Do your new year fitness resolutions go something like this?

  1. After the Christmas festivities you are left feeling a little tired, heavy and your clothes are feeling somewhat snug.

  2. You know you have to start that 'get fit and lose weight' resolution you set yourself so you decide to go along with the masses and join a gym.

  3. You make it to the gym induction and feel completely self-conscious sitting opposite the slim and/or muscle bound young instructor, who barely looks like they're out of school.

  4. You then feel even worse when they take you round the lines and lines of strange, scary looking machinery.

  5. You get shown your program and then make it back and do quite well for a week or two while your motivation is high.

  6. Suddenly pizza and a dvd seems a much better idea than going to the scary gym and before you know it, you've blown your resolution so there's absolutely no point carrying on.

  7. You return to 'normal eating' and moaning about being overweight/feeling lethargic/clothes not fitting etc.
For many this is an all too common scenario and most don't make it past the first two weeks of their resolutions. So why do we keep trying to do the same things every January when we know they don't work for us? Is it because we know most people will be trying to do the same things so there is safety in numbers? Is it because you think that joining the gym is the only option?

Well now that's where we might be able to help you. Myself and my colleague Matt Murphy are local personal trainers who between us offer a variety of options to suit all budgets and times of day. From bootcamp circuit classes to 1-to-1 and small group personal training, there should be something to suit you.


But why us and not the gym?


Whatever option you choose we will be there to support you all of the way, in and out of the sessions. We are not just there to show you exercises but to educate you nutritionally on how to make the best choices you can for optimal health and well-being. What sort of lifestyle do you lead? Do you have poor posture? Are you getting enough sleep? These all play a part of how you look and feel.


Our bodies adapt to exercise pretty quickly so in order to keep getting results your program needs to be changed regularly. Unless the instructors in the gyms do this for you, you could be left doing the same old tired program for months on end which means your body gets bored, you get bored and you don't get results. And this is what we are very passionate about getting for you!


Do you want results?


I thought so. Combining dietary advice with metabolism boosting circuit-style training and your hard work and dedication, results are guaranteed! Have a look at the sessions we offer below.
