| April 16, 2020 | 0 comments

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

One members crossfit journey so far: The Crossfit sceptic

| March 31, 2016 | 0 comments

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
