Absolute Fitness Personal Training & Sports Massage

Yesterday I posted a healthy high protein chocolate mousse and asked you to guess which ingredients I used. Some great guesses but no one got it right. Are you surprised?!

Want to eat clean but fancy a sweet treat? Try these rich chocolate mouse pots. Only 4 ingredients but packs 15g protein per pot! Gluten and dairy free too 👌
Can you guess the 4 ingredients?

Are you looking to feel strong, energised, and confident throughout your pregnancy and postpartum journey?

I offer personalised pregnancy and postnatal personal training programs designed to support your changing body and get you feeling your best!

Here's what I can help you with:

* Safe and effective exercise routines throughout pregnancy
* Core & pelvic floor strengthening (essential for postpartum recovery)
* Improved posture & back pain relief
* Increased energy levels & better sleep
* Guidance on nutrition for pregnancy & breastfeeding
* No intimidating gym- train from my home or book a mobile PT session in the comfort of your own home
* No need for childcare, little ones welcome!

DM me today for a free consultation and let's chat about your fitness goals!

Saturdays have filled up fast! The only appointments I have left in February is Saturday 17th. Drop me a pm if you'd like a sports or relaxing massage in the comfort of your own home

We're back! Happy 2024, hope you've enjoyed the break as much as I have.

Time to get back to business but don't worry, you won't be looking like this at the end of your first personal training session back.

Going back hard core is counter productive- having the dreaded DOMs for days on end will stress out your nervous system, stop further activity and potentially cause muscle tension and injuries.

Instead we are easing back in with some cardio on the spin bike and some resistance band training. Don't worry, you'll still get a great workout as always!

#2024

That's a wrap for 2023! Thank you so much to everyone who has supported my small local business this year- it means the word to me.

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas. Enjoy the festive food - count the memories with your loved ones, not the calories. Tis the season to indulge after all.....🎄🍗🍷🍾🎁🎊

It's that time of year... The Christmas coffees are out! I'm partial to a gingerbread latte as a treat, but with around 350 calories, a few of these a week can add up to weight gain quickly. If you drank one of these each day in December you would put on 3lbs 😱

So here's my sneaky tip; Simply add a ginger tea bag to your homemade or takeaway coffee. All the taste with out the guilt 😋🌲

Not sure what to give your loved ones for Christmas? How about the gift of relaxation or pain relief?
Gift vouchers available for 30 or 60 minute mobile sport or relaxation massage and are redeemable for 6 months.

Introducing my newest piece of equipment bought at last weekend. Can anyone guess what it is? Looks interesting right 🤔🤣
I'll give you a clue- it can be used both during personal training and sports massage....
Looking forward to trying it out on some clients 😁

4th year at FitCampsWorld complete! 16 fantastic fitness classes with world class instructors. From high energy dance workouts to pilates and sound baths, I love being part of this industry.

My passion for fitness started at just 10 years old when I would teach my little sister fitness and dance routines!

My inspiration is my phenomenal mum, who took me to my first aerobics class at 15 and I've been hooked ever since! Her passion for health and fitness, her drive to stay active and motivated and her endless energy are an inspiration to all women. Love you mum 😍

As the colder, darker nights draw in, it's very tempting so snuggle up & order a takeaway. But try this healthier calzone takeaway! Take a wrap, load with your favourite pizza toppings then fold over. I added an egg for extra protein which oozed out perfectly! Secure the edges with a fork or a crimpet tool. Then bake in an air fryer or the oven. Simple, delicious, nutritious and cheaper than a takeaway- win win!

Eating foods high in volume but low in calories is a great way to feel full while losing weight. Adding protein to your plate at each meal and choosing complex carbs which are high in fiber will leave you feeling fuller for longer, helping you to avoid snacking between meals.
This whole plate comes in at just 333 calories with 34g of protein, 27g of carbohydrates and just 8g of fat. Quick & easy too 👍

Huge well done to Gurdeep Chhina for her commitment and consistency, which are key to achieving any fitness, strength and weight loss goals. In just 6 months, this new mum has hit her weight goal losing an impressive 25.8 lbs (1 1/2 stone or 11.7 KG), fixed her diastasis recti (abdominal gap caused by pregnancy), reduced her body fat by 5.6% and increased her skeletal muscle mass by 3% which is important in helping to prevent osteoporosis. She has also increased her strength steadily and is now lifting weights she never thought would be possible. Go girl- very proud of you!

So proud of this first time mum. She consistently pushes to achieve new goals, works through the new baby exhaustion and always has a smile on her face. Gurdeep has been consistent with the rehab for her diastasis recti (abdominal separation) which has almost healed. With nutritional advice and support she's also lost over a stone in 4 months, losing it steadily so she has enough food to fuel her though busy mum days.

Happy mothers day to all the amazing mums in my life. I'm privileged to work with such strong women who show up to train no matter how little sleep they've had!

Also thinking of those who will find today really tough- those who have lost mums, those who are trying to become mums and those who have lost children. Sending lots of hugs on a difficult day for many 🥰

Welcome to the Absolute Fitness family baby Freddie! Mummy, Gosia, trained throughout her pregnancy to prepare her body for change and be ready for labour and the physical and mental challenges of being a new mum. Gosia also enjoyed some pregnancy massages to alleviate back and hip pain, reduce nausea and swelling and increase relaxation. I'm so proud of this amazing lady and can't wait to meet up for a coffee to see how's she doing and meet her gorgeous baby boy. Congratulations!

Happy Halloween everyone

Ever heard of NEAT? Non-exercise activity thermogenesis is the calories you burn doing daily activities not from exercise. This can include cleaning, gardening, shopping, cooking and playing with your children. Doing more of these activities can make a huge difference to weight loss, especially if you are struggling to fit in structured exercise. Check out my calorie burn from a day cleaning, gardening and meal prepping- I didn't need to do a workout!

Ahh Emily bump! Miss our sessions Abby Christie and now Emily will be 2 on Friday 🥰🥰🥰

This amazing lady has trained with me right up to her due date! She's worked hard to maintain a healthy weight, keep her blood pressure down, keep fit, strong & healthy. And always with on a smile on her face. I'll miss seeing her each week but look forward to meeting baby & working with you post-natally. Good luck Vicky # # #

Good luck to everyone taking part in the iconic Great North Run this weekend. And a special shout out to clients Gill Larby & Eilidh Charlotte for all your hours of dedicated personal training to give you the strongest legs, glutes and core! It will pay off when you cross that finish line- and what a feeling of accomplishment! You can do it!
