| September 18, 2020 | 0 comments

The announcement of a nation-wide lockdown on 21st March 2020 and, along with it, the closure of gyms, came as a massive shock to many. While we were all aware of its necessity to safe lives and combat the threat of Covid-19, it still hit us hard. Regular gym-goers were left with a pretty big

So, how are you holding up? Go on, be honest. I will fully admit that the last few weeks have been tougher than I could have imagined. Trying to find and adjust to our new ‘norm’ as a family has been a voyage of discovery to put it mildly. First time home schooling whilst working,

For years now, adults have been advised to avoid sustained periods of sitting down in everyday life. We’ve long been told about the negative associations if we go against this advice; potential weight gain, increased risk of diabetes, lack of mobility etc. Do as many adults heed the same advice when it comes to our

| March 31, 2020 | 0 comments

Well, that escalated quickly didn’t it! After the most bizarre week I think most of us have ever experienced, I’ve just about started to get my head around the idea of being in isolation. That didn’t come without more than a few wobbles though. Being placed on leave without pay from my full time job,

Tools of the LiftOff Trade: what we use and why we use it

| March 15, 2020 | 0 comments

Gym equipment is akin to a tool, and a tool is designed for a specific purpose. Before you can use the tool, you need to know how it is used and what the job is that the tool is intended for. If any component is missing, you are likely to fall short of expectations and

Coach -vs- Gym Instructor: What it requires to really help people

| March 8, 2020 | 0 comments

Over the 11 years I’ve spent in the fitness industry, I’ve come to understand what the people who come to me want when they start a fitness journey. It’s to feel safe, know they are getting guidance that is beyond their own knowledge level and have someone that can empathise with their current journey in

Winter Motivation

| December 9, 2019 | 0 comments

When the days turn to darkness earlier and the morning light takes longer to seep through the cracks in the curtains, it can be difficult to maintain your usual (summer) habits.

One members crossfit journey so far: The Crossfit sceptic

| March 31, 2016 | 0 comments

I first found out about Crossfit back in 2012. When I heard that it involved things such as Olympic weightlifting alongside gymnastic skills I was convinced I wanted to try it. I’d watched both of these at the London Olympic Games and they looked cool to me. Sadly, there was a problem; when I researched
