7am Bootcamp DONE! 💪🏾🔥

Big shout-out to everyone who dragged themselves out of bed this morning and put in the work! 👏🏾

Every single person who turned up worked their socks off, and that’s exactly what I love to see. No excuses, no hiding, just getting stuck in and making it happen! 💪🏾😂

So well done, ladies. You should be proud of yourselves. 👏🏾

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, recover those legs… because hopefully I’ll see you all again next Saturday! 😜🔥

Only 3 of you tonight… but you made it special! 💪🏾🔥

We threw A LOT at you, and I’ll admit, I may have slipped into full-on drill sergeant mode! 😂 “COME ON, LADIES!” 👀🤣

But you just got on with it, pushed through and got the job done. No excuses — just graft! 💪🏾

I really appreciate you three. Well done, ladies! 👏🏾

Now, let’s fill the place next time! If you’ve been thinking about coming, stop thinking and GET YOURSELF THERE! 😂💪🏾

Next session — I want to see you in the room! 🔥 Who’s in? 👊🏾

LANDMINE CLEAN & PRESS

Been playing around with the landmine clean & press, with @tezzaj1979, a pals and one of the PTs at the gym, giving me a few pointers.

Terry loves this stuff and is bloody good at it 😂 So rather than just throwing some weight around, he’s been guiding me through how to actually move well through the exercise.

And that’s what I like about it.

You’re getting power, coordination, hip drive, core stability, rotation, balance and pressing strength all in one movement.

It’s not just about getting the weight from A to B.

It’s about learning how your body gets there.

Always learning. Always adapting. 💪🏾

140KG ON A SLED?! “I could do that…” 👀

Watching Physical 100 today, I saw some seriously strong, athletic people struggling with a 140kg sled.

I didn’t think, “Is that all?”

I thought…

“I wonder what they’re pulling it on?” 🤔

Because the flooring can make a massive difference.

Same sled. Same 140kg. Completely different level of resistance depending on the surface and friction.

And don’t forget your shoes. 👟

If your feet are slipping, you might think the sled is too heavy when actually you just can’t get enough grip into the floor.

You see this in HYROX too. Someone struggles on one sled track, then gets onto another and suddenly it’s moving like it’s got wheels. 😂

So don’t judge sled performance purely by the number on the plates.

Weight matters.
But friction matters.
The floor matters.
Your shoes matter.

And yes, I did some today after watching Physical 100.

I know I can pull a decent amount…

But I’m not pulling an aeroplane anytime soon. 😂✈️

Well, well, well… look who actually turned up tonight! 😂😂

Four brave souls entered the danger zone, while two wisely decided they had better things to do! 😂

But fair play to you four, because you absolutely smashed it. There was plenty of work to get through, and you all put a proper shift in. 💪🏽🔥

And somehow, despite the sweating, puffing and questioning your life choices, there was still plenty of laughing going on! 😂

Honestly though, I love seeing how well you all get on. You work hard, encourage each other and have a laugh while you’re doing it — and that’s exactly what I want from these sessions.

Thank you, ladies. Brilliant effort tonight. Keep that energy going… although I suspect next week a few more of you might suddenly discover an “appointment” in the diary! 😂😂

Well done! 👏🏽💪🏽

9AM. Barbell man makers, dips, movement… and I even had a little flirt with the deadlift. 😂

I said yesterday I was going to do the man makers again, and I did.

And you know what?

I bloody enjoyed it.

The dip bars had disappeared, so I adapted. No drama. Still got the job done.

Then I thought, “Go on then… let’s see what the deadlift says.”

100kg.

My back said “Absolutely not.” 😂

It hurt. And yes, I could’ve pushed through it.

But why?

Just because I can do something doesn’t mean I need to.

I can build my legs, strength and posterior chain without making my back hate me.

Train hard. Adapt. Have a bit of fun.

You don’t get extra points for suffering unnecessarily. 💪

6AM START. 💪🔥

Clive put in WORK this morning!

We covered a serious amount, from plyometrics and jumping to lateral jumps, squats, lunges and plenty more. A proper full-on leg session that demanded effort from start to finish.

And Clive delivered. 👊

Brilliant work, Clive. Consistency, effort and commitment — that’s how you build progress.

Same energy next session! 🔥

WHAT IS RECOVERY?

Recovery isn’t simply doing nothing or even just sleeping!

It is the process of giving your body and mind the time, energy and resources they need to be better and adapt to the demands you place on them.

See the one thing I can say with GREAT certainty is that, HUMAN’s can be amazing.

SLEEP
Time for your body and mind to repair and reset. Most of our bodies reconstruct happens when we sleep.

NUTRITION
Enough fuel and nutrients to support recovery and performance. But don’t be like those body builders of the past. Bland food is ok. But knowledge of what herbs and spices helps for better nutrition.

TRAINING LOAD
Knowing when to push, maintain or ease off. Understanding how to train is massive. But takes time and a willingness to learn. “Don’t believe me”. ….look at some of the best bodybuilders of the past and what they look like now.

MOVEMENT
Staying active without constantly asking your body for maximum effort. And this is important!! We don’t have to move at 100mph daily.

REST
Giving your body a genuine break when it needs one. Stopping is doing something to.

STRESS
Recognising that work, life and training all contribute to your overall load. And sometimes we take on too much.

RECOVERY = ADAPTATION

You train to create the stimulus.

You recover so your body can adapt to it.

Train hard. Recover properly. Then go again.

If you got here

Thank you!! by @functionalmovement101

🔥 Three ladies. One tough workout. One team.

From suicide drills to agility ladder work, they pushed the pace and kept each other going.

From lunges to tempo squats, they dug deep, fought through the reps and refused to quit.

And that’s what I love about these sessions — we work hard, we encourage each other, we have a laugh, and nobody gets left behind. 💪❤️

It’s not about being the fittest person there. It’s about turning up, putting the work in and becoming stronger together.

Well done, ladies! 👏🔥 Another session in the bag.

Want to be part of it? Come and train with us.
📲 DM me now to book your first session.

Good people. Hard work. No judgement. Just progress.

8 ladies. One session. Absolutely NO hiding! 😂💪

Tonight’s bootcamp was bloody brilliant.

They turned up, got stuck in and proceeded to question every life choice that brought them there… 😂

Hard work? Yep.
Sweat? Plenty.
Laughing? Obviously.
Complaining? Just enough to keep it interesting. 😂

But they ALL kept moving, kept pushing and kept working right until the end.

And that’s what I love about these sessions. You come along, get your arse kicked a little bit, have a laugh, make some new mates and leave feeling bloody good about yourself.

Eight ladies tonight and every single one smashed it. 👏🔥

Same time next week?

You know where we are… if your legs have recovered. 😂💪
