‼️Fitness is hard.
Never mind hard to sell.

So many crap analogies we could use as examples…You go fragrance shopping and you buy the scent you love, usually you’ll quite like the bottle or packaging too.

You’ll like it even more when you get compliments on wearing it.
Every spray. It always smells the same and the bottle shape doesn’t change over time. Maybe it becomes your signature fragrance. You’ll always buy a bottle or get it gifted from close relatives who know it’s a good gift that you’ll enjoy.
Even if you go off it - you can sell it on Vinted! Can’t go wrong. Money well spent….

Fitness meanwhile. You’re paying for a service that YOU still have to work at. You can’t just select the physique shape or fitness/skill level you want, then swap or upgrade it as your aspirations change.

You have to invest your time, energy, effort and some money into your fitness. Even with a structured, progressive program and a supportive trainer and peers/friends, you have to fu***ng graft.

Even then, the product (*you’re the product) may not look or feel anything like what you expect after months of “expenditure”.

And. If you don’t keep investing in the product (* yep, you’re the product) it will soon lose whatever you have invested so far.

✨ BUT…if you do keep investing in it (YOU), it’s the only investment with a GUARANTEED return. DO THE WORK. Keep going.✨

Earlier today I was thinking I love Autumn 🍂🍁. Then I thought- wow, another season that’s flying by for WIP.

We have some real ups and downs as a small business, but also some amazing times with the people who train with us. Balance, hey? ⚖️😰🧘🏼‍♀️

Running a small business isn’t easy. In fact, it’s way more challenging than my corporate job EVER was — and a hell of a lot less financially rewarding! 💸 😂

But the different people I get to spend time with make it worth it. 💯

We have our core gang — our “glue”, so to speak — and we’ve had others who have been and gone. And that’s totally normal through the revolving door of fitness, as Christian Dale often reminds me.

There have been several times when we’ve thought, enough is enough. Times when we’ve been ready to call WIP quits.

But then we choose to keep going.

Because: just because you love doing something, doesn’t mean it will ever be easy.

A bit like fitness, really. 😉

The support we’ve had over the last 5 years has been amazing, and I’m incredibly grateful.

So I’ll keep showing up — and I hope you will too. I’ll keep motivating you to chip away at your goals, have fun, work hard and, sometimes, be pushed right to your limit. 💪🏼

⭐️ And yes, I know I can be harsh on occasion… I don’t scream or shout (often!). I try to display my passion by leading by example, cueing you when needed, celebrating your wins 🙌 and showing disappointment when needed… IYKYK. 🙊 Because, if fitness was easy, everyone 🌍 would be fit.

So, thank you to each and every one of you for your loyalty, your trust, your friendship — and for putting up with me (see ⭐️ above).

Here’s to more seasons of showing up, putting in the work, having a laugh and keeping each other going. ❤️

Alexandra — fitness enthusiast and trainer first. Businesswoman… haha, never. 🙊

✨ Thanks Nath.

I'd recommend WIP without hesitation.

I can't speak highly enough of WIP Fitness.

Alex's sessions are thoughtfully structured for real progression, and l've felt the benefit of that firsthand over the last few years. Her dedication to the gym and its members really shows.

There's a great mix of strength and cardio, and while the sessions can push you to the limit, they're always adaptable to any fitness level. It's a genuinely welcoming and encouraging atmosphere.

Deadlifts are one of the most powerful full-body exercises you can do to build raw strength. Working multiple muscle groups simultaneously makes them one of the most effective movements for building overall strength, power, and muscle mass.

Safe lifts 🫡.
Hinge at the Hips: Push your hips back instead of squatting the weight down.
Keep a Flat Back: Do not let your spine round when you pull.
Leave the EGO: Start with a light weight, nail the form and add weight slowly as your muscles adapt.
