In 24 days, I will be running London Marathon for the first time. I was very fortunate to get a ballot place but I am still running for charity because, well, why not? My fitness work in care homes has given me a lot of exposure to dementia sufferers and so it made perfect sense to raise money for Dementia UK. Link below if you’d like to sponsor me.

I’m not a natural runner, the training continues to be gruelling and my 49-year-old knees and ankles don’t always love me. But I have a strong engine from keeping myself moving and lifting weights. What we do at The Power Plant keeps me fit for life. And will keep me going for 26 miles very soon!

How is your FEBRUARY CHALLENGE going?
Lunch had shallots🧅, peppers🫑, sun-dried tomatoes🍅 and spinach🌱 so we’re already well on our way to hitting 5x fruit/veg. (Had a kiwi 🥝 with breakfast, too.)

A quick 10 pages while we eat and then out for a walk.

How are you getting on?
What are you eating? 🥦

It will be FEBRUARY next week!!

We have deliberately not jumped on the January fitness bandwagon of making people feel bad about what they ate/drank over the Christmas period. We are not here for quick fixes or to make people feel guilty. We want people MOVING and EATING right to be fit and healthy for living LIFE.

SO WE HAVE A CHALLENGE.
5...10...15

Every day.
It's very simple.
5 fruits and veg every day will get you thinking about the food you put in your body.
10 minutes reading for your mindfulness, to take a step away from screens and people. (You could always change this to 10 pages.)
15 minutes of walking to keep you moving and mobile. This should be EXTRA to what you normally do. (Take a friend with you.)

That's it. We'll be checking in each day with updates.
WHO'S IN?!?!?!?!

It's time.
It's been a bit of a wet and miserable week. But the Power Plant members keep turning up and keep moving.
The great news is that the darkest part of the year is officially OVER. We've stayed positive, we've kept the workouts varied and we've shown we are made of tougher stuff.

Whatever the weather, whatever the day, our POWER PLANT COMMUNITY are there, working hard.
They show up, lift each other up, and sometimes they don't shut up. But they make it fun EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Come and join the energy.
DM us "ENERGISE" for more info.

Carrie (49) had never stayed with a trainer for longer than a year. She'd tried a little of everything. She started with the 9:30 ENERGISE classes (because the timing works well with the school run). She still attends two classes each week but has added in a PT session, too. Now, she is heading towards 50 in the best shape of her life. Confident and strong with energy for living. (She is approaching her 3rd year at The Power Plant.)

At the start of a new year, it's easy to get caught up in fad diet trends and caught out by cheap gym memberships.
At THE POWER PLANT, it's Veganuary ALL YEAR. We don't eat any animal products. We do it to be healthy, of course, but we also do it to not contribute to cruelty in the world.
It's not boring, either. And we hope you'll try some of the recipes that we post.

When it comes to what a person eats, we believe that you should find what works for YOU. The key is simplicity and consistency.

Whether you are trying to lose weight or maintain, or add some variety, we are here to help you without pushing an agenda. (You have probably seen a lot of videos that tell you EXACTLY what you should and shouldn't be putting into your body. *rolls eyes.)

DM us 'NUTRITION' if you need help with weight loss or simply keep an eye out for our recipes if you are looking for new ideas.

Hormonal changes affect recovery.
More isn't better. BETTER IS BETTER.

Adequate REST, SLEEP and EXERCISE VARIATION will improve your long-term outcomes.
Progression is strategic, not aggressive.
DM "PT" to find out more about what we can do to help you achieve your goals safely and effectively.
