💪Strength isn't about vanity.. It's essential for functioning well everyday.
📉Lack of strength & muscle mass causes a lot of physical & mental health problems - that can be avoided, prevented, managed &/or reversed.

😔Maybe you've noticed your posture is poor & you get general aches in your back, neck & shoulders?
It might be that you tried to lift or move something & it felt too heavy, you tried it anyway & paid the price!
You could feel that your energy is flagging & your motivation is reduced.
You look down & realise that you have weight gain around your midsection... dangerous visceral fat is increasing alongside subcutaneous fat...
Your muscle mass is low & it's knocking your confidence..
🧠 Scientific research says there are at least 25 long term health conditions
associated with low muscle/low strength within 4 major disease categories.
(Study by UK Biobank).
If you want to work on:
✔️ Increasing your strength
✔️ Improving your muscle mass
✔️ Extending your health & life span
🏋️ Strength Resistance Training is a solution.
⭐ I've been working with weights, teaching classes & running training events for over two decades.
You are in safe hands.
From beginners to anyone stuck looking to progress.
I can support & guide you.
🔬NHS Guidelines suggest 2/3 strength based sessions a week to maintain healthy function.
A fantastic aim & starting point..
Here are the current classes listed for you in the photo.
All pay as you go..
No memberships
Expert personal guidance

💪Preserve Muscle Mass & Lose Body Fat- Get Results Like Pam...👇 I followed Tracy’s Fat Loss Blueprint for 8 weeks & got brilliant results!
✅ Lost 10 lbs, preserved my muscle mass (feel stronger)
✅ Lost 3 inches from my hips & waist & 2 inches from my thighs.
✅ I’ve changed my body composition, habits & energy levels.
😁 I’m so happy & I can sustain it.
💖 At 55 I struggle to maintain my weight & trying to lose a few pounds is challenging!
Understanding where to start & what to do is empowering & motivating.
Thank you Tracy x
How many of you feel the same...
You just want to lose a few pounds, a little body fat, get stronger, maybe a dress size smaller & understand how to maintain it?
Pam Followed The Plan!
You can too.
Read Pam's own words- Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

🟥 Wake Up Moment
I arrived back from holiday feeling like I had overindulged, eating one cream tea too many & drinking wine every day. My clothes felt tight & I felt like I was swollen & not quite myself. Even though I was active & moving every day, I missed Tracy’s strength training.
The negative impact on my body composition was noticeable after a short period of not really making good choices.
🟥 Making a Conscious Choice to Change
Like many ladies of my age, (55), I struggle to maintain my weight & trying to lose a few pounds is challenging. I decided to look at Tracy’s Fat Loss Blueprint think consciously & follow it.
🟥 Sticking To It
To keep on track, I thought carefully about my food shopping to make sure I increased protein daily to the level I needed (I worked it out from Tracy’s equation from Protein 101 post)
I looked at the rest of my plate increasing salad & vegetables in place of rice, pasta & potatoes.
To create a calorie deficit, I removed bread & cut out sugary carbs. I also reduced coffee, replacing with herbal teas which seems to have helped my energy levels.
🟥 Results in 8 Weeks
Using Tracy’s Fat Loss Blueprint & doing 2/3 of Tracy’s Strength Classes a week has resulted in a weight loss of 10 lbs, losing 3 inches from my hips & waist & 2 inches from my thighs in 8 weeks.
It has got me back into a good routine. I don’t want to lose more weight.
I’m happy with my body composition, have more energy, better habits & I can sustain it.
Thanks so much, understanding where to start & what to do is empowering & motivating.

Not doing any Strength Resistance Training consistently with progressive overload?
Here's 3 Life-Changing, Science- Backed Reasons to Include Strength Training in your week..
🔥Burn Fat More Efficiently
Muscle is metabolically active tissue.
More muscle = higher resting metabolism = your body burns more calories, even at rest
Result-Fat Loss
💪 Reshape Your Body
Cardio burns calories- but strength resistance training changes your boy composition.
You lose fat, build lean muscle & sculpt a stronger physique.
🧠 Boost Healthspan & Brainpower
Strength Resistance Training improves longevity, fights aging, boosts brain health by increasing BDNF (brain derived neurotrophic factor). Strong body = strong mind.

👇I want to share this article with you from the Times Newspaper about Spinning (Indoor Cycling).🚴‍♂️
I have researched & put in the science to back up the claims they are making (which are pretty incredible).
Thank you to Suzie Fisher for sending it to me.
🚴‍♂️If you have never tried Indoor Cycling- Spinning, I encourage you to give it a go, for all the reasons listed below & at least another 10 benefits to your physical, mental, emotional & social health that aren’t featured in the article.
I started Teaching Spin in 2008.
It has been a game changer for so many people in classes & 1-1.
Here’s a few reasons why…
👩‍🔬Key Science-Backed Benefits of Spinning (Any Age)
1. Pain Relief & Improved Joint Function 🦴
A study by Bournemouth University & University Hospitals Dorset, funded by the NIHR & published in Lancet Rheumatology, compared weekly spinning plus brief educational sessions to standard physiotherapy in people aged early 40s to late 70s with hip/knee osteoarthritis. The spinning group—starting with 30-minute classes, building to 40 minutes—reported greater reductions in pain, better joint function, & boosted motivation to manage issues proactively.
A five-year follow-up found that nearly half had not returned to their GP, & 57% avoided joint replacement surgery, highlighting the long-term efficacy of spinning.
2. Low-Impact & High Calorie Burn🔥
Indoor cycling is lower impact than running or step aerobics, making it gentler on joints yet still highly effective. A 1997 study by the American Council on Exercise found that spinning burns 7.5 to 19 calories per minute, comparable to a 7 minute mile run, but without the joint stress.
3. Inclusive & Motivating Classes👲🤵🧑‍🍼🙆‍♀️👵
Spinning is highly inclusive: resistance & cadence are invisible to others, removing comparison pressure. Participants of all fitness levels—even those who haven’t exercised in years—feel welcomed.
The group setting fosters motivation, & even though session formats have evolved. The core appeal remains the same: a supportive environment where you control your pace.
4. Cardiovascular & Metabolic Gains💓
Spinning elevates heart rate into 75–96% of age predicted max, ideal for cardiovascular fitness.
A review in Medicina reported improvements in aerobic capacity, blood pressure, lipid profiles, & body composition—even when spinning was paired with other lifestyle changes.
5. Mental Health & Cognitive Benefits🧠
Although not deeply detailed in this article, other research cited therein supports spinning’s role in brain protection & cognitive health, adding to its cardiovascular & physical advantages. It increased dopamine, serotonin & other mood enhancing hormones.
6. Enhanced Hip/Knee Mobility through Continuous Motion🦵
Spinning mobilizes the hip joints regularly. As one hip pushes, it supports the weaker one, resulting in more movement “dose” than traditional physiotherapy exercises—60–100 revolutions per minute—which helps maintain mobility.
👏Ok if this makes you want to get on a bike & get going, I have a class for you.
From complete beginner, experienced, to athlete!

💪Why Does Increasing Your Muscle Strength Matter?
When your muscles don't have adequate strength you can experience so many problems with your physical health; increased body fat, weight gain & slow metabolism, weak muscles = poor posture leading to back, hip, knee & neck issues/pain, increased risk of injuries & falls, poor blood sugar control, joint pain, stiffness, low energy.....

The benefits of having stronger muscles are a major factor for aging well & physical & mental health...
Here's My Top 5 Benefits
1- Boosts Your Metabolism-
More muscle mass burns more calories & aids with fat loss goals & weight management.
2- Improved Insulin Sensitivity-
Helps regulate blood sugar & lowers the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
3- Joint Support-
Strong muscles protect joints & reduce the risk of injury or pain.
4- Better Bone Health-
Strength Training promotes increased bone density,
helping to prevent osteoporosis.
5- Slows The Aging Process-
Maintain your mobility, independence & quality of life.
Makes everyday activities easier, better posture, balance,
increases your ability to deal with stress, enhances speed, agility
& reaction times.
