Understanding the Buzzwords: “Scaling” vs “Individualising”

| August 14, 2020 | 0 comments

There’s a constant stream of buzzwords that do the rounds of gyms and the fitness industry in general.

This isn’t helped by the saturation of coaching on social media and indirect communications from person to person. It can

Taken Up Running in Lockdown? Why Preparation is the Key!

| July 12, 2020 | 0 comments

I’m sure the vast majority of us would agree that lockdown has had its high points and its low points. One of the upsides for many has been having more time to ourselves. We have gained precious hours through the absence of commuting to work or battling the school run. As a coach, I have

We had 9 months to do nothing but think right? Imaging that first encounter with our baby. Speculating what kind of

The Covid-19 Diaries: Staying at home doesn’t mean sitting around

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

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

| March 15, 2020 | 0 comments

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