Summer holidays are officially here…
That means routines shift, kids are home, the heat ramps up, and suddenly your “me time” feels like a distant memory.

If you’re already feeling the pressure - this post is for you. 💚

Here’s your Summer Survival Kit (no packing required!)

🧃 Hydration - It's not glamorous, but it's essential. Sip water like it’s rosé at a BBQ.
👟 Movement (in any form) - A class, a walk, stretching in the kitchen while dinner cooks - it all counts.
📆 Looser routines - Let go of perfect schedules. Some weeks will be off - that’s OK.
😴 Rest when you can - Early night? Quick nap? Feet up with a cuppa? It matters.
📱 Support - Stay connected. Whether it’s in class, in the DMs or on our socials – you don’t have to do it alone.
✨ Permission to prioritise you - Even if it’s just 10 minutes. You’re worth showing up for.

So yes, summer is a bit chaotic… but you don’t have to disappear in the madness.
We’re still here.
Still cheering for you.
Still holding space for you.

Let us know what’s in your personal survival kit - we’d love to hear it 👇

Let’s talk about strength training. 💪🏼
If you’ve ever thought “weights just aren’t for me” - this one’s for you.

Because strength training isn’t just for bodybuilders or gym fanatics. It’s one of the most powerful tools for improving your health - especially as we get older.

Here’s why:

✨ Boosts metabolism - Muscle burns more energy at rest than fat, so building it helps your body burn more throughout the day.
🦴 Supports bone health - Crucial for preventing osteoporosis, particularly around menopause.
🛌 Improves sleep and mood - Regular strength training can help regulate hormones and reduce anxiety.
👜 Makes everyday life easier - Lifting shopping bags, carrying the kids, climbing stairs - you’ll feel stronger doing it all.
💥 You won’t get bulky - (unless you want too). Instead, you’ll feel leaner, more confident, and more capable.

And if the gym feels intimidating? That’s exactly where Empower Fit steps in - safe, supportive, and completely tailored to YOU. 🫶

Feeling a bit off track? Let this be your reminder 💚

We all have those days (or weeks!) where motivation dips or life gets in the way - but that doesn’t mean you’ve failed. Sometimes, you just need a gentle nudge to remember how far you’ve come and what really matters.

Take a look at these reminders - save them, come back to them, and most of all, believe them. 💭

You don’t have to do everything perfectly. Just keep showing up for you, in whatever way that looks like today.

👇 Which reminder hits home for you today? Let me know in the comments or share it to your story if someone else needs to hear it too.

📣 “Should I cut carbs to lose weight?”
Ever Googled that at 10pm on a Sunday night? If so, you’re not alone.

There are so many diets out there that tell you to cut this or ban that - no bread, no pasta, no dairy, no fruit (yep, even fruit’s been dragged into it).

But here’s the thing:
✨ Cutting out entire food groups might get you quick results, but it’s rarely sustainable.
✨ It can lead to cravings, binges, low energy, and feeling like you've “failed” if you slip up.
✨ Worst of all - it can make food feel like the enemy.

At Empower Fit, we don’t do food guilt.
We don’t do extreme rules.
And we definitely don’t tell you to ditch your toast.

Instead, we help you:
✔ build balanced habits
✔ eat in a way that supports your goals
✔ and actually enjoy your food - yes, even the carbs!

💬 Ever tried a diet that told you to cut something out? How did that go?

Let’s chat about it in the comments 👇

It becomes obsession.

Let’s hear it for the wins - big and small 👏

Got through a workout you didn’t feel like doing?
Chose a walk instead of collapsing on the sofa?
Drank more water this week?
Managed to touch your toes for the first time in years?
That’s a win. And we want to celebrate it with you 💚

It doesn’t have to be big. It doesn’t have to be ‘impressive’.
If it mattered to you - it matters to us.

So let’s give those moments the recognition they deserve.

Drop your win in the comments or share a photo with us if you fancy 📸

Let’s cheer each other on - And you never know who might feel inspired just by hearing your story 💪

“Personal training? Me? I don’t think so…”

That’s exactly what one of my clients said the first time we chatted.

She pictured someone barking orders while she cried into her protein shake...
And she hadn’t set foot in a gym since the early 2010s.

But here’s what she didn’t expect:

🟢 That she wouldn’t have to do burpees (unless she wanted to)
🟢 That we’d laugh - a lot
🟢 That it’d feel like a proper catch-up, just with a few lunges thrown in
🟢 That she’d start to enjoy it… and even look forward to it
🟢 That her confidence would quietly grow, week by week
🟢 That she’d actually stick with it

Personal training at Empower Fit isn’t about six-packs and sad salads.

It’s about feeling good in your own skin, moving better, getting stronger - and making your health a priority without it taking over your life.

So if you've ever thought, “I’d love to start, but I’ve no idea where to begin”...
You’re exactly the kind of person I work with.

Let’s chat. No pressure. No judgment. Just a real conversation about where you’re at and how we can make things feel do-able 💚

☀️ With summer here and swimsuit season around the corner…
It’s that time of year when we start hearing it more and more:

❓“What can I do to get rid of my mum tum?”

If you’ve ever Googled ‘best ab workout’ before a holiday - you’re not alone. We all have those areas we’d love to tone up before slipping into a swimsuit.

But here’s the honest truth 👉 you can’t target fat loss in just one area. Doing crunches every day won’t magically flatten your tummy. (If only it were that simple!)

What does help:
✅ Moving regularly - find what you enjoy
✅ Building strength - not just abs, your whole body
✅ Supporting your energy & mood with food choices
✅ Managing stress and sleep (they play a huge part)
✅ Being patient and kind to yourself

That “mum tum” is often a mix of posture, core strength, hormones, life, and let’s be real - you grew a human. Your body deserves credit, not criticism.

If your goal is to feel stronger, more confident, and comfortable in your skin this summer - you’re already on the right path. 💛

Progress isn’t always loud or obvious.

Sometimes it’s quiet - just showing up, even when you don’t really feel like it.

Maybe it’s coming to class after a long day, or fitting in a few stretches at home when time’s tight.

It’s those little things that add up, even if they don’t feel like much in the moment.

You don’t have to sprint or be perfect. Honestly, all you need to do is keep putting one foot in front of the other. That’s what counts - consistency, not perfection.

So whether you’re in class with us, doing your own thing, or just taking a moment for yourself - you’re doing better than you realise. And that’s something to be proud of.

What’s one small thing you’ve done this week to take care of yourself? I’d love to hear - pop it in the comments and let’s cheer each other on!

IT’S THIS WEEK!!

Who’s coming? If so then please complete the form in our bio.

The first meet up in the Forest of Dean, Cinderford Miners Welfare Skate Park.
28th June 2025.
This will be a meet up point for people who are interested in getting together at the Cali park and having a play.
This is not a coaching session. It’s a space to come along and meet people but also come and share.
Everyone comes along and practices at their own risk.
We have guest coach Tim and also Dan to offer physio assessments.

You don’t have to decide if you’re coming now (you can just turn up on the day) but it would be great to get a feel in advance! It just helps us if we know.
This is an adult only meet up.

Come along and be part of the Forest of Deans first and only Calisthenics group.

Can’t wait to meet you!
