A fantastic episode to cap off the series as George is joined by Head Coach Connor. Todays podcast is all about personal trainers -  the reasons why you may need a personal trainer, the benefits and the costs! George and Connor went into great depth and provided some great value.

Drew is a true pioneer in his field, taking his passion to new heights and inspiring thousands of individuals into a new sport.

Drew and Emily have been friends since school resulting in a very humble and honest conversation, giving you a fantastic insight into the mind of someone that has turned his passion into a very lucrative career.

Happy New Year everyone, we hope you managed to relax over the festive period! We kickstart 2021 with a very good friend of ours and professional footballer Conor Chaplin. ‘When your dream becomes reality, dream again' Over the 40 minutes or so you really get a feel for the sacrifices, the hard work and focus it takes to perform at the highest level. Conor shines a light on just how dedicated he is and how he won't be satisfied until he achieves his dream of playing in the football Premier League. Furthermore, in light of Boris's recent announcement of a 3rd national lockdown we ask Conor how the current situation has impacted him and the game of football.

After Emily had a number of conversations with members at the gym and friends about her own personal goals, we thought it was only right to make this week's podcast about ‘running your own race'.

We then dive into how the pair feel their own life goals are going and if they are in line with their expectations. Following this, they share 5 tips to ‘running your own race' and smashing your own personal goals!

“That was one of my favourite chats so far” – George.George & Em share their experiences of growing a sustainable brand in this week's podcast, during a time where going out on your own and taking that risk may seem scarier than ever. George opens up about his early David Lloyd days as a personal trainer and just a few of the key critical success that got him to where he is today. This pod takes a look at some of the critical success factors, with the standout being Em stepping into the business and helping take it to the next level, by taking over control of finances and working ON the business rather than working IN the business.The couple dive into a few of the biggest mistakes they have had to learn the hard way, so that hopefully you don't make the same ones!We hope whether you are an entrepreneur or an inspiring entrepreneur you find good value in this podcast and decide to take that leap of fear.As always, we love hearing from you!

Performing at the highest level with Adam Webster.

After Em watched ‘The Social Dilemma' we thought it was only right we discussed all things social media in this episode. We take a look at how we use social platforms in a positive way and protect ourselves from zapping our own energy by scrolling news feeds that make us compare and inflict negative thoughts.We both believe that social media can be used positively as long as you use it in the right manor, understanding that when you see something that makes you feel bad or unhappy you stop and unfollow or mute that account.It's not all negative! George discusses how he has used Instagram to motivate, inspire and educate him throughout his personal training career. He also recommends a few good quality social media accounts that have helped him including Lift The Bar, Squat University, PT Coach and Mark Coles.Finally, we can't wait for our open day on Saturday 26th September if you are around, please pop in and say hello!
