When Your Strength Test Dips ...

Let’s get one thing clear, at Inspire your progress isn’t just measured by the weight on a machine. It’s measured by you, in your day to day lives. It's measured by the fact you can empty the lawnmower basket with ease again or the fact you can keep up on the family bike rides! It's measured by the confidence you have in your body.

Our technology gives us data, sure, but what really matters is how you feel. Sometimes your body needs a nudge forward. Other times, it’s asking for a breather.
A dip in your strength test doesn’t mean you’re going backwards. It usually means your body is quietly saying “I’m tired. I need a minute.” And that’s not failure, that’s smart.

When you move well, you move strong. Sometimes slowing down helps you come back better.

Your body isn’t a robot. It’s resilient, responsive and sometimes it whispers before it shouts and our strength tests are designed to pick up on those quiet cues. Listening to those signals is part of what makes training at Inspire different.

Because we don’t just measure your strength. We help you understand it. 💛

Thinking About Booking Your Induction?

If you’ve been hovering over the “book now” button but keep talking yourself out of it, we get it.

Walking into a gym for the first time (or the first time in a long time) can feel intimidating. But that’s exactly why Inspire exists.

Your induction isn’t a test. It’s a chat, a few guided movements and a chance to see that you absolutely can do this.

We’ll walk you through everything, set the equipment up just for you and make sure you leave feeling confident and proud that you took that first step.

No pressure. No judgement. Just a supportive start to something that’s all about you.

Message us today to book your induction, your future self will thank you for it.

Strength training isn’t about building muscles.

It’s about building a body that supports you in everyday life.

Carrying shopping without feeling like you're giving it all you've got.
Climbing stairs without stopping for breath.
Getting down on the floor to play with the kids ... and back up again!
Keeping your independence for years to come.

That’s what our guided strength sessions are all about, practical fitness that makes life easier ☺️

Truth Time ...

Even though we run a fitness studio, we don’t bounce out of bed desperate to work out every single day!

Life is busy. Energy dips. Motivation wobbles. Sometimes we just can't be bothered!

We get it, mostly because we feel it too sometimes.

That’s why accountability matters.

Carolyn and I keep each other on track (sometimes with a laugh, sometimes with a gentle nudge). And that’s exactly what we do for our members too.

We’re not here to make you feel bad when you've lost your mojo. (You'll be doing that enough yourself no doubt) We’re the ones walking behind you, giving you that push up the hill when you need it most.

Show up, we’ll take it from there. Let us know if you need a push in the right direction 💛

Why strength helps your joints (not hurts them!)

Aching knees? Tight hips? Sore back?

Here’s the good news

✧ Strength training shouldn’t damage your joints, it should protect them.

✧ Building stronger muscles means taking the load off your joints, reducing pain and keeping you moving more freely.

It’s why we see members with arthritis, hip replacements or just everyday aches find relief and confidence through regular strength training.

And with our EGYM equipment, everything is personalised to you - your aches, your pinch points, your strengths and weaknesses.

Safe, supported, and effective from day one!

Our final Small Change ...

Protect your sleep like it’s part of your training!

Aim for a consistent bedtime and try swapping the late night scroll for something calming. A book, gentle stretches or even just a few deep breaths.

Good sleep means better mood, more energy and faster recovery from workouts (and life!)

Think of it as the invisible workout that powers all the others.

And yes, we do mean putting your phone down before midnight… we see you 👀

That’s the last of our September Small Changes!

Simple steps, steady progress and proof that little tweaks can add up to big wins.

Which one are you sticking with for October?

“I’ve joined the gym but I’m not losing weight”

Let’s be honest, this one’s common.

Here’s the thing

• The scales don’t tell the full story.
• Strength training builds muscle, boosts metabolism and changes how your body feels and works (often before the numbers shift)
• And sometimes, weight isn’t the best measure of progress anyway.

That’s why at Inspire we offer monthly weigh & measure check ins (optional, of course!) We look at changes in muscle, fat and measurements - not just the number on the scales.

Remember: if you’re moving better, feeling stronger and have more energy, you are making progress. Don’t let the scales determine your success ❤️

If you're a night owl perhaps aim to go to bed 10 mins earlier each night?

Over time you can add on to that 10 minutes, before you know it you could have an extra hour to rest!

That’s the last of our September Small Changes.

Our next September Small Change is all about movement.

Add just 10 extra minutes a day.

Not a workout, not a gym session, just moving your body a little more than yesterday.

Walk to the shop instead of driving?

Stretch while the kettle boils?

Dance around the kitchen (bonus points if no one’s watching 💃)

It doesn’t have to be fancy to be effective. Small shifts build big strength over time.

Where could you sneak in your extra 10 minutes today?
