If you're a woman who has been thinking...

โ€œI really need to get back into a routine.โ€

โ€œI want to lose some weight.โ€

โ€œI'd love to feel stronger.โ€

โ€œI just want to feel comfortable in myself again.โ€

Then this could be exactly what you've been looking for.

This is NOT your typical gym where you pay an entry fee, wander around the equipment for an hour and hope you're doing the right thing.

๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿป No help.
๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿป No support.
๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿป No idea what you're supposed to be doing.
๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿป No intimidating gym environment.

It's NOT like that here at Chris Bradley Personal Training.

We don't have rows of treadmills.

We don't have hundreds of machines.

There aren't mirrors everywhere you look.

And you won't be left wondering what to do next.

Instead...

We coach you step-by-step through a proven system that's helped over 500 men and women transform their bodies and, more importantly, feel better about themselves.

So if you're ready to...

โ˜‘๏ธ Lose body fat
โ˜‘๏ธ Get fitter and stronger
โ˜‘๏ธ Feel more confident
โ˜‘๏ธ Get back into a routine
โ˜‘๏ธ Learn how to eat without constantly dieting
โ˜‘๏ธ Feel comfortable and confident in the gym
โ˜‘๏ธ Make yourself a priority again
..without having to:

โŒ Follow a super-restrictive diet
โŒ Give up your social life
โŒ Spend hours doing boring cardio
โŒ Train every single day
โŒ Try to figure everything out yourself

Then CBPT could be the place for you.

You don't need to be fit before you start.

You don't need to know what you're doing.

And you definitely don't need to wait until you feel confident enough to walk through the door.

That's what we're here for.

Every year when August hits, I hear it...

โ€œI think I'm going to have to take a break.โ€

And to be honest, I get it.

I know how busy it can be because it's exactly the same in our house.

The summer holidays are chaotic.

Kids are off school.

You're trying to squeeze in those last few days out.

Holidays, day trip activities, family time...

And this year especially, we've had another change of routine in our house with our oldest starting secondary school for 1st year.

New school.

New routine.

New times.

New things to organise.

It feels like everything changes at once.

And I know that's the reality for a lot of families.

So when August comes around and you think...

โ€œI'm going to have to take a break from training for a few weeks.โ€

I completely understand. It's overwhelming!

But here's the bit I always try to remind people...

You don't necessarily need to quit.

Maybe August just needs to look a little different.

Train less.

Be a little more relaxed with your food.

Miss the odd session.

Turn it down a notch. Don't turn it off completely.

Because what I often find is that after those first couple of weeks of madness...

You relax.

The kids go back to school.

Football and activities return.

The school runs start again.

The normal weekly routine begins to fall back into place.

And suddenly you've got a bit more breathing room.

That's when it's time to turn it back up.

And if you DID decide to take a complete break...

That's okay too.

But here's your little kick up the bum...

The kids are back now.

The madness is starting to settle.

So don't let a couple of weeks turn into a couple of months.

Don't wait until January.

Don't tell yourself you've ruined your progress.

Don't wait until you feel motivated.

Just get started again.

One session.

One decent meal.

One walk.

One better choice.

Then another.

You don't need to make up for August.

You just need to get back into your routine.

August was about getting through the madness.

Now it's time to turn things back up again.

The kids are back at school.

Now it's your turn.

We could tell you that every single person who joins us gets exactly the result they wanted.

But that wouldnโ€™t be true.

And weโ€™d rather be honest with you.

Because we can give you the training plan.

We can give you the nutrition guidance.

We can give you the support, accountability and coaching.

But we canโ€™t do the work for you.

You still have to show up.

You still have to make the better choices.

You still have to keep going when life gets busy.

Because investing in your health isnโ€™t like buying something from a shop.

You donโ€™t hand over your money and walk away with the result.

But hereโ€™s where good coaching makes a huge difference.

Our job isnโ€™t just to tell you what to do.

Itโ€™s to teach you WHY youโ€™re doing it.

How to train properly.

How to eat better without living on a diet.

How to make better decisions when life gets busy.

And how to keep going when things donโ€™t go perfectly.

One of the things weโ€™re most proud of is seeing former clients continue to use what they learned long after their coaching finishes.

One former client recently told us:

โ€œIโ€™ve just kept training, eating well and sticking to the principles you taught me.โ€

They werenโ€™t following a new 12-week plan.

They werenโ€™t being coached every week.

They simply had the knowledge and confidence to keep going.

It shouldnโ€™t make you dependent on your coach forever.

It should make you better equipped to look after yourself.

Thatโ€™s why we donโ€™t believe in cookie-cutter plans.

We work with the person in front of us.

Your goals.

Your lifestyle.

Your experience.

Your challenges.

Your starting point.

Because getting you results is important.

I get asked this all the time.

โ€œIs it better to train in the morning?โ€

โ€œWill I burn more calories if I train at night?โ€

โ€œAm I stronger at certain times of the day?โ€

The truth is, there can be small differences in performance depending on when you train.

But for most people, thereโ€™s a much more important question:

โฐ ๐–๐ก๐ž๐ง ๐‚๐š๐ง ๐˜๐จ๐ฎ ๐“๐ซ๐š๐ข๐ง ๐‚๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ฅ๐ฒ?

Because the best workout time isnโ€™t the one that sounds best on paper.

Itโ€™s the one that fits your life.

If your evenings are chaos with work, kids and commitments, and you know that once you get home youโ€™re not leaving againโ€ฆ

Train in the morning.

Get it done before the day gets in the way. โšก๏ธ

But if the thought of a 6am alarm makes you want to throw your phone across the roomโ€ฆ

Donโ€™t force it.

Train after work.

Use it to switch off, clear your head and finish the day feeling better than you started it. ๐Ÿ’ช

And if lunchtime works best?

Train then.

Thereโ€™s no magic hour.

Thereโ€™s no perfect time.

Thereโ€™s only the time that you can realistically commit to and stick with.

Because one workout at the โ€œperfectโ€ time is worth far less than three or four workouts you consistently get done.

So stop worrying about whether youโ€™re training at the right time.

Find a time that works for YOUR life.

Train consistently.

Eat reasonably well.

Recover properly.

And give it time.

Something Iโ€™ve been thinking about a lot lately.

Over the past year, Iโ€™ve met people who have really made me think differently about what fitness means as we get older.

After 24 years of coaching, Iโ€™ve always understood the importance of being fit.

But Iโ€™m 44 now, and Iโ€™m starting to see it differently.

Itโ€™s becoming less about getting fitter and fitterโ€ฆ

And more about staying fit enough.

Fit enough to play football.

Fit enough to ride a bike. ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Fit enough to keep up with the kids.

Fit enough to enjoy a holiday.

Fit enough to climb a hill without feeling wrecked.

And fit enough to still feel strong, capable and confident.

Iโ€™m not training to win trophies anymore. ๐Ÿ†

Iโ€™m not trying to be the fittest guy in the room.

Life is different now.

Family. Work. Business. Responsibilities.

But thatโ€™s exactly why training has become MORE important to me.

The goal isnโ€™t to constantly push your limits.

Itโ€™s to maintain what youโ€™ve built.

Keep your strength.

Keep your fitness.

Keep your mobility.

Keep your energy.

Keep your confidence.

Because fitness can disappear a lot quicker than you think.

A few weeks off becomes a few months.

A few months becomes a year.

And suddenly things you used to do without thinking become harder.

Thatโ€™s why I believe in keeping training simple.

45 minutes.

3โ€“4 times a week.

Strength training.

A decent sweat.

A bit of conditioning.

And consistency.

Thatโ€™s enough to keep you fit enough to keep doing the things you enjoy.

Because as you get older, fitness isnโ€™t about proving how fit you are.

If youโ€™ve let your fitness slip, donโ€™t think you need to go from zero to 100.

Start small.

Get moving.

Build some consistency.

Get yourself back to being fit enough.

Sound familiar?

Fat loss can feel overwhelming.

Thereโ€™s always another diet to try, another workout to follow, another rule to remember and another piece of advice telling you that youโ€™re doing it wrong.

But what if getting in shape didnโ€™t have to be so complicated?

The idea was simple:

Stay around 55 to 65% of your maximum heart rate and your body will burn more fat, so youโ€™ll lose more body fat.

Sounds logical, right?

At lower intensities, your body does tend to use a greater percentage of fat for fuel.

But that doesnโ€™t automatically mean youโ€™ll lose more body fat.

๐—ช๐—ต๐˜†?

Because fat loss is driven primarily by your overall energy balance over time.

And when you increase exercise intensity, you can burn more total calories in less time.

High intensity can be a great tool for improving fitness and getting more work done in less time.

But it also creates more fatigue and requires more recovery.

Low intensity cardio has its place too.

Walking, cycling, incline treadmill work and other lower intensity activities can help you increase your daily energy expenditure without beating up your body.

This is one of the questions we get asked all the time when new clients start with us.

The short answer?

๐—ก๐—ผ๐˜ ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—น๐˜†.

Supplements can be useful, but they should supplement a good diet, not replace it.

๐Ÿฅฉ ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—™๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐˜

If you train regularly, getting enough protein is important for muscle repair, recovery and adaptation.

And you donโ€™t need a protein shake to achieve that.

Meat, fish, eggs, dairy, beans, lentils and soy can all provide plenty of protein.

๐Ÿฅค ๐—ฆ๐—ผ ๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐——๐—ผ ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ฆ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—™๐—ถ๐˜ ๐—œ๐—ป?

Think of protein powder as a convenience food.

If you struggle to get enough protein from meals, youโ€™re short on time, or you need something quick after training, a shake can be a simple way to increase your intake.

For people who train regularly, a useful general range is:

๐Ÿƒ Endurance training: ~1.2 to 1.6g/kg/day

๐Ÿ‹๏ธ Resistance training: ~1.6 to 2.0g/kg/day

For example, someone weighing 70kg and regularly doing resistance training might aim for around 112 to 140g of protein per day.

Donโ€™t overcomplicate it.

Your total daily protein intake matters most. Aim to spread your protein across the day and include a good source around your training when convenient.

You donโ€™t need a cupboard full of supplements to make progress.

Get the basics right first:

โœ… Eat enough
โœ… Get enough protein
โœ… Train consistently
โœ… Sleep and recover
โœ… Stay consistent

Then use supplements where they genuinely add value.

The honest answer?
Yes, it can.

Let me explain why.

Before we get into it, I want to be clear.
I donโ€™t have an issue with my clients going out, having a few drinks, enjoying dinner, or living their lives. Thatโ€™s normal. Thatโ€™s healthy.

As long as itโ€™s moderate, fits within their targets, and keeps them moving toward their goals.

Technically, you could eat chocolate fudge cake and ice cream and still hit your targets ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ˜‚
Not recommended, but it is possible.

Now, back to the real issue.

How โ€œjust one night outโ€ turns into a lost week

Letโ€™s say you head out for a nice meal and a few drinks. All good so far.

Then the drinks keep coming and you tell yourself, โ€œItโ€™s only one night, it wonโ€™t do much damage.โ€

Before you know it, the night ends with a Chinese takeaway ๐Ÿœ

You crawl into bed, sleep terribly, and wake up feeling awful.

Day 1. Hangover day!

๐Ÿ‘‰ You eat none of the foods you planned. Itโ€™s carbs on carbs on carbs
๐Ÿ‘‰ You barely drink any water
๐Ÿ‘‰ No workout, not even your steps ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™‚๏ธ

You have now massively overeaten for at least 24 hours.

Day 2

Sleep is slightly better, but you still feel off.
Sugar cravings are high.
The thought of training makes you feel sick ๐Ÿคฎ
So you donโ€™t train.

Day 3

You try to move a bit more, but junk food is still creeping in.
Cravings are still there.
You tell yourself, โ€œIโ€™ll start again tomorrow.โ€

Day 4

Finally, you feel normal again.

But by now, youโ€™ve wiped out a week, maybe two, of progress.

The takeaway

Getting fit and healthy is about balance.

You wonโ€™t see results by under-eating and over-training.
You also wonโ€™t see results by going off track for three days straight.

Enjoy your nights out.
Spend time with friends and family.
Live your life.

Just make sure it still fits your targets and keeps you moving forward, not backwards.

Thatโ€™s how you smash your goals ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ˜Š

I'm going to let you in on a little secret about getting into shape...

Or

For anything else worth achieving in life...

It's never about perfection! ๐Ÿšซ

You donโ€™t have to be perfect all the time, but you have to be consistent if you want to achieve!

My clients are sick of me saying this to them, but I keep repeating it because itโ€™s the truth.

Everyone wants to hear about the latest pill, potion, or a new piece of exercise equipment for the shortcut to a better body, but consistency trumps everything.

Now, donโ€™t be fooled. You can get quick results if you are consistent and put the work in. Just check out my clients' excellent results on my page if you donโ€™t believe me! ๐Ÿ’ช

Quite often, we get results in just 6-12 weeks that most won't get in a year. To be brutally honest, most won't ever see results like ours in a lifetime as they just spend an hour wandering around in the weights room alone or walking on the treadmill & checking emails before quitting after 2 weeks.

When you work with me, I will make sure you stay consistent meal to meal, day to day, week to week, month to month!

Of course, we will have downtime and relax here and there when we need to, but our program is all about results, and being consistent is the best way of achieving that!
