Small Moves = Big Impact

You don’t need a full-on gym session to move your body more or to help manage your blood sugar.

Just 2–5 minutes of movement every 30–60 minutes can make a big difference.

Why?
When you move, your muscles use glucose for fuel, helping to lower blood sugar levels and improving insulin sensitivity.

Try these quick breaks today:
• Stand up and stretch
• Walk around the room
• Go up and down the stairs
• March on the spot
• Do a few squats or calf raises

Your body doesn’t care if it’s “exercise” or just movement. It’s the movement itself that matters.

Consistency beats intensity for this one.

👉 Save this as a reminder: Next time you’ve been sitting for a while, take a quick movement break—your future self will thank you.

Struggling to lose belly fat — even when you’re eating well and training hard? 😩

Here’s the hidden reason that might be holding you back 👇

It’s not just about calories and workouts. Those still matter — A LOT!

But one thing many people overlook?
CHRONIC STRESS. 🧠💥😭

When your body’s stressed (from work, lack of sleep, under-eating, overtraining, life chaos), it pumps out cortisol, your stress hormone.
And consistently high cortisol can:

➡️ Increase belly fat storage
➡️ Spike cravings and emotional eating
➡️ Mess with your sleep and hormones
➡️ Slow recovery and muscle gain
➡️ Wreak havoc with digestion

💥 So yes — nutrition and movement are key.

But if your stress is high, your sleep is poor, and your nervous system is fried… your results may stall or feel harder to come by.

Here’s your fat loss formula:
✔️ Eat in a slight calorie deficit
✔️ Strength train + move often
✔️ Sleep 7–9 hours
✔️ Prioritise stress management (even 5 minutes a day)
✔️ Be kind to your body — not just hard on it

Your belly fat isn’t just about willpower. It’s about your whole nervous system.

How have we had 10 Father’s Days together? 🥹 — and

Every year I’m more grateful for the man you are. 💙

This year especially, you’ve carried so much — supporting your mum and dad through illness, showing up for everyone around you, and somehow still being present, patient, and full of love even when you’re utterly knackered.

You’re the most selfless, attentive, and caring man I know. The kids adore you. I adore you.

We are so lucky to call you ours.

Happy Father’s Day to the best there is. 💫

We’ve Signed the Lease – Triple X Performance Centre is officially Moving! 🥹🤩

We’re thrilled to announce that we are moving Triple X Performance Centre to a brand new home!

After months of deliberation, planning, negotiations, searching, and some big decisions, we’ve found the perfect space to take things to the next level — and we’ve officially signed the lease!

We believe this new site is exactly where we’re meant to be. It’s just half a mile from our current gym and offers:

• More space
• Better facilities
• Huge potential for our growing community

This isn’t just a new building — it’s the next chapter. One where we can learn from an amazing 8 years at Copley Mill and build something even more impactful, inclusive, and exciting for every one of you.

What happens next?

Over the next 6 weeks, we’ll be transitioning from Copley Mill and getting ready to open our brand new doors. Expect sneak peeks, behind-the-scenes updates, and opportunities to get involved along the way.

We’re beyond excited to bring you with us on this journey.

Here’s to bigger lifts, more classes, and a stronger community.

Let’s go!

💛🖤

Motherhood is the greatest blessing 🥹

A role I spent many years thinking I would never experience. It challenges us, teaches us, and fills your heart in ways nothing else can.

Being a mum puts everything into perspective and makes you pause and notice the little things that make life meaningful: the sleepy cuddles, the giggles that echo through the house, and the quiet “I love yous” that remind you that, no matter how long or how hard the days can be, it’s all worth it 🥰

Being a stepmum adds another layer to that love—one built on patience, trust, and the choice to love a child as your own. It’s knowing that love isn’t just about biology but about showing up, offering support, and creating a space where they feel safe and loved (and terrorised by their little sister).

I’m so grateful for the chance to wear both hats, to guide, nurture, and love in different but equally meaningful ways. It’s not always easy, but it is always worth it. To all the mums, stepmums, grans, aunties, childminders, and mother figures out there—your love, patience, and presence matter more than you know.

Happy Mother’s Day to every woman shaping a child’s world with love! 💕

Understanding the difference between motion and action can significantly impact your health journey.

Motion involves activities that keep you busy and make us feel like we’re making steps towards our goals but they don’t necessarily lead to results.

For example:
- Spending hours researching workout routines without ever starting one.
- Buying new gym gear with the intention to work out, but it sits unused or you do the school run in it.

Action, on the other hand, is about actually doing the things that will move you closer to your goals.

For example:
- Lacing up your trainers and going for a run.
- Using the gym membership and doing a session
- Preparing and enjoying a nutritious meal instead of browsing meal prep companies or recipes

Remember, it’s easy to get caught up in motion—the planning, researching, and buying. It makes us feel like we’re taking steps forward without the discomfort of actually doing it.

Don’t get me wrong some of this steps can help us to build momentum, to get us out of the starting block? But unless you follow them up with action, these steps themselves won’t bring you closer to your fitness goals.

Focus on actionable steps and habits that lead to real progress!

Unplanned rest days happen - life happens!

Today didn’t go as planned. My little girl wasn’t feeling well, and I had to pick her up early. That meant rearranging my diary, shifting my priorities, and taking an unplanned rest day from my own training.

And you know what? That’s okay 💕

Have I beat myself up, stressed myself out or sabotaged my healthy eating because I can’t train today? No!

Here’s the thing: life doesn’t always stick to our schedules, and as parents, we wear many hats.

Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is press pause, show up where you’re needed most, and embrace the flexibility.

If you’ve ever felt guilty about missing a workout or not sticking to a diet plan because of life’s curveballs, here are a few reminders I tell myself:

1️⃣ Your fitness journey is a marathon, not a sprint.
One missed workout or a day off plan won’t undo your progress—it’s consistency over time that counts.

2️⃣ Rest is productive.
Rest days allow your body to recover and come back stronger. Taking care of yourself (and your family) is part of the process.

3️⃣ Give yourself grace.
Showing up for your children, partner, or yourself when it’s needed most is a sign of strength, not weakness.

4️⃣ Adjust and move forward.
Tomorrow is a new day. If you missed today’s session, schedule it in later this week—or let it go. Don’t write the entire week off and remember your fitness goals will still be there when normality resumes.

Aiming for progress and shifting to healthier habits over time allows for flexibility, aiming for perfection doesn’t, it’s about balance. So, if you’ve had to reshuffle your priorities recently, remember: you’re doing your best, you can’t be everything to everyone all of the time and you are enough 💪

Oh and if you have coach who tells you to ‘make time’ when it it’s a genuine curve ball, and you’re probably already stressed enough, bin them off - my poorly child would come before the gym any day of the week 👋🏼🩷
