Melissa knows, and she was kind enough to share what she thinks of us:

"Jim is a great PT who succeeds in making my individual training sessions entertaining and fun as well as effective, as he knows my boredom threshold is low. Online classes are testing enough to get your heart rate up to a decent level."

Testing enough, and never dull. That's the bar, and Melissa set it 🙌

A class you look forward to is the one you're still doing in March. Come and see if she's right. All for only £12.99 per month.

No persuasion needed here - grow your own onions to make sure you cry!👌🧅🙌

Check out the latest episode of the ‘Jim’s Gym -Inspiring Movement’ podcast with the incredible gardener and all-round amazing human, Izwe, from the popular Instagram account: for.plantssake ❤️

We talk about why so many of us feel like machines chasing the £, why the garden is the antidote, what to
plant this autumn and the three things everyone should grow just once 🤩

We're not expecting a marathon! Thirty minutes a day, in ten-minute blocks, is a great start 👍

Ten before the kettle boils. Ten at lunch. Ten when you remember. It all counts, and your body isn't checking whether you did it in one go.

When that feels ordinary, stretch one of the blocks. Then add a day. One thing at a time and you just keep getting stronger. Change the lot at once and you'll be going downstairs backwards like a crab by Wednesday.

15+ live classes a week and over 1,000 on demand, plenty of them shorter than you'd think. Come and grab ten minutes.

All for only £12.99 per month.

Imagine your mate's just walked off with your umbrella in the rain. You're going fast enough to catch them, but not so fast you can't shout their name.

That's the sweet spot for cardio, right there.

Talk, but don't sing. Warm, puffing, definitely sweating. That's the good bit, not the bit to avoid 💪

Row's Zumba will have you there in about four minutes, umbrella or no umbrella!
Come and find your pace...

🤩 TOMORROW 🤩

When nature was working, we worked. When nature rested, we rested. 🌱

So says Izwe, the incredible gardener and all-round amazing human behind the hugely popular 'for.plantssake' Instagram account, and my guest on tomorrow's podcast episode! We talk gardening, burnout, chasing the pound, and getting back to the pace we were built for. The conversation has stayed with me long after it finished, and I know you will be moved by it ❤️

Hear the full chat from 10.30am tomorrow, wherever you get your podcasts 👏 Don't forget to like and subscribe!

Hearts like to be challenged. Challenge them well, and they're far less likely to attack you. That's not just a good line, either. Researchers followed 274 people who already had heart disease, average age 72, for five years. The ones who trained had around 27 to 28% cardiovascular events. The ones who didn't had 38.2%.

Not a single cardiac event in a session across the whole five years.

Use the engine. It's safer than sparing it.

Got a heart condition? Quick word with your GP first, then come and join in 👍

If your body had an accelerator, you should still be putting your foot down, no matter your age 💪🚗

A car likes a run-out. It wants a rev now and then. What it does not want is a life of idling down to the shops and back.

So we'll push you as hard as you fancy being pushed, from wherever you're starting. No cotton wool, and nobody made an Olympic bodybuilder on day one.

This week: where the gears are, and how good it feels to find them.

It's never too late!
