Over 80% of 'injuries' may be completely asymptomatic (do not cause pain, discomfort or obvious dysfunction)...but for how long??? How do you know if you are close to reaching a threshold for problems? At Fitcure we believe prevention to be better that the cure so specialise in 'pre'-habilitation and corrective exercise to give us the resilience to remain pain and injury free. So, in addition to our offer of a FREE &shred, or class, at Fitcure you can now also take advantage of a FREE Insights session including Consultation, Postural Analysis and Functional Movement assessment (worth £50).

Hello, peeps…and a happy new year! It is that time of year again when - en masse- we begin to make those big health/fitness changes. For many, this will mean investing time, energy and MONEY in the support of a Personal Trainer. Now, as many (if not all) of you know, I have worked in fitness for about 15 years and have developed some (VERY STRONG!) opinions on what I think Personal Training/Coaching/Instructing should and shouldn’t ‘look’ like in terms of quality of delivery, content, professionalism etc. However- as most of you will also have a view/insight- I would like to canvas for thoughts on what poor traits/behaviours you have seen or experienced in respect of PT’s in action….fire away!!!

As much as gender is somewhat of a sliding scale (hormonally...and otherwise), generally, women do not have the hormonal (anabolic/muscle building) potential to create large increases in muscle mass -certainly in the early stages when strength increases are due, primarily to neural adaptations- from weight training.

What is likely to be GAINED, though, is greater muscle 'tone', improved posture (helping us look and feel 'taller' and more confident), increased ability to lose body fat/manage weight, increases in self esteem from mastering new skills......plus an endless amount of variety to add to your fitness repertoire.

I you want to know more about what weight training can offer you and/or would like to reap the rewards in 2022, feel free to drop me a message.

Not had chance to spread the word to date but its been great to be reunited with my friend/colleague Tom Higo (who is THE most knowledgeable PT I know!) and offer my services at Fitcure - Bramhope.

Masses of diversity in clients and their very specific needs....I am really excited and honoured to be part of the professional team and support its growth.

If you are in need of an 'overhaul' and would like a chat, drop me a DM or you can book via: https://bookus.page/Fitcure/Scott

I also remain available PROfit28 - Farsley and have a few slots remaining....

15 years in fitness and my anatomical doodles have got NO better😆. Having said that; pictures paint a thousand words (this sketch taken from my PT tablet from my session with RV) so it is often useful to illustrate to a client the technique cues you are talking about...

Despite the lack of artistry, this one is all about range of motion (ROM) and shows- as much as we want to maximise the amplitude/range of a movement- we shouldn’t embellish it beyond the prescribed technique framework. In this exercise, a lot of people attempt a ‘reach’ that is past the point that the core-brace, neutral spine and soft knee angle can be maintained: Losing the core and neutral spine, specifically, leaves the lumber (lower back) exposed to increased stresses and a propensity for injury as it moves into flexion…

If you need some input regarding safe and effective training technique, feel free to drop me a dm...

Not only do 'small' details hamper performance in the gym, they can massively detract from weight loss in terms of diurnal hormone imbalances and the possibility of dysphoria (def. a state of unease or generalized dissatisfaction with life) during the day which can lead to seeking energy-rich foods...hmmm
