Re-discovering yourself
Friday, May 11th
Another week of outstanding work, and this message came shining through to me.
Our culture is outstanding, and it’s not just me saying it. Gaynor Daniels, 73 asked a group of us this morning “is there any where else where we laugh so much, the time goes so quickly and we meet so many new nice people?”. That summed it up for me, and we are always protecting these precious principles.
The kids classes this week were outstanding and tonight too, strong numbers in the classes but more importantly, the culture of both classes is growing by the week.
Kids with all different personalities training together, getting on together and working as a team. Skills they absolutely need in later life but they are already developing them so well now.
Emma’s class has always loyal, hard working, strong principled participants. They know they are in for a tough one, but that’s what they love. They know every session will not only make them look physically better, but get a tougher mindset which applies to their everyday life too. They have learned that sticking at it brings great things into their lives.
Great life lessons we can all benefit from in every single session of the week at the gym.
We know that not every person who comes to the gym is perfectly going to fit in. Our positive, all welcoming attitude won’t work for every single person. Some people are energy vampires (trying to suck positivity out of others), but inevitably they never last with us because we never support a negative agenda. We support anyone who is prepared to work, treat people fairly and be part of our red army.
We welcome everyone on our bus, and it can and has changed lives. Thanks to all of you creating our hugely positive environment because you are all a part of it. We all have a common goal of making our lives better, and living in peace and with great joy, that must be the desired outcome over time.
Get your health right and you get your mind right. Don’t worry about the past, don’t worry about what might happen in the future, give every day your best effort and see how great things can turn out.

The way you set yourself up for a week can be the difference between having momentum and dreading the first day of the week.
An amazing weekend for me set me up nicely. Hanging out with hugely positive people, plenty of cycling with the family, nice food out that wasn’t frozen and was home made, plenty of sport with the family, and enjoying plenty of fresh air everywhere, and our beautiful countryside and trails which are truly magical.
This has my soul singing and I’m ON FIRE.
My soul sings when I get results for people and whoever stands in my way had better watch out. I don’t try to ever crush people, I win my argument and my case by giving everyone everyone the truth on what works, and I want to get everyone on our positive bus and loving life.
Your soul will sing if you know you are getting fitter. Your self-esteem will sing loudly if you realise that you are highly capable after all and are seeing results. Your confidence will only go sky high once you realise that you are capable of sticking this for the long term, and it’s the only way to feel incredible in health terms.
Do the things that make your soul sing every day, and get RID of the stuff that causes you anxiety and stress.
I TRULY ADMIRE THESE PEOPLE FOR THEIR COURAGE-you know who you are.
Those of you who can’t drink alcohol anymore (even though you enjoy it initially) because of the anxiety and worrisome feelings it gives you.
Those of you who have had their courage to leave “friends” behind because they undermined everything you did that was getting you somewhere in life. The happiness and relief on your face now is incredible.
Those of you who have gone back to college to pursue something that gets your soul singing, I was one myself many years ago.
My soul sings because I do every day what I enjoy, take on what gets me fired up and when when I’m fire, i’m capable of doing things at my maximum ability and sometimes even a bit better than that.
Work out what makes you happy, gets your soul singing and I sincerely hope you are very fired up and ready to go tomorrow with all guns blazing.

One thing I have realised as I have trained many, many individuals over the years of all backgrounds. When you have your health, you can imagine many great things happening in your life and there’s no rush on anything.
I have also seen people who haven’t worked on their health and let it slip away from them. Once your health goes, then you only have ONE battle, only one thing on your mind and that is to live, to feel well and get out of the awful situation you find yourself in.
The best strategy, and this comes from people I have trained, whether you have 10 million in the bank or you are 50k in debt, WORK ON YOUR HEALTH while you still have the power, it’s MUCH easier that way.
Most of you have plenty of options with your health right now, please don’t waste them. Appreciate the incredible gifts you have and you can still use them.
Your health is a true gift, please only build upon that great gift.
