If you're a parent who sent the kids back to school, then last week likely went astray on you?

And like many of my clients who have checked in, you might be feeling a bit guilty because your exercise wasn’t as good, you fell back into old habits of snacking, your food went off track, and everything felt a bit all over the place.

Well, it’s kind of normal.

In the 12 years I’ve been doing this, the last week of August and first week of September tend to be the worst weeks of the year for gyms.

You’re cramming in last minute day trips and summer bits, then you’ve to tackle the chaos of back to school runs, lunches, collections, and after school activities.

So it can easily throw the routine you love off track.

But there’s no point beating yourself up over it, because this week should bring a bit more routine and normality.

Take this week one day at a time. Aim to keep 80% on track, and have that 20% allowance if needed so you don’t feel like a failure.

Chain as many “good” days as possible and before you know it, you’ll have a solid week done.

And next weekend, you’ll be happy out because you had a successful week and realise that last week was a normal blip thanks to schools being back.

What will the Community Classes be like?

The main thing we want to bring to the classes are the tried-and-tested methods that help you get stronger, shape up, and feel a difference.

The ones that really move the needle instead of just looking good.

We'll use a variation of squats, deadlifts and single leg work to tone and strengthen the lower body, dumbbell work and pushups for the upper body and arms...

And we will have plenty of fun ways to tackle the core too!

Plus, we'll have variety as the weeks go by. Some sessions, we'll finish out with circuits for some cardio effect, other times we will focus more on direct muscle work so ye all look like rides next summer.

And unless Heather puts them in, we won't be making you do burpees either!

Mainly because we're not interested in making you feel tired for the sake of it - we want to help you exercise the smart way so you look, feel, and move better in daily life.

So the workouts will primarily focus around dumbbells, benches, and slam balls to give you a full-body workout in 45 minutes.

I already have the equipment list gone into Blk Box Fitness, so I'm hoping to get all that ordered in the next few days and arrange delivery.

And fingers crossed, we should have confirmation of days, times, and a start date this week too!

Will be back with all the details as soon as possible.

Cheers!

👋 Say Hello To Heather, Your Community Class Coach

Many of you will know Heather as the friendly face in the pharmacy up there beside Super Valu.

But it’s only right to give her a proper introduction.

Heather is just about to go into Year 4 of her Health Science and Physical Activity studies down in ATU Sligo.

When she’s not studying or working, she’s down kicking ball for Boyle Ladies GAA (while also having the fastest feet the town of Boyle has ever seen on a pitch).

Between college and football, it’s fair to say Heather is stone mad into her fitness, and has been doing her own training here in StrongLife over the last 3 years, so she knows the ins and outs of what we want to bring to the classes.

And knowing how nice of a person and reliable she is, it was a no-brainer to get her involved to run the new Community Classes.

So as soon as I ran the idea by her back in February, she was straight onto it and has spent the summer completing her Gym Instruction qualification, while also prepping and planning so we hit the ground running.

We’re a lot closer to being able to announce days and times, but just need to wait a little longer for all to click into place to do so.

But we have had a massive response to the announcement already, and 30 people have their names down on the waitlist.

So, if you’d like to stick your name down to get first dibs when we open up spaces, stick your details into this form:

https://forms.gle/p8YZ3nwq2fLqZnxj8

We’ll give you a shout as soon as we get the green light!

Cheers!

P.s. I’m still working on the over 60s project. All going well, I’ll be announcing that in the next 2 weeks.

Hi everyone,

On behalf of myself and Heather, I just want to say a big thank you for such a positive response to our Community Classes.

We've still a lot of work to get done to get all up and running, but all the positive messages and chats around town all weekend have given us a great buzz to get all done.

We'll be back as soon as possible with more info on days/times, etc.

And I'll do a post during the week to outline what the classes will be based around.

Oh, and of course, to give you the full introduction to Heather too!

Cheers!

Sunday morning supporting Boyle Ladies.

And to keep tabs on the few girls who have been doing their strength training here the last few months.

Now that we're into Championship, it's good to see how everyone does and to suss out who needs deload sessions to stay fresh and sharp.

🏋️Community Classes are coming this September!🏋️

I’m delighted to announce that we will be launching Community Fitness Classes in Boyle Celtic’s brand new community hub this coming September.

And the classes will be run by none other than Heather Kerins.

The Community Classes will be perfect for parents dropping the kids off to training who struggle to find time for themselves.

And for the Boyle community who are looking for challenging, but manageable workouts to help you get stronger, fitter, and tone up…without the intimidating gym environment.

(Also - since it’s a community hub, we will keep it to a limited number of classes so others can avail of the facility)

The Boyle Celtic crew are flat out getting the facility finished, so we can’t announce all the details just yet…

But if that already sounds ideal for you, then pop your details into this short form so you’re first to hear when we’re ready to kick off:

https://forms.gle/XKALLw8PpzK7skDU6

We’ll be back with more info soon,

Colm & Heather

P.s. I also have something in the pipeline for life-experienced people (60+) who want to stay strong, mobile, and independent.

I’ll announce that in the near future

I'll let you in on a secret.

If you ever want me to immediately increase the intensity of your PT session...

Then turn up wearing Mayo gear like these two chancers 😂

An extra 5kg was added to all their exercises 😂

To be fair, I did put in for it!

I can't say too much just yet.

But...I've been working on a new project the last few months.

And all going to plan, I'll get to fill you in on it next week.

It'll definitely be something fun and exciting for all involved!

So keep an eye out next weekend 👀
