Raising your standards and going all the way is a must when you start our programme. The habits we recommend will literally transform your life in a very positive way.

If we don’t take charge of our lives, sometimes our lives take charge of us in a negative way, so we must make the most of our opportunities while we have them right now.

If we don’t take action soon then time drifts away from us, then we leave it another week, another month, another year, and before we know it, that time is gone and our great opportunities gone with it.

Actions always have consequences. Do good things for people and our bodies, and good things are likely to happen for you in all ways.

Personal accountability is vital. Keep the promises you made to yourself. Most of us forget this, not keeping to what we promised. We have all the information to us every day, yet many of us try a roundabout way of doing this.

It’s easy to think we can out-train a bad diet, many of us have tried to cheat the system of health at one time or another. When we buckle down to the fact that healthy food consumed regularly and pretty much most of the time actually works, then our whole life changes.

We all have weaknesses, and this is why we discuss them every day on here. It’s only by discussing what we do wrong, that we get the opportunity to do things the right way.

Your hopes, dreams and desires rely totally on you being healthy, energetic and positive, and practising the daily rituals to achieve this are absolutely vital.

Leave yourself no other option but doing your best every day, moving closer to your ultimate goals every day, and staying on a positive path no matter what life throws at you and tries to throw you off course.

Realise it’s all within you, all of you have to do is dig deep every day and keep making it happen!

Thanks for a great morning. Today emphasised what we do more than any other morning. Every single one of you is a different case, and although we send out programmes for you and you regularly get a new one, each of you needs a little twist on each programme.

If you have a knee replacement, you need taken care of, but you also need to be taken to a whole new level too. You want constant progressions no matter what, not a sheet of exercises which you often will get from a hospital that offer no progressions or support. You need tried and tested exercises to strengthen your knee, and ones to become a much better athlete too.

If you have had a tough time in any area of your life, you need bucking up, pushing and lifting up at times, we need to be there at all times to do that. Many of you struggle at the gym more in the mind than in your bodies, we are very aware of that, and we don’t treat everyone as if they are perfect, we all need a leg up regularly.

If you are reaching to another level or highest level of sport, you need to know what works, what you need to do to get there and sometimes you need to be really pushed through the toughest of times, to get your performance up to the highest level, exactly where you need to be. Train harder than anyone else, and the way you play the game will transformational.

If you are on blood pressure medication, you need to exercise well and eat right for you to improve your health, we are here to constantly push you through and remind you of that.

If you have just had a baby, many of you have, you need us to guide you through those first difficult few weeks and months after giving birth. You need to keep doing the safe and right thing to get you back to full recovery.

We are above all a full teaching and coaching 100% of the time gym, this is highly important to us and we know it is to you, and it’s the only way you’re going to continue to get outstanding results. Thanks for coming.

We all see the world differently. We all have our version of events and we all have different expectations out of life.

If we are unhappy with those views or the world as we see it, it’s pretty hard to change the world, but we can definitely change the way we see OUR world if WE change.

If our view of being healthy and fit is a short term and shallow approach of going on the latest fad diet, and going on some kamikaze exercise programme for a week or so, and hoping for the best, then there’s nothing anyone can do until you change your approach to getting healthy, and start thinking long term, however unfashionable it may be to you. YOU need to change first.

As you know, we have many, many members start with knee replacements, back surgery and after having hip replacements. After that trauma, you can see the world through two points of view.

You can either accept you won’t be able to walk properly or exercise again, or you can go through proper rehab and actively get stronger, and fight for your mobility again.

Those two versions of how the world looks are completely different. If you haven’t much mobility, then life becomes a smaller place and you are unlikely to enjoy the unbelievable joys that full mobility will bring into your life again.

If you have full or nearly full mobility back, then the world becomes huge again for you to sample, and create fresh new experiences in.

Most of us are taught as kids not to dream too big, not to do anything that rattles any cages, never do something that will cause “people to talk”, we are taught to fit into a tight criteria that usually keeps other people happy.

Being independent, following your own true path, reviving the ambitions you thought were dead and buried years ago, clearing the negative influences out of your life, will make YOU see the world differently and very likely lead to a whole new set of outcomes in your life that will be much more fulfilling and satisfying. This is the best way to change your world.

Change never really happens unless YOU are totally willing to change and accept responsibility for your actions.

Getting through endless diets won’t change a thing ultimately because you’re not changing the root cause why you are not eating well. You have to accept the fact that you need to commit to healthy eating and make it a true lifestyle change. You need to discover your deep down reasons why you want to be healthy and in decent physical condition, and the positive impact that has on your life.

You have to accept that a couple of weeks of exercise or a couple of months of exercise even won’t make the long term difference you really want and need. You need to take responsibility for making the time to exercise and scheduling it in your life.

If you don’t take responsibility, you will “tell yourself stories” why things aren’t working for you. I couldn’t make the gym because i “didn’t have time, couldn’t sustain the effort, i was too tired all the time, the programme didn’t work for me (even though you may not have turned up for it anywhere near as often as you should)”.

Taking responsibility means you take full control of your future.

Three times a week training shouldn’t be beyond anyone, even if you have only half hour each time.

Nobody forces you to go down the crisps and chocolate aisle in the supermarket? There’s no magic magnet in there dragging you down there!

Taking full responsibility means that you are taking “chance”, “hope for the best” and “luck” out of the equation. You know what you have to do, you know when you exercise and eat right, great things happen, all you need to do is show consistency, show up regular and finally get the long term results you were capable of all along.

Taking responsibility means telling the truth to yourself, leading by example from now on and making yourself accountable for everything you do. This will create a no fail environment and take you exactly to where you want to go and a whole lot more again.

Chasing down your goals, staying on your OWN path no matter what, no getting sidetracked is a lot harder than it sounds and we know it!

Some will try to put you off, stop you working so hard and drag you from doing the things you need to do.

We always focus on results but you have to realise not everyone will applaud you on your journey as you get more and more successful.

A famous Buddha story stuck with me the first time i heard it many years ago.

An angry, hateful young man travelled many, many miles to visit Buddha not really believing he was this forgiving, decent, unflappable and of generous character, so he decided to put him to the test.

Once he arrived to the town and residence of Buddha, he started unleashing all the swear words you could imagine, wild accusations, and all the hate and bitterness towards Buddha you could imagine, questioning everything he stood for.

Buddha was indeed unflappable and calm and just listened whilst the man continued his rage for a considerable period of time.

The man asked Buddha what he had to say?

Buddha responded by asking the man “if someone doesn’t accept a gift he is offered, then who does the gift belong”?

The man responded “i guess the gift belongs to the person giving it”.

The angry man realised he would be stuck with the hate, bitterness, jealousy he threw at Buddha and sadly realised what he was stuck with then until he changed his ways.

As you improve and continuously reach brand new levels of achievement, stay on your very positive path, realise that hard work and consistency does indeed bring great rewards, and make sure you hang out with positive people who will only build you up, instead of constantly trying to tear you down.
