Screw The New Year Resolutions!

Nick — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 10:10:09 +0000

I don’t really have all that much to do with New Year resolutions. I don’t hold with them too much personally, for reasons I’ll get into in a minute, and professionally I have never observed a rise in interest in UP’s personal training services at this time of year (the approach to summer is Read more . . .

Do What You Love!

I had a bit of a wake up call today.

I was interviewed this afternoon by a young man called Adam Gethin for his online magazine, Read more . . .

It all began with a very innocuous little post I made on Facebook at the weekend. As is my fortnightly habit I’d been updating my computer with the latest photographs of my kids, Roman and Mia, and I found one I particularly liked.

Doing What Is Necessary: What’s Your Weight Loss Excuse?!

Nick — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 09:13:07 +0000

It is 7am on a cold and windy Saturday morning, and I am tired and should be full of weight loss excuses. Actually, if I am honest with you, and with myself, I am more than tired. I am drained, knackered, and in need of a holiday. In the last 13 months I have had one 3 day break to Barcelona, and Read more . . .

This Really is THE Best Motivation in the World!

Nick — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 00:52:53 +0000

I freely admit that I work too hard and neglect to prioritise any type of real work / life balance. Case in point being it is nigh on midnight, my day has been stupidly long, and rather than sleeping in my bed (where I both want and need to be), I am writing the blog that I love and wish I had more Read more . . .

Don’t Let Something Fishy Stand In The Way Of Success!

Nick — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 09:49:03 +0000

Wise men will always tell us that life is all about balance, but in my experience people who bang on about this are either individuals who have never achieved anything of great significance in their lives, or characters who have reached certain heights of accomplishment and then conveniently forgotten Read more . . .

Are You Prepared To Die on A Treadmill?

I am not one given to the idol worship of movie stars, but you can't help but love Will Smith (go to 4.20 into the video for the best bit). Success leaves clues, and Will Smith has been consistently at the top of his game for nigh on 20 years now. And the secret to his success isn't necessarily talent Read more . . .

No One Loves a Sheep…

Nick — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 21:43:03 +0000

Copycats abound in all professions and I guess the irritation of finding hordes of unoriginal thinkers lifting your ideas should be tempered by the fact that this means you are a leader, not a follower.

Bad Cartoon 1: How To get Results as a Personal Trainer

Nick — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 13:28:56 +0000

Finding a halfway decent personal trainer is exceptionally hard. I should know better than most as I interview dozens every month and am almost always singularly unimpressed.
