We often get asked if it’s safe to resistance train during pregnancy.

Recent research says resistance training during pregnancy isn’t just safe… It’s genuinely beneficial.

Even though many guidelines barely mention strength work, newer studies show it can ease common symptoms like fatigue, back pain, and dips in mood.

It also helps with blood sugar control in gestational diabetes and supporting healthier long-term outcomes for the child.

Strength training can even increase the likelihood of a smoother delivery. And for the baby, it boosts uterine blood flow and supports healthier growth and cognitive development.

As with all forms of exercise, there are guidelines, such as anything that risks abdominal trauma, unstable/balance-heavy movements, and situations where you can’t regulate temperature.

When done appropriately, resistance training is a safe, effective way to stay healthy during pregnancy, for both mum and baby.

It was a pleasure speaking with you, Eman.

If you can speak with your friend and let me know any days/times that work best for you to come in for a consultation & it would be my pleasure to speak with you.

Kind regards,
Matthew

“I’ve been overweight almost all of my life”

Rafail a PhD student, he tried it all: CrossFit, dieticians, regular gyms, and online training.

Each promised the “full package,” but none delivered the results he wanted.

Frustrated and let down, he knew it was time for a smarter approach.

That’s when he found us.

At Pioneer Performance, we don’t just give you a plan: we build a project around your goals, timeline, and challenges.

It’s personalised, structured, and effective.

Rafail trusted the process, and now?

He’s lost 20kg of body fat and is living the fit, strong, confident life he dreamed of.

If you’ve been struggling to make the progress you know you deserve, then we can help.

But she refused to let it define her.

With the support, structure, and accountability at Pioneer Performance, Linda lost 13kg, rebuilt her strength, and found herself again.

We saw a problem with personal training.

Commercial gyms are too busy to give clients a proper 1-2-1 experience.
 Private gyms feel better, but often lack equipment and don’t let you train outside your sessions — meaning you need another membership just to do more.

So, we built the solution.

At Pioneer Performance, our clients get high-quality coaching in a private setting and access to our fully equipped facility outside their sessions.

No crowds. No confusion. No wasted memberships.

Just structure, support, and results — all in one place.

If you’ve been searching for something that actually works for you… you might’ve just found it.

Are you in the same spot as last year?

Time waits for no man (or woman).

Something we’ve noticed a lot over the years, people often inquire about getting started, but then don’t get the ball rolling.

Then, 1, 2, sometimes even 4 years later, they come back.
 Same goals. Same frustrations. Just a few more months or years down the line.

Sometimes, it’s just not the right time, and that’s fine.
 But more often than not, it’s the human nature of just putting things off.

We tell ourselves we’ll start when:
 – work calms down
 – the kids are older
 – life feels less hectic

But the truth is life rarely gets less hectic.

It just changes shape.

And while we wait for that “perfect time” - time keeps moving.

If you’ve been thinking about getting started, this is your sign.
 Because the best time to start will never feel perfect.

And you’ll never regret starting sooner.

“I’m 74 now… and I feel younger than I did 10 years ago.”

Before Alan started working with Pioneer Performance coach Finn, he’d already tried the gym on his own.

But instead of progress, he ended up with injuries, wasted time, and physio bills.

Like many people his age, he assumed aches, stiffness and slowing down were just part of getting older.

But working with Finn changed everything.

Now, at 74, Alan moves with confidence, has built real strength, and no longer fears falling or hurting himself.

His knees are stronger, his energy is up and he’s still out hiking hills while others his age are slowing down.

He sees the difference between those who train and those who don’t. And he’s made his choice.

This isn’t luck. It’s the result of showing up, putting in the work, and refusing to settle.

We’re proud of Alan — and he should be proud of himself too.

If you’re in your 60s or 70s, this is proof that it’s not too late.

You just need the right support.

From day one we make sure you’re matched with the coach who’s the best fit for your goals, your personality, and the support you need.

And we make sure you’re gaining confidence in the gym environment.

Our clients don’t need more motivation… they need a system that actually works.
 Because when life gets busy, motivation is the first thing to disappear, but structure keeps you moving.

And that’s exactly what Mel found when she came to us…

She was stuck in that cycle most people know far too well.

Trying loads of different things… nothing quite sticking long term… always feeling like she could nail training OR nutrition.

But never both at the same time.

Our Quayside location + the ease of training on her lunch breaks initially caught her eye.

But when she actually walked through the doors, she realised there was something different about this place.

“It’s honestly one of the nicest gyms I’ve trained in — clean, tidy and really welcoming.”

1:1 personal training finally gave her the support + accountability that actually suited her life.

“It’s tailored to you. Someone actually gets to know your strengths.”

She committed to two sessions a week — and this time… progress held.

Just over two stone down.
 Fitter. Stronger.
 And for the first time, she actually changed shape, not just weight.

“It just helps everything else fall into place.”

Mel’s been with us over a year now — and she’s still going, still progressing, still building.

This is exactly what happens when the environment matches the goal.

We’re incredibly proud of her. 💪
