💚 Strength isn’t silence 💚

This is what real strength looks like 💪

Snowy is an old football friend of mine, a dad and someone who has been through a lot. Life knocked him sideways …. relationship breakdowns, dark periods, unhealthy coping mechanisms and instead of staying stuck, he chose to rebuild 👏

He shows up. He puts the work in. He keeps going, even when it’s hard. And I couldn’t be prouder of the man Snowy is becoming 🙌

Training isn’t just about muscles or fitness. It’s a lifeline for many people. A place to breathe, to reset, to feel capable again. What makes this even more special is that Snowy trains alongside his daughter, rebuilding his health while strengthening their bond 🩷

Men’s mental health still isn’t talked about enough. Too many men feel they have to stay quiet and carry everything alone 😔 But strength isn’t silence. Strength is showing up, asking for help and choosing better, one day at a time.

I’m genuinely proud of this man. And if anyone reading this is struggling or feels like they don’t know where to start, my door is always open. For training, for talking, going for a walk and/or coffee or simply for taking that first step 🪜

Keep going. Keep breathing. Keep choosing yourself.

Check in on your family relatives, your mates, especially the strong ones. Talking saves lives 🗣️

✨ January Self-Care: Kerry’s Challenge ✨

This year, instead of New Year’s resolutions, Kerry has set herself a self-care challenge. To try something new once a month.

She’s very good at preaching self-care… and also very good at giving everything to everyone else through her work and personal life, while often putting herself last. From the outside, it can look like she’s always looking after herself, the gym, the walks, staying active. But real self-care goes much deeper than that.

The last two years, her challenge was finally facing what she already knew: she was struggling with perimenopause. Speaking up, getting medical support and starting HRT was a complete game-changer 🙌

So this year, she’s continuing to prioritise herself 👏

January started with flotation therapy at kindly gifted by Craig for Christmas (at her request 🤍).

From the moment Kerry arrived, Lewis made the experience feel calm, safe and welcoming. From the full induction to simple tips that genuinely enhanced the float. Music for the first half, silence for the second… and she’s very glad she trusted that recommendation 🎶

For someone who finds it hard to fully relax, the experience was fascinating, tuning into her breath, her heartbeat and realising just how still her body actually was. Kerry didn’t fully let go until the very end… which is apparently very normal. Next time? Kerry thinks she’d probably fall asleep 😴

50 minutes floating, a warm shower afterwards, everything provided and Kerry left feeling grounded, calm and really glad she did it 🤗

✨ January self-care complete… we wonder what February will bring ✨

We’d love to know what self-care are you choosing? Add it to the comments 👇

🦵💪 Squat to Single Dumbbell Press 🦵💪

Full-body strength in one powerful move 🔥

The squat into single dumbbell press is a brilliant compound exercise that challenges your legs, core, shoulders and balance all at once. Perfect if you’re short on time but still want an effective, functional workout that gets the heart rate up and builds lower-body and upper-body strength:

✔️ Improves balance and coordination
✔️ Boosts cardiovascular fitness
✔️ Great for everyday movement patterns

To get the most out of this move (and avoid injury), focus on these key technique points:

✔️ Feet shoulder-width apart, chest proud
✔️ Sit back into the squat, keeping your knees tracking over your toes
✔️ Core braced as you drive up through your heels
✔️ Press the dumbbell overhead as you stand, keeping your ribs down

Control the movement - no rushing, no swinging

Simple. Effective. Functional 👌

Save this one to try in your next session 😊

🌟Post Surgery Aftercare 🌟

Recovery doesn’t end when the surgery is over. It truly begins in the days that follow. Whether your procedure is cosmetic (tummy tuck, liposuction, breast surgery, hair transplant, eye surgery) or medical (hip replacement, knee replacement, C-section, hernia repair and more), the right aftercare can make a huge difference to your comfort, healing and long-term results.

It’s also important to know that Post Operative Lymphatic Drainage is very different from Manual Lymphatic Drainage. After surgery, the body is vulnerable, swollen and healing, which means the technique must be adapted, gentle, precise and performed by a fully trained Post Operative Lymphatic Drainage Specialist to ensure safety and the best outcomes.

My post surgery aftercare goes far beyond the treatment itself. Your recovery is supported on every level:

✨ Gentle, rhythmic lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling, ease tightness, improve mobility and support natural healing
✨ Education and guidance on supplements, nutrition and hydration to optimise recovery
✨ Support with compression garments, how to wear them, when to adjust and help choosing the right compression for your procedure
✨ Lifestyle and wellness guidance to keep your recovery moving forward
✨ Scar therapy massage once your incision is fully healed
✨ Monitoring for early signs of complications, with prompt referral back to your surgeon or a medical professional, if needed
✨ Stage-by-stage guidance, so you always know what’s normal and what to expect

Every client’s journey is unique and every body heals at its own pace. My goal is to guide you through each stage with clarity, comfort and confidence, helping you feel lighter, safer and fully supported throughout your recovery ❤️‍🩹

Surgery coming up? Already recovering? Send me a message. I’m here to help 😊

🌿 SCAR THERAPY 🌿

💫 It’s not just about how it looks, it’s about how it feels.

Every scar tells a story… but sometimes it leaves more behind than just a mark.

👉 Maybe it feels tight, sensitive or numb
👉 Maybe you don’t like to look at it or touch it
👉 Maybe it’s changed how your body moves or how connected you feel to it

Scar therapy is truly powerful work. It’s not just skin-deep, it can influence how your body feels, moves and heals.

Using gentle, focused massage techniques, we can:
💆‍♀️ Soften and smooth scar tissue
🌸 Improve movement and circulation
🪷 Ease pulling, tightness or discomfort
✨ Help you reconnect with your body again, inside and out

It doesn’t matter how old the scar is. We can still make change happen.

C-sections, surgeries, injuries, burns, every scar can benefit.

Your scar doesn’t have to be something you avoid or put up with. It can be something you work with and feel a real difference.

Curious to find out more? Send me a message and let’s talk about how scar therapy could help you.

🚀 CLIENT SPOTLIGHT 🚀

Three years ago, Ian came to me with no training background, no nutrition habits and a lifestyle that revolved around long hours, high stress and heavy socialising. Running multiple successful businesses, fitness just wasn’t on the radar but stress, burnout and exhaustion were.

Fast forward to now… what a transformation 🔥

Ian’s dropped significant weight, now standing strong at around 15 stone.

He’s cut back his drinking massively. Still socialising (because that’s part of who he is), but now with balance and control.

Ian’s built healthier habits around food, movement and mindset.

And exercise has become his outlet. Ian’s way of managing stress and protecting his energy.

From not being able to do a burpee or box jump, to smashing through full workouts and just last weekend, completing a partner fitness challenge against another PT and a competitive friend … and absolutely holding his own 💪🔥

It hasn’t been easy. There have been setbacks, doubts, and plenty of sweat. But Ian’s mindset, discipline and commitment to change have been next level.

Now he looks incredible. He feels incredible. And the biggest shift of all …. his mindset.

This is what real transformation looks like.

It’s not about perfection. It’s about progress, consistency and showing up, especially when it’s hard.

If Ian’s story resonates with you …. if you’re juggling work, family, social life and stress and know something has to change, then this is your sign to check in 💬

Because with the right guidance, structure and accountability… you can do this too.

✨ It’s never too late to start✨

Client Spotlight: Marathon Ready 🏃‍♂️

This absolute star 🌟 has been training with us consistently for nearly two years — and what a journey it’s been!

used to find it tough to stay consistent with health and fitness, but that’s all changed. He’s fully embraced the lifestyle, from smashing his weight training and PT sessions to showing up strong at boot camp and gym circuits.

In the past few months, he’s also taken up running again — and just 6 weeks ago, he found out he’d been selected for the taking place this weekend 🏃‍♂️ He’ll be running to raise money for the Trust — an incredible cause 🎀

Sid’s commitment really shows:

➡️ He’s made big changes to his nutrition, even when it’s not easy 🥗

➡️ He’s lost weight but still knows how to enjoy life (yes, that includes drink 🍺 and chocolate 🍫)

➡️ He prioritises recovery with regular sports massage 💆‍♂️

➡️ He takes on mobility and stretch advice to support his performance 💪

➡️ And most of all, he turns up with a smile on his face 😃 always ready to say hello — a truly likable, positive energy to have around 💫

We are beyond proud 🥰 Sid is living proof that with consistency and the right mindset, anything is possible.

You’ve got this, Sid — go and smash that marathon 🏃‍♂️

If you’d like to support Sid’s chosen charity, the Trust, you can donate via the link here. Any amount is hugely appreciated 🩷
