“PJM Fitness announcement”.
I have officially closed my personal training business for the foreseeable future and currently adapting my services for my clients to Online Coaching.
I feel throughout these strange times we are living through, this is a real life pandemic that we do not know it’s full extent yet. Nobody knows which way this is going but I do know we are all on high ALERT. So I have decided to adapt my business, I would not like to put anyone at extra risk by continuing on training in the gym. It just wouldn’t be fair to all parties. Not until we figure out what way this is going and how to deal with it.
I believe everybody has a role to play in this. When I sit back and think about it, I am a healthy and fit young man but that doesn’t stop me passing it onto someone body else. We all have family members/friends/loved ones with some sort of condition or are in the elder age bracket and I think it would be selfish if we all didn’t play our part throughout this pandemic. This is a real moment we have to stop and think of others and not just about ourselves.
I don’t want everyone to go into panic mode and feel like this is the end of the world, instead let’s look at how we can each adapt our lives,stay safe/protect others and pull the positives from it.
Let’s look at what we can control,
🔹Exercise - we can increase our activity (more outdoor running,homework’s)
🔸Nutrition - keeping on top of your nutrition and on track with your required calorie allowance, per your goals. (This is a time we are eating 💯 from home,no canteen no deli, we have total control of what we are eating. let’s buy the right options)
🔹Hydration- keeping topped up.
🔸Sleep- making sure you meet your daily sleep requirements.
🔹Stress- even with the Covid-19 stress, adapting to working from home etc, stress can increase as you daily routine is now up in the air. Managing stress by taking deep breaths, small walks around the house, home workouts, morning/lunch/evening time jogs are all ways to help reduce stress but it is a big one to mange over the next few weeks.
All this being said I am very sad to have to close my doors to my clients,
