If you struggle to get to the gym as often during the school holidays, here are some NEAT exercises you can easily incorporate into your daily routine:

1. Household Chores: Wash the windows, clean the bathroom, hoover the house.

2. Gardening: Cut the grass, plant some flowers, water the garden.

3. Food shopping: Park further away from the shop and, if possible, ditch the trolley and carry your bags.

4. Playing with the kids: Join in on their games, go for bike rides, or walk the dog.

If you can't make it to the gym, it's important to stay active💪So remember, when you're cleaning up at home, it doubles as a workout!

We couldn't be more excited to share that our amazing coach, Casey, has just graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Sport and Exercise Science!🎓🎉

Casey has been a part of Team Unit since she was 16 and in college. Since then, she's not only smashed university but also successfully started her own personal training business, working with sports-specific clients. What an inspiration!

Over the years, her dedication, hard work, and passion have truly paid off. And they will continue to! She's doing her master's in Strength and Conditioning next year💪

Casey, you're absolutely awesome, and we're so proud of you and all your achievements. Here's to many more successes ahead!🥂🌟

With the summer holidays approaching, we know it can be challenging to maintain your regular gym routine. By moving your workout to the morning, you're more likely to actually do it, getting it out of the way so you have the rest of the day for family activities.

Friday Fitness Tip...

Incorporate kettlebells into your workouts! Here's why:

1. Improve strength and power: The dynamic movements with kettlebells, such as swings and snatches, help build explosive strength and power.

2. Versatility: Whether you're doing squats or deadlifts, kettlebells can be used in a variety of exercises to target different muscle groups. This versatility keeps your workouts interesting and exciting.

3. Functional fitness: Kettlebell training mimics real-life movements, improving your functional strength and making everyday activities easier and more efficient.

4. Time efficiency: With kettlebells, you can achieve a full-body workout in a short amount of time, perfect for those busy days.

5. Fat burning: The combination of strength and cardio in kettlebell workouts helps you burn more calories during and after your workouts, aiding in weight loss and fat reduction.

Meet Amy, whose fitness journey we can't wait to share💪

Life before The Unit...
Rewind to 2020; the pandemic took its toll on her, like it did for so many of us. Amy found herself 17.5kg heavier and feeling super lethargic, which, being a mum of three, she did not need!

Then, enter her cousin, who wouldn't stop raving about The Unit and how amazing we are😉😄Amy decided to reach out to us and join our KickStart programme.

Life after The Unit...
Fast forward to now, and Amy's fitness journey is such an inspiration!

✅ 17.5kg lighter: Amy's lost those extra kilos, feeling much more confident.
✅ Stronger: Her strength has increased significantly, and she's now lifting weights she never thought possible!
✅ More energy: She's waved goodbye to feeling lethargic all the time.
✅ Better food choices: With a bit of education and motivation, she's making healthier food choices to fuel her body and mind.
✅ Keeping up with the kids: Best of all, Amy can now keep up with her kids again!

A huge well done to Amy👏We're super proud!

Her journey is proof that with the right support and community, anything is possible.

At The Unit, we take pride in being more than just a gym; we educate, motivate and cheer you on each step of the way.

Do you finish your workouts with a smile like this?

Chances are low if you're not one of our members🤣😉

But if you are starting to see exercise as a punishment and have stopped enjoying it, try these tips:

🧑‍🤝‍🧑Find a workout buddy - Working out with a friend or joining groups is one of the best ways to make exercise more enjoyable and social. It provides built-in accountability and support. Ask our members!

🎯Set realistic goals - Set achievable and realistic fitness goals for yourself. Celebrate your progress along the way, no matter how small. This will help keep you motivated and engaged with your workouts.

👂Listen to your body - Pay attention to your body's signals and adjust your workouts accordingly. If you're tired or sore, take a rest day! This will prevent burnout and injury, allowing you to enjoy your workouts in the long run.

If you're interested in joining the unbelievable community we have here at The Unit, send us a DM for more info🙌

Ever heard anyone say, "I'm too old to start lifting weights. It's for younger people."?🤨We hear it far too often! So, here's the truth...

Strength training is beneficial for individuals of ALL ages.

In fact, as you age, maintaining muscle mass and bone density becomes increasingly important for overall health and mobility.

Lifting weights can:
✅Help prevent muscle loss
✅Improve bone density
✅Increase strength
✅Enhance balance
✅Reduce the risk of falls and fractures

It will also contribute to improved mood, energy levels, and overall quality of life.

Age should never be a barrier to starting strength training; it's about finding the right approach and gradually progressing based on individual capabilities and goals.

Feel like this about your gym?👀If not, you should probably DM us to see what the fuss is about😎

Have you been 'getting in shape for summer' or preparing for that one special event? While setting short-term goals can be a great motivator, it's crucial to remember that fitness is a lifelong journey, not just a seasonal sprint.

Of course, we all want to feel confident on the beach or at those summer events, but what happens after? Do you just let all your hard work go down the drain?

It's time to break the cycle of fad dieting and crash workouts. You should focus on long-term, sustainable health and wellness and enjoy your fitness journey.

Wouldn't you rather look and feel your best all year round?

They've done it💪🙌What a weekend!

After achieving their SFG level 1 certification in October, coaches Casey and Louie have now both passed the SFG level 2 skills test🤩

They now have 6 months to complete their strength test, which involves a kettlebell overhead press - 22kg for Casey (which she nearly got!) and a huge 40kg for Louie!

At just 23 and 17 years old, this is such a massive achievement that not many people can say they've done💪

Congratulations to you both; we're all so proud of you!👏

One day until SFG II💪

Good luck to all of the candidates, including our coaches, Casey and Louie!

And make sure you follow us to keep up to date with both days of the certification👀

Find your love for strength training with our KickStart to Fitness program🏋️

By the end of the KickStart, you'll feel motivated and ready to build on your foundations. You'll be looking forward to getting into the gym and achieving your goals.

Only 2 days left until StrongFirst II takes over Teesside💪

An elite team of 16 StrongFirst Certified Instructors from all over the UK and the world are coming to The Unit.

This exceptional group of trainers brings an unmatched wealth of knowledge, skill, and passion for strength training. From diverse backgrounds and countries, each instructor is dedicated to empowering their 'students of strength' with the principles and techniques that define StrongFirst excellence.

We're so thrilled to be hosting an event that will take the training of all 32 candidates to new heights🏋️

The countdown begins⏳

Just 4 days left until the SFG II Kettlebell Instructor Certification is here, at The Unit.

32 candidates, including Coaches Casey and Louie, are coming to Teesside, along with StrongFirst Certified Master Instructors from all over the UK and the world💪

The SFG II Certification is not for everyone. It's a difficult instructor qualification that must be earned, not only at the two-day event but also in the investment that candidates must make in themselves to show up for the certification strong enough to pass.

It's a huge achievement, and we wish everyone the best of luck this weekend!
