MEMBER SUCCESS - The Better Body Studios

Meet MARK, (59) 💪🔥

Before joining us, Mark was:
❌ Struggling with his weight
❌ Feeling stiff, less mobile, and low on energy
❌ Doing lots of cardio that simply wasn’t working
❌ Carrying the classic “dad bod” — big belly, big chest, and growing frustration

Fast forward to now ⏊

✅ 13kg (over 2 stone) lost
✅ 18cm off his waist
✅ No dieting
✅ No extremes

What made the difference?
✔️ Our eating skills coaching
✔️ Stopping the snacking habit
✔️ Consistent functional strength training
✔️ Huge support from our community

And the best part?

He feels incredible…
….fitter, stronger, more mobile — and regularly gets comments on how great he looks and how good his energy is.

This is what happens when you stop chasing quick fixes and start doing the right things, consistently.

You’ve built the career.
You show up for your family.
You handle the pressure.
You get it done.

But somewhere along the way… you stopped being on your own priority list.

Training isn’t selfish.
Looking after your body isn’t indulgent.
Taking 45 minutes for yourself isn’t irresponsible.

It’s leadership.

IDK who needs to hear this but… it’s time you start putting yourself first.

If you’re ready to stop running on empty and start feeling strong again, DM “STRONGER26”.

Be honest…

How many times have you said:

“I’ll let you go ahead.”
“I’m fine… I’ll sit this one out.”
“I just don’t feel up to it today.”

It’s not just about weight.

It’s about skipping the long walk with your partner because you know you’ll need to stop halfway.

It’s turning down the activity holiday — even though you finally have the time.

It’s dreading the wedding photos… and secretly hoping you’re not tagged.

That’s not living fully.
That’s living restricted.

And eventually there’s a realisation:

You’re not actually stuck.
You’ve just been avoiding helping yourself.

The saddest part?

The memories don’t wait.

But there comes a moment where you decide you’re done:

Done sitting on the sidelines.
Done avoiding the camera.
Done feeling like you don’t have the energy.

Because you deserve to:

Feel comfortable in what you’re wearing.
Look back at photos with pride.
Say yes without hesitation.

Something has to change.

Maybe this is that moment.

If this felt personal… it probably is.

“Muscle weighs more than fat.”

You’ve probably heard that before.

Actually, it’s not true.

5lbs of muscle and 5lbs of fat weigh EXACTLY the same.

The difference?
Muscle is denser, so it takes up less space in your body.

Which is why women often say:
“I haven’t lost weight… but my clothes fit better.”

That’s body recomposition.
Less fat. More muscle. Smaller shape.

And here’s the truth for women …(and men )

You are not going to accidentally get bulky building muscle after 40.
Your hormones simply don’t support that.

Testosterone is lower.
Oestrogen is declining.
Muscle actually becomes harder to build every year.

Which means the real problem in midlife isn’t getting bulky.

It’s losing muscle.

And when that happens, metabolism slows, fat gain becomes easier, and your body starts to feel weaker.

Muscle isn’t the enemy.
It’s your metabolic insurance policy after 40.

That’s exactly what we focus on at Better Body Studios.

Helping men and women build strength, protect muscle, and train in a way that supports their body as they age.

Not chasing the scales.
Not crash diets.
Not endless cardio.

Just intelligent functional strength training that helps you feel stronger, move better, and look better in your clothes.

Because the real goal isn’t just losing weight.

It’s building a body that stays strong, capable, and resilient for life.

If you’re over 40 and want to build strength the right way, we can help.

The Better Body Studios - March Member of the Month

Amanda Reed, 60.

Another difficult month to choose a winner from all our awesome members. However Amanda wins for all her hard work, consistency and positivity

Amanda joined last summer after realising her she was losing fitness and strength and was gaining weight.

She knew something needed to change….but also knew she needed the right kind of support and accountability to stay consistent, so joining a normal gym was pointless.

After hearing good things from a friend who was already training with us, she decided to give it a go.

Since then, Amanda has made some brilliant progress.
She’s:

✅Dropped a dress size�✅Strength & Fitness through the roof�✅ A neck and shoulder problem disappear �✅ Built a consistent training routine

One of the biggest changes for Amanda has simply been showing up regularly and staying consistent, which is never easy.

She loves the studios No - Diet approach and working on habits instead. She’s never felt like she was on a ‘Diet’

What’s especially impressive is that strength training was completely new to Amanda when she started. Like many people, she felt a little nervous at first.

Now she’s going from ‘strength to strength’ (literally)
Amanda summed it up best when she said she now feels like she has a workable plan towards a healthier future, with lots of support.

Congratulations Amanda, very well deserved!

As we get older, a lot of people quietly start to believe their body is just going to decline.

They expect the stiffness.
The aches.
The grunt when getting off the sofa.

They start avoiding physical activities they used to enjoy.

And little by little, they accept feeling weaker as “just part of getting older.”

Here’s what’s worrying…

You’re planning for a retirement you might not even be able to enjoy.

Most people understand the power of investing money….

But they apply none of that thinking to their body.

Because the truth is, as we age we naturally lose muscle and mobility.
Add in modern life…. sitting for hours every day…. and that decline speeds up.

So while you’re planning for freedom later in life…

What good is financial freedom if you can’t walk up stairs?
What’s the point of saving for travel if you need help getting off the floor?
How will you enjoy retirement if you can’t stand without pain?

You’re financially planning for independence… but physically planning for dependence.

The good news?

Just like money, small consistent investments in your body compound over time.

That’s exactly why we focus on strength and mobility training in our studio….

Helping men and women build the muscle, movement, and resilience they need to stay strong, capable, and independent as they age.

Not quick fixes.
Training for life.

Most people over 40 don’t train in the right way.

If you’d like to see how we help people build real strength and mobility, send us a DM.

Fat Loss Jabs – Our View

Fat loss injections like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro are everywhere right now.

And for many people, they’ve been genuinely helpful.

They reduce cravings and quiet the food noise — which can make fat loss easier.

But they’re a tool, not the full solution.

If the habits underneath the weight loss don’t change, the results often don’t last.

Think of the jab as a bridge — while it helps, you build the real foundations:

Train consistently.
Eat with structure.
Create a lifestyle you can sustain.

The goal isn’t to rely on the jab forever.

The goal is to become someone who doesn’t need it.

If you want the results from the jab to last long term, the habits underneath matter most. We’re happy to help if you need it.

You know you need to exercise.
You know it’ll change your life.
But you’re unsure where to start…

So you stay comfortable.

Now imagine this…

You’re training with structure.
You have direction.
You’re building confidence every week.

The difference isn’t motivation.
It’s guidance + action.

Everyone loves the idea of the outcome.
But the path requires effort and sometimes discomfort.
And that’s where most people stop.

Don’t.

Get the guidance.
Take the action.
Build the momentum.

Your future self will thank you.

💬 “I’ve got my spark back… I haven’t felt this well in years.”

Meet Alan — 65, full-time key account manager, soon-to-be grandad.

Before he joined Better Body Studios, his health was heading downhill.
❌ No motivation
❌ Getting heavier
❌ Family worried about him

He said:

“I was worried I’d feel inadequate. That I’d look stupid or not be able to do it.”

But the difference now?

✅ Lost 2 stone
✅ 20cm off his waist, 12cm off his hips
✅ Fitter, stronger, more mobile
✅ And most importantly — proud of himself and excited for the future

“I never feel awkward coming along. Everyone’s positive and encouraging — it’s made a massive difference.”

His advice?

“Just do it. You won’t regret it — no matter your size, shape, or ability.”
“It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.”

Pilates vs strength training — which one should you actually be doing?

Pilates is great for:
✔️ Rehab
✔️ Posture and control
✔️ Low-impact movement

It helps you move better.
It builds confidence.
It’s often a brilliant place to start.

But if your goal is to:
• Build and keep strength
• Tone up and look better in your clothes
• Protect your bones and joints
• Feel confident lifting, carrying, squatting
• Stay strong as you age

👉 Pilates alone usually isn’t enough.

As we get older, muscle and bone loss become the real problem — and those don’t improve without progressive resistance.

That’s where strength training comes in.

Pilates helps you move well.
Strength training helps you stay strong.

If you’re doing Pilates and still don’t feel as strong, capable, or confident as you’d like…
This might be the missing piece.

Thinking about adding strength training to what you’re already doing?
Send us a message and we’ll talk you through how it could work for you.

For most beginners… the commercial gym isn’t exciting.
It’s intimidating.

You walk in and see:
• The guy who looks like he lives there
• The woman who knows exactly what she’s doing
• Groups training confidently together

And then there’s you.

Unsure.
Second-guessing yourself.
Feeling silly asking how to adjust a machine.

You worry you look stupid.
You feel watched.
Maybe even laughed at.

So you stick to what feels safe:
A few random machines.
A bit of cardio.
No real structure.

And when results don’t come?

You disappear.

That’s why starting with support matters.

In the right environment:
✔ You’re coached — not judged
✔ You’re guided step-by-step
✔ You’re encouraged
✔ You’re corrected safely

Confidence isn’t built in the deep end.
It’s built behind closed doors, with proper coaching and support.

Start where you feel safe.
Grow.
And one day, you’ll walk into any gym like you belong.

Because you will.

Drop “START” in the comments or send us a DM
and we’ll talk you through the easiest, safest way to begin.
