The most powerful weapon you can develop to achieve anything you want is the thing we talk about a lot-consistency.

All things that are worth getting are achieved through hard work every time.

There’s no short cuts, no easy way out, if you want to get better at anything you had better be prepared to put the hard graft in.

Assuming you are ready to put the work in, then the next step is to never give up until you get there.

How many of your friends started a fitness effort up early January and have now given up? According to research, 90% of them have given up by now!

There are reasons why they give up of course, and never been put on a proper programme is the biggest one, never been looked after and shown what to do properly are high on the list.

So you are on our programme and you are naturally setting your sights high.

You are positive and despite some ups and downs along the way, you are achieving great results but always looking for more.

It’s the carrying on when you feel a bit down that is vital.

It’s the never stopping losing focus of your overall goal.

Its making training sessions happen, showing up even when its dark, wet and freezing outside and the easiest thing is to go home and sit on the settee.

Once you get into a mindset of seeing things through no matter what, it will give you the confidence to achieve time and time again in all areas of your life, as you will have proved to yourself that you can do this and anything else you put your mind to.

Be consistent and you will win every time. You may see others make more progress over the first couple of weeks for example, but if you stick at it, and stick to your principles of doing things the RIGHT WAY and GIVE IT LONG ENOUGH, you will soon enough catch them up and leave them trailing in your wake.

Most of you are doing exceptionally well in the first two weeks, but there will be plenty of ups and downs to come.

If you are looking to complete the 12 weeks perfectly, then that’s totally unrealistic. You will slip at times, but staying positive with your eyes on the overall improvement you’re making is vital. Your mind plays tricks with you, and making these changes may make you want to go back to your old ways at times.

If you have had a measurement this week, and your last one was BEFORE Christmas, then expect to have put body fat and inches ON because you haven’t been training as much, you have been eating as well, and you have probably been drinking more too.

You’re encouraged to be as consistent as possible with your training, this makes ALL the difference, and not listening to people who will put you off because deep down they don’t want you to be more successful than they are..

If you start skipping sessions, missing a week here and there, expect to feel de-motivated and finding it hard to get the same results. Don’t blame others why you’re not getting great results, when you analyse it all, if you have been eating poorly and missing training, then we cannot somehow conjure magic up for you and get you in shape.

Don’t tell yourself “stories” why you would have done it if so and so happened, why in the past body fat would have “dropped off quicker”. Be honest, you need to put the work in CONSISTENTLY and don’t miss sessions for the easiest of excuses. You have to want to do this because there’s plenty of people who will try to talk you out of being successful.

From research, theres plenty of evidence that successful people who get really fit and healthy, achieve sometimes staggering tranformations, often get “talked out” of their lifestyles by friends, usually because they are jealous of your success.

“Don’t do that anymore, you’re slim enough now”, “don’t lose ANYMORE weight for god sake”, “whats the point in getting fit anyway!!!”, “why don’t you come walking with me instead”, “you’re obsessed with being healthy!!!”.

These are classic signs of people close to you or you may work with who hate to see you doing so well.

Time to get your head down and focus on the huge change you are making to yourself. Be the one who says “no” at times, be the one who is a little different, be the one who doesn’t follow the crowd, and then you will achieve the extraordinary!

The most challenging aspect about our 12 week challenge is that we have to keep working for a while, consistently and efficiently, before we can see the payoff.

There will be a winner, but there are likely to be many, many “winners” because you are all likely to change yourselves dramatically, both stronger physically and mentally.

If you think you are going to look your best in two weeks, then you are in the wrong place because it won’t happen like that. Those who promise you that are charlatans, rip off merchants with no place in the fitness industry, or any industry.

They come and go every 5 minutes, just like the results they somehow “promise”.

It takes lots of small changes and hard work over a sustained period of time full stop. If you don’t put the work in and you are the type to give up after five minutes, then miracles won’t happen for you.

With us you’re going to be taught how to train properly, to lift properly, to take proper care how you train, how to recover, how to stay positive, when you train and what you do each time.

You will be taught that you’re only competing against yourself, and not comparing yourself to others.

Our oldest and long term members are the ones to follow. They know what hard work is all about. They aren’t “January” trainers, they are there in the freezing cold, the ultra-hot summer’s and setting new goals to have a big flourish at year end.

Our place doesn’t work like a lottery ticket, we work “magic” in 5 minutes and all of a sudden you are clothes are falling off you because you have suddenly become so lean and athletic!

We are about strong values, not putting up with fads, and seeing our programme through no matter how tough things get along the way, it takes time and consistency at doing the little things right.

A hard work-ethic is vital and you will develop one if you stick at it. Once you do, the truly amazing results you really want will be yours.

Achieving your goals doesn’t happen just because you just dream about it, talk about it, or even write it down.

It comes from the day to day decisions and keeping to what you said you were going to do, long enough to get to your end point where you actually achieve what you wanted to do.

Everyone who becomes successful with their health or just about anything never actually “own” it, it can never somehow stay that good forever without working on it. It needs to be something you to develop every day so you become better at it.

Once you realise that it’s really YOU who can really change your health, your fitness, your wellbeing, your moods, your energy levels, the way you look and feel, then you will feel liberated because you will realise that it really IS in your own hands after all.

The choices you can make vary wildly, many with wildly different outcomes.

1. If you want to become really unhealthy, start going for a takeaway each night and start buying wine/beer for the house and get stuck into it every night. Then stop exercising immediately and your mission to become really unhealthy will become a reality far sooner than you think.

Your moods will increase drastically, you will develop a negative state of mind and your standards in everything are likely to drop.

2. If you want to feel amazing and finally be healthy and fit, then try the following.

Try getting to bed earlier, start drinking more water, start exercising, drink alcohol in moderation, start eating more nutritious foods, and start setting targets for yourself along the way. Measure your progress and once you hit your initial goals, set yourself higher and higher standards.

Not everyone is prepared to put the work in to get to a high level they can be proud of. Focusing on getting better is the key, rely on your own efforts and forget about outside forces, because if you put your head down and really go for it, you can achieve anything you want.
