Hope keeps us going, and pessimism keeps us drowning in despair, we must keep making a choice.

We must always have hope, because that’s what always keeps us going, no matter how much pessimism threatens to overtake our lives.

Hope encourages us to take action today, when perhaps we wouldn’t have. We tend to do things when we think there may be a strong chance of a good payoff for taking action and making the effort.

Hope makes us do a workout, when there maybe others in our lives are saying “what’s the point”! We know what works best for us.

Hope makes shop for good healthy food, when some of our friends are living on takeaways and processed foods. We know how much better our body performs on quality food as fuel.

Hope makes us not drink in the week especially, when some of our friends may encourage us to think its the only way to avoid stress. We know alcohol only adds to stress, adds to anxiety levels and worry, and solves nothing. There’s a time and a place, and drinking in the week is a bad habit to get into end of story.

Hope is essential because it keeps our sense of purpose strong, and keeps us from quitting when obstacles come up from time to time, stay hopeful, keep taking action and be determined to stay the course no matter what. 

Great start at the new programme today, there was a lot to take in but everyone that came in approached the task with a fantastic attitude. I will shout a lot first day as we have a lot to learn and absorb, but it’s all for the good of the collective at the gym.

Yes you will be stiff tomorrow, yes you will struggle at times, but we are exactly the gym that does NOT go through the motions and 100% of the time there’s a lot more than you think going on at any one time..

If you have started to see strange looking protocols on the gym, they are recovery protocols for individuals at the gym going through their OWN programme due to their needs to recover from ailments and often serious injury, please understand that, and each stage of their recovery is important.

Here’s the beauty of the gym, we have ALL SORTS of people at the gym each on their own journey, at very different stages and all sorts of different abilities.

The MAIN point is that we help EVERYONE reach their goals and to do that takes many thought processes going on at the same time, many often decided when one path doesn’t work, and we instantly have to come up with another solution that WILL work.

There is always a plan in pace, but we have to read and react when challenges arise, being willing to try another way when the path we thought would work hits a roadblock.

Monday is off to a strong start, be prepared to work and keep rising to the huge challenges that await you.
