Keri McKibbin Personal Training

I’ve always told the story of the multimillionaire who would swap all his money and possessions JUST to have his health back-i trained his wife for years and unfortunately he was too sick by the time I got there to start training with him , and unfortunately he passed way before his time despite his vast apparent wealth.

I hear a health story each and every day, a health worry that goes one way or the other, and people come to train with us often at the top of their games all the way down to individuals recovering after big surgery or illness, or both.

That’s why big cars or houses don’t impress me much, but big recovery stories from the depths of despair are much more impressive to me, and I am full of admiration to all of them.

When you put all of it into context, your TRUE wealth is your health and if you hear what I do every day, it’s definitely NOT a cliche-it’s the reality of life. 

Your options and opportunities all rely on having your health, you feeling good right now rely on you not giving up on your workouts and eating right-those habits always lead to good health, but we realised long ago it takes a lot of work and daily action, great things always have a price and you rolling up your sleeves with a great attitude is a priceless asset to have in your life right now and long term,.

Nothing good comes easy, nothing ever lands in our laps easily apart from a low nutrient, dodgy takeaway from Just Eat which always sends our health the WRONG way.

Never take your health for granted, put in the work to feel better not only for how you look visually but internally too, your body is a powerful machine and it needs looking after daily.

There are times when you need to talk about your problems and it’s actively encouraged instead of bottling everything up.

But there needs to be a place where you need to be uplifted too, a place where you can laugh, learn a lot of new stuff, and every time you enter, you see real and easily measured improvements, and when you walk back out, you feel on a different level not only physically but mentally too.

This is why we exist as a gym. 

When you are having a tough time, you must escape to somewhere that will crush your doubt, destroy any negativity you may have and make you believe you have the ability to create better times ahead for yourself.

Feeling good is not a one off thing, it should be a daily practice and you need to recognise why you feel good at certain times, and why you feel down in the dumps. Triggers usually create both.

Whatever is going on in your life, your triggers to feel better should be putting yourself into a much more positive environment, to exercise and move most days, and put good fresh food into your body to energise you and help you recover after your great physical efforts.

We all have choices, make sure you only help yourself by doing what’s tried and tested to make you feel and perform better in life.
