Good luck to Carrick Rugby today, as they aim to win a third consecutive BT Shield.

A huge well done to our client David, who hit his 2 stone weight loss target this week since starting his fitness journey last January. His success has been down to nothing more than consistently working hard over the past year and a bit. He trains 3 times a week and made the necessary changes to his lifestyle and diet and has achieved great success in doing so. Great work David 👍👍👍

Happy birthday to our client Emily🎁 who is celebrating her birthday today much healthier than last year. Emily started at The Fit Pit last November, she started with two personal training sessions per week with Louise and made relevant changes to her diet. With a gradual loss on the scales ( still with the odd night out 😂) Emily cut back her Pt to one session per week and joined the barbell Fat Burning class. She has also just finished The Ladies Who Lift programme and we are very pleased to say she has hit her 2 stone loss in 6 months !!! 🎉 Enjoy the rest of your birthday see you in morning 😂

Great progress from Scott since the start of the year. Scott was a for.er member of the Fit Pit, he enjoyed fitness so much he went and got his PT qualifications and now does some work for us at the gym. However, just because you are a qualified PT doesn't mean you are exempt from putting in the work and you can see Scott has made some great progress over the past few months. People often just assume that because you are a PT it means it's 'easy' but he is a busy dad with a couple of jobs and faces all the same obstacles as the next person. Scott is available to book for one to one Personal Training with us, get in touch for more info.

Struggling with your training? Not getting the results you want from your training? Confused about nutrition? Want to learn a new skill but not sure where to start? . There's so many people out there that don't know how to train and eat properly and spend years wasting time, money and effort with zero return in their investment at the gym. . Does this sound familiar? . To solve this problem I am running a 4 week Built Lean Fundamentals Programme. . This is not a training session, more of an education programme that will allow you to gain the knowledge and confidence to ensure success with your training for a lifetime. . The Built Lean Fundamentals will take place on the following Saturday's - 10th, 17th, 24th and 31st of March and each session will be from 10am-12noon, you should be looking to attend all 4 dates. . Over the 4 week period we will cover all bases ensuring you finish the 4 weeks with a clear outline of how to live a healthier, stronger and hopefully happier...

I like this. And not just for the gym. #💪🏼 #rulestoliveby #gym #life #whatisyourwhy #babyboy #everydaysaschoolday #snowday

What's stopping you from starting now? - Don't wait for Monday, January the 1st, when you get paid, when you have new gym trainers, when it stops snowing, when you have more time. - Too many people wait until everything is perfect, the reality is it's never going to be perfect. If you are waiting for the perfect moment you will always get stuck behind an excuse. - Start now, if you are on your lunch break then go for a walk, stuck at home - at do some press ups and squats. Commit to a training session tonight, plan a nutritious meal for you and the family. - Start now . . . . . #Fitness #strength #calisthenics #bodyweighttraining #fatloss #gym #personaltraining #troon #ayrshire #motivation #nutrition #ladieswholift #instafit #fitnessaddict #eatclean #eathealthy #kettlebell #barbell #fitfam #healthy #health #life #goals #exercise #workout

When it comes to achieving your goals it is important to understand failing will be part of the process but it's important to differentiate between 'failing' and 'failure' This is from the book 'Mindset with Muscle' by @grenadejay - well worth checking out the book and his podcast by the same name.

Pushed for time? Give this 20 minute workout a try - as many rounds as you can of 3 x Man Makers, 6 x Burpees, 9 x Jump Squats, 12 x Squat Thrusts, 15 x Swings

WORKOUT WEDNESDAY - Sting in the Tail. . This conditioning session will keep you warm today 🔥🔥🔥- starting with a 30-1 ladder, alternating between Kcals, Swings and Burpees. . You will do 30 Kcals, 29 Swings, 28 Burpees, 27 Kcals, 26 Swings, 25 Burpees - continue in this manner down to 1 Burpee. . Then finish with 50 Kcals, 50 Swings and 50 Burpees........ . Get tagging your workout partner 👊

State of That + Cards 🃏

Set backs, plateaus and failure are all part of the process....... . "The secret is to show up, do the work, and go home"

The great thing about fitness and training is that there is no finish line. . You can always push yourself further and get better 💪

The countdown is on....... - Get in touch for details 💪

It Depends........ . Probably my most used answer when it comes to dealing with nutrition questions. However, this is not a cop out – the reality is there are so many grey areas when it comes to nutrition and diet……. . “Can I eat Pizza?” “How many calories should I eat?” “Will eating carbs make me fat?” “Should I skip breakfast?” “Can I drink Alcohol?” . All the questions listed could be answered with – “It depends”. It can be frustrating for those looking for a definitive answer but in most cases the damage is usually in the dose. . “Can I eat Pizza?” – are you talking about 1 slice a month or 2 pizzas a day? This is where “It depends” really is the best answer. Rather than focusing on eliminating foods you enjoy, you should focus on how you can incorporate the foods you enjoy within your diet. . However if you are looking to lose body fat and /or maintain a lean physique you probably won’t get away with eating a Pizza every day or numerous times a week. A diet that is higher...

Friday Bro Sesh, doubling up on 2 of 15 minute workouts from @theandrew.tracey . Ascending and descending ladders of the Bench Press and Press ups then the same with Pull Ups and Curls. . Bench Press and Pull Ups are going 10 reps down to 1 and the Press Ups and Curls are going 2 reps up to 20 reps doing the evens only. . Use an appropriate load for the Bench, the standard is bodyweight and if the Pull Ups are too much, switch to floor chins or a heavy Row variation . Enjoy that pump
