POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

🔥 SATURDAY SLAUGHTERHOUSE 🔥

WHAT. A. MORNING. 💥

The energy, the effort, the noise, the graft… and the COMMUNITY! 🖤🧡

So many new faces joined us today, and that’s what makes this place special. People walking through the doors, stepping outside their comfort zones, pushing themselves, meeting new people and becoming part of something bigger than just a workout.

Different backgrounds. Different abilities. Different stories. One community. One team. One hell of a Saturday morning! 💪🏼

No egos. No judgement. Just good people, hard work, plenty of sweat and an atmosphere you can’t fake.

To everyone who came down today, whether you’re a regular or it was your very first session with us… THANK YOU! 🙌🏼

And to all the new faces — welcome to the madness. You might have come for the workout, but you’ll probably stay for the people. ❤️

This is what we’re building at Heavenly Bodies.#Not just fitness. A COMMUNITY.

Same time next Saturday? 👀🔥

I FUCKING LOVE PEOPLE WHO MAKE BIG DREAMS FEEL NORMAL. 🖤

Probably because I’ve spent most of my adult life around people who refuse to accept “that’ll do.” 😂

From my time in the military to coaching athletes, building a gym, and helping people become stronger versions of themselves, one thing has always stood out…

The people you surround yourself with will either raise your standards or lower your expectations.

I love being around people who think bigger, work harder, back themselves and aren’t afraid to look a bit daft chasing something most people wouldn’t even attempt.

And no, you don’t have to be an elite athlete, a millionaire or some motivational guru who gets up at 3am to drink mushroom juice. 🤣

You just need a goal, a bit of courage, and the willingness to put the work in when nobody’s watching.

That’s what I want my community to be about. Not just lifting weights, but building people who believe they’re capable of more.

Because sometimes all it takes is being around the right people to realise that the thing you thought was impossible might actually be your next target.

Dream big. Do the work. Surround yourself with people who make ambition feel normal.

And if your goals sound a bit mental to everyone else?

Good. You’re probably talking to the wrong crowd. 🫡🔥

WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TRAINING FOR? 😂📦

Brooke out here looking like a Minecraft character carrying a block around the gym… 💀😂

Except that’s not a virtual world. That’s BROOKIE. And that’s a massive plyo box she’s carrying around like it weighs absolutely NOTHING. 🤣

People ask what we train for…

THIS. 👊🏼

Real-world strength. Being able to pick heavy things up, carry them around and make hard things look easy.

No filters. No nonsense. Just STRONG. 💪🏼

Although I’m not entirely convinced she hasn’t got a crafting table hidden somewhere in the gym. ⛏️😂

🚨 HYBRID BOOTCAMP — NO GUESSWORK ROUND HERE, MUSH! 💪🏽

Every Friday, we slow things down a bit at Hybrid Bootcamp and get technical. 🏋️‍♂️

It’s not always about going faster, lifting heavier or absolutely battering yourself into the floor. Sometimes you need to strip things back, work on your technique and actually learn how to lift properly.

As a BWL-qualified Olympic lifting coach, I’m big on getting the fundamentals right. Good positions, solid movement patterns and proper coaching. We don’t just throw a barbell at you and hope for the best!

NO GUESSWORK ROUND HERE, MUSH. 😂🔥

📍 HYBRID BOOTCAMP — HEAVENLY BODIES

⏰ Monday–Friday | 06:00–07:00
💰 £10 per class
🔥 £80 per month for UNLIMITED classes

And if you think Friday is hard, just wait until Saturday…

💀 SATURDAY SLAUGHTERHOUSE — 08:00

You’ve been warned. 😂

Whether you’re looking to get stronger, improve your fitness, learn Olympic lifting or simply train with a proper bunch of people who graft, there’s a place for you here.

No egos. No guesswork. Just good coaching, hard work and results.

THREE YEARS. ONE REP. 180KG. 🦍

Three years ago, I could deadlift 240kg for sets of 3–5 reps.

Then my back and spine started to deteriorate, and everything changed.

Hospital visits. Days off work. Weeks spent lying in bed. Hobbling around in constant pain. There were times I struggled to do the most basic things.

I lost feeling in my left calf and my right quad. Training, something that had been part of my life for as long as I can remember, became something I could barely do.

I went from pulling 240kg for reps to struggling with anything over 100kg.

I was even offered surgery through the NHS, but the recovery process and the potential time away from training were things I had to seriously consider.

Ultimately, I made the decision to focus on rebuilding.

Slowly. Patiently. One step at a time.

No magic fix. No overnight transformation. Just learning about my body, understanding how I move, managing my limitations and gradually building strength again.

And today, I pulled 180KG for a single.

Is it my personal best? No.

Does it mean more to me than some of the biggest lifts I’ve ever done? Absolutely.

Because I know exactly what it took to get here.

The human body is an incredible thing. Given the right stimulus, appropriate recovery, nutrition, patience and an understanding of how to train around your limitations, we can make progress that once seemed impossible.

I’m not saying every injury can be fixed through training, or that surgery is never necessary. Every situation is different.

But I am saying this: never underestimate the power of rebuilding.

Three years ago, I couldn’t imagine being back here.

Today, 180kg is back on the bar.

And this is just another chapter in the journey.

THE COMEBACK ISN’T ALWAYS ABOUT LIFTING MORE. SOMETIMES, IT’S ABOUT GETTING BACK WHAT YOU THOUGHT YOU’D LOST.

Who’s currently rebuilding after an injury or setback? Drop a comment. I’d love to hear your story. 👊

WANT A BETTER SNATCH? SORT YOUR OVERHEAD SQUAT OUT. 🏋️‍♀️🔥

One thing I see far too often is people trying to snatch serious weight when their overhead squat looks like they’re fighting for their life. 😂

Listen, you might hit that one snatch out of ten, but that doesn’t mean you’ve mastered the movement!

If you want to become a better snatcher, you need to build strength, stability and confidence in that overhead squat position. 💪

Build the foundations, and the full snatch will come on leaps and bounds. Better positions, better consistency, more weight on the bar.

And remember… just because you CAN get under the bar doesn’t mean you SHOULD! 😂

Here’s Sophie putting in the work. Not only is she a cracking athlete, she’s also a coach and a good friend of mine.

Stop chasing the weight. Start building the positions.

Now, be honest… how many of you actually train your overhead squat, or do you just avoid it and hope for the best? 👀👇

FRONT SQUAT 🆚 BACK SQUAT — WHICH TEAM ARE YOU ON? 👇🔥

Robbin getting some front squats in today. 💪

Having dealt with my own lower-back issues for quite some time, the front squat has gradually become my preferred squat variation personally.

Robbin also has a few issues with her lower back, so today we decided to work on her squatting pattern and see how the front squat felt.

And despite what her glutes might suggest 😂, we’ve also been working on improving her glute activation and getting the right muscles doing their job when she moves.

So, why might the front squat be a good option for somebody with lower-back issues?

1️⃣ A more upright torso
The front-loaded position generally encourages a more upright torso, reducing the forward lean often seen in a back squat.

2️⃣ Potentially less demand on the lower back
Front squats can place less demand on the spinal extensor muscles than back squats at comparable relative effort, although this depends on the individual, technique and load.

3️⃣ Less weight required
You can train your legs hard without necessarily having to load the bar as heavily as you would with a back squat.

4️⃣ Better movement awareness
The front rack position encourages you to stay tall, brace properly and maintain control throughout the movement.

5️⃣ Still builds serious leg strength
Quads, glutes and the rest of the lower body can all be trained effectively. You don’t need to back squat to build strong legs.

Of course, front squats aren’t a magic fix for back pain. The right variation depends on the individual, their symptoms, technique and what they can comfortably tolerate.

For me, coaching has always been about finding what works for the person in front of you, rather than forcing everyone into the same movement.

Now, let’s settle a debate… 👀

🔥 TEAM FRONT SQUAT
💪 TEAM BACK SQUAT

Which one gets your vote, and WHY?

Is it strength, mobility, comfort, performance or just personal preference?

Drop your answer in the comments. Let’s hear your reasoning! 👇

26 YEARS. ONE COMMUNITY. ONE HOME. 🖤🧡

Heavenly Bodies was established in 2000.

Ironically, that was the same year I joined the British Army.

Fast forward 26 years… and here we are.

What started as a gym has grown into something that, for me, is so much more than weights, machines and classes.

Heavenly Bodies isn’t just a gym.

It isn’t just somewhere you come to smash a workout.

It isn’t just somewhere you book a class, lift some weights and go home.

It’s a safe haven.

It’s a community.

It’s the people you see every day.

It’s the friendships that have been built over years.

It’s the conversations, the laughs, the sweat, the hard sessions, the celebrations and sometimes the difficult days when simply walking through those doors makes everything feel a little bit better.

We’ve had people come through these doors for 26 years.

Some have stayed for decades.

Some have walked through the doors nervous, lacking confidence or going through difficult periods in their lives — and somewhere along the way, they’ve found their people.

That’s what makes Heavenly Bodies different.

The equipment doesn’t make the gym.

The classes don’t make the gym.

The building doesn’t make the gym.

THE PEOPLE DO.

I’m incredibly proud of what Heavenly Bodies has become, and even more proud of the community that continues to grow around it.

26 years in… and I genuinely believe we’re only getting started.

Thank you to every single person who has ever walked through those doors, trained with us, supported us, brought energy into the place or simply called Heavenly Bodies home.

This is bigger than fitness.

This is family.
