SCX Fitness

Happy Father’s Day to the amazing dads out there. We see you working your arse off to be the best version of you for your children.

Keep it going! They are watching and taking notice 💪🏼

If you can’t motivate yourself to do it for you; then do it for them.

Should you sign up to training with a coach or a club?🤔

It's the question everyone asks themself when thinking of making a change with their health and fitness.

At SCX we understand that it can benefit everyone in different ways no matter what your goal is. ⚡️

Some of the main benefits are:

💯The sessions are planned for you so you don't have to worry about what you will do or if you are doing the right thing.
💯You have someone there to guide you through the workout and help you decide on the appropriate weight to lift and to push you to work your hardest.
💯Someone is there to give you the support you need to keep you focused on your goals in and outwith the gym.

Coaches are there to be your guide, cheerleader and motivator! 🙌

You only get out what you put in 💯

You can't expect to breeze on by and get amazing fitness results. Everyone that has achieved results MADE it possible because they put in the time, planned, prepped and tracked, showed up and gave it their everything.

Results are possible. There's no doubt about it. But you have to be ready to take control and TAKE CHARGE to make sure it happens. 🙌

Work hard. Stay focused. Find success.

Only you can

Recovery is one of the most important aspects of training that is often forgotten or under estimated 🧘‍♀️🧘

Our body works hard to repair damaged muscles created by resistance training. This is due to micro tears in the muscle caused by the exertion. As the muscles repair, more muscle grows over these tears resulting in increased muscle mass.

If we don't help our bodies in the recovery stage, this can leads to tight muscles, less mobile joints, less efficient moving in your future training sessions and longer DOMS (if you know you know 😬 ).

Recovery can come in many different forms:

🚴‍♂️`Light cardio such as walking, jogging or cycling which increases blood flow to the damaged muscles.
🤸 Stretching. This can be done in the comfort of your own home, watching your favourite show on Netflix 👀.
🧘 Taking part in a recovery specific session or yoga. These are great ways to be shown the proper stretches.
🧎Foam rolling, using a massage gun or going for a massage.

It's all about keeping the body moving, functional and comfortable.

Robyn has been coming to sessions consistently. She has been focused on her goals and with an upcoming holiday we worked together to give her the extra push she needed to get where she wanted to be!

Here’s what she has to say…

“Before SCX I hated anything to do with fitness as I had no confidence and no idea how to achieve my goals. Now I am achieving goals I never thought I would be able to, my confidence has grown in and out of the gym and my mental health has improved massively😊”

We are so amazed at the effort she has put in to improve her health mentally and physically and she continues to impressive everyday in sessions!

Well done Robyn we are so proud of you⭐️

Choose positivity and support and that is what you will get 🙌

Progressive Overload 🏋️‍♂️

What is it? How do you use it? Why is it so beneficial?

It is a tool that is used to adapt your workouts while training to help you continue to improve 🚀.

We use it with our members as we see them getting fitting and stronger and we want their progress to continue!

Starting to train is great but we know that is just one part of it. We are here as trainers to give you the space, tools and knowledge to help you hit your goals 🔥

Excellent Sunday Hyrox session.

Team smashed out a great session - working through all elements of the Hyrox Competition. 💪🏼

𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗮𝗱 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀

A month ago I was buzzing after completing my first Hyrox Event. Fitness levels as good as they have been since I was at Uni - feeling strong and energised!

Today I’m in agony having hurt my knee badly at football over the weekend; awaiting an MRI to confirm what will likely be a tear of some kind.

I won’t lie. I’ve felt pretty sorry for myself over the weekend and still do today.

𝘿𝒆𝙫𝒂𝙨𝒕𝙖𝒕𝙚𝒅 😔

Mainly scared about things;
The business, my personal fitness & mental health and if my knee will ever be able to handle all the Hybrid training again that I currently love doing once fixed.

But I then started realising it’s all the “small things” that really matter in my life; with the main one actually being bigger than anything; being fit enough to play with my daughter who has been trying her best not to be her usual boisterous self around me! 😊 Being a present and fit Dad has always been my aim once she came into my world.

So; that’s my goal. Short term and long term - get back to a level of fitness I can maintain the playful, fun-loving dad role I have. Her innocence and loving nature has helped me see what is important so that is what I’ll focus on when it will get tough through recovery.

Anything beyond that will be a bonus and I am going to try to still complete my 3 Hyrox events at the end of the year.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭 !?

Well, we ALL have good days and bad days so don’t spend too long feeling sorry for yourself, feeling victimised or entitled to get back to where you were. Everyone goes through it.

👉🏼Take stock of what’s happened.
👉🏼Figure out what’s really important.
👉🏼Find your inspiration to move forward.
👉🏼Stay fixed on that goal.

The next few months are probably going to be tough but as I tell all members who suffer injuries, 𝒕𝙝𝒆 𝒄𝙤𝒎𝙚𝒃𝙖𝒄𝙠 𝙞𝒔 𝒂𝙡𝒘𝙖𝒚𝙨 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝒕𝙝𝒂𝙣 𝙩𝒉𝙚 𝙨𝒆𝙩𝒃𝙖𝒄𝙠 💪🏼

Keep Positive everyone 💜

Exercise and the Menopause

They go hand in hand. Exercise can provide so many benefits, on different levels, which can make the process a little more comfortable.

Benefits includes:
- [ ] Weight management as it can be easier to gain weight as your metabolism changes. Consistent exercise can help to keep this at a more stable level.
- [ ] Improved cardiorespiratory function which reduces health risks such as high blood pressure, high attacks and strokes.
- [ ] Resistance training is known to increase/maintain bone mass which in turn can reduce your risk of osteoporosis.
- [ ] Can reduce lower back pain as you strengthen your muscles.
- [ ] Helps to manage stress levels and mood
- [ ] Studies suggest that exercise could help to reduce hot flashes

We have members that are going through it all at different stages and we try our best to help support them as much as we can.

We are a community that supports each other no matter what you are going through 💜

When your clients know you so well 😊 🏌🏼‍♂️

Really nice surprise to get from my good friends and this morning!

It’s a pleasure to train these guys and their determination to put their health first when they have so much else on is I spring!

THANK YOU guys! 💜

So, I was feeling totally overwhelmed today with stuff I have on at the moment. Head is FULL of to do’s and worries about what I’m missing:

- Staff check ins, Business plans and admin, client check ins, Drop others I’ve not spoke to in a while messages to see if they’re ok, Reply to messages I’ve not done for weeks, Social posts and content, Qualification courses, Marketing campaigns, New session launches / programmes, Personal admin, Get my own workouts planned and done, Hotels / travel for events, What’s for dinner, organise my child, Etc. etc. etc.

𝐅u𝐮u𝐮c𝐤!! 𝐈t’s i𝐦p𝐨s𝐬i𝐛l𝐞 . 🤯

But what I can control is stepping back so I can move forward.

📈Taking stock of how far I’ve come
👀 Focus What I’m working on right now
😬How exciting everything is instead of challenging…

Breathe….
Smile…
right, time to move forward 🔥 🚀

Start compartmentalising all these tasks, prioritise and start smashing it!

It’s ok to take time to step back when it feels too much. It’s more effective than sticking in panic mode and moving nothing forward.

So give yourself time. Reflect. Replan. Go again.

💜 You’ve got this! We’ve got this 💪🏼

It’s here. Soft launch of our Hyrox sessions.

🤌🏼£10 drop in fee
👉🏼Monday 12noon 45 minute session

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all our Irish followers celebrating 🍀

Hope you enjoyed yesterday 🏉 🙄 and have a great day today! 🥳

The destination can seem so far away. But if you never start, you’ll never get there.

Set smaller, short term goals and celebrate reaching them along the way.

Most importantly, enjoy the journey to your end goal. It can be as beautiful and as happy as you want it to be; you just have to see it.

Small Group PT Client Carrie has been an absolute focused animal since joining SCX Fitness.

Her thirst to improve, do more and ask questions has led to some incredible results in such a short space of time!

Here’s what she had to say:

“5 months in with SCX Fitness and I am starting to see real results now💜 It’s took months of staying consistent, week after week and taking accountability for the change in myself I wanted 💜

There is no quick fix for this, especially at 40! If you want it you’ve got to graft for it and hard 🙌💪

Consistency is 🔑
Stable diet & plenty protein 🔑
Have fun with it 🔑

I absolutely love the SCX Fitness community. The support you receive, the genuine connections you make and when you work with Stephen and the team every week and take accountability, you see real results.

Staying consistent I have saw my body shape change massively! 😊

I couldn’t recommend SCX Fitness enough. It has changed the game for me 💜”

Small Group PT Client Olivia Shields has been incredibly focused and determined not only with her training but her lifestyle outside the gym.

Having an extra boost to train for the Glasgow Hyrox event which she smashed at the weekend, Olivia has seen these unreal results in just 8 weeks!

Here’s what she had to say:

“I’ve been at SCX Fitness for a while now and whilst the impact on mental and physical health has been noticeable the work with the coaches over the last 8 weeks in preparation for Hyrox has been insane!

Never in a million years did I think I could get these results but with the help of Stephen and Becca, I’ve been super focused on my nutrition and with Stephen being my training partner for , I’ve not taken my eye off the ball once with sessions!

👉🏼My body composition has improved.
👉🏼My weight has dropped 5kg.
👉🏼My Jean size has dropped 2 sizes.
👉🏼My fitness levels are better than they’ve ever been.
👉🏼I’ve smashed my 5km PB (10mins off!).
👉🏼And I am so proud to have completed my first Hyrox on Saturday in Glasgow.

I now know there’s no secret to it. It’s literally get out what you put in.

I just want to say thank you to all the coaches and the members at SCX. We’re all one great team that strive to be better, to help each other through the journey and being in that group environment helps my training every week.

I cannot wait to see where I get to next!”

Olivia we could not be more proud of you. Excited to work on the next goals of yours and smash some more results! 💪🏼 🔥

You have a choice ;

👉🏼Do nothing and stay still

👉🏼Do something and move forward

You can do it! Let’s go!

𝗪𝗜𝗡 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗟𝗢𝗦𝗘 🚀

Life will f**k us up a bit and at times, it can feel like everything is going wrong. It can feel like everything happens when it shouldn’t. Feels unfair.

But what if all these events that feel like you’re losing are actually the challenges YOUR life is meant to have to make you stronger.

Instead of thinking ‘𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘮𝘦 ’ try flipping it and think;
‘𝑦a𝑠s! 𝐴n𝑜tℎe𝑟 𝑙i𝑓e l𝑒s𝑠o𝑛 𝑐o𝑚p𝑙e𝑡e𝑑.’
‘A𝑛o𝑡h𝑒r b𝑢i𝑙d𝑖n𝑔 𝑏l𝑜c𝑘 𝑑e𝑠i𝑔n𝑒d t𝑜 𝑚a𝑘e m𝑒 𝑏u𝑙l𝑒t𝑝r𝑜o𝑓.’
‘A𝑛o𝑡h𝑒r k𝑛o𝑐k t𝑜 𝑚a𝑘e m𝑒 𝑒v𝑒n m𝑜r𝑒 𝑟e𝑠i𝑙i𝑒n𝑡. .’

So next time you feel down and want to chuck it and give in, remember, that even when it’s cloudy, that sun is about to break through.

👉🏼Keep consistent.
👉🏼Remain present.
👉🏼And WIN even when it’s a loss by learning the life lesson and moving forward

Stephen 💜
