May is Mental Health Awareness Month đ§
Something I donât talk about enough openly. Iâve struggled with my own mental health, and I still do at times. Itâs part of the reason I do what I do.
Training changed things for me. Not overnight, and not in a âgym fixes everythingâ way but having something to show up for, a goal to chase, and people around me who got it, that mattered. It still does. I wouldnât have got my dream job or competed at the level I have without that drive.
As a coach, I see it every week. Clients walk in carrying stuff they havenât told anyone about. An hour later they leave a bit lighter. Thatâs not the programme thatâs the act of showing up, moving your body, and being around people who want you to do well.
If youâve been thinking about trying something new, a PT session, a Strong class, lifting for the first time, this is your sign. You donât need to be âfit enoughâ first. You donât need a plan. You just need to walk in.
The gym and training is definitely my outlet and I believe has saved my life a few times.
And if youâre struggling and not ready for any of that yet my inbox is open. No coaching pitch, no pressure. Just someone whoâll listen.
Youâre not on your own. đđ§Ą
