I have had to make this observation on the week. As a gym, we lifted ourselves to a completely new level in all ways.

The classes were all next level stuff.

First you have to realise what Emma Williams puts into her classes who don’t know her. She works a demanding job and career at the local college, very stressful in these times as you would imagine.

She works outside of this too and is an amazing master hair stylist. Then she raises a family which on its own is very demanding.

Then she researches new classes all the time, and wants with all her heart the sessions to do incredibly well. Lots of you have joined her class and loved it, and I encourage you all to give it a go as you will never regret it ,its a really nice mix for all of you to have a different teacher and experience different styles of teaching which can only be good..

Just wanted to know the unseen work that she continuously puts in, she doesn’t show up and just do it, that would be impossible to put the standard of workouts she teaches every time. We congratulate her on her immense commitment and the great people she teaches and continually develops.

Then inside the gym, we have kept the standard high with social distancing, spraying everything down after us with chlorine, and I know I am a pain sometimes but I will never be shy in telling anyone that they need to space out, and I will continue to do that every day and every week if I see something not working right. That’s my promise. My wife nicola is continually managing the gym now inside every morning as I can’t be in two places at once, this was a role that was much needed so we can watch everyone is doing everything safely inside, and we can help and encourage everyone all of the time.

The classes I got through were very demanding too. I know I asked a lot out of you, but you are very demanding audience too, and I LOVE THAT, because it pushes me to become continuously better, so I thank you for demanding more out of me continuously, and I love that challenge and it makes us over all a better gym every single week.

Finally, I appreciate all of you coming because without you we wouldn’t have a great gym and such a positive environment. Our people are what makes us and I know you want to keep shooting for the stars just as much as we do.

Enjoy the weekend, stay active and enjoy our beautiful scenery on your bike, walking, running, hiking or whatever it is, and be sure that monday will definitely have something new and challenging to test you to new heights!!!

Lots of families at the gym, probably an all time high right now.

Here’s how the family thing works in a big way. 

The parent training is a great example to the child, they watch you in everything you do, and what a great example you are to them.

Then the child training makes a big difference to their development. Learning coronation, agility, strength, endurance, speed and working as a team is transformational.

If your child does sports for example, it will transform their sporting performance over time, it really is a massive head start for them, and makes the difference between enjoying their game and being able to show their skills because they are not tired all the time and not walking around the field.

When you are fitter everything is much more fun.

When the grandmother trains that really is the ultimate leadership example. 

If you are thinking you are too old, too overweight, don’t have enough time, don’t think you can do it, then you telling yourself LIES and the WRONG story.

I have NEVER met anyone who can’t get out of pain, can’t get more mobile, can’t get more positive and more purpose in their life AS LONG as they are willing to commit to 3 times a week exercise, again don’t let anyone talk you out of a great future by saying you can’t or shouldn’t do it.

Always look at the person writing you off, do they have your best interests at heart or are they showing that THEY don’t have the get up and go and courage to get going themselves.

For ALL the families at our gym, WE SALUTE YOU because you are contributing to an incredibly positive environment at our gym!!!

There are two different types of people in life, and most of you can relate to both and their impact in your life.

We are blessed to have so many “encouragers” at our gym. 

I really believe if you push people positively to do a little bit better, over time the change can be stratospheric and we are very lucky to have so many great people who support us in this vision. 

When a member is struggling or feeling down, they need positivity, empathy and encouragement and can often make all the difference to make them show up and try harder consistently, which over time is life-changing.

Then in life you will have some people who will be keen to try and “blow out your candle” and delight in it initially. Little do they know that their very own candle and brightness will not shine brighter because of it.

If you give out “gifts” of negativity, jealousy and.bitterness, then those “gifts” only belong to you, if the people you aim to give them to do not accept them, the person giving out negativity actually owns them and are stuck with them and it will lead to a miserable life.

We passed another milestone this week since lockdown of having done 504 classes since lockdown. When we first started back, many said they wouldn’t last, that many classes a day wasn’t possible, or that it would be too wet, too cold, too hot, too hard, or too “anything” not to work.

We looked for reasons why it COULD work, and are always looking to find solutions instead of problems. Life always works better when you live with hope, possibility and opportunity every day.

Both types of people mentioned can absolutely use as rocket fuel for our progress, motivation and determination. Its always vital to have people in your corner who you can prove RIGHT for their belief in you, but it’s always good to have people you can prove wrong too, sometimes we can work even harder when someone doubts we can do great things and scale the heights in life.

Being in business, every day is a winding road and you get to see the big picture on what works and what doesn’t.

You see who is benefiting your business by just being there every day and lifting everyone up through their positivity, those types you need to keep inviting in.

Then you have those who are energy vampires, those who are intent on sucking the life out of everyone, who need to go and find their own kind somewhere else, if they don’t want to change and hop on your bus.

The trick is to embrace and love those who add positivity, who give everything to being better and do everything you can for them, and pick up all of those who are struggling with doubt, self-esteem, self-confidence and build them up so they can indeed do incredible things too, everyone has incredible talent within, I see our job in life as bringing that magic out and seeing them flourish, NOTHING makes me happier than that. 

If do your best for everyone all of the time, you serve them really well and deeply care how well they come on, then real life transformations can occur regularly, and going into your gym or business becomes a truly magical experience each and every day.
