“When do you get time to train?”
Honestly… I get asked this a lot.
People assume because I’m a personal trainer I’m in the gym all day working out.
But the truth?
I barely get to train as much as I used to.
When I played professional rugby, training was my job.
My days were built around workouts, recovery, nutrition, and rest.
Life revolved around peak performance.
Fast forward to now — life looks very different.
Running a business, coaching clients, raising a family, balancing life commitments and social stuff… time is limited.
Most weeks, I only get 2–3 proper sessions in. Some weeks, it’s just once.
But here’s what I’ve learned:
👉 When your time is limited, it becomes even more important to make the most of your workouts.
You don’t need 5 or 6 sessions a week to stay strong, mobile, and fit — but you DO need to be consistent with the time you do have.
When I train now, I train with purpose.
I lift smart, I push myself, and I don’t waste time.
I focus on quality over quantity.
I also stay on top of my nutrition the majority of the time.
Because what you do outside the gym matters just as much as what you do inside it.
So if you’re someone who’s juggling work, family, and everything in between… I get it.
You’re not lazy. You’re busy.
But even if it’s just 1 or 2 sessions a week — show up. Be intentional. Make them count.
It’s not about being perfect.
It’s about staying in the game — for life.
