Happy Birthday to Brendon! 🎂 @illbero ⁣ We've been working together now for over a year and made some awesome changes. ⁣ ⁣ First, we focused on increasing strength and muscle while also rehabilitating the shoulder.⁣ ⁣ Brendon has increased his strength considerably and made huge improvements to muscle size. 💪💪⁣ ⁣ 4 months ago we reset the goal to drop some bodyfat in preparation for the big 40.⁣ ⁣ Weight loss is never linear. We had ups and downs and had the odd off days where food wasn't the best. ⁣ ⁣ But overall, we still smashed our goal and looking in some of the best shape of his life.⁣ ⁣ Well done Brendon super proud!⁣ ⁣ Brendon had this to say:⁣ Big thanks to Chris Brine Fitness Group and everyone here for helping me through 4 months' hard mahi! So stoked to have dropped about 12 kg and not gone backwards too far in my lifting. Turns out the trick was to do exactly what Chris says! No cheating and be honest with him about food, cardio, etc. I really enjoyed having a goal for when I turned 40 yesterday🥳 . Was great to see the scales going down each week, and achieving a weekly goal made job changes and other things seem easier. I'm even finally used to logging things in my fitness pal constantly. 4 months doesn't actually seem that long now! #fitness #gym #workout #fitnessmotivation #fit #motivation #bodybuilding #training #health #love #lifestyle #instagood #fitfam #healthylifestyle #transformation #gymlife #healthy #gymmotivation #personaltrainer #crossfit #instagram #muscle #fitnessmodel #follow #fashion #exercise #mindset #weightloss #gains #mentalhealth https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch9DTkArMzF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Change comes slowly. Behavior change is hard and working on ourselves is very comforting and uncomfortable. The only way to be successful in improving yourself is being honest with yourself. But there is a difference between being honest with yourself and just hating on yourself. One we can learn from, the other only sets us back. Learn to accept the good and the bad. We can't stop negative thoughts but we can learn to not let them control us. With self improvement we not only improve our mind but we can improve all aspects of our life. Including our fitness, strength, nutrition, etc. If you are wanting to improve your life, your fitness, your health. Get in touch with me to discuss. #fitness #gym #workout #fitnessmotivation #fit #motivation #bodybuilding #training #health #love #lifestyle #instagood #fitfam #healthylifestyle #sport #gymlife #healthy #gymmotivation #personaltrainer #crossfit #instagram #muscle #fitnessmodel #follow #fashion #exercise #mindset #weightloss #gains #mentalhealth https://www.instagram.com/p/Chok1ZIOXsC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So you want to compete in bodybuilding 👌🔥🔥 Reality check. Bodybuilding is hard. You will have to make sacrifices You will be hungry You will be tired You will be moody You will never be good enough for yourself Your mind will play tricks on you This is not an easy sport. You MUST work hard for months on end and stay on plan with your training, nutrition, cardio, mental health. This is not something to can start 16 weeks out. Look at 12 months, 24 months. What can you do in that time is far greater than 12 weeks out. Bodybuilding is an awesome sport that i love. But you need to understand it. Don't go into it blind. Get advice, get a coach! #fitness #gym #workout #fitnessmotivation #fit #motivation #bodybuilding #training #health #love #lifestyle #instagood #fitfam #healthylifestyle #sport #gymlife #healthy #gymmotivation #personaltrainer #crossfit #instagram #muscle #fitnessmodel #follow #fashion #exercise #mindset #weightloss #gains #mentalhealth https://www.instagram.com/p/Chbbdv5rvQk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Client Testimony 👉👉 Swipe right to read. @scottrowlands1 has been working with me online and we've changed a lot about his training and nutrition. But I'm most proud of Scott's mindset. He's more confident within himself and able to adjust his mindset to focus on more positive outcomes rather then get stuck in the negative. Especially when things aren't going well in life like getting sick, work being very full on, etc. Thank you Scott it's a pleasure working with you and I'm looking forward to seeing your journey unfold. 👌🔥👌🔥👌🔥👌 Dm me to start your journey #fitness #gym #workout #fitnessmotivation #fit #motivation #bodybuilding #training #health #love #lifestyle #instagood #fitfam #healthylifestyle #sport #gymlife #healthy #gymmotivation #personaltrainer #crossfit #instagram #muscle #fitnessmodel #follow #fashion #exercise #mindset #weightloss #gains #mentalhealth https://www.instagram.com/p/Cha32-NhknH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Coming to the gym to do whatever will give you whatever results. No one reaches goals by accident. Having a plan is bare minimum. What I focus on with my clients is ; 1. Structure in their life 2. A plan for success 3. Accountability 4. Guidance 24/7 5. Nutrition 6. Training 7. Mental health 8. Building a better version of you All these things are wrapped up and work together to help you improve your life. Your success is my success. My whole goal is to take someone from where they are now and chage their lives to be healthier, happier, have more balance, better confidence, and in general, just improving all aspects in life. By working on these things in our training, at home, during work...guess what, you start realizing what else you can do, what your value is, and you become a more happier, positive person. DM me to get started on your life goals. #fitness #gym #workout #fitnessmotivation #fit #motivation #bodybuilding #training #health #love #lifestyle #instagood #fitfam #healthylifestyle #sport #gymlife #healthy #gymmotivation #personaltrainer #crossfit #instagram #muscle #fitnessmodel #follow #fashion #exercise #mindset #weightloss #gains #mentalhealth https://www.instagram.com/p/ChTf0d6rP_E/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁, 𝗡𝗶𝘅 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲⁣ Before you put positive thinking into practice, look for any negative thoughts that may be running through your mind. These include:⁣ ⁣ 𝗔 𝗯𝗮𝗱 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿. Do you overlook the good things about a situation and get wrapped up in the negatives? For example, you enjoy a fun dinner out with friends, but the restaurant gets your bill wrong at the end of the night. You leave feeling annoyed and frustrated, forgetting about the good time you had.⁣ ⁣ 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗲. Do you tend to take on the blame for something bad or disappointing that happens? For example, a friend declines an invitation from you, so you assume it’s because they don’t want to spend time with you⁣ ⁣ 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿. This means you have one setback and then expect the worst to happen. For example, your car won’t start in the morning, so you think the rest of your day is destined to be doomed.⁣ ⁣ 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸-𝗮𝗻𝗱-𝘄𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴. Do you see things as either good or bad, with no middle ground? In this mindset, if things aren’t perfect, they’re automatically bad.⁣ ⁣ When you notice a negative thought, try to stop it and shift your focus to the positive. Think rationally about the situation. If it helps you to let go, you can give yourself and those around you grace. (You can still hold them accountable for their actions.)⁣ ⁣ Your negative thoughts won’t go away overnight. But with practice, you can train yourself to have a more positive outlook. Remember, you aren’t overlooking the facts. You’re just including those that are good.⁣ ⁣ 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴⁣ Once you have a handle on negative thinking, it’s time to play up the positive. Try these ways to do that:⁣ ⁣ 𝟭. 𝗦𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗲 (yes, this actually works and has some great studies behind how smiling can briten your day.)⁣ 𝟮. 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻⁣ 𝟯. 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗮 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹.⁣ 𝟰. 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝘀.

Got a very cool message from a past client I used to train 1 on 1. @gymingjohnny has been continuing on from where we left off. Looking awesome, making gains, but more importantly confidence is up which plays a huge role in our mindset and overall happiness in life. Loving it johnny.

𝗜𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲?🤷‍♂️⁣ ⁣ So many times i hear that people know how to train but in the same sentence say but they have done the same thing for the last 6 months plus. ⁣ ⁣ Is this you? 👉 Are you coming in and doing what you feel like at the time?⁣ 👉 Are you stuck on the same weight?⁣ 👉 Are you going through the motions?⁣ ⁣ You're in your comfort zone and that's where you'll stay. ⁣ ⁣ We need structure so when we come to the gym we have a plan. We can execute the plan and get better results. ⁣ ⁣ Otherwise we tend to flounder and only do what we like or are comfortable doing.⁣ ⁣ This Won't help you reach your go goals. ⁣ ⁣ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗺𝘆 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵?⁣ What I do for training with my clients is focus on a variety of phases.⁣ ⁣ Priority is on form, technique, and control. This is because we want to train for a long tume and not just try to PB every set.⁣ 1 rep PBs don't improve strength, they improve confidence and ego. Confidence is important in training but it's not going to nature you stronger. ⁣ I move my clients through different phases, like movement, stability, strength, power, explosive, etc⁣ ⁣ And every 8 weeks we change the plan. ⁣ This is to keep you motivated and challenged in your training. ⁣ ⁣ We work on progressively overloading each session.⁣ ⁣ By changing the plan every 8 weeks we not only keep it interesting but we can mitigate plateaus and sneak in mini deloads as you adjust to the new plan every 8 weeks.⁣ ⁣ Can you run 1 plan for longer? sure you can, as long as you're progressing then you're good. But what tends to happen is our intensity drops subconsciously as we are getting bored of the training. Get in touch to discuss your training and if it can be better. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg5WJK4h7t3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Every month I do new challenges in our Private Facebook group. A big part of what I focus on is mindset. So when my clients post messages like this it makes my day. Health and fitness isn't just looking good, losing weight, shaping, etc. It's about changing and improving all of the above but also the mindset. How we view ourselves, our confidence, our self worth, etc. By focusing on our mindset this also helps us in other aspects of our life like, work, relationships, career goals, study, etc. If you want to start improving on your self worth, body, mindset then get in touch.
