This is Steve, what an absolute hero.

Steve has trained with me for many years , Steve has always had a great attitude towards fitness and activity. Even back when he used to live and work in the City, he always believed in using the underground as little as possible, and walked as much of every journey as he possibly could…plus he is an all weather cyclist 💪

Since I took on Steve seven years ago, he has also introduced weights into the equation, once a week with me, and another on his own at home…. Plus also being very active at home in the garden, or during the recent extension.

However, due to a genetic issue, Steve faced a significant health challenge around 18 months ago. He survived due to his brilliant fitness foundation, has recovered, and come back with fantastic determination 💪💪

He has returned in the garden, on the bike, lots of travelling, walking, doing weights twice a week, has lost two stone and is looking absolutely fantastic 💪

Steve is a fantastic role model to how we should all approach life, it doesn’t matter how many times you get knocked down, it’s how you get up again 💪

Of course behind every great man there is an even greater woman, however I do believe Sarah deserves her own post in the near future!

Steve you are awesome, keep up the good work 💪💪

My dodgy driver and I, preparing to descend on the golf course, for my first sight impaired competition 💪

My dodgy driver, looks like a bit of a throwback to my tennis days… However with half a swing, and my slightly odd follow through, it does seem to go 200 ish straight… Say what you like, but that’s all I need for the competition 🤷 ha ha.

(definitely going to work on it this winter though….) ⛳️

I’m breeding some new security guards under the old unused Astroturf… 🐍 i’ve been told, and I’m certain they are grass snakes… But is anyone any wiser?

Join the team! Ness and I after our Wednesday leg day 💪

There is currently a space at the for another Personal Trainer, Sports Therapist, Physio, Osteopath or even someone not fitness related, who needs a spare room to operate their business from.

Reach out if you might be interested - extra info below:

It would be on a part time basis, the room is free Monday, Tuesday and Thursday - with the potential for more in the future.

I would prioritise anyone with a good existing client base - however I will be able to support with building your client base

If you are a trainer, I wouldn't be looking to introduce any more large classes as I share the drive. There is potential for you to run some of the existing classes (a combination of spin and circuits) although this isn’t a necessity.

Tag someone in the comments who might be interested!

Thought I would do a little post for mental health awareness week. Especially as I have noticed a large increase in the percentage of people affected particularly since Covid.

I do think it is a misconception that some people are 10/10 happy all the time, and others are 0/10 depressed/anxious.

I have had my battles myself, particularly around the time I found out about my sight loss and eye condition. I think all of us experience highs and lows, however I do believe in constantly trying to pre-program myself to try and be in the right mindset.

Things I do to help me…even if I don’t want to do them:

Exercise regularly & be as active as possible - doesn’t have to be running on a treadmill, it could be horse riding, dance, kayaking, if you pick something fun you enjoy….you will be more likely to keep it up 💪 (for me I really enjoy weights, started really enjoying running, and the social side of it. I have golf as a good active hobby again with a very good social side).

Try and get away from screens outside of work and be around nature, around friends and family. (I probably do less than one hour screen time outside of work per day, plus trying to reduce my hours to make more time to see my friends and family)

I try and be as consistent as I can with my sleep, despite working late and starting early. (I know if I get less than seven hours sleep per night, I start getting ill (cold/flu), so I set alarms to make sure I’m getting to bed early enough. I think it is one of the most important things for your head… Plus the more you exercise the deeper and better you sleep)

Eating good clean food, as little processing as possible, (eating as naturally as possible, a good ratio between protein/carbs/fats, plus this year I have 90% reduced my consumption of alcohol. Mainly due to 0% lager being so nice 🤷‍♂)

Ring fencing time for myself outside of work. (I don't do my 10pm finishes anymore, I try and make sure I’m at least done by 7:30 pm-ish, then don’t answer messages after 9 pm… and I’ve stopped training clients at the weekend).

I’m not saying this would fix everyone, these are just things I do to try and pre program myself to be in the right mindset.

Some of you may remember from a post a little while ago that Claire was doing the Three Peaks Challenge and collecting women’s underwear for women’s shelters.

Lots of people donate second-hand clothes to these organisations, but for obvious reasons, you can’t donate second-hand underwear. As a result, there’s a nationwide shortage — and this was the inspiration for the challenge.

I’m thrilled to say that all the ladies completed the challenge. This is what Claire had to say about it:

"We've raised over £10,000 in monetary donations and about 1,000 pairs of pants so far. It was really hard work — several falls and injuries on the way down."

Well done to Claire and the team and a big thank you to the Lakeside Fitness Community for the donations!

Beautiful mid spring views!
