"I really want to lose weight, especially around my tummy, which is big swollen and I look like I’m pregnant, even though I’m not. My weight yo-yos up and down. I wear loose clothes to hide my shape and body. I look awful and feel disgusting. Although I love my food, I battle with comfort, emotional eating and food cravings, especially sugary, sweet foods. I want to eat a diet that is right for my body, be consistent with an exercise routine and have a lifestyle with a healthy approach long term…”

“I am fairly healthy and exercise at least 3-4 times a week. The trouble is that I just can’t seem to make any progress – I don’t see the kind of results I so desperately want. I want to be strong, lean and toned and I’d really like to lose some of the extra flab around my back and stomach. I try to stick with my programme and be consistent but there are times when it just doesn’t happen. I want to mantain my health and strength, while maintaining a healthy weight and clothing size…”

“I have an important event that I want to feel gorgeous for but I am not happy with the way I look at the moment, I’ve put on weight and I cant seem to shake it off. I’m lacking in energy and I’ve lost my sparkle. I want to look and feel younger again. I would like this month to kick start a whole new health and fitness lifestyle, I want to look and feel better about myself. I’m panicking because I’ve only got a certain amount of time to get in shape and feel better about myself...”

Let's Get Started!

Functional Fitness 11am @ ‘Alive Gym’ Brighton every Thursday.

Come and join me this Thursday at 11am @ Alive Gym in Brighton for my Functional Fitness class…First class FREE!
Functional fitness and functional exercise are the latest gym buzzwords. They focus on building a body capable of doing real-life activities in real-life positions, not just lifting a certain amount of weight in an idealized posture created by a gym machine.
Conventional weight training isolates muscle groups, but it doesn’t teach the muscle groups you’re isolating to work with others,
The key to functional exercise is integration. It’s about teaching all the muscles to work together rather than isolating them to work independently
