Thursday, January 10th

I meet inspiring, and often remarkable people at the gym daily. They set new boundaries for my coaching, make me work hard behind the scenes, and turn my days into often incredible adventures.

The kind of people ought not to be at the gym if you listen to the general public. They should be “resting on the settee”, their active life is “finished” and people often “sympathise” with, in other words feel sorry for.

They simply “have a go”.

Once you have a go, then your own mental boundaries get expanded in to often mind-bending possibilities.

Anyone reading this who has been through that process of rehab from a dark place knows that I am conservative, but with a series of often many steps, then full mobility, full strength, and full capacity can often be reached again.

The body can come back, but the mind is the main driver. The mind can knock you down, or drag you through kicking and screaming to a new life full of endless possibility and excitement.

Whatever tough time in your life that’s hitting you right now, you need to realise that we have plenty of members who care about you, who have been through the same levels of difficulty or worse, and are dying to tell you the arduous story they went through, not to emphasise how much of a hero they were, but the heroic life that awaits you once you emerge from your darkest hours.

Thursday tomorrow, let’s get ready to work.

Monday, 7th January

There’s no such thing as “cruising ” if you want to keep progressing, and keep changing your life for the better.

Cruising shuts down something in the brain, that stops you trying so hard, and eventually gets you “going through the motions” which eventually gets you quitting easier than you ever thought.

You are either moving forward or falling back. Make your choice, and get off the sidelines and get in the game at least THREE times a week with us.

You have to be ready to “hustle”, and find a bit more out of yourself. You FIND a bit more out of yourself when you either MAKE your session or you find an EXCUSE not to make it.

You can look at yourself proudly in the mirror when you show up, and challenge yourself to become better.

You will let out a big sigh in disappointment when you miss a session, you will have regrets when you miss a week but part of you really gets lost when you miss a few weeks, because you know you will have to reset your brain, get the charge back in your body and prove to yourself what great things you can do again.

The great news is I am here to hassle, hustle, push, nag drive you, annoy you at times, motivate you, and DO THE THINGS I KNOW THAT ARE NECESSARY to get you to be the best you can be.

I still believe in ALL of you, are you ready to hustle and find a way no matter what?
