All of us are getting older, and the older we get, it becomes much more important that we carry on training.

We all got into training to change something, and I mean something we weren’t particularly happy with or even hated and were fed up with, or we wanted to get faster and stronger for sports, or we wanted to finally get into great shape after years of faddy diets and non-productive training.

With sustained effort, most of us manage to overcome obstacles that were holding us back in the past, and allow us to achieve a far brighter future through training smarter, using our time training better, and for the first time ever, treating our eating very seriously indeed.

We realise, or should realise by now that our bodies are not going to change without constant hard work, and trying things that constantly challenge us.

Hard work doesn’t mean beating the crap out of ourselves every day either! Many of us are not kids anymore, and it’s important not to train like one anymore.

After saying that though, all of us can train better than most people on the planet, if we get our bodies to continually adapt to an ever increasing workload, and reach an amazing level of health and fitness if we follow a few simple rules that are tried and tested.

Most of us will get to 70, 80, 90 and maybe 100 years of age one day, and decline is inevitable. THE SPEED OF DECLINE IS ENTIRELY UP TO YOU-remember this and you will think twice about the rubbish you may put into your mouth on a daily basis, be it food or drink! It may make you hit the gym a bit more often, and do a more complete workout, rather than making an excuse that you have to go early again instead of reaching your full potential and seeing I through.

Whatever your situation, training regularly and eating and drinking right will make a whole world of difference for the better.

However much progress you are making at the moment since the 12 week challenge started, it is entirely down to you.

Those moments of indecision when it comes to making the right or wrong choices on food will always be crucial to how much you improve.

If you are following the plan, there’s absolutely no doubt whatsoever that you are improving, and we have numerous cases already where individuals are beginning to see big changes.

All of you train hard, so why not make the most of that hard training by nourishing your body properly with the right foods and the right portion sizes.

We have gone into a lot of detail on what you should be doing, this is a one of chance for you to finally get it right and make monumental changes to your body.

We are at day 9 already, and whilst there are many of you doing amazing things, I really don’t want anyone left behind in this and saying they “can’t do it right now”, or “will do it next time”, or “I will adjust my eating slower as I have plenty of time”.

The opportunity is there for you right now to move better, eat better, recover better and set and achieve much higher goals that you have ever done before.

There is no time to put this thing off anymore, anyone can do it, we have an overwhelming amount of people who are successful now and will always encourage you.

30th july right now and well done if you are sticking to the plan, for those of you who are not there is still time to adjust your mindset and really pile back on this plan and really make it happen no excuses, no putting it off, no surrendering, no white flag-let’s do it right now and start feeling better and looking amazing in 10 weeks!!!!

I always get asked “what happens when I finish the 12 week challenge”?

I have to say it’s going to be very unlikely that you will go back to your old ways when you complete the 12th week, you will definitely be a changed person by then.

You will have a new version of what your everyday life is now.

Your cravings will have gone or mostly gone, you will put exercise near the top of your “must do’s” most days, you will have a new lifestyle, you will have an unbelievable amount of energy, your outlook and ambitions in life will look totally different, and you will tend to be an optimist instead of not being bothered about doing worthwhile things.

Plus you will have a new body with a much improved level of health, both inside and out!

The pain in your body will have long disappeared, because you will be moving so much better now in all ways.

Maybe in the past you used to go in the garden for a couple of hours and couldn’t move for a few days. Everyone has had that feeling. Because of the training we do, you will be used to many of those movements and your body should be ready for anything.

Whenever physical activity you may have done as a one off in the past will have made you feel too old and stiff, those days should now be well and truly over as you now embrace physical effort, and you will be very aware of the benefits you get from it.

I find those who set new goals after finishing their first 12 weeks absolutely fly through the second 12 weeks because of their new ability and most importantly, a newly found self-confidence and a much higher self-esteem.

Overcoming the first 12 weeks was the hard bit, developing healthy habits for the first time in years and finally discarding bad habits that were holding you back, both with your body and mind.

Ending your first 12 weeks is only the beginning and definitely not the end!

Behind a successful measurement, and especially a series of successful measurements, there lies a real story of human achievement that affects lives in real everyday ways.

If someone comes to us with a blood pressure problem for instance, the first thing we need to do is address that and not put that person in any more danger, and begin the process of trying to get that blood pressure down and set them up for sustainable long term health.

Many, many individuals come to us with bad backs, some severe problems, so the number one objective is to spot where the movement problem is, and work on a plan on how to get that person moving pain-free in the safest possible way.

We have a lot of people coming to us with diabetes, or likely to soon become diabetic, and this is usually a critical juncture because exercise and a sustainable long term approach to eating the right foods in the right quantities can have a massive positive effect on bringing these individuals back from being on medication every day, and totally change their lives for the better.

So while all the measurements with us are likely to be consistently good, the health issues that many of our members have overcome are the real most important story to them and myself.

The ability to move without pain, to not be on medication anymore, to suddenly have unbelievable amounts of energy in their lives, to have hope and ambition with their bodies and mind again can be overwhelming.

Of course we measure the physical transformation every step of the way, but the extremely positive overall health and mind transformation is not often mentioned.

To all of you who have made it work and turned every area of your life around in such a positive way, we salute way because those real life stories aren’t often mentioned like the official physical improvements are. Real life quality of life stories are always more powerful.

By the time people come to us, I am used to individuals saying that “nothing is working”, “ I will never get in shape” and “this is my last hope” or “I will never play at that level because I am too slow or not talented enough”!

A proven plan that will make you realise its best to throw away the weighing scales takes some getting used to, after all you have been told for years that the weighing scale is king? Changing people’s minds on this can be difficult to start with, but becomes easy once they see their clothes fitting better and eventually becoming way too big.

“Getting the body you want now” has become sort of a cliché and many times these false promises have led to several blind alleys? I think all of us can relate to those disappointments.

Do u dream of wearing the clothes you love on the hangers in shops, but never imagine that you will be actually wearing them in reality because you permanently avoid tighter fitting clothes because they “show the bumps” more?

This time it’s different.

You are going to be very fit, you will build lean muscle which is vital for your body to work better in all ways, your metabolism will be firing better than it ever has, your energy levels will go through the roof, you will sleep much better than you ever have, you will constantly raise your standards, you will receive compliments on your appearance and how healthy you are looking, and your performance levels will be huge and you’re never too old to turn back the clock.

We are not a short term gym, results take time and you had better be committed for the long term, this is what making a “healthy lifestyle change” is all about after all. You really need to change for life

Our biggest achievers have taken months and years more like to look and perform that good.

They are always on hand to learn off and inspire you, we are all about getting fit and healthy the right way, no over the top pain that lasts for days, no stress on joints, no faddy diets that often uses dangerous advice that can wreck your health, no feeling sick of dizziness during/after sessions and putting together sessions that reflect YOUR ability and nobody else’s!
