Hello big boy! The hack squat has arrived! 👏🏻🙌🏻 #legday #primalstrength

On Sunday the 26th August a group of 10 of us are looking to flip an 80kg tyre from brydekirk to the bluebell 💪🏻🍻 we need a couple more volunteers & some suggestions of local charities & I think I might need a medic! 😷😂 suggestions & volunteers please comment below! 😘 xx

I had to share this pic today, it made me smile sooo much!!! It's not very often i do 'transformation' photos for a few reasons, i have had my own journey with fitness, body image & mental well being and sometimes photos & scales can really get me down, I don't like seeing a saggy bit or asking myself where did that new stretch mark come from, I especially struggled with the weight gain from strength training, i have been programmed from a young age and many years at slimming classes that the only way to see progress is from the number on the scales going down, there's so much more to transformations than this. At the moment my own goals are strength gains & a positive mental outlook, how do you capture that in a picture? Here's an insight of the progress i see as a trainer... Somebody consistently making it to the gym once a week after having had a panic attack just from thinking about it. Somebody increasing their reps or weight from an exercise they couldn't even do when they first started. Or a tired mum who has eventually decided to prioritise themselves for a change and have 1/2 an hour to themselves every week. Before and after don't show someone who has went from exercising because they hate their body, to falling in love with training & seeing what their body is capable of, we get to see people who have issues with food & we help them overcome these issues and educate them that food isn't something to be scared of or feel guilty about. We make people realise that training is fun & serious at the Same time. Transformation pics is a whole lot more than what you see in front of you. In this day and age we all seem to focus on the quick fix, we want that summer body at the click of our fingers, we want to feel better about ourselves after eating one lettuce leaf and drinking our detox drink which promises you the bikini body in 28 days unfortunately this is not something we can order from amazon & pay for next day delivery!! I wish!! We have had the pleasure of Rach Louise Jamieson company for the last 2 years, this transformation didn't just happen overnight, no quick fixes, no detox tea, just simple, honest, hard graft & sensible eating. Rachel still enjoys her weekends, is in classes an average of 4 times a week, she has a busy lifestyle but always manages to fit her classes in, she sometimes brings her friends with her & is often the one that is keeping them all working, especially Scott Rafferty & Jen Sommerville Rach is the fittest and strongest that she's ever been, her confidence is amazing, even on a bad day Rach comes in with a smile on her face. In this picture i see a woman who is healthier, happier, fitter, stronger & proud of their body and what it can achieve, a girl that always tries her best (even after a bank holiday weekend) As a trainer i am in the privileged position of being a part of these transformations on a daily basis & I'm so proud of you all for every achievement big or small. @ LActive we focus on the bigger picture & for me that is the best picture of them all x

How about this for a new addition to the family!!! 🚴🏻💜 #wattbike this is available for use 24/7 I will however be taking bookings so you can secure your slot daily. Booking is recommended at peak times 🚴🏻 xx

Just look at this face! I couldn't be prouder of Anna, Paris marathon absolutely smashed! 🏃🙌🏻💥 this is what 5 & 1/2 years of utter dedication does for you!! You can throw anything at Anna Chistyakova & she would give it 110% (unless it involves coordination! 😂) that smile comes with her everytime she steps foot in my gym & it's even bigger when she leaves. This is one of the reasons Myself & holly continue to do what we do. 💜 xx

Classes have been awesome this week, loads of hard work from you all, well done 👍🏻 my highlight was defo the pack of cards & the amount of jokers! 🙈😂🙌🏻💪🏻 have a good weekend xxx

Watch the border news tonight #managednottoswear 🙌🏻😂 #pinneys #devastating #community

In light of the closure of pinneys, anyone who has a current membership with LActive & is affected directly or indirectly (eg if your partner is being made redundant & this makes you question your membership) you will qualify for a free 12 month continuation of your membership while you get back on your feet again. I was made redundant 5 years ago & It knocked me flat on my back, I used my redundancy money to buy myself 6 sets of kettlebells & the rest as they say is history 💪🏻 stay positive guys 💜 xx
