Chester Fit Clinic, 32 Charles Street, Chester (2026)

11/01/2026

Hi everyone 👋

I’m a local personal trainer and sports massage therapist based in Hoole, and I’m starting a couple of small-group strength classes for over 50s at my private studio on Charles Street.

The classes are designed to help people:
▪️improve strength and balance
▪️reduce stiffness and everyday aches
▪️stay active and confident as we get older
▪️exercise in a calm, supportive environment

Groups are small (maximum 6 people) so everyone gets guidance, and they’re suitable for all abilities — including those who haven’t exercised for a long time.

If this sounds like something that might suit you (or someone you know), feel free to comment below or send me a message and I’ll happily share more details.

Thanks 🙂

Been a while since I’ve posted on social media - not only being extremely busy but social media literally makes my brain go into standby mode.

I just wanted to announce that from 4th April 2024 my prices for sports massage will have to increase slightly due to one thing or another; mainly with the ever increasing cost of materials and utilities which I can no longer afford to soak up.

The new pricing will reflect on single sports massage services as well as the sports massage bundle packages I offer.

It’ll be 2-years since I started my clinic in Hoole this year and this is the first price increase I’ve had to make.

The new price increase is still very competitive compared to what is available out there today whilst still offering you a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ treatment.

NEW SINGLE PRICING

◾️30min sports massage: £30 (up from £25)
◾️45min sports massage: £35 (up from £30)
◾️60min sports massage: £40 (up from £35)

PACKAGES

◾️3x45min sports massage: £95 (up from £80)
◾️10x45min sports massage: £315 (up from £270)

⚠️You can still book in for ANY future dates at the current pricing until April 4th 2024 - this applies to packages too - so if you want to beat the increase after April, get booked in advance!

Cheers all and hope you have a fantastic Sunday.

Andy 💪🏼

Only a couple of slots left for the rest of 2023! I’m closed most of Christmas and into the new year for both sports massage and personal training.

*If you’re looking for a bit of relief prior to Christmas, next Friday currently has availability in the afternoon.*

Also if you’re stuck for Christmas presents, my sports massage vouchers are a great gift which you can purchase through the link in the bio

It’s that time of year again where we all go mad buying a load of stuff which will probably never get used.

If you are struggling to buy a present for a gym rat then why not consider the gift of relaxation with a sports massage voucher for them to use!

They were really popular last year and most who received a voucher as a present from their nearest and dearest have become regular clients of mine due to the positive effect it has on them.

▪️Persistent Weakness: If you find it difficult to perform everyday tasks or notice persistent muscle weakness, it may be a sign that your muscles need strengthening.

▪️Poor Posture: Weakness in certain muscles can lead to poor posture, causing back and neck pain.

▪️Frequent Fatigue: If you feel fatigued quickly during physical activities, it might be due to muscle weakness.

▪️Balance Issues: Weak muscles can affect your balance, increasing the risk of falls.
▪️Joint Pain: Weak muscles may not adequately support your joints, leading to joint pain.

▪️Reduced Range of Motion: Muscle weakness can limit your range of motion in joints, making it harder to move freely.

▪️Frequent Injuries: Weak muscles can increase the likelihood of injuries during physical activities.

▪️Weight Gain: Lack of muscle strength can contribute to weight gain as muscles help burn calories.

▪️Difficulty Climbing Stairs: Struggling to climb stairs is often a sign of weak leg muscles.

▪️Loss of Lean Body Mass: Over time, muscle weakness can result in a loss of lean body mass, which is important for overall health.

If you notice several of these signs, it’s a good idea to consult a healthcare professional or a personal trainer to create a tailored muscle-strengthening program - luckily for you, I’m both of the above so….🤙🏼📱

I’ve used cupping with great effect on quite a number of patients who visit me for sports massage which has helped a promote/ease:

▪️Pain relief: Helps with pain management, particularly for conditions like lower back pain and osteoarthritis.

▪️Muscular relaxation: Cupping helps to relax muscles and improve range of movement.

▪️Inflammatory conditions: Cupping may help with certain inflammatory conditions, like fibromyalgia, but I have used on one or two of my clients who reported back that is helped significantly when a flare up occurs.

When combined with red light therapy and deep tissue massage, it is a very worthwhile treatment if you’re feeling stressed from work or you are struggling with gym performance currently.

I offer CBD sports massage at my clinic due to lots of amazing feedback I have had from using this massage medium.

The evidence-based benefits of CBD (cannabidiol) are still being researched, and more clinical trials are needed for definitive conclusions. However, some promising findings based on existing research include:

▪️Chronic Pain: Some studies suggest that CBD may help manage chronic pain, including conditions like osteoarthritis and multiple sclerosis-related pain.

▪️Anxiety and Depression: There’s evidence to suggest that CBD may have anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) and antidepressant effects, although more research is needed in this area.

▪️Sleep Disorders: CBD may help improve sleep quality and reduce insomnia symptoms, although the mechanisms are not fully understood.

▪️Neurological Disorders: Research is ongoing, but CBD shows potential in providing neuroprotection and possibly benefiting conditions like Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease.

▪️Anti-inflammatory Effects: CBD’s anti-inflammatory properties have been studied, making it a potential option for conditions involving inflammation, such as rheumatoid arthritis.

▪️Substance Abuse: Some studies suggest that CBD may aid in reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms in individuals with substance use disorders.

▪️Acne Management: CBD’s anti-inflammatory properties may be useful in managing acne by reducing sebum production and inflammation.

Book your CBD massage at the clinic and give any stuff, achy muscles the recovery they need to make that next run or gym sesh a breeze 🌿💪🏼

30min - £25
45min - £30
60min - £35

The different dimensions of health—financial health, social health, physical health, and mental health—can significantly affect an individual’s ability to recover from an injury:

1. Financial Health:
✅ Positive Impact: Good financial health can provide access to quality healthcare, rehabilitation services, and medications, which can expedite the recovery process.
❌ Negative Impact: Financial stress can limit access to necessary medical treatments and therapies, potentially prolonging recovery or leading to incomplete healing.

2. Social Health:
✅ Positive Impact: Strong social support systems can provide emotional and physical assistance during the recovery period, making it easier to adhere to treatment plans and maintain a positive outlook.
❌ Negative Impact: Social isolation can lead to feelings of loneliness and lack of assistance, which may hinder motivation and adherence to recovery recommendations.

3. Physical Health:
✅ Positive Impact: Good physical health before the injury can enhance the body’s ability to heal and recover. A well-maintained body can often recover more efficiently.
❌ Negative Impact: Poor physical health may slow down the recovery process, especially if it limits mobility or complicates the body’s natural healing mechanisms.

4. Mental Health:
✅ Positive Impact: Good mental health can foster a positive attitude, resilience, and motivation to follow through with rehabilitation programs and recovery plans.
❌ Negative Impact: Mental health issues such as depression or anxiety can hinder recovery by reducing motivation, compliance with treatment, and overall well-being.

In summary, the various dimensions of health can either facilitate or hinder the recovery process after an injury. Positive factors in these dimensions can support faster and more complete recovery, while negative factors can slow down or complicate the healing process. It’s important to address any challenges in these areas during the recovery period to optimize the chances of a successful and efficient recovery. Seeking assistance, whether medical, emotional, or financial, may be necessary to overcome barriers to recovery.

In the world of health and fitness, we often fixate on pushing our limits, breaking a sweat, and challenging ourselves to the max. However, one crucial element that’s often underestimated but is absolutely vital to our progress is recovery. Here’s why recovery is not just a luxury but an absolute necessity for achieving your health and fitness goals.

▪️Muscle Repair and Growth: Recovery time allows muscles to repair and grow stronger, essential for building lean muscle mass.
▪️Injury Prevention: Recovery reduces the risk of overuse injuries, keeping you on track with your workouts.
▪️Optimal Performance: Adequate rest ensures peak physical and mental performance during workouts.
▪️Hormonal Balance: Recovery regulates hormones crucial for muscle growth and fat loss.
▪️Improved Sleep: Quality sleep during recovery aids healing and overall fitness progress.
▪️Mental Resilience: Stress reduction during recovery maintains mental toughness for consistency.
▪️Nutrient Absorption: Proper nutrition in recovery supports energy replenishment and muscle repair.
▪️Sustainability: Regular recovery prevents burnout, ensuring a lifelong fitness journey.
▪️Preventing Plateaus: Recovery helps break through fitness plateaus by allowing adaptation.
▪️Balancing Intensity: Recovery days and active rest are vital for effective high-intensity training.

while the sweat and effort you put into your health and fitness journey are undeniably important, it’s what you do during your recovery periods that can truly make or break your progress.

Remember that recovery isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a strategic move that’s essential for achieving your health and fitness goals safely and effectively. So, prioritize recovery as a fundamental part of your fitness routine, and watch how it transforms your body, mind, and overall well-being.

Haven’t posted in a while as I’ve been extremely busy here, but found a window of opportunity this afternoon.

Patience is crucial on a health and fitness journey because real, sustainable changes take time. Progress isn’t always linear, but consistent efforts yield lasting results.

Patience cultivates several essential qualities and benefits, including:

▪️Resilience: Patience allows you to endure challenges and setbacks with grace, bouncing back stronger.

▪️Self-discipline: It fosters the ability to stay focused and consistent in pursuing your goals.

▪️Emotional well-being: Patience helps reduce stress, anxiety, and frustration, promoting mental balance.

▪️Mindfulness: It encourages living in the present moment and appreciating each step of the journey.

▪️Perseverance: Patience empowers you to persist through difficulties, maintaining your determination.

▪️Wisdom: It allows for better decision-making, as hasty choices are replaced with thoughtful ones.

▪️Appreciation: Patience helps you value the progress and growth achieved through dedication and time.

Embrace the process, stay committed, and remember that small steps lead to significant transformations.

Engaging in excessive workouts or pushing yourself too hard at the gym can have negative consequences.

Here are a few reasons why it’s important not to do too much too soon:

1️⃣ Risk of injury: When you push your body beyond its limits without allowing proper time for recovery and adaptation, you increase the risk of injuries such as strains, sprains, and overuse injuries. It’s crucial to gradually increase the intensity, duration, and frequency of your workouts to give your body time to adjust.

2️⃣ Burnout and loss of motivation: Overdoing it at the gym can lead to burnout, both physically and mentally. If you exhaust yourself too quickly, you might feel overwhelmed or lose the motivation to continue exercising. It’s important to find a balance and listen to your body’s needs.

3️⃣ Plateaus and diminishing returns: Rapid progress initially might be encouraging, but consistently pushing your body to its limits can sometimes lead to diminishing returns over time. Your body adapts to stress and requires varying stimuli to continue progressing. If you start at an excessively high intensity, it becomes challenging to sustain continuous improvement.

4️⃣ Mental and emotional strain: Intense workouts can put significant stress on your mind and emotions, especially if you’re not adequately prepared. The pressure to achieve immediate results or meet unrealistic expectations on social media can lead to anxiety, frustration, or even feelings of failure. It’s important to set realistic goals and prioritize your mental well-being.

Remember, fitness is a lifelong journey, and progress is best achieved through consistent, sustainable efforts. Gradually increasing the intensity and allowing your body to adapt will help you stay injury-free and maintain long-term motivation.
