Keri McKibbin Personal Training

We remember our school days as days that we didn’t have a care in the world. Usually then after that, we get a job, have responsibilities and looking after ourselves financially, making sure we have a roof over our heads and having food on the table became our “must do’s”.

When we were kids, we would be out on our bikes, walking everywhere and doing anything we wanted.

Years of responsibilities usually mean we move less, we look after ourselves physically less and “do what we have to do”.

Then one day, we realise we ache in our knees, our backs, our hips and we are slower to do pretty much everything.

This means our battles have begun and we either keep fighting it daily, or we give into it, kind of like the weeds take over our garden and never do anything about it, what’s left is one big mess that we can’t be bothered to clear up.

From training at the gym, we know we can get rid of the weeds by exercising more and doing it the RIGHT way.

We need to support that by eating right, boosting our immune system that protects us from ill health and disease.

This is not a fight you are alone with, we all go through it, we all have to fight, we all have to do the right things at least 80% of the time, we all need to stay in the game, make progress our daily word so we don’t REGRESS or our health goes downhill fast.

Our battle is very winnable, our health can be outstanding and exercise can be the very best investment we will ever make, science is on our side, tried and tested ways to keep our health at a very high level, to have less aches, to have more energy and live much more optimism because we prove it every single day at the gym that quality of life starts here along with great mental health.

Keep showing up, keep yourself young and keep your sense of purpose in life stronger than ever.

“WE not me” culture.

Circumstances dictated that I left a one on one culture when it was all I did a long time ago, I still do it but nowhere near in the numbers I used to do..

Running a gym I see as still training individuals, because that’s still the main thing we do, Getting as many individuals as possible performing better is what we do and it gives me great satisfaction.

Given EQUAL amount of time to everyone to achieve this is key, and I can’t do it any other way and it’s done with full transparency, 

EVERYONE needs help, and our goal is to offer better and better service and knowledge, as most of you have different needs and difficulties that need sorting out once and for all.

Understanding that when you come to our gym it’s going to be a fully immersive experience is important.

If you have one issue with your movement and you don’t sort it out at the start of your journey, that issue will only become bigger. 

There will be times when some people need more help than others, but the intent will always be to help EVERYONE, and it’s important for everyone to buy into that philosophy. 

It’s tough to think how many physical conditions we treat in one evening or morning, but we keep pulling it off. This works particularly well when everyone is onboard, nobody is selfish for their own needs, knowing that a maximum one minute later, I will be with them and frequently I will avoid going to the toilet even until everyone is served and I can spare 30 seconds or so.

People who come from other places tell us all the time they are used to zero help or care.

It’s all about WE, and never about “ME”, its about being fully inclusive and helping EVERYBODY..
