Barrie Holmes Personal Training and Nutritional Advice.

24/01/2026

This year I would like to introduce some of my amazing team to you all. Some attend my classes, others get put through their paces with a one on one 'Personal Training' session. Others take on my Nutritional plans and assessments.

This is their story, the journey, the legacy and inspirational path they have taken with me.

First up, the wonderful Margaret Meredith or as I like to call her 'The 'Masher" This amazing lady has some mobility issues and has had limited success with conventional therapies, so she gave me a chance and we have never looked back. An great example of what can be achieved with belief, desire and raw motivation.

The training we do is fab- full of energy, fun, laughter and few 'Christopher Columbus'moments. We concentrate on some demanding sitdown workout routines that challenge Mashers strength and endurance. Always enthusiastic and hardworking, she is testimony to what steely determination can achieve. At the end of every session we don the gloves and pads and float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. Boy can this lady bash!

I'm immensely proud to have her as a client and a true friend. We have some incredible chats and I love turning up every week. Be proud of what you do, keep the fighting spirit going and here's to more bashings with the Basher going forward.

What a performance from these fine ladies this morning at Cardio Mayhem. 30 minutes of intense training that pushed those boundaries and tested those energy systems to the max.

Combining speedwork, agility fundamentals, explosive power anaerobic and aerobic capacity drills this lot are always game. Whatever I throw at them, they hit the mark week after week.

Proud to call them The Chief's Angels. Fiercely committed, high focussed, loyal and dedicated to improving their athletic performance- They are an integral cog in the A Team- fit, strong and powerful. Keep it up ladies, you bring a smile to my face weekly.

Every Tuesday we push the barriers to new heights, with unique principles of sport science through tough and rigorous training exercises.

If you are bored of pounding that pavement or the monotony of the same old gym routine then join an incredible team on a never ending journey of success.
