Personal Trainer 🏋️‍♀️ Ex Pro Rugby Player 🏉 Helping my clients Move Better and Train Smarter 💪

24/09/2025

9 years ago … ⏳
September 2016 — my final rugby game 🏉
Wakefield 🔵 vs my hometown club St Helens 🔴

Time has flown, but the lessons from rugby never leave you:
🔥 Dedication
🤝 Teamwork
💪 Hard work
🔁 Consistency
🙌 Friendships
⚡️ Resilience
✨ And the pure fun of the game

Being a professional rugby player shaped me into who I am today — on and off the field. Grateful for the journey, the people, and the memories 🙏

Sleep = Gains 💤💪
One bad night’s sleep can throw your whole system off.
Studies show muscle-building slows down, cortisol (your stress hormone) shoots up, and testosterone takes a hit—basically the opposite of what we want for recovery and growth.

When we’re short on sleep our hormones get out of sync:
⚡ Cortisol stays high → more muscle breakdown
⚡ Testosterone & growth hormones drop → less muscle repair

I’m the first to admit my own sleep takes a knock with late-night PT work… and sometimes little Arthur decides 3 a.m. is night-terror time (cheers mate 🤣).
But I still do my best to prioritise a solid night’s rest whenever I can, because recovery is just as important as training.

Move well. Train hard. Sleep harder.

Why Mobility Comes First

We all want to get stronger, but strength without mobility is like a high-powered car with stiff steering—plenty of horsepower, but limited control. Tight hips, shoulders, or a rigid spine make it hard to reach safe, powerful lifting positions. Over time, that lack of range slows progress, encourages poor movement patterns, and raises the risk of injury.

Mobility isn’t about performing circus tricks or spending hours stretching. It’s about creating enough freedom in your joints so you can move well, lift well, and keep your body resilient for years to come.

Make Excuses to Train, Not Excuses to Skip 💪

The difference between people who see results and those who don’t isn’t talent, luck, or time — it’s consistency.
Too many people waste energy coming up with reasons not to train:
❌ “I’m too busy.”
❌ “I’m too tired.”
❌ “I’ll start next week.”

But the truth is, your health should never come second. Prioritising your body and fitness isn’t selfish — it’s the foundation that allows you to live better, feel better, and show up stronger in every other area of life.

👉 Busy day? Even 20–30 minutes is enough to move the needle.
👉 Tired? Training will boost your energy, not drain it.
👉 Lacking motivation? Think about why you started and how good you’ll feel after.

The workout you nearly skipped is often the one that matters most. Stop making excuses, start making progress. Your body will thank you.

Health is Wealth. 🔑
