Most people don’t struggle with knowing what to eat. They struggle making the right decisions when life gets busy, you’re tired, stressed, in a rush and nothing is ready to grab.

Batch cooking or meal prepping isn’t about being “that person” who always eats boring meals out of Tupperware. It’s about making your week easier and giving you less decisions to make when you’re on the go.

In literally 60-90 minutes on a weekend you could set yourself up for a much better week by batch cooking some of the basics. You can mix and match and add seasonings later.

You can get more tips like this in my Nutrition Starter Kit or if you need more support and accountability I have some limited spaces on my coaching programme.

The hang sn**ch isn’t just a great a beginner version of the sn**ch — it’s also a precision tool.

By starting above the floor we strip the lift back to the parts that matter most:

✔ keeping the bar close
✔ using the legs to create speed
✔ learning to pull under with intent
✔ owning strong positions through the hip and mid-thigh

For a lot of athletes, the floor adds complexity before they’re ready for it. The hang lets us build power and timing without unnecessary fatigue — which means better quality reps and healthier shoulders, backs and knees long term.

Master the hang → the full sn**ch gets better as a by-product.

If you’ve ever felt rushed, out of position, or like the bar “gets away” from you, this is usually where we usually fix most of what’s going wrong.

Questions about your hang sn**ch? We’ll happily take a look 👇

Wishing the very best of luck tomorrow at the IMMAF European MMA Championships in Belgrade 🇷🇸💪

Sport can be an incredible thing for young people — building confidence, discipline, resilience and community. It can shape identity in the best possible way.

But it can also be pressurising and stressful, especially in weight-category sports, where performance, expectations and body weight can all collide.

I work with young athletes right through to international level. I don’t promote weight cutting in developing athletes — but I also understand that in elite pathways, weight categories can sometimes be part of the sport.

That’s where responsibility matters.

For young athletes, the priority should always be:

• health
• growth & development
• performance
• a positive relationship with food
• long-term progress

Not fear. Not restriction. Not suffering to make a number.

If weight categories are involved, the goal should be growing into the right category over time, not shrinking into one for a single event.

Enya is an absolute pleasure to work with. She’s becoming quite the chef, learning how she can make her own tasty recipes such as bangers and mash but still fuelling herself well and not having any huge ‘making weight’ stresses.

Good luck, Enya — go enjoy the experience and show what you can do.

Strong > small. Always.

So many people think they’ll feel confident, motivated, happy once they “get there”…

But the feeling actually comes from being in motion.
From choosing a direction.

From starting.
From staying in the process. 💛

You don’t have to feel overwhelmed by how far you have to go because you’ll feel better as soon as you start taking steps.

Take a step forward ⏩

I’ve been doing this long enough to know that good nutrition doesn’t come from being extreme — it comes from being consistent.

I don’t eat perfectly.
I don’t track forever.
I don’t avoid foods I enjoy.
I live a real life.

And I definitely don’t believe you need to suffer to be lean, strong, or healthy — especially in your 40s.

What I do focus on is:
• eating enough to train well
• keeping things simple
• building habits that actually fit real life

Because if it only works when life is calm and you’re fully motivated… then it’s not a great plan.

If you’re tired of feeling like you’re “doing it wrong”, or making a tonne of sacrifices, this is your reminder:
you probably don’t need more rules — you need. Little more structure, guidance, accountability and reassurance.

Save this if it helped 💛

We’ve shared many chapters over the years with hopefully many more to come! Kelly has also had lots of hair changes 🤣

Today marks the end (kind of) our most recent one as Kelly leaves her coaching role with us to pursue a new career in public health.

It’s been an absolute pleasure having you on the team and we’d have you back in a heartbeat. You’ve been such a breath of fresh air and bringer of positive vibes (and dance moves 🤣).

It’s not goodbye as such as we know you’ll still be a big part of our lives and community but we wish you the very best of luck in your new role.

Go and smash it 💛🖤

Double unders not quite there yet? That’s okay.
They’re a skill — not a requirement for getting fit.

These were one of the movement in today’s workout and it is very often an exercise that is modified for lots of members and it becomes one of those must have skills that people really want to master (eventually).

Here are some simple double-under modifications that we use so our members can:
✔️ Keep the heart rate up
✔️ Build coordination + timing
✔️ Progress safely (without frustration)

Remember: scaling isn’t stepping back or failure — it’s choosing the right challenge for today and tailoring the session to you.

Master the basics, build confidence, and the doubles will come 💪

Save this for your next workout & share it with someone who avoids DUs like the plague 🤣

Some great little snaps from the Northern Masters Weightlifting Open.

I didn’t step on the platform prepared or chasing numbers this time, I just wanted to lift with my team and see if I could get the spark back.

The strength wasn’t where it’s been before, but the support was as strong as ever 💛🖤

Absolutely loved seeing some of our lifters up there for the first time, some others returning to the platform after a break and the wider Masters community. No matter what club you represent we are one big supportive community who genuinely want to see each other do well.

I somehow managed to come away with 3 x British Masters records without even knowing and a lot more fire in my belly for an epic 2026.

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.
