Mind Over Metal - Personal Training

Focusing on physical and mental well-being, finding confidence and sustainability in enjoying fitness

22/04/2023

Don't be afraid to take inspiration from others, but remember your own goals and why you started! Train appropriately to avoid losing motivation and keep smashing your personal targets!!

If you're not sure where to start, DM me for Personal Training, both online and 1-2-1! 💪😎

19/04/2023

Some mid-week motivation and SUSTAINABILITY is the name of the game!!

If you're not enjoying your workouts or you're over-fatiguing yourself every time you head to the gym, it is NOT SUSTAINABLE. You begin to resent the behaviour and can inadvertently create an entirely new barrier between yourself and fitness.

Don't go in with the idea that you HAVE to give it EVERYTHING EVERY DAY, the body isn't built to tolerate that kind of stress, and neither is the mind.

Find what you enjoy and get the most you can out of it when you have the opportunity, but prioritise your rest and comfort equally to avoid 🔥burning out🔥 and "falling off the wagon".

A little more than last time is plenty, now let's get it 💪😎

Con ready! Can you guess who we're supposed to be? 🤔 😎

11/10/2022

Some ✨upper back✨ development progress while really trying to work on dieting for that V-Taper 😍 that I'm sure is in no small part thanks to all the pull ups I've been doing for these calisthenics! Really proud of myself if I'm honest.. by far the most sustainable dieting phase I've ever tried, it's slow but it's steady and actually enjoying my food is a huuuuge plus.

Nearly didn't upload this simply due to the love handles being on show, but then I remembered this is actually what a real body looks like and if I can preach to my clients to love themselves I should take my own advice too. no filters or editing here, just body positivity 💪

Over Metal

Gentle reminder on this glorious Wednesday morning!

Even in your weakest moments you're stronger than you can imagine. Never believe otherwise; Self-doubt is the true killer of progress and growth, both physical and mental, so believe in yourself even when no one else does.

You ARE strong
You ARE worthy
YOU HAVE GOT THIS!!

15/08/2022

A bit of fun earlier with a very comfortable 60kg 😂 No handed squats aren't usually something I'd advise in a program 👀 but when explaining how important handling weights with control AND confidence is, it seemed like a great example 😅

You gotta strut 🤷

31/07/2022

Feeling a little burnt out myself at the moment, and this pops up in my Facebook memories! It's a sign 🤔

Remember never to prioritize a job or activity over your mental or physical health; Society likes to let you forget you're human sometimes, with human feelings and human needs. You are not the terminator or some otherworldly superhero, you NEED rest.

This is not negotiable.

Skipping coming along nicely (ish 👀😂)! Some single leg hops, alternating hops, cross loops and just general hype about how far I've come so quickly. Incredible cardio and a huge motivator to see this progress!! ❤️

Always found it funny that EVERYONE thinks they have THE best dog no matter what their behaviour...
.When in actual fact, I HAVE THE BEST AND MOST BEAUTIFUL DOG 😍

Sorry not sorry 😘

A surprise getaway to Greece, and what an incredible place it is!

A day in Thessaloniki and a couple more in Kalampáka, with a trip up to Meteora to visit the monasteries. Blown away by the view, the hospitality and the weather! What an experience!

Spent yesterday evening sat in the desert, drinking cider and eating burgers 🤤 before camping for the night! What an experience!!

Another entirely new, unforgettable experience in a cheeky bit of paddle boarding!! What a view; crystal clear blue water and a city skyline you couldn't believe. Estimated I would fall off 4 times, but only did 3 😉 that's a win!! See if you can spot me in the last photo, hidden behind the laughing girlfriend 🙃

Couldn't resist taking a look at the gym on the compound... An hour to kill means we go autopilot 😂 Working hard, playing harder 💪😎

When you get absolutely palmed off by the owl you're stroking 😂

Visits to the Owl sanctuary to meet Shaikha, some blast from the past art exhibits and met my first camel at the Heritage Village!

First few days in Abu Dhabi, what a world! Sweltering heat, sandy beaches and art installations as far as the eye can see!

First day back in the gym post-Covid and this barbell has got me feeling some type of way 🙈😅 Need to feel that fire inside burning bright again!! 🔥🔥🔥

If you ever struggle to drag yourself through the non-negotiables, the responsibilities that aren't optional, the steps you know you NEED to take to better yourself... Just ask yourself my favourite question-

"How bad do you want it?"

If you don't want it that much, that's ✨fine✨! Chill, put your feet up and relax, the gym will still be there tomorrow and so will you 💪 Life is too short to beat yourself up and feel guilty over taking a day off 🤷 Sometimes we need to recharge!!

BUT- if you want it 🔥BAD🔥, if you want it more than you want the downtime, you better MOVE and you better WORK! WHATEVER IT TAKES is a very powerful mantra, so use it when you really need it! Internalise it and feel that positive energy flow through you- You can do ANYTHING in this life, as long as you are prepared to do WHATEVER. IT. TAKES.

Keep moving, stay active and go after what you really want! You can fail at things you DON'T want to do...So why not try going after what you DO want 💪😎 THAT is Mind Over Metal!!

Spending Valentine's Day the way it was intended- led on the sofa with the fire on cuddling up with your loved ones. ❤️

Stay safe all- We're on the mend from our stint of covid, and will be back in the gym by the end of the week with any luck! 💪 Stay tuned for more training clips, progress photos and advice that is nonsense-free and easy to digest 😎 keep moving, keep active, and keep your chin up- You are worthy, ALWAYS!

Smashing it this week 💪💪 some clips from recent sessions; from pure strength training, toning, calisthenics, bodyweight exercises, to boxing style cardio and home workout ideas, Mind Over Metal has you covered no matter the goal 🏋️ and we go at your pace! 😍😍

Remember the key to making that lifestyle change is to enjoy it- if you're not having fun then what's the point?? 🤡🤡🤡 Life is too short to be miserable, do it for you and have a good time doing it! 💪😎

Aimed at all ages and abilities, Mind Over Metal focuses on building your confidence so that you can take back control of your health, fitness and life in general- Sometimes we stumble and sometimes we fall, and that's okay. Weakness today can be strength tomorrow, we build on the foundations of fitness and feel that quality of life change and confidence bleed in to every aspect of we do, whether it's lifting 300 pounds or getting to the top of the stairs and not dying. 🤷
It's okay to be anxious, and it's okay to be unsure- It will pass, but only if you take the first step! So let's do this, together 🙏🙏🙏
