Proud of everyone at the gym this week, and the honesty you all show in your efforts.
It would be easy to tell yourself “stories” why you aren’t so successful as you had hoped, but the honesty you train with and your hopes and aspirations tell the real story and sincerely thank you for your efforts..
Weight training is at the heart of what we do for example. If you are a woman, you WILL NOT get bigger with weights, that’s very obvious from our transformation pictures and the many who have never had their photo on. We are proud you are getting a lot stronger, and getting smaller the same time whilst looking even more feminine.
The only way you get bigger with weights is eating TOO MUCH EMPTY CALORIE foods and drinks, this is where the honesty part needs to come in. EATING well and training hard goes hand in hand, there’s no other way.
If you want to become a better runner, take yourself out of your comfort zone and run a bit more. Dan took a lot of you out Tuesday, and although some of you consider yourself not runners, many of you now ARE good runners through practice and I commend you on that effort.
Don’t tell yourself a story please that you can’t do it, because you can. I won’t hear otherwise.
We are a transparent gym valuing honesty and your deep down efforts to not only overcome your body, but your mind too. Don’t let your mind make you tell stories which lead to excuses that won’t wash with us because we want the very best for you and make you proud of yourself. Unfortunately, this involves discomfort until you get it right.
You are entirely capable of great things, whether its running, lifting tyres and smashing some weights in the gym-YOU CAN DO IT ALL, we have overwhelming proof you can.
Be your best, put any negativity behind you and strive to be incredible.

Good morning on a terribly wet morning!!!
Today, I take FULL responsibility for your progress as as long as you do a couple of things.
Show up 3 times a week, like you said when you started.
There are many commitments you have during the day I know, but apart from family and kids, which ONE is more important than your health? ANOTHER needless meeting after work? Which one is more important that you can’t show up for half hour even? We can get a LOT out of you 3 times a week.
Try eating a little better. Accept your eating and drinking habits have to change gradually if you want true success AND have the energy to power you through ever increasing workouts. Accept you ARE what you eat. I take FULL responsibility if you just make a small effort every week to get better in this regard.
I take FULL responsibility if you surround yourself with more people who will encourage you. Having negative influences around you will always hold you back, not let you reach your huge potential and be like a “good cop, bad cop” influence in your life telling you to do good and bad things for your health.
Good people in your life will be thrilled by your constant progress.
I take FULL responsibility if you stop calling in your favourite shop/petrol station to get wine/beer most nights on the way home. Alcohol stops your fat-burning by a third, and means you will be swimming against the tide and making life terribly hard for yourself, and adding to anxiety levels.
I will take FULL responsibility if you want to smash your stress levels into small little pieces. Show up and give more time to the punch bag, more time outside on the tyres and ladders, more time to the air assault bike, and aim to lift more and more each week, this is guaranteed to help with your head and what goes on within it.
I am here accepting FULL responsibility and you have to take some ownership too. FULL responsibility to call me on 07968 980 808 anytime and work it out for you.
I believe in you.
P.S. IT’S SUNNY this afternoon, every storm passes, and every storm in your head passes too if you take some action to get rid of it.

There’s something GOOD in every situation, and you had better get used to seeing it more and using it as an opportunity.
Someone has a bad leg at the gym, you may have heard me say it’s a great opportunity to get your upper body stronger while your leg rests.
Someone has a lot of stress in their life, it’s a great opportunity to get rid of a lot of it at the gym, the best stress reliever of the lot.
Someone is negative, then it’s a great opportunity to show them how positive action would transform their lives and challenge them to change.
Problems come and go in business, you soon learn that they are good because it prepares you better for them and adversity in the future, and you become a better business for it.
Often nobody gives you a chance, says you can’t do it, “just can’t be done”, it’s that exact moment you have the “fuel” to work harder than ever before and become so good they can’t ignore you.
Fed up that your business/job isn’t bring you success? How about working much harder and serving every person you come into contact with better? That will change your world right there and your success will come automatically in relation to how well you serve others.
Seeing good in situations proves you have the fire still deep within you, that you want to make a difference in people’s lives, and today you will rise up and prove that you are still very much alive and ready to fight.
