“You already know what to do.
You’re just negotiating with comfort.”

And that applies to training more than we like to admit
You know you’ll feel better after you train.
You know consistency gets results.
You know strength, fitness and confidence aren’t built by waiting for motivation to appear.

But comfort is persuasive.

“I’ll start Monday.”
“I’m too tired today.”
“I’ve missed a few sessions, what’s the point?”
“I’m not fit enough to join that class.”

The truth? You don’t need to feel ready. You just need to stop negotiating.

Get through the door.
Do the session.
Take the first step.

Because the version of you that you’re working towards is built outside your comfort zone.

And I promise, you’ll never regret the workout you nearly talked yourself out of.

Comment or dm “Comfort” if you’d like help on how to start training for health or Hyrox (or both)

Stop negotiating. Start moving.

With the “back to school” posts everywhere, at this time of year I always reflect on my time in teaching and how I miss it.

For a long time, I thought leaving teaching meant failure, I’d given up on my dream since I was 11 and I was changing career. But on reflection, actually, I don’t think I ever really changed career. I just changed the people I was helping.

I’ve always loved two things: helping people and sport/exercise. As a Head of PE in secondary schools, my role was about educating, developing and inspiring young people. There was a huge amount of accountability, responsibility and, at times, having to justify every decision I made.

Now, I educate and coach adults in health and fitness and recently specialising in The cohort has changed, the environment has changed and the type of accountability has changed, but the purpose hasn’t.

And with HYROX, for the next generation , I’ve now come full circle. I get to work with the next generation again, inspiring young people through sport, just in a completely different environment.

Every now and again I think, should I change career? Should I try something completely different?

But then I realise how lucky I am.

I love what I do.

I’ve found my vocation, and perhaps a vocation doesn’t mean doing exactly the same thing forever. Maybe it means knowing what drives you, what you’re passionate about and what gives you purpose… and having the courage to adapt it as life changes.

Different people.
Different environment.
Different chapter.
Same purpose.

So yes I do miss the school environment, and this time of year is difficult, reflecting on the career I could have had. But there’s a lot that I don’t miss, and a lot I am doing now that makes me realise I made the right decision.

I’m incredibly grateful, proud, and, if I’m honest, slightly overwhelmed to have been selected as one of just 60 coaches accepted onto the Red Bull HYROX Coaches Camp in Brazil. 🇧🇷

In an industry where success can sometimes feel like it’s measured by how many followers you have, how big your social media presence is, or how good you are (or were) as an athlete, this recognition means something different to me.

I haven’t been selected because I have the biggest following.

I haven’t been selected because I’m an elite HYROX athlete.

I’ve been recognised as a coach because of my experience, qualifications, coaching ethos and vision for the sport.

And that honestly means more than I can put into words.

After 17 years in education, a degree in Sport & Exercise Science, years of coaching, continual learning, and a genuine obsession with understanding how people move, train and perform, I’ve always believed that being a great coach is about far more than your own athletic ability.

It’s about understanding and empathy.
It’s about adapting.
It’s about communicating.
It’s about continuing to learn.
And ultimately, it’s about helping someone else become better.

Being recognised in this way has definitely had me fighting off the imposter syndrome.

But perhaps that’s a good thing.

Because it reminds me that opportunities like this aren’t just about where you are now. They’re about the years of work, learning and belief that got you here.

So, Red Bull and HYROX thank you for believing in me as a coach.

I’m incredibly excited to learn, contribute, meet some amazing coaches and represent what I believe coaching should be.

Trying to be more like Dan Shuttleworth phase 2…

Lowered the platform to encourage a straight-leg landing, helping reinforce the correct landing position without allowing the height of the box to dictate the movement (and reduces near death)

Vertical jumps for maximum height. This is all about producing as much explosive force as possible and developing vertical power.

Box jump to broad jump, Changing the direction of the jump produces power in different ways/planes.

Single-leg broad jumps, working unilaterally helps isolate power production on each leg. It reduces the opportunity for the dominant side to take over, encouraging greater individual muscle adaptation and balanced power development (makes you realise you’ve forgotten how to hop)

Every achievement matters. One of the things I love most about our gym is that we celebrate every single Hyrox achievement. Whether they are one of our elite athletes competing at the World Championships, or someone stepping onto the start line at their very first local Hyrox— their achievement matters.
The patches on our wall are just as important as the flags!! Because behind every patch is a person, a goal, a story and a huge amount of hard work.
For one athlete, the goal might be a sub-60 minute Pro time. For another, it might simply be crossing that finish line for the first time, there is no hierarchy to achievement. Displaying those achievements around our gym is more than decoration. It’s a reminder that our gym is connected to the people who train here. We know their goals, we understand their journeys and we celebrate their progress.
It’s about coaching people, not just coaching athletes, personalised, empathetic, connected.
Because whether they are bringing home a World Championship flag or proudly adding their first Hyrox patch to the wall... we’re proud of them.

What a fab first HYROX, for the next generation session@of the holidays.
we focused on the key elements of a HYROX race, giving them the chance to experience running, sled pushes and pulls, rowing, and burpees in a fun and supportive environment. The emphasis was on learning the movements, working as a team, challenging themselves and, most importantly, having fun! It was fantastic to see so much energy, enthusiasm and big smiles throughout it 😍🔥🔥

HYROX, for the next generation Westmorlandcrossfit

07/08/2026

Plyometric training develops your ability to produce force quickly. Meaning…..

Faster acceleration out of stations
Better running economy (less energy used at the same pace)
More explosive power for lunges, wall balls and burpee broad jumps
Improved stiffness and elasticity through the ankles and legs for more efficient movement
Increased resilience of tendons and connective tissue, helping reduce injury risk when programmed correctly

HYROX isn’t just about being strong or having a big engine, it’s about how efficiently you can transfer that strength into movement when you’re already fatigued, which let’s face it…. In a race…. You’re physically F****d
