So another Essential Fitness Camp has finished, the first in Southampton Common and what a general success that has been. One of our campers Lucy Lawless lost 13 inches and 9lbs and appears to be very happy with what she has achieved in that first month with us. I am proud of her and all […]

A bit of a self indulgent blog today just because I feel like it basically! After spending 11 years in IT, something I was never passionate about and just saw as a means to an end, in April after returning from my trip to New York, I just jacked it all in to focus on […]

Well to date, approximately 4 weeks after we started, Stuart has dropped 17lbs in total. An amazing start to his new lifestyle. I am regularly receiving updates and pictures of what and when he is eating, training on his own etc. His training is becoming harder every time I see him, throwing things about, squatting, […]

Yes that is right, our man Stuart is now 16lbs lighter than he was when he started with me just over 3 weeks ago. How good is that? I’ve been pushing Stuart particularly hard this week and last as I have monitored his fitness levels, and they have increased massively. His effort levels have increased […]

So our man Clive now is to be outed, as he really doesn’t mind me revealing his name, I waited to see how he felt about it before doing so. Real name you ask? Stuart. There we have it. He doesn’t seem anything like the last Clive that I met, which is a good thing, […]

So I received a text message from a camper of mine Saturday night asking this question: “I have a friend who wants to come to Essential Fitness Camp in Eastleigh. He has been cleared to exercise by his GP and wants to come along.” My first thoughts were that this would be fine and of […]

So I took out 3 clients yesterday as a tester session for some Interval Training. They said to me afterwards they thought it was incredibly hard. It was, I made it like that. 5 lots of 15-20 second sprints (depending on ability) with a minutes rest in between. I was a little more relaxed than […]

Apologies if this blog is a little garbled and ill-written, I am jet lagged still and wiped out! I have just returned from seeing my amazing family in New York, which I am still recovering from. Amazing really what traveling and time zone differences does to the body. New York is a fantastic place. The […]

This could be considered a bit of a rant really, but its factually based so please be patient with me. A calorie controlled diet, means you are constantly watching what you eat on a regular basis. Fine. However, if you are reducing your calories, generally you are reducing your food intake right? So then what […]
