When someone asks your opinion on whether to take on a new challenge, and i’m betting you are a well meaning individual, who only wants the best for people, your opinion is usually i would bet “to go for for it”, “to make yourself happy”, “to go and make a better future”.

Our kids are in a school Christmas play today, we wish them all the best, to enjoy the occasion and to savour the day. If they want to try new activities, we fully support them and want them to have a great experience out of it.

When it comes to ourselves, most of us short-change ourselves on our decisions because we often think “we aren’t good enough or our time has somehow passed to do it”. When opportunities come up, quite often we debate them heavily and not often back ourselves, the odds are against us we think and it would be “safer” to stay as we are.

There has never been a more dangerous time to stay the same. We all must grow to improve, we must embrace change fully or life never improves for us, however uncomfortable that change may be.

To make the most of opportunities, we must start to take them without questioning them so much, we must learn to have trust in what we are doing more, we must learn to trust the process more, we must learn to have patience that although the process is often longer than we hoped for, we WILL get there no matter whatever your goals in life, and all of this change is for the better creating an even better future.

Visualisation is the first key to a successful future.

The best way to predict the future is to see it and then create it by doing it.

The hurdles and challenges we face are sometimes very tough, but being able to see what is ahead unleashes your ability to persevere and come out on top.

All of the success stories we have had have involved a lot of courage, a lot of bouncing back when all seemed lost, and usually meant carrying on even when it was easier to quit.

The best success stories involved the word RESILIENCE. The word resilience comes from a latin word “resilire”. It means “back” and “leap”. When we are resilient, we LEAP BACK up after getting knocked down.

If we are unable to rebound from setbacks and disappointments, we will never be able to reach our true potential.

We can do one of two things when adversity crosses our path.

We can view our life as if we are in pit, as if the rug has been pulled underneath us, and we’re in this deep hole we can’t get out of.

Or we can maintain our clear vision of what our life is about, how we want our bodies and minds to be again, and harness that adversity to take us to higher ground again.

If we have a strong and clear enough picture of what we want to become, if we feel it in our hearts and with reason in our minds, we can and will overcome anything.

If we view life as constantly looking forward, it means our greatest work and contribution is always ahead of us.

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.

Sometimes the biggest inspiration you can get is people telling you, you can’t.

That you aren’t “good enough”.

That it’s not “possible” for you.

That success isn’t “really you”.

Don’t let anyone else tell you what your strengths and weaknesses are, and what you are not good at, because usually that just isn’t true. I see individuals proving people wrong every single day, and going on to achieve things considered “impossible” just a few weeks before.

Many people don’t like to see others achieving and don’t have the guts and determination to leave their comfort zone themselves. Leaving your very own comfort zone is tough, but your achievements and things you will be proud of only begin at that exact moment when you really give things a go, and promise this time to finally see it through to the end.

If you listen to everyone’s opinions, especially the negative people, then the chances of you really reaching your deep down goals (the ones you really care about), are going to derailed or at least slowed down a lot.

Once you realise that you are biggest contributor to creating your own destiny, then you will move forward quickly and real-life meaningful changes will happen for you.

Once you start overcoming obstacles/reaching and beating targets you set yourself, you will develop momentum and developing the necessary habits to be successful will become totally natural and something you do every single day without even thinking about it.

Your beliefs about your true ability are crucial, and please never let others “decide” what that ability actually is, because chances are that they are holding you back getting the big things that really matter to you.
