Fitness tips: Goals

Over the next two months, I will share about 3 of my running clients who are training for races in the same weekend. I actually have 9 clients racing the same weekend and I will be running too. I am helping them in different ways, some are doing gym work with me, others I am [...]

Back to school

Many people expect that I will have a lot of new clients in the new year. But that has rarely been the case for me. I am more likely to have new people join just after the summer holidays, in September/October or at the beginning of spring. My theory is that during the summer, [...]

Benefits to Online Fitness Training

In the last few months, I have had an increase in clients. Not just personal training clients, but also the number of people participating in my Strength and Movement Groups, both outside on Wednesday mornings and online on Mondays at lunchtime.

Celebrating 2024

Happy 2025! 🥳 This month, I am taking a bit of a look back on last year. Veronica, from SPIN Ideas, who helps me write these blogs, has challenged me to write about 3 things I celebrate and 3 things I would do differently. At first, I wasn’t sure I would be able [...]
