Keri McKibbin Personal Training

We can learn a lot from puppies. My puppy is quietly getting used to going for walks, going down the lane a bit further each time, nervous to discover new areas of the lane, and then eventually seeing fast moving cars for the very first time.

At EACH of those stages, he doesn’t want to go any further, He would rather go back to the safety of his home. BUT he’s encouraged to take a few more steps, then it’s time to go back home again.

You know in a few weeks, a few months time, that he will be straining to search out much more adventurous terrain, sights and smells.

When someone is thinking about exercising, or start back exercising, they want to feel better but like the puppy, they feel nervous about taking the first step through the gym door.

When they do, they don’t think they could ever be as fit as the people they see working out.

They need to be encouraged to get better, to try new exercises and challenges, and as soon as they discover they CAN do most things much better than they thought, it’s at that point they cannot be stopped.

This is when great momentum is reached in their exercise and fitness journey and regular exercise becomes a way of life you carry on just to feel better and is exactly where you want to be. All the nerves would have gone and you only wonder why you didn’t start earlier. 

I had a question off a member of the public again this week “why don’t you advertise? I never see you doing it” as if it was a “bad thing”!! It is true, we NEVER do it and I apologised to him profusely for NOT doing it in a tongue in cheek way.

We rely on our service to our members ABOVE EVERYTHING else, and that’s how word of mouth works. Our members come first, we have very young members from 6 years old all the way up to almost 90 years of age, all of them have different needs and abilities, and that’s why a silly approach of shoving them all into a big group, smash them with the same workout and HOPE for the best could be a disastrous and often dangerous approach.

We are NEVER “looking for 10 more women/men” like you see some trainers/gyms doing those cheesy adds as if its a sincere advert, it really is cringeworthy.

We are never looking for “busy dads” or other false marketing rubbish that fools nobody (perhaps it does for 5 mins I’m not sure).

We never hook people up on contracts and force them to pay against their will and they feel trapped. I want people who WANT to train with us at the gym, who are happy and want to learn.

At any one time when you walk into the gym, we are busy training with INTELLIGENCE and constantly solving problems and offering the BEST SOLUTION to make you perform better, recover quicker from injury and in general elevate you to a much higher level.

WE WILL NEVER ADVERTISE EVER, and we thank you for buying into our intelligent training that always changes, designed to make you constantly a lot better,

I love it when other people go to other gyms before us, because its great so they can see the comparison of what they are used to (usually no help and nobody gives a damn), to what we do (maximum help and get the job done no matter what approach).

Thanks for your continued amazing support,

Keri and family.
