Yesterday I was chatting to one of my neighbours about his new job. When I asked how he was finding it, he replied, “It’s a job.” I asked if he was enjoying it and again he said, “It’s a job.”

I then said that I really love my job, and he replied, “You don’t have a job. You play.”

And honestly, that really annoyed me.

I do have a job. I’m paid to teach. I teach people how to exercise safely, how to build healthier habits, how to fuel their bodies better, and how to push beyond the comfort zones that have held them back for years.

Being a PT and group fitness instructor is far more than “playing.” I have to stay physically fit myself, work around injuries, learn routines, keep up with constantly evolving health and fitness research, understand trends, motivate people when they’re struggling, and stand in front of a room full of people with energy and positivity — even on days when I don’t necessarily feel my best myself.

Yes, I’m lucky enough to enjoy what I do and have fun doing it. But enjoying your work doesn’t make it any less of a profession, and passion doesn’t cancel out skill, effort, knowledge, or hard work.

And to be clear, I don’t think everyone has to love their job. For some people, a good job is one that feels manageable, pays the bills, and leaves them with the energy and freedom to enjoy the rest of their life — and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that either.

But please don’t dismiss someone else’s profession just because they happen to enjoy doing it.

8 years ago I posted this after trialling a wee small-group training class in my tiny studio… and it’s made me stop and think about everything that’s happened since.

I’ve been thinking about the people who were there right at the very start of my journey 10 years ago - in my very first class in Skelmorlie Community Centre, my first PT studio clients 8 years ago and my last studio clients in 2020. the people who’ve come and gone, and the amazing folk who are still showing up, still trusting me, still choosing to train with me.

Honestly, that means everything 🙏

I never take it for granted that people give me their time, their effort, and allow me to be a part of their journey. It’s such an honour. The support, loyalty and friendships that have come from this job mean so much to me.

I’m incredibly grateful for every single person who has walked through the doors over the years… whether it was for one class or the long haul ❤️

How nice is it to come out of the 6:15PM class and see daylight and hear the birds still twittering away?💕💕
Better days are coming…

This right here is what it’s all about 🙌

No shortcuts. No magic. Just showing up, putting in the work, and pushing past what you thought you could do.

These moments build confidence & strength. They build belief in yourself, and in what your body can really do.

I’m so proud of Joan for this 👏
Proof that progress comes when you stay consistent and keep going, even when it feels hard.

Who’s next to hit a new PR? 💪🔥
