

That’s the Club 300 way.

If you want a feel for how it actually works, drop me the word MAY and I’ll send you a quick walkthrough.

Getting in shape’s hard enough on its own.

Try doing it while working full-time, keeping the kids alive, remembering whose birthday party you’re meant to be at this weekend… and attempting to have some sort of social life.

Suddenly squeezing in fitness becomes a bit more interesting.

Which is exactly why trying to rely on motivation usually goes spectacularly well for about 9 days.

You need a bit of help.

A bit of support.

And something that still works when life inevitably gets messy.

Because fitness shouldn’t feel like a constant battle with your diary.

18 years in.

Still rubbish at something.

I’ve been training for nearly two decades and I’m currently learning my first strict ring muscle-up off the internet, like everyone else.

Honest thoughts? Training gets boring after a while.

Squat. Bench. Deadlift. Repeat.

The basics still work… they always will, but after this long, if I don’t give myself something to chase, I start going through the motions.

And if I’m just going through the motions, I stop turning up the way I want to.

So I picked something that makes me feel like a beginner again.

False grip hangs that absolutely melt my forearms.

Transitions I’m pretty sure I’m doing slightly wrong.

Strict Muscle ups… a skill I’ve dabbled with for years and never actually committed to.

It’s humbling.

It also reminds me what it probably feels like for someone walking through our doors for the first time - not knowing what they’re doing, hoping nobody’s watching, trying to figure out a movement off a screen.

Difference is, our lot don’t have to figure it out alone.

I sort of do, with this one.

Anyway - thought I’d bring you along for it.

Week one felt rough. Week two felt better. We’ll see where it’s at in a few months.

That’s the Club 300 way 🖤

I can usually tell when someone’s been thinking about it for a while before they walk in.

They arrive slightly braced - like they’re half-waiting to be told they’re in the wrong place.

We had a new client in this week.

After her first session she told me she’d been driving past the gym for years. Wanted to join the whole time but talked herself out of it every time because she didn’t think she’d be able to keep up.

I asked her how she felt now she’d done one.

She was beaming.

Said it was nowhere near as scary as she’d built it up to be… actually it wasn’t scary at all - she loved it.

That’s usually the bit no one tells you.

The first session is simpler than you’d expect… the room isn’t full of people watching you and the coach isn’t just waiting for you to fail.

If any of these slides sound like the thoughts you’ve been turning over, you’ve probably been turning them over for long enough.

Have a look around the place… that’s all you’d have to do for now.

There’s a weird point where people almost give themselves permission to stop.

“Ach well… I’m a bit older now.”
“I’ve left it too long.”
“This is probably just how I am.”

And it’s funny how quickly that story starts sounding true when you repeat it enough.

Then somebody like Janet comes in…

Starts training.

Gets stronger.

And ends up saying:

“I am amazed how I can lift heavy weights… and it helps me enjoy my life to the full.”

Which is some review by the way.

Because nobody’s chasing a medal here.

People want to get out the car without feeling stiff.

Carry shopping bags without sounding like they’ve ran a marathon.

Feel strong.

Feel capable.

Enjoy life a bit more.

It’s amazing how much better everything feels when your body starts working with you instead of against you.
