I walked all the way to the gym… and then turned around and went home😂

Sometimes making progress isn’t about constantly doing more or pushing harder

In this episode, we’re chatting about sleep, recovery, knowing when to push through vs when to pull back, and why doing less can sometimes be the smartest thing for your progress!

Because working harder isn’t always the answer.

Sometimes you need to work smarter.

It’s September, which apparently means we all need a new workout plan, diet and approximately 47 new habits😂

But maybe you don’t need to learn anything new…

In this episode, we’re talking about information vs implementation, why knowing more doesn’t always get you better results, and why your September reset might simply be about finally doing the things you already know work.

Less researching. Less second guessing. More actually doing.

Summer has been summer… holidays, weekends away, drinks, weddings, festivals, and probably a little less routine than usual!

So maybe you DO need a September reset.

In this episode, we’re talking about what a useful reset actually looks like, why doing MORE probably isn’t the answer, and how to get some structure back without suddenly overhauling your entire life!

There are still four months left of the year, and that’s plenty of time to make some serious progress!

PLUS, my September Coaching Intake is officially open 🏳️‍🌈

Ever finished a workout and wondered… ‘Was that actually enough?’

In today’s episode, we’re talking about the difference between training harder and training effectively, why doing more doesn’t automatically mean more progress, and how to tell whether your training is actually working!

Because more isn’t the goal

Progress is!

More cardio means more fat loss. Being sore means you had a good workout. Rest days are lazy. You need to eat ‘clean’ to see results...

We’ve all picked up some questionable fitness advice over the years, and I’ve definitely believed my fair share of it too.

In this episode, I’m breaking down 9 of the biggest fitness myths I still hear, where some of these ideas came from, and what you should actually be focusing on instead

We’re talking cardio and fat loss, rest and recovery, clean eating, constantly changing your programme, workout length, motivation, confidence and why progress probably takes longer than social media has led you to believe.

Because fitness really doesn’t need to be as extreme or complicated as we’ve made it.

Sometimes the best thing you can do for your progress is stop following all the ‘rules’ and focus on the basics that actually work!

I wish I was a morning person like you...

It's something people say to me all the time.

The funny thing is...

I'm really not.

I don't wake up excited to hear my alarm. I don't bounce out of bed full of energy, and before 9am I'm probably one of the grumpiest people you'll meet.

So why do I still get up early?

In this episode, I share why I stopped trying to become the ‘perfect’ morning person, how I learned to work with my brain instead of against it, and why I think so many of us are trying to build routines for someone we aren't.

If you had £500 to kickstart your fitness journey... what would you spend it on?

An apple watch?

The latest supplements?

A new gym wardrobe?

Here's the problem...

Most people invest in everything except the one thing that actually gets results.

In this episode, I'm breaking down one of the biggest mistakes I see gay men make before they even step foot in the gym, why social media makes fitness seem far more complicated (and expensive) than it needs to be, and what I'd actually recommend spending your money on instead!

‘I’m fine all day... but every evening I end up in the kitchen’

If that sounds familiar, you're definitely not alone

It's one of the most common things people tell me, and almost everyone assumes it comes down to one thing... a lack of willpower.

But what if that's not actually the problem?

In this episode, we're unpacking why evening cravings happen, why your body probably isn't working against you, and how a few simple changes to your routine can make fat loss feel a whole lot easier!

Ten years ago, I genuinely believed that if I could just change my body, everything else would fall into place

I'd be more confident

I'd stop comparing myself to other people

I'd finally feel comfortable in my own skin

Looking back now, I've realised something surprising...

The biggest transformation wasn't physical, it was mental.

In this episode, I reflect on the biggest lessons I've learned over the last decade. From the skinny, self conscious 18 year old who was terrified of being judged in the gym, to the coach I am today.
