The Who, What and Why of Oak Strength?

Strength is NEVER a weakness.

I am Emma Jane.
A 40+ female living and working in Gloucester.

Oak Strength exists to enable others' to find, discover, develop or expand their WHY in life.

Through either; a reduction in pain, increase in physical confidence, getting better range of motion, helping you to have the ability to do all daily tasks with ease, to be stronger than before, to have mental resilience or to physically do anything you dream of.

I hope to use Oak Strength; Sports Massage and Personal Training to release the best in each client;
Regardless of the current start point. Regardless of the goal, target or dream.
Regardless of the physical, psychological, emotional or health blockages or barriers that currently exist.

I hope to enable each and every client to begin, continue, or grow their journey onwards and strong-wards.
There are no downsides to being strong.

We get one body, one mind, one chance. You have make and take the chances, choose the next right thing for you, and make the very best of it. This is not easy.

The only thing you have from birth to the grave is your body. It is your transport module for your mind, conscience and sentience. It changes. It lets you down, it adjusts, it gets broken or malfunctions but it is yours. Make decisions daily to improve, maintain or help its longevity.

We may not always get the chance to live our dreams, but unless we build, or try... then we never will.

Oak Strength exists to assist you to better manage life physically and to help manage your body better, and hopefully clarify your WHY.

⚠️CLASSIC LONG WAFFLING EMMA POST YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED⚠️

So it is now the day after!

And yes, my hip flexors dislike the 2 flights of stairs in our house, and I have slightly annoyed the rear of my left knee. (Iced and resting it.)

But ZERO blisters or feet issues.
(Seriously when you get the right socks and boots combo it's amazing.)

Today I feel so VERY lucky and grateful, for so many things today. Here is my gratitude list.

1. The capacity, tenacity and resilience to sign up to an event... but then decide to bail (Thursday) the true event but set my own route (Friday) and complete it solo (Saturday). And complete it, minus the ease of Macmillan supplying the directional arrows (I can get lost in hotels and car parks) and no set rest/food stops and portapotties en route.
2. The mental awareness that it could be done (with luck) but that it wouldn't necessarily be a bundle of laughs all day. But I had the mental flex to know the tough bits were temporary and that I would be more grateful long term to complete it for the charity and to honour the donators of money to the charity.
3. The weather was extremely kind to me starting drizzly cool and only being sunny and hot for the final 1.5miles.
4. Gloucestershire is beautiful. Stunning scenery, dog walkers, canal volunteers, other walkers, runners and cyclists making the most of a July Saturday and the Gloucestershire paths and roads. Thank you to everyone I saw and who said 'Hello/Goodmorning/etc... (including Splatt Bridge staff, and the Copeland Park runner I encountered leaving the estate and we then crossed paths on the canal a bit later too.)
5. Being Sober. None of my current life, my marriage, my family/friends/clients, my hobbies, my health/strength/fitness would be what they are without my 8+ years Sobriety.
6. Undiagnosed but most likely AuDHD or whatever my brain functionality is. Because without me being me, none of the crazy s**t I have done, attempted, achieved or dreamed of in my 45years on Earth would have materialised.

And now my THANK YOU's...
Thank you firstly and foremostly to my husband Ritchie George for tolerating my crazy plans.
Secondly, to anyone who donated quids to MacMillan via JustGiving.
Thirdly to my clients Oak Strength Personal Training, my family and friends for putting up with my brain and it's bonkers-ness, you all know I'm nuts but accomodate it. Especially Tracy who was prepared to get up super early and drop me at the official hike start line in Stow. Thanks Tracy even if you didn't have to in the end, I know you would have.
Thanks also to Macmillan Cancer Support for introducing me to marathon length Hikes, at last year's WyeValley one, it was epic (sorry I couldn't make it to the Cotswolds Mighty Hike yesterday, I promise I did my bit to honour the money pledged.)

And finally... TO ME!
I did a thing, changed the plan, made it work for me, instead of ploughing through with something that may not have been as advantageous for my mental/physical health.

I can, I will and I do, my life my way.

TeamOakStrength (PersonalTraining Clients) are fundraising for Charlie's in honour of Team Member Patricia Juby turning an honourable 70 years young this month.
We have set separate challenges within Weightlifting, Walking, Cycling and Swimming, alongside a group LiftUp Event Day on Sunday 27th July as a group.

If anyone wants to join in, or can donate a few pennies to Charlies via our JustGiving page.
Charlie's help people in Gloucestershire affected by cancer, access FREE holistic therapies, advice, help and group activities. They did for Pat on her journey navigating cancer, and I spent nearly 3 years volunteering as part of their team of therapists. Incredible place with some wonderful opportunities for those touched by cancer in our local community.

Thank you.
Emma and
We are stronger together!
