When I first stepped into the free weights area of a gym, I’ll be honest, I was terrified!

It was a while ago now but I remember that it took years for me to develop the courage to regularly enter this part of the gym..

Even now, I feel uncomfortable in free weights areas when it’s too busy, not through fear of judgment but because of how hectic it can get..

So I can appreciate how most people who want to learn to lift weights feel..

❌ ‘Am I doing this right?’

❌ ‘Do I look stupid?’

❌ ‘Everyone must be watching me.’

The truth? Nobody was watching. Everyone was too busy worrying about themselves..

And relatively few actually invest in learning how to do it safely and effectively.

And that’s when it clicked: the only judgment that matters is my own..

That mindset shift changed everything. It gave me the freedom to learn, to fail, to grow; and eventually to lead..

It’s why I set up Strong For Life - to provide a semi-private free weights focused facility for people to learn and supported..

A place where there are other beginners learning and progressing with a coach..

You’re not alone, and you don’t have to stay stuck there 💪

The gym isn’t just about building muscle..

It’s about building resilience..

Every rep, every set..

It’s training for the real world..

When life gets stressful at work, the discipline you build in the gym carries you through..

When energy is low at home, strength training gives you the fuel to show up for your family..

When self-doubt creeps in, the proof is in the weight you just lifted. You are capable of more than you think..

That’s why my clients don’t just get stronger in the gym..

They get stronger for life..

And that’s the real goal of coaching..

Not just a better body, but a better YOU..

If you’re ready to build strength that lasts a lifetime, let’s talk. Drop a DM and let me know why you want to get stronger 💪

In the modern world of sedentary living and calorie-dense, easy to access food..

It has become “normal” for us to have low energy levels..

It doesn’t seem like there’s a problem because we’ve become accustomed to feeling tired and drained all of the time..

Here’s the thing..

All of my clients report significantly increased energy levels since they started working with me..

That’s because they started moving, building strength and fitness; and improved their nutrition and lifestyles overalls..

They learn about the importance of stress management and continually work on prioritising their own needs for rest and relaxation..

Rather than this being seen as a waste of time, it actually allows them to come back to work, the gym, their families etc; with MORE energy..

And higher levels of performance too..

Training in a structured, consistent and progressive manner boosts energy, confidence and mood massively..

Starting in the gym shouldn’t just be about losing weight, it’s all about long term fitness, energy, mood, confidence and health..

If you need help starting, drop a ⚡️ in my DMs.

Many think confidence comes from how they look in the mirror..

Now whilst this can be true to a point, real underlying confidence is built through the actions we take to transform ourselves..

Not only physically, but mentally too..

It’s built every time you:

✅ Show up when you don’t feel like it..

✅ Push through discomfort when it would be easier to quit..

✅ Prove to yourself that you’re capable of more than you believed..

That’s why my clients don’t just change their bodies. They change their lives..

They walk and behave differently to most..

They speak with more conviction at work, they feel comfortable in their own skin in relationships..
.and they show up as stronger role models for their families..

This is what I coach — not just sets and reps, but transformation..

Because true strength isn’t just physical. It’s mental, emotional, and personal..

⚡ If you’re ready to build more than muscle..

If you’re ready to build true confidence that carries into every area of your life, send a DM..

Your future self will thank you 💪

Some photos from inside and outside of the gym this August 👀

Bit of golf, padel and tennis for myself..

Celebrated a friend’s 40th, and another friend’s wedding.. big milestone events I’m delighted to have been a part of..

We’ve known each other since were kids and it’s great that we stay in touch and share big events together still..

We had ITV come down to the gym..

We’re continuing on our mission to help transform not only the bodies, but lives of our community..

Check out the work that Husein and Gavin have been putting in this year! 😳

August is one of the quietest months, with many on holidays and shifting their priorities to family and outdoor events..

But we’ve still had a core group of people who have stayed consistent throughout..

September is usually a time where many revisit their health and fitness goals..

With 2/3 of the year done, many want to finish the last bits of the year strongly..

If you need help with this and are ready to prioritise your health and fitness, let me know 💪👊

Client testimonial:

“Being a Managing Director, a Dad, and staying healthy isn’t about luck, it’s about priorities.

Strength training and running aren’t just workouts for me, they’re the foundation for clearer thinking, stronger leadership, and better energy for my family.

The truth is, you don’t “find” time for your health, you make it.

At this stage in life, being fit isn’t just about performance in the gym or on the road..

It’s about showing up fully at work, at home, and everywhere in between.

Huge thanks to Sam Young at Strong for Life for keeping me on track. Having the right coach and accountability is a game-changer.

If you’re leading a business, raising a family, or both, make your health non-negotiable. The return on investment is immeasurable.

Strong body. Strong mind. Strong leadership”.
