Core Strength!!! It’s not visible abs & aesthetics, it’s stability, total body strength, functional fitness, postural improvements, injury prevention. From lifters to runners to run around after the kids all day mamas and papas we can ALL benefit from improvement in core strength - Here’s a very vague and super sped up video of some of my favourite core strengthening moves, including some suitable for complete beginners and post natal peeps 💕

📣 ANNOUNCEMENT 📣
Some exciting news is coming up in regards to classes I’ll be running at - one of which will be a class you can bring the kids along to, tailored and geared towards postpartum fitness! If you wanna be kept in the loop or would like more info then drop me a DM 💕💕💕

⭐️⭐️⭐️LET’S HEAR IT FOR DR LYDIA ⭐️⭐️⭐️

❗️❗️❗️Client shout out time❗️❗️❗️

I’ve been working with Lydia since early 2022 and in that short time the progress this incredible woman has made is nothing but inspiring (and mildly petrifying if I’m honest). From finally getting her well deserved graduation ceremony, to working all the weird hours being a Doctor demands, she has never once turned up to a session anything less than determined. Other than the odd whinge when I’ve suggested we do something vaguely cardio related (over 8 reps I believe 😉😂😂😂) she’s been a dream client and a pleasure to work with. From hitting a 100kg squat goal over a month early (and actually smashing past the 100 mark too) to hip thrusting so much I had to fashion a special resistance band device to hold the excess amount of plates on the bar, can’t wait to see what madness you achieve next 😍

Let’s be honest, pull ups make you look cool
AF don’t they?! As one of the benchmark moves of bodyweight strength it’s true they aren’t the easiest thing to master. Moves such a dumbbell rows and lat pull downs can help build a strong base for the movement, but here I demo some of the bar specific movements I incorporate into my workouts (please note, resistance bands are much easier to use if you’re training with another person 😂):
1 - Dead Hang/Scapula Pull Ups
2 - Banded Negative Pull Ups
3 - Banded Pull Ups
4 - Banded Top Holds
5 - Negative Pull Ups
6 - Top Holds

Some of these are very advanced moves and should only be carried out when prerequisites have been mastered/base strength work has been carried out in order to perform them safely, this will help keep you injury free & strong. If you’d like some more info or want to start your journey to mastering the power of a pull up I’m now offering PT sessions from the fabulous in Leicester City Centre 💕💪🏼💕💪🏼

💕The Importance Of Cross Training 💕

As a pole dancer/aerialist why should you bother with strength training or cardio work in the gym? I could yabber on for hours about this, but ain’t nobody got time for that, so here’s just a few of the benefits displayed in super handy and caption character saving bullet points:

- helps prevent injuries
- increases stamina for those super long combos/routines
- increases total body strength (including grip & core) to help you nail those pesky inverts
- helps to keep your body ‘equal’ (as much as we say we train both sides equally in pole/aerial we can all get a little ‘wonky’ over time)

I currently have limited space for some weekday daytime PT clients (including mornings) at the fabulous, private studio in Leicester City Centre, if you wanted to have a no pressure chit chat about how you can get started please do drop me a message 🤩

I work with a lot of pole dancers and aerialists for whom invert strength is one of their main goals - straight arm hang work is one of the absolute base parts of my own training - but don’t be fooled, this stuff isn’t just for those who chose the upside down life - from grip strength for your big lifts, to postural corrections & spinal decompressions, to shoulder health and overall core strength you can’t beat a bit of Tarzan time. Here is a list of some of the movements I incorporate into my workouts:
1 - Long Arm Hang/Dead Hang
2 - Scapula Pull Ups
3 - Knee Tucks
4 - Tuck Hold
5 - Tuck & Single Leg Extend
6 - Tuck & Double Leg Extend
7 - Straight Leg Lifts
8 - L Hang Hold
9 - Froggy Tippy Tucks 🐸
10 - Toes to Bar

Some of these are very advanced moves and should only be carried out when prerequisites has been mastered, there are shoulder engagements and steps to these moves that need greater explanation to perform safely, this will help keep you injury free & strong. If you’d like some more info or want to start your journey to mastering the monkey bars at your local park I’m now offering I for PT sessions from the fabulous 💕💪🏼💕💪🏼

1st video clip filmed at the brilliant in Hinckley, if you live in the area definitely check this gym out, the strength and conditioning room is incredible & the range of kit is superb.

All other video clips filmed at the beautiful private studio , a gorgeous space filled with everything you’d need and more to work towards your fitness goals, all the PTs that work there are super knowledgeable, super friendly and super fabulous 💕💕💕

⚠️TW: ED & Mental Health⚠️ Some may see a poorly girl transformed into a slightly more wrinkly but healthier woman - I see someone who overcame some pretty serious demons, still battles with them daily, and not only survives but often thrives (even though I genuinely don’t feel like I do a lot of the time 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️). Be your very own inspiration, look back, you may ask yourself how the f**k you made it through, and you can tell yourself who cares, you did. Keep doing what you do to grow, physically, mentally, spiritually if that’s your jam. For me it was all about changing my relationship with exercise, making it fun, goals based and about what my body can do, not what it can’t. Whether that’s in the gym or in the air, for me it was LIFE CHANGING.

Side note: I do not actually have a frogs face, although I kind of think it suits me.

HEY ALL!!!
It’s been…..well, a while!
Sorry for the internet silence (other than great story shares of dogs - it’s always the dogs isn’t it, that’s why you’re here really). So although I’ve been absent social media wise I’ve been a busy little bee behind the scenes and have some SUPER EXCITING news to share with you all, especially those that don’t like the cold 🤣, I am now offering INDOOR PT sessions from the wonderful in Leicester City Centre.
This diamond of a gym offers a completely different experience, it is a female owned (by the fabulous ) and run, small boutique space, perfect for personal training - with a healthy mind, healthy body, super friendly vibe it just seemed like the ideal space for me, my clients and the GR-IPT mentality 💕
I’ll still be offering online and home/garden based PTs but if I for gym based is your jam please do drop me a DM for a no pressure chit chat or some more info. Whether you have specific goals in mind or just want to move more and feel better, I’d love to help 💕

I hope you enjoy these super awkward photos I took of myself - they just scream ‘i’m just a super goofy character, so silly, come be friends with me’ 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

Perks of Park Training?…No.685: Swing play between sets. I was even kind enough to let my client use the grown up seat whilst I diced with possible fire brigade butt stuck rescue.

Do you fancy training in the fresh air? Are you short on time to visit an indoor gym? Are childcare issues a problem? Have your PT session whilst the kids play on the park or I can come to you and train in your very own back yard.

I’ve some limited spaces become available in the weekday daytime, so if you want to work on getting fitter and hopefully having some fun at the same time please do drop me a DM for more details 💜🥰💜 (thanks to for photographing my ever increasing and overwhelming professionalism).

THERE’S NO-ONE QUITE LIKE NANCY:
This post is dedicated to one of the hardest workers out there, every session she gives it her absolute all (as you can maybe tell by this incredible collage I call ‘Knackered Nancy’). Nancy is one of the kindest souls there ever was, a true diamond - She’s also a black belt in kickboxing & could probably take my head off with a single leg swoop if she so chooses…not that that influences this post at all……😅🤣
I have worked with Nancy for a few months now and she has made amazing progress. Head to the comments to see her incredible sprint finish in her most recent accomplishment, completing a 10k race and making it look like the easiest thing in the world (sorry for my screeching - I was quite excited as you may be able to tell), Nancy ran way before we began working together, but her additional strength work has meant she finished the course feeling good, strong & with minimal & smooth recovery. Nancy also owns the cutest bear like dogs you’ll ever see - my weekly wrestles with Gordon are a personal highlight of my week. She also has the same name as one of my dogs, fun fact. You are amazing Nancy, thank you for trusting me to be a small part of your fitness journey 💜👏🏽💜👏🏽

🚨 TW: ED discussion 🚨

Training for skills not scales. The photo in the middle was taken a couple of months into my recovery from anorexia, I was lost, I was drinking too much and was battling with trying to learn a new way of living… my relationship with exercise was completely broken, it was something I loved and was in a committed partnership with, but the relationship was toxic - it was like that meme with the confused woman and all the numbers/equations… constantly striving to reach a certain number, calories burned, time spent, did this outweigh that and would I be able to sleep that night knowing a target had been hit, being fully aware that all a hit target meant was a greater one the next day…I was chasing an ever moving target, but ultimately I was chasing death.

Of course not everyone that calorie counts or weighs themselves weekly will develop an eating disorder, but do you really want your life and happiness to be determined by a (probably inaccurate) piece of plastic?

I encourage all my clients to set themselves skills based goals, whether that’s taking the stairs to their flat without getting out of breath, chasing the kids round the park for half an hour without feeling completely exhausted afterwards, completing their first full push up or smashing that aerial or pole move they’ve been dreaming of…

These sorts of goals encourage you to see what exercise can really bring you, and that’s joy, a sense of achievement and a relationship with your body that makes you say ‘HELL YEAH I DID THAT!’… and more often than not when we start to feel better about what we can do we then start to feel better about how we look.

The outer two photos are screenshots from my training yesterday at - I have no idea what I weigh but I feel strong and happy that I’m still here, something that I really didn’t think would be possible a few years ago.

Find the exercise that enhances your life and doesn’t imprison it.

If you ask me what is one of the best parts about being a mobile PT I’ll probably say something like ‘because I get to offer something slightly different to the norm’, ‘I can help people who wouldn’t necessarily have got into fitness via the gym based route to flourish, feel better and improve that all important self belief’ or ‘I help people feel the true physical and mental benefit of exercising in the great outdoors’………..but in reality I mean to say dogs, it’s all the dogs (and the cats and the bunnies and the lizards). Sorry. If you want to help me pet more furry creatures then I’ve got a couple of limited spots just become available for PT sessions in the comfort of your very own garden…I might also try and help you with the other points mentioned in this post I guess 💁🏻‍♀️😉 Drop me a DM for more details if you’d like to make my four legged dreams come true.
