How It Works

Before you can start a training and nutritional plan, or at least one that’s actually going to be effective, I will carry out a number of tests to establish your current state of health and fitness. You see there isn’t a blueprint for weight management. How you need to train and what you need to eat is different for everyone, even if the goal is the same. It’s going to depend on your age, gender, somatotype (body type) and lifestyle. So how can someone possibly give you a bespoke nutritional and exercise programme (not a useless general plan) if they don’t know anything about your body? How can you track the effects of your training and diet if you don’t have a benchmark? Here is what I will aim to find out about you:

• Resting Heart Rate
• Resting Blood Pressure
• Height/Weight
• Body Composition (Body fat/Skeletal muscle/Water)
• Visceral Fat
• BMR (Basic Metabolic Rate)
• Cardiorespiratory fitness
• Cardiorespiratory recovery rate
• Muscular Strength
• Muscular Endurance
• Flexibility
• Posture

Did you know that 80% of your weight loss or weight management results come from the time you spend out of the gym?! Lets say you train at the gym 4 times a week for 1 hour at a time, that amounts to less than 2% of your week. Therefore, if you don’t have a suitable plan for your time outside the gym then you are severely compromising your results.

I go beyond the gym walls and ensure you are living a lifestyle that will help to get you into shape and feeling great!

Honestly – 70% of your results come down to your nutrition. If you are not following a suitable nutritional plan, or worse still are on some fad diet, then it doesn’t matter how hard you train in the gym, you will not get the long lasting results you’re looking for. I will give you individual nutritional guidance which :

Doesn’t require you to starve yourself or cut out carbs like a lot of diets, causing your metabolism to slow right down and make you feel tired and hungry all day long.
Doesn’t require eating broccoli all day – You’ll still be able to have the foods you enjoy.

Doesn’t involve following set meal plans – You’ll have flexibility and choice on what you eat.
Doesn’t require you to count calories or weigh your food.
It’s pretty simple really. You’ll quickly create habits and make nutrition a lifestyle, not a diet.

For some people, undertaking a new lifestyle, nutrition and exercise plan all in one go is a lot to take on and juggling this with your current work & home life can be difficult if you aren’t organised.

In order to succeed and reach your weight loss/toning goal, it is essential that you are consistently following your nutritional plan. Therefore, I will sit down with you and write up each meal for the week with you so that you hit your target macros each day.

You will be able to incorporate the foods you’d like to have and by planning out in advance your meals it takes out the stress and day to day thinking.

The meal plans don’t have to be rigid, in fact by creating a number of breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack ‘meals’ it will allow you to mix and match to ensure you don’t get bored.

If you’re going to start a lifestyle of healthy nutrition you need to know what foods to buy. Do you know what you should be looking for in the supermarket? If you’re going to buy a yoghurt for example, can you identify which the healthiest choice is?  Do you understand the nutritional labels and ingredients on the foods you’re buying to enable you to confidently identify whether an item packaged as ‘healthy’ truly is or not? How do you avoid the temptations of buying junk food?

You need to be confident with these things and making sure you’re filling your fridge and cupboards with the right stuff. I help you sort your shopping by joining you to your local supermarket and show how.

Train with me in a discreet, private facility located right on the beach. You will not only be training progressively and efficiently but you will also learn HOW to train.

I believe in educating my clients, so that one day they will have the motivation and knowledge to be able to train themselves safely and effectively. Not only will you learn techniques and training systems, but you will also learn the purpose and benefits of each element because in order to be motivated to achieve a goal you need to understand what you’re doing and why you’re doing it, during every step of the journey.

For many people trying to overhaul their lifestyle with nutrition and exercise, it isn’t just as simple as flicking a switch. In order to create the necessary changes and keep them going long-term it requires having the right mindset.

Two of the biggest challenges for people are building their self-belief and becoming open to changing their ways and taking on new habits.

My goal is to help you realize that the only thing stopping you from moving forward is understanding that you can change.

With mindset training I can help you set meaningful goals, change your unhealthy habits, gain willpower and motivation, plus strengthen your self-belief.
