🦴 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗡𝗮𝗻, 𝗠𝘂𝗺, 𝗔𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘆 — 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗣𝗧 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 (𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸)

When most people think about weak bones, they picture older adults shuffling carefully to avoid a fall.

But here’s the surprising truth: 𝗯𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 — 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿.

A quick, painless measurement that tells you exactly where you stand.

You might assume you’re safe if you’re active — but I’ve seen elite cyclists training 20 hours a week discover dangerously low bone density.

Why? Because some forms of exercise (like cycling or swimming) are 𝗻𝗼𝗻-𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁-𝗯𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴, so bones don’t get the stimulus they need to stay strong. Add in low energy intake or dietary gaps, and bone loss can creep in quietly.

But it’s not just athletes…

🧓 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝘂𝗺 might already be losing bone density without knowing it.
💁 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 might be post-menopause, when bone loss accelerates.
🏃 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗿𝘂𝗻𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 might have a nutritional imbalance or stress fracture risk.

From our 𝗺𝗶𝗱-𝟯𝟬𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀, we all begin to lose bone density.
For women, this speeds up after menopause.
For men, it’s slower — but still significant.

And the first warning sign often isn’t pain…
It’s a 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 from something as simple as tripping on the stairs or missing a step.

👉 Whether you’re 𝟮𝟱 𝗼𝗿 𝟲𝟱, an 𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲, 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻, 𝗯𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀.

The good news?
You don’t have to wait for a break to find out.

Finally the The Guardian have shared a concept that we've been recommending for absolutely years: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2025/aug/10/the-zone-zero-secret-how-ultra-low-stress-exercise-can-change-your-life?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Our "Fat Max Assessment" is a treadmill based walking that determines the precise heart rate zone where your body metabolises the most fat whilst either zero or minimal carbohydrate is burnt.

Vital for those looking to get back into shape after a lay-off; trying to reduce some unwanted fat mass; or for athletes of all levels looking to achieve peak performance by reduction of body fat.

Pair this with our Resting Metabolic Rate assessment for personalised nutrition targets for maximal effect!

We are loving helping Sue, but the key message here is we are not just for athletes!

Anyone who is on a journey to improve health; "fitness"; longevity and looking to boost healthspan can benefit from the bespoke set of assessments we can offer.

Yesterday I visited SportsTest for what I thought would be a simple VO₂ max test—and came away with life-changing insights. Dr Garry Palmer’s science-backed assessments revealed that I actually need to move more slowly and eat more, especially protein. For the first time, I feel like I have pe...

💜 And here she is showing us all how to get it done…

Some athletes love to train but shy away from race day… and that was true for our Hazel - until now!

After years of consistent training and building fitness, Garry encouraged her to try something new - and 🤩, did she rise to the challenge!

After joining a local hybrid gym, stepping out of her comfort zone, and just competed in women’s open doubles!

Not only Ccushing it alongside her race partner, but she made her coach incredibly proud. A brilliant example of how the right support, belief, and guidance can unlock potential…

Well done

💜Client Spotlight! Big congratulations to Tom… an awesome performance at Great Birmingham Run also, clocking 1:28:54 for the half marathon distance.

🤝While not formally coached by Garry, he’s had testing and now consistently come in monthly for body composition checks, and taken on board advice and the results are showing.

Tom, already lean, has dropped 4kg of non essential fat. 💥

👏It’s always rewarding to see athletes and clients putting science into action and smashing their goals. Can’t wait to see what happens with his marathon later on in the season.

💜We could not be more proud of coached client Becky… she smashed out 38:27 at Birmingham 10k 🏃‍♀️ she was 6th over all and 2nd in her AG and a blooming PB by 18 secs… which earns her an England Vest!!

💜 Juggling full time work and 2 young children she works with Garry to work smarter in her training and not harder…

Congratulations Becky - so well deserved!

🐣Today is traditionally a day of reflection & rest… and maybe resisting the urge to “smash out a 10k” - “do that extra hyrox circuit”

💥 To all our athletes, runners, cyclists, triathletes, hyroxers and boxers, we know sacrifice is your middle name… you’ve already given up lie-ins, late nights and the odd toenail

🫵 Today can be a chance to pause, breathe and remember rest is also part of the plan too!

🍰 Of course for some, getting out and doing what we love, is a reward in itself… 🚴 🏃🏋️‍♀️🥊🚶‍♀️‍➡️🤼‍♀️🤸‍♂️⛷️

💜 Who was out racing this weekend?

💪 We know Jane was, she was at the West Lancashire Triathlon but was doing the Aquathlon.

⭐️ She was first in her age category and 4th lady!

In Jane’s words “ I’m gobsmacked.. Really chuffed!” 🚀

🤝 Don’t leave your training to chance. Get tested, use real stats and get a coach who isn’t gobsmacked but is as chuffed as his athletes performances!
