Why Accountability Matters!

1. Consistency is Key: One of the biggest hurdles in fitness is maintaining consistency. It’s easy to skip a workout or make unhealthy food choices when no one is watching. Accountability ensures that there is someone or something to remind you of your commitments and keep you on track.

2. Motivation and Support: Achieving fitness goals often requires a significant amount of motivation. An accountability partner, whether it’s a friend, family member, or coach (us!😉), provides the emotional support and encouragement needed to keep going, especially on tough days.

3. Overcoming Plateaus: Plateaus are a common part of any fitness journey. When progress stalls, it can be tempting to abandon the goal altogether. Accountability helps you push through these plateaus by keeping you focused on your long-term objectives and encouraging persistence.

4. Tracking Progress: Accountability involves regularly monitoring your progress. This could be through check-ins, progress photos, or performance metrics. Seeing tangible progress, even small improvements, can be incredibly motivating and validate your efforts.

Accountability is a cornerstone of success in achieving health and fitness goals. It provides the consistency, support, and motivation needed to stay on track!

JAMES IS GETTING RIPPED 💪🏻

A BIG shoutout to James Reilly for his progress with us so far

James came to us wanting to grow lean muscle and look more defined.
As you can see he has clearly achieved that over the last few months with us.

James is very dedicated and always hits his sessions with good intensity each week. We have had him on a progressive hypertrophy and strength programme and honed in on his nutrition.

So far he has lost 6kg of fat mass and gained 4kg of muscle 🔥

Another thing to point out is his postural change. He came to us with a slight scoliosis and muscle tone on his right, which has balanced out a lot through the right muscle releases and exercises.

We can’t wait for more progress and gains 💪🏻

Well done James 👏🏻

What’s your favourite exercise when lifting in the gym?

WOULD YOU BE HAPPY? 🤔😁

Losing an average of 1-2 kg per month for 15 months if it meant you lost a life changing 15kg + of fat mass by the 15th month??? 😮

(See the yellow plate above 👆🏻)🟡

Our 90 day challenge is only one way of many how we help people, for some a longer term approach like this one with can be more suitable. 🤓

In this microwave generation of quick dopamine fixes people are losing the ability to stay the course and embrace the journey to their goal. 😞

DON’T QUIT - otherwise you are back where you started and reinforcing a cycle of defeat. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Losing 1-2 kg per month might seem slow, but it’s sustainable and healthy. Each kilo lost is a victory, a testament to dedication and hard work. 🎉

The road to better health, strength and fitness isn’t always easy, but it’s always worth it! Don’t give up. Push through the doubts, the setbacks, and obstacles. Your future self will thank you.

You got this! 🙌

We asked you the question:

We love this progress made by Pete! 😮

We’d like to say Pete’s an example to the power of persistence and commitment. 📈

From the beginning as a novice in our gym, he’s transformed into a display of what consistent work can achieve. 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

Through Pete’s steady dedication, he’s changed his former self and become stronger and healthier than ever before. 👏🏻

It’s not been easy with work commitments and injuries, but he’s not let them challenges throw him off course. 👀

I’d like to say that Pete’s journey reminds us that when you are open to work with a coach and communicate when challenges come up (not just disappear when things get tough), anything is possible. 🫀

Cheers buddy to your remarkable transformation! 💪

Let’s keep going bud 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

Amazing to see our clients at Sozo Gym reaping the rewards for their hard work and dedication!

Which one are you?

“I CANNOT do X because of my Y”

“I CAN do X despite of my Y”

We often like to hold on to what I call comfort blankets, to prevent ourselves from going out of our comfort zone. Often self imposing barriers on our self improvement and progress.

What are you telling yourself you cannot do?

It’s said that 95% of people over 30 will never sprint again in their life 😳

When did you last flat out sprint??

What’s your WHY? 🤔🤔🤔

Embarking on a health and fitness journey without a clear ‘why’ is akin to setting sail without a destination. While the initial enthusiasm might carry you for a while, it’s the deeper understanding of your ‘why’ that ultimately propels you forward and keeps you anchored during challenging times.

Your ‘why’ is your purpose, your driving force, the reason behind your desire to improve your health and fitness. It’s not just about wanting to look better or fit into a certain size; it’s about uncovering the profound motivations that fuel your actions.

When you unearth your ‘why,’ you tap into a wellspring of inspiration that transcends mere aesthetics. It could be a desire to live a long and vibrant life to see your children grow up, to break free from the shackles of chronic illness, or to set a positive example for loved ones.

Understanding your ‘why’ brings clarity to your goals, helping you set meaningful targets aligned with your values and aspirations. It serves as a compass, guiding you through the myriad choices you encounter on your journey—whether it’s choosing nutritious foods over unhealthy options or prioritising exercise over sedentary habits.

Moreover, your ‘why’ acts as a source of resilience when faced with challenges and setbacks. It infuses your efforts with purpose, empowering you to persevere when motivation wanes and obstacles loom large.

In essence, discovering your ‘why’ is not just a one-time revelation but an ongoing process of introspection and self-discovery. It’s about delving deep into your heart and soul to uncover what truly matters to you and using that insight to fuel your pursuit of health and fitness.

So, take the time to explore your ‘why.’ Reflect on your deepest desires, aspirations, and values. Once you unearth your ‘why,’ cherish it, nurture it, and let it guide you toward a healthier, happier, and more fulfilling life.

😮 1000 DAYS IN A ROW!! ?? 😲

Our good friend and client at Sozo Gym Matthew Bush has today reached 1000 consecutive days of movement goals on his apple watch 💪🏻

Come rain or shine, he’s kept up a standard of activity every day. Whether it be his scheduled workouts, movement, walking or heart rate.

An absolute fantastic achievement and a testiment to the consistency and results he’s acheived with us in nearly 3 years 🥇 🏆

Tonight I set him a 1000 rep workout which was really fun… for me to watch 🤣

WELL DONE MATT! Here’s to another 1000 😂

“Guys! I need to tell you about my knee” 😃

Having just got back from snowboarding🏂 , our client Peter Stockton at Sozo Gym had some positive news to share with me. 👍🏻

When he came to us 3 weeks ago, he told me he’d had an ongoing issue with knee pain.
It was important to get him doing the right exercises, working on the right ranges of movement and building strength around the joint within his programme. This is to ensure he could work on his other goals and not be hindered long term by pain and disfunction.
With some specific exercise choices and hard work from him, he was so happy to inform me he was pain free!

“I’ve just done a week snowboarding, pretty full on all day every day and usually when I get back from doing that, I’m in so much pain. This time I’ve had no pain at all, I can’t believe it”

Below is a picture of Peter doing a Poliquin Step, one of the key exercises in getting him pain free.

Wishing one of our head Coaches a very happy birthday today 🥳

PRE WORKOUTS PART 1 🤯

Before you even consider a ‘pre workout’…

YOU SHOULD MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE BASICS IN CHECK 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

✅NUTRITION IN ORDER. You are fueling your body appropriately for the goal and performance you require. Many are not doing this.

✅PERIODISED TRAINING PHASES. You training has an overall strategy. This includes - Macro, Meso and Micro cycles. This allows for you to maximise training gains for peak performance, decrease the risk of injury, and prevent training plateaus.

✅REST/RECOVERY PROTOCOLS - If you don’t have your sleep and stress under control then adding in a pre workout can be like adding more fuel to a fire and be counter productive. Quality sleep and well managed stress will do wonders for your training compare to any pre workout.
