Joy here 👋

I’m not going to tell you to start prepping meals, get 10k steps a day, or launch into a brand new routine now that the kids are back to school.

Because as a parent myselfI know that never works for me or our clients here.

When you’re already juggling the emotional load of your house, getting kids settled, figuring out new schedules, and just trying to get through the day — adding more pressure doesn’t help.

Here’s the thing:
Behavioural science tells us that during transition periods, our nervous system is already under stress. That means willpower drops, decision fatigue increases, and we’re far more likely to fall back into old patterns.

So when every gym is shouting “KICKSTART!” or “GET BACK ON TRACK!” — you’re not lazy for feeling overwhelmed.
You’re human.

That’s why our advice right now is different:
🧠 Start small. Think gentle.
💙 Get the kids settled first.
🌿 Spend time outside not just for fitness, but for headspace.
📓 Don’t feel under pressure commit to a full routine on your own...Just notice what your body needs and what support you need.

Once the noise settles and you have the right support, your nervous system calms, then you’ll be able to choose a routine that feels manageable and sustainable.

That’s what we help you do in here. We don’t pile more on top. We walk with you until you feel strong enough to take the next step!

If this time of year feels heavy, it’s not just you. Slow down. Breathe.Come back to yourself first.

We’ll be here when you’re ready 🚀

When Eimer first came through the doors, she was unsure, nervous, and hadn't trained in a long time. Like a lot of people, she thought she’d lost her way with fitness and didn’t know where or how to start again. Most gyms felt alien to her and not her place where she could feel comfortable!

But with the support of our coaches, she found her feet. Session by session, her confidence grew. Her strength came back and so did her energy.

Now she’s showing up each week, not just for the gym but more importantly for herself.

Because sometimes all you need is the right environment, the right people, and a bit of support to remind you what you’re capable of!

Because most gyms just focus on workouts and calories >
but if that’s all it took, most people wouldn’t feel stuck, tired, or frustrated.

The truth is… what works for the short term rarely works for the long term for people 40+.

Most gyms will..
✖️ Smash you in workouts → You burn out, lose motivation, or pick up niggles.
✖️ Focus on weight loss only → You tie your success to a number that never feels enough.
✖️ No support beyond the gym → Life gets busy, and you’re left trying to hold it all together alone.
✖️ One-size-fits-all → But your goals, your life, and your struggles aren’t the same as anyone else’s.

That’s not how lasting change happens. Here at DGC...

✔️ We build real strength → So you can move well, feel strong, and stay active for years to come.
✔️ We help your mindset → So you build the habits, confidence, and energy to keep showing up.
✔️ We coach your whole life, not just the hour you’re in the gym → Because energy, sleep, food, and stress all matter.
✔️ We meet you where you’re at → No pressure to be perfect, just support to keep improving.

The goal isn’t to be the fittest person in the room. It’s to feel strong in your body, clear in your mind, and capable in your life.

That’s what we care about.

Because Life is for Living and we want to help you live it to your best!

It’s never just about the workouts.

This weekend we’re heading off on yearly retreat something to bring people together, step outside the walls of the gym, and build the kind of community that lasts beyond sessions and sets.

We throw in challenges, team stuff, laughs, plenty of fresh air… but what it’s really about is reminding people what they’re capable of. Stepping out of comfort zones, backing each other when it gets tough, and realising you’re part of something bigger than yourself.

Because for us, it’s simple — Life is for Living. And this is how we do it.

Not just a gym. A community where people grow, together.

If that’s something you want to be part of, drop us a message and we’ll chat about what’s next.

WHY I BECAME A MENOPAUSE COACH

This is WAY OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE BUT > I want to help people going through menopause so I know I need to do push thorough it!!

I wanted to share something personal with you.

When I first started going through menopause, I felt completely lost. Sleep was wrecked. My energy dropped. I didn’t feel like myself physically, emotionally, mentally.

And the worst part? I thought I was just meant to “get on with it.” Because life was so busy, trying to juggle so much, bringing the kids everywhere, I'd feel like I hadn't time to "not get on with it"

But I didn’t want to just survive it. I wanted to understand it, take back some control, and feel like me again.

That’s why I became a menopause coach not to preach, but to walk this road with other women who feel like they’re slipping through the cracks.

If that’s you right now, I see you. You’re not mad. You’re not broken. And you’re definitely not alone!

Gyms can be intimidating. The weight floor even more so. Most people don’t get the support they need as they’re left guessing, watching others, or avoiding it altogether.

Our 6-week Learn to Lift program is built differently.
It’s designed for people who want to move better, get stronger, and feel more confident for life. Not just for looks.

This is about strength that carries into your everyday. Longevity. Quality of life. Energy that lasts.

No pressure. No egos. Just real coaching, real people, and real results.

Some of this crew would’ve laughed at the thought of doing Hell & Back a few months ago… but they showed up, stuck together, and got through it!

The buzz and belief after it is something special and shows you what can be done when you have the right environment around you!

We are super proud of every one on the team 👊

“I used to hate gyms… now I can’t imagine my week without it.”

You’ll hear those words a lot in our community, because for many of our members, this isn’t just a gym. It’s the first time they’ve actually felt comfortable in one.

No pressure. No egos. No mirrors shouting at you. Just real support, friendly faces, and coaching that meets you where you’re at.

We get that walking into a gym can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve been made to feel like you don’t belong. But here? You absolutely do.

Our sessions are built to help you move better, feel better, and grow your confidence, not just your fitness. And it’s never too late to start!
