It can be easy to forget stretching in our increasingly busy lives, even if you’re prioritising your exercise regime. However, the sedentary nature of our modern lifestyles mean that our bodies are prone to joint pain and stiffness. Accordingly, the benefits of stretching should not be ignored! Stretching is beneficial for increasing flexibility or range…

01 January, 2019 Well would you look at that! I’m making a geeky reference by using the old term “Press Start!” I’m so sneaky – being all video game orientated and fitness motivatory! So – It’s a new year and odds on if you are reading this – you are probably not happy about how…
20 February, 2018 My morning drive – It can go one of two ways. I have a pretty awesome run and I can get to work in like 15 minutes. Or It can be ruined by people who DO. NOT. KNOW. HOW. TO. DRIVE. Ugh.
31 December, 2017 It’s that time of year again, folks. By the time you read this, you’re likely IN the new year and woo hoo for that! Yay! Yes.. 2017 is now officially behind us and I think I might be one of the few who actually had a good 2017. Though that might be…
30 July, 2017 Such an obtuse question for an article title, hey? Though just to mess with you even more, say the title but also think of Basement Jaxx’s song “Where’s Your Head At” and suddenly you cannot escape it unless of course you don’t know the song or you’re too busy with the “Murder,…
By now many of you have seen in the news in the last few days the story regarding the personal trainer who apparently trained a first time client into the hospital. The news story obviously piqued my interest what with the talk of kidney damage so of course I have something to say on the…
14 March, 2017 Annnnd it’s that time of year again. The Biggest Loser is almost upon us and that effectively means we are about to see some “amazing” transformations in 8 weeks. Errgh.
7 March, 2017 Surprise! It’s Kidney Health Week! I know, I know.. like I needed to remind you all! It’s totally etched into your brain like your birthday is, like Christmas Day and Easter. No? Doesn’t ring a bell? At all?
18 February, 2017 Another year, another Hallmark Valentine’s Day. I like to think that you should show your significant other that you value and love them every day which ultimately makes Valentine’s Day a pointless exercise. Save for buying cards, flowers and chocolates. Giving gifts is nice and all but often certain indulgences are what…
5 January, 2017 Believe it or not, I wasn’t always a PT – I used to work an office job. I actually really enjoyed it too. The company I worked for looked after us and were keen to ensure we were all happy little worker bees doing our jobs. One of the tactics used was…
3 January, 2017 2017 is finally here. Personally I am most glad that 2016 is done and dusted. The body count seemed high, the world is in turmoil and yeah – that cancer thing happened. So as you can imagine, I am keen to get on with things and that’s the general vibe most people…
18 December, 2016 Q: Why semi-private, why not just 1 on 1 like most Personal Trainers? A: Your time is limited and so is ours. We do indeed conduct 1 on 1 sessions with clients but semi-private allows us to work more with the people who want to work with us while ensuring individual costs…

25 November, 2016 I am not a morning person. I’m really not. I’m not one of those grumpy people who cannot interact with others until coffee has happened or anything like that. I just know that I prefer my exercise in the afternoon/evening. For those of you who manage to wake up early to exercise,…
7 November, 2016 After months of wondering, our N7 week is FINALLY upon us! YAY!!! What is N7 Week you might ask? Well understanding what N7 means will help. To quote the interwebs:
