plan your training, gym routines, hiit, circuits and track workouts. Your fitness is a choice, you choose to take part or not

I've always loved the fitness industry, taking in all aspects of it like a sponge. So if i get to share that knowledge with others, well thats what All PTs should want. A client so impressed with their new found confidence that they spread the word of your service. Thats success...

Clive training at 6am 💪

Leg session was brilliant.
Turned up early, put the work in, and gave maximum effort.

That’s how progress is made. 👊

Last night these two turned up and absolutely smashed it. A bit windy, a bit cold — but they showed up, got the work done, and did brilliantly.

It’s always the same: once you’ve trained, you feel better. Sometimes your head makes it bigger than it needs to be, so you put it off. But they didn’t. They turned up and got it done.

Massively proud of them both. Well done, you two 💪

With the way the world is now, kids love computer games.
Most of them do.

Getting kids outside to play is important — but let’s be real, for some parents that isn’t always easy.

My little boy loves football and sport, so getting him moving isn’t hard.
But when I took him to an immersive game box experience?

He absolutely loved it.

I was sweating my t**s off 😂
He had the best time.

And that’s when it clicked.

🎮➡️🏃‍♂️ This is a fitness cheat code — especially for kids.

These immersive gaming experiences get kids moving, reacting, jumping and sweating — without them even realising they’re exercising.

Adults too, by the way — but mainly kids.

Immersive Gamebox is a great entry point.
Sandbox VR is a whole different level.

If your kid loves gaming, this is where gaming meets movement.

Fitness cheat code for kids (and adults).
Worth trying.

🔹 Sandbox VR — London & Birmingham
🔹 Immersive Gamebox — London & Essex
🔹 Active Reality — UK Leisure VR Play
🔹 nDreams — VR Game Developer (Hampshire)
🔹 UNIT9 — Interactive & Immersive Tech (London)

Sometimes fitness doesn’t look like a gym.
Sometimes it looks like a game 🎮💥

Only serious answers on this one.
Funny is fine — but anything stupid, rude, or pointless is getting deleted straight away.
I’m genuinely interested: what does fitness and keeping fit mean to YOU?

Thank you!

Here’s something I’ve realised…

When people think about “the future,” they think pensions, savings, mortgages — all the financial stuff.
But almost no one thinks about the thing that will matter more than anything later in life:

Your body. Your strength. Your ability to move without pain.

And the tough truth?
You can’t make anyone care about that.
When life gets busy or stressful, fitness is the first thing people drop — like it’s some optional extra, lumped in with haircuts and luxuries.

But it isn’t a luxury.
It’s literally the foundation of your future quality of life.

Training isn’t just for looking good.
It’s for making sure you can climb stairs without gasping.
It’s for keeping your hips, knees and back working in your 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond.
It’s for avoiding the problems inactivity brings — weaker bones, migraines, mobility issues, chronic aches, and the slow loss of independence.

I’ve got a condition that can make my bones brittle — that’s real.
But strength training has helped me fight back.
Not cured it… but strengthened me. Given me control. Given me a future that would’ve looked very different if I’d done nothing.

That’s why I train.
And that’s why I want people to understand this:

Your future self won’t thank your haircut.
But they will thank every rep, every walk, every session you didn’t skip.

Fitness isn’t about now.
It’s about later.
And the work you do today is the difference between simply getting older… and actually living with strength, freedom and independence.

Think about that…. And if you’ve got this far Share it!!

Thank you!!!
