Let’s clear up some misconceptions about calories and weight loss. ⁠
⁠
🙄We’re sure you’ve heard it a bunch of times before from ‘influencers’ online - Calories in vs calories out. As long as it fits your macros that’s all that matters. ⁠
⁠
Well we’re sorry to burst the bubble on this, but that’s a big steaming load of BS. ⁠
⁠
Sure, calories are important for weight loss, maintenance and weight gain. But since when did whole foods not matter? And maybe you could lose weight eating Mcdonalds every day in a calorie deficit, but what about your health? ⁠
⁠
Ultra-processed foods have a hugeeee impact on our blood sugar, cholesterol, cortisol, bloating, emotional health, energy and more. 🍩 🍭⁠
⁠
🤒 When you only eat crap, you’re guaranteed to feel like crap. You more often than not end up with nutrient deficiencies and are at much higher risk of developing long term health conditions such as Type2 Diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. ⁠
⁠
We need to get away from the mindset that quality doesn’t matter so long as you don’t eat too many calories.⁠
⁠
🫐 🥑 Whole foods – fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and healthy fats – are packed with essential nutrients that your body needs to function at its best. They help regulate your metabolism, support your immune system, and provide steady energy throughout the day.⁠
⁠
🤩 Eating nutrient-dense foods not only helps with weight loss but they support your overall health and wellbeing. When you focus on the quality of what you consume, you give your body everything it needs to thrive.⁠
⁠
At Aleafia, we take a holistic approach to health and wellness. We aren’t focused solely on the numbers on the scale and in MyFitnessPal. We care about how you feel inside and out. ⁠
⁠
✨So, if you’re looking for a place that will give you the knowledge and strategies to live a healthier, happier life, reach out to us right away. We’ll be waiting. ✨

If you’re tired of busy gyms & judgy people getting in the way of your fitness journey, listen closely’⁠
⁠
😰Are you tired of battling anxiety every time you step foot into a gym? Does just the idea of working out in an overcrowded space leave you feeling overwhelmed and discouraged? If so, it’s time for you to break free from this feeling and discover the joy of fitness that you should be feeling. ⁠
⁠
👭This is where our Small Group Sessions can help you. Just imagine a supportive environment where you don’t feel like everyone’s watching you, judging you, waiting for you to f*ck up. Instead, you are a valued member of a tight-knit, friendly community that supports each other every step of the way. ⁠
⁠
Sounds like a dream doesn’t it? ⁠
⁠
🤩But it can be your reality! With our small group sessions that are capped at 6 people per class, you’ll experience a sense of belonging and friendship unlike anything you’ve experienced at other local fitness facilities. ⁠
⁠
Imagine that you are one of the 6 people in our small group session, with an experienced and dedicated coach there to tailor each workout to your own individual needs. It’s like having a personal PT session, but with workout buddies there to provide accountability and energy to push you past your own expectations. ⁠
⁠
🥰You’ll never again feel lost or intimidated when working on your wellness. You will leave each visit with increased confidence, boosted energy and an abundance of motivation in shared experiences, sure to keep you moving towards your transformation change. ⁠
⁠
✨So why not do this one thing and take the first step towards overcoming your exercise anxiety and find your community? Contact us today to get started! ✨

Have you been making this mistake when trying to lose weight? ⁠
⁠
We’re not talking about the obvious mistake of indulging too much too often or not moving enough. We’re talking about the often unthought of mistake that can make a big impact on your fat loss journey… your SLEEP!⁠
⁠
Some evidence on lack of sleep and weight gain has shown that when we’re sleep deprived, we may find ourselves craving high-calorie and often ultra-processed foods often associated with weight gain. 🧁⁠
⁠
When it comes to weight loss it isn’t just a case of moving more and eating less. Factors such as stress levels and sleep play a much larger role in weight management than most realise. ⁠
⁠
So, if you’re looking to lose weight and keep it off long-term, make sure you’re getting the best sleep possible. ⁠
⁠
💤And to help you out, here’s our 5 top tips for getting better sleep:⁠
⁠
⏰Establish a Routine: Make sure you’re waking up at the same time each day - even the weekends - to maintain a consistent sleep-wake cycle. ⁠
⁠
🧘‍♀️Wind-Down: At least an hour before bed, try to avoid any screen devices. Why not read a book, meditate, have a bath or listen to some relaxing music? ⁠
⁠
🌚Create the Right Sleep Environment: Find the right temperature, lightness and noises that are best for you. Most people like a dark, cool and quiet bedroom to sleep in. ⁠
⁠
🏋️‍♀️Improve Sleep Through Diet and Exercise: A healthy diet and good exercise routine help you to relax, feel good and get better sleep. Avoid a large meal close to bedtime and try to avoid caffeine in the afternoon. ⁠
⁠
😴Sleep Duration: Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night to help with food cravings, support stress management and overall wellbeing.

If you’re new to exercise and feeling unsure of what to do and how to do it right is holding you back, read this.⁠
⁠
We get it. In fact, we doubt there’s a single person that didn’t feel this way when first starting out on their fitness journey. It’s a real barrier for a lot of people. But, there is a super easy solution! And the best part?? It doesn’t come with the hefty price tag of 1-2-1 PT sessions!⁠
⁠
🔥The solution to achieving your fitness goals and overcoming your low self-esteem can be found in our Small Group PT sessions. It’s a great way to kickstart your fitness journey and give you the confidence and technical know-how to exercise outside of classes when you’re ready! ⁠
⁠
🏋️‍♀️Never feel self-conscious working out again. Our sessions are intentionally kept small to avoid overcrowding, but still allow you to be supported by like-minded people to bring friendship and fun to each workout.⁠
⁠
Achieve your own goals in each session as our expert coaches tailor the workouts to your specific needs and goals as an individual. Through the use of progressive overload that targets different muscle groups, you’re sure to have a well-balanced and effective workout for the full body.⁠
⁠

The biggest mistake women make when trying to lose weight is…⁠
⁠
Buying into the BS that restrictive diets are the only way to get there. ⁠
⁠
You’re feeling uncomfortable with your current physique, so you start googling ‘how to lose weight fast’. ⁠
⁠
The search results show you a bunch of stuff on low-carb, low-fat, elimination, single food and very low calorie diets, with the odd juice cleanse thrown in. Now you’re convinced carbs are the enemy and calories are a curse. ⁠
⁠
❌Your solution? Completely avoid carbs and chug back veggie juices and try to consume the least amount of calories possible.⁠
⁠
You give it a go for a while, but find that either; you can’t stick to it for long enough to see lasting change or it makes you miserable, leaves you physically exhausted from the lack of energy and you can’t concentrate at work. The thought of socialising leaves you tired and the idea of going out for food scares the s**t out of you. What do you mean its not blended and contains a potato?!🫣⁠
⁠
Does this sound like you? ⁠
⁠
Well, get ready for the harsh truth… Restrictive diets aren’t going to give you the lasting weight loss you’re after! ⁠
⁠
The answer won’t be found from cutting out entire food groups and eating little more than dust for dinner. Severely restricted diets can even slow down your metabolism (making it HARDER to lose weight!) and lead to nutrient deficiencies. ⁠
⁠
✅The solution to your sustainable weight loss can be found in creating maintainable daily habits - balanced nutrition, regular exercise, emotional wellbeing, sleep, hydration… all the basic stuff that when done well, makes the real difference. ⁠
⁠
But we get that the basic stuff isn’t always the easiest to implement. That’s where we come in. At Aleafia, we educate and upskill you in the basics of creating a healthier, happier life, so that you can achieve your transformation and have confidence you can keep it up. ⁠
⁠
🤩If you’re ready to take that step to seeing REAL change, drop us a dm for a chat. Let’s see how we can achieve your goals together!

Ah, the joys of the summer holidays. Aren’t they amazing? It’s great to have so much time with the little ones whilst they're off school and have new experiences as a family.

Don’t let the thought of a packed out gym hold you back from starting your transformation this summer.⁠
🌞The summer holidays are finally here. People are motivated to do more, move more, work on a healthier lifestyle. Hello, the trend of the summer body?? ⁠
⁠
The sunshine just makes everything better and makes us want to DO better. ⁠
⁠
Now, you’re finally in the frame of mind to kick those unhelpful habits to the curb and focus on you, your body composition goals and improving your physical health. You join a local gym, but… you get there and it's PACKED OUT! So, you turn right back around and out of those doors, never to return because working out in front of so many people is not the vibe. ⁠
⁠
😔We feel ya. There’s nothing worse than finally pumping yourself up to get into the gym only to get there and feel unwelcome and observed. ⁠
⁠
Suddenly, you find yourself losing that bit of confidence you’d spent weeks building. It’s such a shame that an overcrowded space and sometimes unfriendly gym goers have the ability to make you feel that way. ⁠
⁠
Now, we don’t mean to brag (okay maybe a little), but we’ve got the answer to your prayers. 🙏⁠
⁠
Come and see us at Aleafia! We’re proud to have created a community of fun-loving, friendly women who love a laugh and a good workout together when they choose. And for the times when you just want to smash a workout solo? You’ll have access to our semi-private open gym - Where a max of 3 people are allowed at any one time, ensuring you have the space to do your thing and never feel observed when you’re putting in the work. 💪⁠
⁠
✨Sounds pretty damn good doesn’t it? If you’re in agreement with us and ready to finally find the home of your workouts and the community you feel you belong in, send us a DM to have a chat and find out what option is ideal for you! Or just pop in and speak to one of us!✨

Feeling stuck in your weight loss journey and frustrated that summer’s here, and you’ve not achieved the goals you set yourself in January? You promised yourself that by this point you’d have achieved your body composition goals. We get it. We know how frustrating and disappointing it can be to feel lost on where to go next. ⁠
⁠
The problem is you lack direction? You feel overwhelmed by all the different opinions out there and recommended methods. So far nothing has worked for you. Now you’re here. Stuck, lost, confused. Sound about right? ⁠
⁠
The trouble is…⁠
⁠
❌ Without direction, staying consistent is tough. The phrase "consistency is key" exists for a reason—seeing results requires a structured routine and achievable goals.⁠
⁠
❌ Lack of direction leads to setting unrealistic expectations. When goals aren't attainable, it results in disappointment and giving up.⁠
⁠
❌ In the absence of direction, you may turn to online "professionals" for advice. However, the conflicting views and misinformation make it difficult to know whom to trust and which advice to follow.⁠
⁠
But it doesn’t have to be this way. You shouldn’t let a lack of direction hold you back from your transformation. We all start somewhere, and with the right guidance and support, we know you can achieve the transformation you’ve been dreaming of. We’ve seen it happen! ⁠
⁠
✨Here’s some advice that has seen our clients maintain great transformation success:⁠
⁠
✅ Set achievable goals: Think SMART goals! Celebrate your successes along the way to stay motivated.⁠
⁠
✅ Join a community: Support from like-minded individuals keeps you accountable, offers a sense of belonging, and celebrates your successes.⁠
⁠
✅ Keep it simple: Don’t try to do everything at once. Get a coach to build a bespoke plan based on your goals and starting point. Execute and enjoy!⁠
⁠
✅ Focus on mental and emotional health: Address emotional aspects contributing to your struggles for long-lasting change. Build a strong mindset with mindfulness and meditation.⁠
⁠
✨If you need help on your journey, now that we are here waiting for you. Simply pop us a dm to have a chat about where you are right now and where you want to be. ✨

Is navigating the menopause leaving you overwhelmed? Try these tips to make it easier! ⁠
⁠
Menopause can be a challenging time for a lot of us. Trying to navigate the wave of physical and emotional changes is tough. With a lack of support, it can be overwhelming to figure out how to best support your health and wellbeing during this time. ⁠
⁠
One thing that’s been proven to help the members at Aleafia during this transition is mindfulness and meditation - proven to aid in stress management, balance out hormones and provide deep relaxation. ⁠
⁠
Here’s a few of the way mindfulness and meditation can make menopause more manageable:⁠
⁠
🧘‍♀️Stress Management: Menopause often comes with heightened stress and anxiety. Mindfulness practices help you stay present, reducing stress and creating a sense of calm. When practised regularly, it can help navigate daily challenges with ease and clarity.⁠
🧘‍♀️Balancing Hormones: The mood swings we experience during the menopause are often caused by hormonal imbalances. Meditation helps regulate emotional responses, helping to balance out your moods, making it easier to handle the emotional ups and downs.⁠
🧘‍♀️Deep Relaxation: Making time to find moments of relaxation is important in everyday life, especially during the menopause. Meditation offers a sanctuary of peace, allowing your mind and body to unwind. This helps to improve sleep, boost energy levels, and enhance overall wellbeing.⁠
If you’re experiencing symptoms of the menopause, give mindfulness and meditation a go! And If you want the support of an experienced instructor, we offer guided sessions by expert menopause coaches here at Aleafia Wellness Centre. ⁠

⁠
🌈We get that life isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, it’s never always on an upward trajectory. If it was, the world would be high on life and conditions such as stress and depression wouldn’t exist! Your Aleafia community is here for you through the ups and the downs. We’re here to lift you up on the darker days and support your successes on the sunny ones.🌞⁠
⁠
We’re all about working hard and playing even harder. Working on you is never dull with us - we’re all about the laughs and having a whole lotta fun along the way.⁠
