6AM Spin

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 10:38:13 GMT

"Who on earth would be mad enough to do that?" were the comments alot of people made when we first started this class. I know that some sadists just enjoy getting up and blasting themselves early morning but there is a good reason for it.....trust me!

The main reason is to burn more fat first thing in the morning and to get the session out the way for the day. I promised people they would feel fantastic after they had done it and I wasnt lying! we now have 11 people attending the class and we are looking to do another one on a Thursday, people enjoy it that much. if you fancy a go book yourself in its great fun........honestly!

BOGOF This December

Thu, 08 Dec 2011 10:21:46 GMT

Where shall I start? Well firstly the 2011 National Fitness Awards, we were really pleased to be finalists at the awards and it was an honour to be placed in the last 18 gyms in the country to be running for national gym of the year. This year it wasn’t for us to win but as a whole it was a fantastic experience and an achievement for a gym in a village in West Yorkshire to be up against some huge gyms and ones form city centres, with that in mind I think we had achieved before we turned up so well done everyone involved over the last 7 years for what we have become as a gym and community.

Thank You to you all for getting us there.

As a big thank you and to celebrate our achievement we like to offer all our members and potential members a great offer for December to round off a cracking year.

You can give it to a friend, sell it on (cheeky) or add it onto your own it’s entirely up to you. If your memberships not due until next year, don’t worry as long as you pay in December we can add it on to the end. If you want to get a gift for someone why not extend your membership and we can give you the free one as a gift voucher! Or if you want to buy a 12 month peak membership for £320 you and a friend could share the cost so £160 each for a 12 month peak membership!!!

We can be as flexible as you like with the options to give you the best value possible from your membership at one of the best gyms in the country 2011, and hopefully you could be bring along a friend too.

Gym Of The Year?

Thu, 06 Oct 2011 07:48:22 GMT

We had some really exciting news last week, 8 years after buying a run down dump of a gym with less then 100 members on its books we have just been shortlisted for regional gym of the year!! WOW this is judged by industry professionals looking at how youu stand out from the rest and give that bit extra (like I have always said, you have have the most expensive equipment and facility on earth, if the people you deal with are lack lustre or lacking real knowledge then whats the point?)

The industry has recognised our achievements, with an innovation we have created with the Warehouse Lipo Lounge and the NVQ 3 qualification we have written for the treatments. The hard works not over, we have an awards ceremony to attend in November where the regional winners are annunced who then go forward to national gym of the year! one step at a time but that would be very nice.

I have to say 8 years on we have over 700 members, we treat them as well as we possibly can which I feel goes a very long way, our member numbers show that and now the industry itself is starting to recognise 'that gym in a village in West Yorkshire' has beaten alot of others near and far in towns and cities just to get to this stage.

Well done to everyone who has been involved in making the gym what it is today and for what its going to be tomorrow but most importantly it wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the members so THANK YOU!

Testimonials

Thu, 21 Jul 2011 05:28:00 GMT

Hi guys,

Even though I always knew the lipo lounge would be an amazing success....... I must say I am taken aback to just how its gone....

.....thoroughly loved and enjoyed by our customers I wanted to share a few of their thoughts of their time with Warehouse Lipo Lounge.

May give you some insight into why the majority of them rebook further sessions after each course of 6 are complete!

Tony Mitchell

Before Warehouse Lipo Lounge I had tried various diets that worked for a short time, but I always put the weight back on......plus more! Ultrasonic lipo was an unheard of treatment so I didn't know what to expect. I was grossly overweight so I wanted a miracle......

And a miracle is what I got from week one! I'm 73 years old the encouragement and expertise from the team at Warehouse Lipo Lounge was just what I needed. The main thing is IT WORKS! I would definitely recommend it to others because it does what it says on the tin.

Sorya Jefferson

I thought that Warehouse Lipo lounge was too good to be true, before I went down there I had previously tried various diets and exercise programmes. I wanted to reduce my stomach fat with the ultrasonic lipo treatments.

I have had 10 sessions now and with the nutrition profile included I have lost a total of 13lb and inches. I now know what eating plan to use and I am now working the inside and outside of my body. I would recommend it to everyone, it does exactly what it says and you get great results. Friendly staff make it a please too which is always a bonus.

Wendy Campbell

When I first heard about warehouse Lipo Lounge I thought it was a little bit suspect and doubted the treatment would work. I had previously exercised but still wanted to lose fat from my thigh area. I have managed to get a reduction in my thighs giving a much improved appearance and smoother legs. Not only did I have the treatments I also got advice on dietary requirements and exercise.

I would absolutely recommend it! Tasha who did my treatments was fantastic, I'm very pleased with the results, worth every penny!

If you would like to investigate the treatment and the complete service we provide please dont hesitate to contact me or my staff - WE ARE HAPPY TO HELP! :0)

Thu, 30 Jun 2011 10:54:00 GMT

Its been an extremely busy start to the year in 2011 not only busy but it has been a very steep learning curve for myself at home and at work. I have two little girls taht are growing up so fast its untrue (they are even telling me off now!) late last year I was diagnosed with skin cancer which has been swiftly dealt with, we then launched Warehouse Lipo Lounge at the end of February which I thought would give people great results, it hasn't done that its given them unbelievable results and because of the resounding success we have been busy working away at franchising what we are doing here in Honley to roll it out accross the country!

After months of hard work from everyone here at the gym our new franchise is now ready to launch. "Sound Physique" will be opening accross the country and to celebrate the birth of a new company and to thank everyone for the support and hard work they have put in we will be holding a launch party. Watch this space and I will be postinng more very soon.

If you are intersted in a franchise or know someone that maybe then let me know. Keep your eyes peeled for our lauch coming very soon.

FAQ For Ultrasonic Lipo

Fri, 04 Feb 2011 09:22:29 GMT

I have been getting quite a few emails asking alot of questions so thought it may be best to put the most common ones up here for all to see. If you have any questions that are not here then please feel free to email me martine@warehousefit.com

And dont forget to book your free place on the 26th of February for our launch even if you jut want a few glasses of bubbly!

How soon will I see results?
Often results are visible with the first session but will improve further over the course of 4 treatments. Our trained technicians will assess the final result 3 weeks after completing the six sessions. Maximum results require at least 6 to 20 treatment sessions per area.

Will the effect be long-lasting?
The fat cells treated with Lipo will not return or re-grow, so that is a permanent effect. However, the length of time that the body shaping will last for is really in your hands.
How much you eat and how much exercise you take will also affect your long-term body shape. So if you take in more calories than you use, you weight and fat will increase and the permanent removal of fat cells from your treatment will be hidden by your weight gain.

What about future weight gain with fat moving to other areas?
This is a common misunderstanding. Following Lipo, should you experience weight gain or loss, it will tend to be proportionately distributed over your entire body. Once you have fat removed it is gone. Assuming a healthy lifestyle of proper diet and exercise, it will not return.

Are there any side effects?
Ultrasonic Lipo is an extremely safe treatment as it is non-surgical and non-invasive.

Is there any downtime?None. You can return to work immediately after Lipo.

What happens after treatment?
You will need to avoid alcohol for 4 days after each treatment because your liver will be busy processing the fat that has been broken down by the Lipo therapy. Also try to drink plenty of water and keep yourself hydrated.
Warehouse Gym will provide all clients with a healthy eating and exercise plan to ensure you get the best results possible.

How is the Procedure of Ultrasonic Liposuction Done?

The technician focuses a round ultrasonic amplifier around the area being treated which delivers ultrasonic energy to subcutaneous fat

During the procedure the ultrasonic waves bursts the fat cells membranes and so effectively 'melts' the fat. The contents pass through the lymphatic system and then leave the body through the liver within 2 to 3 weeks after the procedure.

Warehouse Ultrasonic Lipo Lounge Info

Fri, 21 Jan 2011 14:51:59 GMT

A little more info on what Ultrasonic Lipo is and what offers are available to you pre launch.

So ultrasonic lipo what is it? You have heard of lipo suction where you are put under anesthetic small cuts are made in your skin and a metal rod is inserted under the skin to suck out fat cells for good. Ultrasonic lipo works in the same way by removing the cells but without putting you to sleep, or making cuts in your skin or by sucking them out it is non invasive and pain free! Not only this ultrasonic lipo is a fraction of the cost and its now on your doorstep in YORKSHIRE!

By attaching the ultrasonic lipo pads to your designated area the pain free ultrasonic waves melt way the fat cells for good they will then be sent into your lymphatic system and flushed away, simple as that. As you know I am a huge advocate of there is no quick fix and I am still and advocate of that. The thing with ultrasonic lipo which is the same as lipo suction is you must continue exercising and eating a balanced diet or the remaining fat cells will grow larger again or your body will want to store fat elsewhere. This is why at Warehouse Lipo Lounge we are the first place in the UK to offer Ultrasonic Lipo along with Diet and Exercise advice you can even go for the works and look at personal training to get really exceptional results, it will be like sending your body for a full refurb inside and out!

I have to say with my background when my partner Martine decided to test this machine I said "yeh yeh do what you like just don't waste too much money" I was very sceptical, two weeks later after two sessions I decided to jump her on our fat measuring scales and low and behold she had lost two pound of fat now this may not sound a lot but losing two pound of fat off 30 pound of fat is a lot in two weeks and I had to say her body shape had changed! I was shocked I really was so after a lot of investigation and testing we have deemed ultrasonic lipo good enough to be used at Warehouse Gym to make you achieving your goals that bit easier. People who know me know I will only recommend something I deem good enough for myself and I have to say Warehouse Ultrasonic Lipo definitely gets my vote.

The most important bit:

Sign up to our newsletter on the www.warehousefit.com homepage to receive a huge discount if you book pre launch. The offer will only be available to anyone on our mailing list and Warehouse Gym members so make sure you sign up.

I look forward to seeing you on Saturday 26th February.

Warehouse Ultrasonic Lipo Lounge

Warehouse Ultrasonic Lipo Lounge

The First In Yorkshire Is Here @
Warehouse Gym

Ultrasonic Liposuction means:

"figure correction by utilising high-frequency ultrasonic waves"

We are all aware of the benefits of a good diet and exercise

Ultrasonic Liposuction enhances these benefits even further

Ultrasonic Liposuction is a highly effective way to give your figure a helping hand, by helping mobilise stubborn pockets of fat, so used alongside diet and exercise you will be hitting it from both angles

Ultrasonic Liposuction is pain free, non-surgical / non-invasive.

The results of surgical and ultrasonic liposuction are practically the same. However, with ultrasonic, one can avoid the surgical procedure and its consequences - ie: general anaesthesia, cutting & scarring, pain and overall health risks. Eating correctly and exercise will decrease fat cells in size; although the size of the fat cells is decreased the quantity remains the same. With Ultrasonic Liposuction the reduced fat cells are then permanently destroyed. One procedure can remove up to a pound of fat or 1.5 inches of the area being treated.

Ultrasonic Liposuction has the ability to treat areas that have denser fat deposits and to remove larger volumes of fat at one time. It also has the added advantage of tightening the skin during the process

How is the Procedure of Ultrasonic Liposuction Done?

The specialist focuses a round ultrasonic amplifier around the area being treated which delivers ultrasonic energy to subcutaneous fat.

Noticeable results in problem areas can be seen in 4 - 6 sessions. In between sessions you should follow a healthy diet recommended by your trainer, drink plenty of mineral, or spring water, avoid alcohol for 4 days after treatment and get plenty of exercise to encourage lymph flow, which supports the removal of fat cells from the body.

For 3 months after the procedure the problem zone continues decreasing without any further assistance.

How Many Sessions are Required?

The number of sessions all depends on how many inches you want to loose. A course is usually between minimum 6 to maximum 20 sessions in any one area.

The effectiveness of Ultrasonic Liposuction can be enhanced by additional procedures such as heat wraps and massage if you so desire.

You will certainly have to commit to diet and lifestyle changes. If you don't you will inevitably gain more weight; the main problem is it will just show up in another area.

Be here at Warehouse on the 26th February for the launch of the first Ultrasonic Lipo Machine in Yorkshire where there will be:

Demonstrations
Food and drink
Discount offers
Prize draws to win free treatments and much more

To keep an eye out on what's happening and what treatments are available check your email inbox, pop down to the gym, look in your local newspaper, listen to your local radio station it or keep checking www.warehousefit.com you will be sure to find out.

We will keep you posted on special offers available pre launch.

We look forward to seeing you

1 Day Practical Workshop For Runners

Tue, 14 Dec 2010 08:21:00 GMT

ProSportPhysiotherapy have teamed up with Andy Peacock, resident Personal Trainer to Fitness TV and Warehouse Gym to offer the first of its kind 1 day workshop on Athletic Development for Endurance and Track Athletes on the 2nd of January, 9am to 4pm @ Warehouse Gym, Honley, Huddersfield!

This course is one of a kind and is based on hours of research and experience in training and rehabilitating both elite and recreational athletes correctly. This course is a 90% practical hands-on course with 10% theory. The course itinerary is:

-Self Administrated Soft Tissue Mobilisation - This section will take you through how to break up scar tissue and adhesions using everyday easy to use objects. This is the next best thing to having a personal massage therapist with you every minute of the day!

-Ground Breaking Flexibility - This section will show you how to increase your flexibility within 20 seconds. This is not your static stretching routine which you need to do for weeks, you will see results instantly or else you are not doing this procedure correctly! This is the routine used by up to 54 Olympic medialists including Haile Gebrselassie.

-Mobility Work - This section will be what's missing from 99% of runners programs. This part puts all the above sections together to use that new freedom to improve stride length efficiency and also lung capacity by mobilising specific joints. Lungs are important for distance running! If your ribcage is immobile, then you are not using your lungs to the best of their ability. This section will correct this...

-Muscle Activation - This section will ensure that muscles are working in the correct order to ensure the most efficient running stride possible with the most efficient energy systems utilisation. Most of your runners will be sat at desks or sleeping in a bed for up to 6 hours before training, how can you expect them to run to the best of their abilities after this? The Muscle Activation section will put this right in minimal time.

-Core Training - This section will put core training debates to bed once and for all. Our core training prescriptions are evidenced based and we train the core how it is asked to work during running. This section will also explain how prescribing sit-ups can be detrimental to your runner's performance and what exercises you should be prescribing!

-Strength Training - Strength training is vital for all athletes no matter what their event. Correct prescription of strength training programs can be the difference to beating that personal best. We will show you how to train movements rather than muscles and perform a safe and structured program with efficient technique that is easy to coach and correct for all your athletes.

-Nutrition/Recovery - This section will guide you on appropriate nutrition and recovery during all parts of the day. This will be an easy to use guide that can be implemented immediately.

-Periodisation - This section will teach you how to put everything you have learned into a systematic and structured plan for a week, month and year and how to manipulate variables to ensure you peak at the right time for a race or event.

The cost of this 1 day course is £100 which is consistent with the price for a 1 day course throughout the spectrum of Physiotherapy and Strength and Conditioning coaching clinics. Places are limited to 18 places as we already have huge interest from Holmfirth Harriers. This course fee will include a light lunch, refreshments, a course manual and 1 month's free online support whereby for a month after the course, the coach will be able to have online support of the course tutors for any kinks or follow up questions to ensure they are able to implement these methods seamlessly with their athletes. This is the kind of course that you will be able to put into practice the very next day and we want to help you achieve this to the best of your ability. A certificate of attendance can also be arranged for those coaches wishing to claim back the cost of the course via various routes of funding.

If you or your coaches are interested in attending then please email for a booking form and return the form along with payment (Please make cheques payable to 'ProSportPhysiotherapy') to David O'Sullivan, 146 Broomfield Road, Marsh, Huddersfield, HD1 4QG. If you have any questions about the course then you can contact Dave directly on 07857794615 or email dave@prosportphysiotherapy.co.uk.

A 1 Day Conditioning Workshop For Runners

Tue, 14 Dec 2010 08:19:00 GMT

-Nutrition/Recovery - This section will guide you on appropriate nutrition and recovery during all parts of the day. This will be an easy to use guide that can be implemented immediately.

Farnley Fun Run

Wed, 20 Oct 2010 07:18:23 GMT

One of our members Rupert Roberts took pleace in the Farnley fun run and was kind enough to write a little bit about it for us:

It was 4.4k or 2.8 miles and I did it in 19:32, the winner was one of the harriers who did it in 15:09. I'd like to thank everyone who helped to support me with advice and sponsorship. I managed to raise £174.40 for kirkwood hospice a charity close to many people's hearts locally. It's also inspired me to start running more often and take part in similar events. It took place 12th September and this was it's first year, there are plans for it to be a yearly event, thanks must go to Samantha Kaye who organised the event. They've got a website by the way. www.farnleyfunrun.co.uk

Well done Rupert and we look forward to you completing it in a faster time next year,

Fitness TV Studios

Wed, 20 Oct 2010 07:12:22 GMT

I had a long trip down to Wembley in London on Monday to visit the Fitness TV's West 12 studios. In all it was quite an interesting day learning about how it works in TV and what new upcoming programmes they are looking at producing. I also had a meeting with Fitness TV's owner Tim Morrison about future work for the channel which can ony be a good thing. So with fingers crossed, soon there will be no escaping me!....

W.H.A.M

Fri, 15 Oct 2010 07:38:17 GMT

Ever wondered what all the hype is about personal training?

Been looking at our personal training page and maybe thought, wow thats expensive?

I would like to try it but im not confident enough to do it alone?

Well with W.H.A.M, you dont have to worry about either. So what is this W.H.A.M im going on about?

W.H.A.M is a group personal training session, there are usually 5 - 6 people on the course with one personal trainer, ok so it doesnt sound very personal, the beauty of W.H.A.M is that for those of you who dont like the idea of been in the trainers focus for too long simply you get to share them, also W.H.A.M is personal training at unbeatable prices, more about that later.

It consists of an 8 week course, 6 of these weeks are with the trainer following individualised programmes designed to suit your needs and the goals you want to achieve and then 2 weeks going it alone to see what you can manage, hopefully keep it up! Dont worry the personal trainer will still be about for any questions!

Weight

Health

Attitude

Motivation

W.H.A.M is very very very very I could go on all day, CHEAP! If you look at our personal training page it outlines the prices it costs, W.H.A.M is available to both members and non-members. The course costs:

£45 for one day a week course

£90 for two days a week course

Non-members then have a supplement of:

£34 for 1st course

£55 for 2nd course

£75 for 3rd course

This supplement allows the non-member to enter the gym facilities out of their W.H.A.M slot, so essentially it's a gym membership for the 8 week course period.

For any more information enquire at reception, call us on 01484-665810 or email us at carl@warehousefit.com

Carl & Andy's Day Out

Wed, 06 Oct 2010 16:05:51 GMT

What an extremely productive day I had with Carl at Leisure Industry Week in Birmingham. We were invited down down by a company the gym deals with, put up in the Hilton for the night, invited to 4 seminars during the day and then picked up by a bus on the night taken to a bar in Birmingham with free drinks all night. We managed to get there at lunch time wandered around for a short while and had a look at the latest trends in the industry then staright to the pub for some lunch and that was it I couldnt keep Carl out of the bars as you can see. Obviously, we were not in work so I couldnt pull rank and just had to do as he said (he is bigger then me after all).

Gym Christmas Do!!

Tue, 21 Sep 2010 14:44:00 GMT

The Warehouse Gym Christmas do's are becoming a bit of a talking point now. I'm not quite sure if that's a good thing or not?! but still we will soldier on and have another one on Saturday 11th December.

So this year it will be at TIGER TIGER in Leeds, a coach will pick us up at 5pm from the gym and drop us off for a champagne reception at TIGER TIGER where we will have a 3 course meal, maybe a drink or 10, possibly some lewd behaviour from the staff and then the coach will return for us at around 2am and drop us back off in Huddersfield town centre.

If you would like to go the tickets will be £56 this includes your meal and travel, all you need to do is pay your £10 deposit at reception and then the rest of the balance 3 weeks prior to us going. If you want to know why people always talk about these events put your name down and go you wont be dissapointed.

My Final Results

Fri, 27 Aug 2010 17:16:46 GMT

So at the end of 6 weeks trimming down here are my final results. I'm fairly pleased with them to be honest, I could have fine tuned my diet slightly more if I really wanted to and if I had not been led astray a couple of times and "MADE" to drink alcohol at parties (shame on you people) the results could have been slightly better, but in all I'm pleased. The most important thing to ask yourself when embarking on anything like this for trimming down is: Is this sustainable? the way I train my clients is not to just get results there and then it's to show them how easy it is to have a sustainable fitness regime, then when you want to trim those extra few pounds down you can, and when you want to relax a bit and party a few times why not? as long as your diet and exercise are spot on 80% of the time chill out the other 20% and when you want to get those extra bits off it only takes a short time of getting your diet and exercise right 100% of the time.

Scroll down to the 28th July to see my original photo. When I get back from my holiday I will get them put up side by side in my testimonials so you can see them next to each other and compare.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my progress, if you have any questions regarding anything I have done over the last 6 weeks or anything to do with diet and exercise just drop me an email andy@warehousefit.com but dont forget I'm living the high life for the next two weeks in Egypt! Woo Hoo! :0)

One final thing that I said in my first post of the 6 weeks. If your overweight or out of shape just remember "Its only fat" you can always get rid of it.

Not Long Now Peeps!

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 13:52:43 GMT

So its nearly the end of my 6ish weeks of trimming down and setting a good example. In the last weeks I have had a couple of Birthday parties to go to so Happy Birthday Lauren and thank you for the invite, and Happy Birthday Rich. Obviously at a Brithday party people drink alcohol and for those of you who know me know that it would be impossible for me not to have a drink so I made the sensible choice on both occasions and I was drinking wine, (from the bottle I think later on one evening whilst pretending to be an umpa lumpa!) anyway this was still going to let me enjoy the evening but also cut the amount of empty calories I consumed dramtically. Although it will have set me back a bit on both ocassions I really didnt want to miss out which if you are the same the best thing to do is make more sensible options while drinking but also not letting it effect your whole weekend by having a big greasy fry up the next day, you just need to push on with your healthy regime the day after.

I will be taking my final photo over the weekend and I will have it posted up by the very latest this Bank Holiday Monday the 30th August, something to look forward to eh? maybe not but if your bored at work on Tuesday stop by and have a look.

PIZZA PIZZA PIZZA!!

Tue, 24 Aug 2010 12:55:47 GMT

On Saturday I made us (if I say so myself) a gorgeous pizza. Fresh grilled tuna, low fat garlic soft cheese under the garlic and onion tomato base, sweetcorn, parmesan and olive oil it came out perfect. Also if your wanting to eat healthy making home made pizza is quite good for you. There was nothing on there that would be bad for me and its a great way of getting in some of your portions of veg for the day.

The same goes for curry, why not pan fry some chicken breast and onion, add a few spices like garam masala, cumin, ground corriander, ginger and a few fresh chilis and garlic, throw in a tin of tomato's, cook for around an hour and finish off with some freshly chopped corriander to put on top when finished, serve it with around 30g of basmati rice with some peas in and you tell me whats so bad about that? maybe the 5 pints and the naan bread to go with it!!

Boxercise Level 1 Begins!

Tue, 17 Aug 2010 13:18:19 GMT

Our new 5 week course of Boxercise starts on Monday 20th September at 6pm. The course does have limited spaces so please book early if you are interested.

Boxercise is a fun and excellent way to have an all over workout without realising how hard you are actually working. Everyone who has taken part in boxercise in the past has commented about how much they have anjoyed it, but dont take my word for it have a look here:

No Piccy

Fri, 13 Aug 2010 10:20:05 GMT

Yes that's right no piccy for you yesterday. After thinking a little ( dont worry I only said a little my head is still in tact but yes I do think.....sometimes) I decided I would make you wait until the end now to see what results I achieve. I know I know how hard it is for all you women out there (and Rupert) not to see me flash the flab each week but it will make it all the more exciting in the end. Yes I said looking at me with my top off is exciting! and who says I hold a high opinion of myself?

2 Weeks In

Thu, 05 Aug 2010 21:05:14 GMT

2 weeks in and here we go with me looking shocked! ha ha I dont have a clue why! also has anyone noticed my wonky right hand side due to an old shoulder injury from rugby a few years back? You will notice the wok is gettinng slightly smaller at the sides but this is where the hard work begins. Anyway like I said I would pop in a little bit about supplements. As I mentioned before you must remember supplements are just a supplement to your diet and nothing should replace food. I have been taking:

Sea Kelp, this is a great source of iodine and helps you have a healthy thyroid.
Milk Thistle, this is just a wellbeing product and helps with a healthy liver.
CLA which is a form of good fat to help burn fat.
CEE a form of creatine that helps with the first ten seconds of exercise during weights sessions and aids recovery between sets.
Evening Primrose Oil, for my mood swings..... haha no its again another form of good fat to help burn fat.

I am also using USN protein shakes that I take immediately after exercise to help recovery.

If you do want any further info on supplements please email me andy@warehousefit.com
Thanks for stopping by!

Stuffed With Salad

Wed, 04 Aug 2010 14:25:25 GMT

Now that's what I call a salad:

Wholemeal bread with olive oil spread (Slow releasing carbs, good fats)
Egg (Protein, good fats, small amount of bad fat)
Tuna with mayo and sweetcorn (Protein, small amount of good and bad fats, vitamins and minerals)
Carrot, Sweetcorn, Tomato, Peppers, Cucumber, Lettuce, Spring Onion (Loads of vitamins and minerals)

All I needed to do was add a bit of good fat in the form of olive oil and some flavour with balsamic vinegar! we had a perfectly balanced meal, the only problem is I made it for Martine and not myself, but she enjoyed it all the same.

Great Massage

Mon, 02 Aug 2010 08:44:58 GMT

I had a great massage with Darren on Saturday afternoon. As you know I'm trimming down over the next 6 weeks and this means my exercise frequency and intensity has gone up, alot! this is all good and well but a very very important factor in exercise is recovery because this is the time when our muscles are actually becoming fitter. When you are doing hard exercise and as frequently as twice a day good recovery is essential. this is where massage really does play its roll, I will leave it to Darren to explain the in's and out's of how it works but basically a regular massage say once a week is superb for helping heal tired aching muscles and speeds up recovery tremendously. I always recommend massage to my personal training clients just for this reason.

So in future when you are exercising dont think of a massage as a luxury you should really think of it as part of your fitness regime. If you do want further informationn on how massage can aid your recovery go to www.holisticworks.co.uk

1 Week In

Thu, 29 Jul 2010 20:42:00 GMT

Here I am then 1 week into my 6 week trim down. Things seem to be going to plan but there is quite a bit to go yet so no slacking on my part. I have managed to deflate the tyre its just a matter of getting rid of that wok I have stuck on me.

My eating wasn't as exact as I would have liked today but circumstances wouldn't allow me to have it that way. I was personal training at 5AM so having my usual bowl of porridge was just not an optoin so the next best thing was a flapjack when I got to work. I then had a protein shake at 9 AM and a piece of fruit at about 10AM.

I trained my Chest, Triceps and Shoulders at 11AM for an hour had another protein shake and then had my lunch at 12.30PM

Lunch was well how do I say it? a bit wierd but tased quite nice! Tuna, avacado, spring onions, low fat soft cheese with garlic and herbs, 3 new potatoes and some fresh garlic all mixed together with a small amount of salad cream and tomato sauce......Yes I know what your thinking but it was quite nice to be honest and it contained everything I needed which is protein, low GI carbs and good fats.

This afternoon I had a tin of Mackerel and an apple

I then took a spinning class at 6PM and straight home for my chicken pan fried over a medium heat in olive oil with loads of veg and 30g basmati and wild rice with a tomato based sauce

Just before bed I will have a handfull of nuts..

The most important points to look at in my diet are:

Eating regularly about every 3 hours
Make sure you eat the majority of your carbohydrates earlier in the day and through lunch to make sure you have energy
Vary your good fats throught the day
If its inconvenient to eat find something its better then nothing. Protein shakes play a vital role here at times.
Always plan ahead.

I will be letting you know what supplements I am taking in my next update. But the one thing to remembber is supplements are what they say they are, a supplement to your diet food always comes first!

If you have any questions please feel free to ask andy@warehousefit.com or if you would like to read a bit more please take a look here www.warehousefit.com/resources

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend whatever your getting up to.

Fatty Bum Bum!

Wed, 28 Jul 2010 07:28:45 GMT

So here I am in my unhealthy, unattractive looking state! after a week with the family in Wales oh and about 6 months of training , motivating, educating and advising others I forgot to actually do it myself. Like I said the key to getting back in shape is the overalll fitness. Because I have a tyre round my waistline kwick-fit may charge you £100 for this doesnt mean my fitness levels are low which is a mis-conception of alot of people. What it means in my case is because I enjoy food I have been eating the wrong things at the wrong times and in admission had one or two too many drinks of the waistlines enemy 'ALCOHOL'!

How do we resolve this? the first thing is we need to get my boyancy aid into perspective, "its only fat" thats all it is, I can reduce it or increase at certain times of the year but the most important thing to remember is that as long as its not affecting my health "its only fat" I can get rid of it with a small amount of effort. Anyone who has a high or higher amount of fat on their body needs to remember this, dont let it affect your state of mind or you have failed before you even begin.

Now what have I been doing? well this photo was taken Thursday 22nd July 2010 since then I have been training seperate body parts each day so Chest, Triceps and Shoulders ensuring I dont over work my tricpes. Back & Biceps again not overworking my biceps and then Legs. So I have 3 programmes that last around 30-40 mins and every other day I finish off with my Core work. I teach a spinning class 4 times a week do some punch bag work once a week and bike 30mins to work 2-3 times a week. It is important not to overtrain at the same time but like I said before, due to me keeping fit all year round my body is capable of doing this amount of exercise and burning high amount of calories.

My next entry will be about supplementation and diet. I will have a picture up next week to show you one weeks progress. Please remember what I am doing works for me and for most of my clients but we are not all the same and sometimes need to work out in different ways to suit your body and your lifestyle.

Any questions on what I am doing please feel free to email me andy@warehousefit.com

Dont Panic Peeps!

Sun, 25 Jul 2010 10:18:14 GMT

Dont Panic (not that you are) I'm having a couple of problems with my photo upload (I'm too fat to fit) no, it just wont upload so the great guys at Design Junkie will be sorting it Monday and then you can see my Ahem! fine Ahem physique..............

My 6 Week Trim Down

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 12:42:00 GMT

Right I will be goinng on my jolly holidays to Egypt in about 6 weeks time. I do find when I go on holiday I always meet interesting people and the first thing they ask is "what do you do for a living?" now with this in mind it doesnt normally look good saying "I'm a personal trainer and gym owner" whilst I move my belly to the side so I can see my beer!!... so the way it it works is like this.

All year I stay fit by training 5-6 times a week but at the same time I tend to eat and drink what I like within reason. This allows my body to be capable of burning alot of calories during exercise but also at rest. I do store what I would deem to be a little bit more fat then I would like but it allows me to strike that life balance with exercise and my love for food and drink!

Then when the time arrives for summer BBQ's or beach holidays I tweak the diet, increase exercise intensity and all round begin to practice what I preach. I make short term goals of around 4-6 weeks which is easily manageable. The end result is that because my body is capable of burning vast amount of calories because I stay fit all year round I burn alot of fat in this short space of time and I do it correctly.

So why on earth am I telling you this? I am telling you this because I will be keeping a log on my blog (I should write poetry) of what exercise I have done and what I have eaten. This may not seem that interesting to some but if you were to take a look at some of my past personal training clients who embarked on a 6 week programme you will see some of the results that were achieved. The information and motivation they received cost £1000, I will be letting you see what it involves to trim down effectively for FREE! all you need to do is get yourself out and do what I will be doing.

I willl also be offering free advice to anyone who wants to ask any questions, if you would like to ask anything please email me andy@warehousefit.com I will do my best to answer as many questions as possible but time restraints may prevent me from answering from time to time, so I apologise in advance. I also recommend you take a look at the resources section where you can read the "diet to power exercise" article and the "Cardiovascular exercise" article these will help give you a kick start.

I will also post up photos of me from beginning to end, I would have put one up today but because I'm a bird brain I forgot my lead for the computer DOH!

Keep an eye on this blog or subscribe to the RSS feeds and you can have topless pictures of me sent to your email........on second thoughts maybe not ha ha! I will update as regularly as I can and to kick us off today looks like this:

Breakfast big bowl of porridge

Mid morning snack was a USN protein shake and I have to say t was gorgeus!

Lunch 2 sweet potato, tuna in small amount of mayonaise and a banana

Mid afternooon will be a tin of mackerel

Weights session around 4pm training chest, triceps and shoulders followed by about 20mins boxing and a protein shake.

Spin class at 7pm followed by chicken in a tomato based sauce with 30g basmati rice and loads of veg.

Just before bed at around 10pm a few olives and handfull of nuts.

So thats my day for today, I will try to add a little more detail in future for you but unfortunately I need to go work!

Warehouse Gym On Top Of Snowdon

Wed, 30 Jun 2010 12:32:15 GMT

20 miles of bike riding and a very steep climb this was us at the top of Snowdon. I had just demolished 2 mars bars, a cheese sandwich, a ham sandwich a kit kat (only 2 fingers) and mini snickers oh and a healthy apple........only the decent, 20 more miles biking and 1.5 miles in a canoe to go!

Local Cubs Visit The Gym

Wed, 23 Jun 2010 21:37:05 GMT

We had a pleasant visit tonight from the local Honley Cubs, They were shown around by Carl or "Action Man" as they were calling him, and I was told by them he did a "wicked" job so well done Carl. Its always good to have local groups like this to visit the gym and see what really goes on. They were extremely enthusiastic which is great to see and very very well behaved. They are welcome back anytime it was a pleasure to have them here.

Half Way Up Snowdon

Tue, 15 Jun 2010 10:54:14 GMT

This is the picture I took half way up Snowdon, we had already biked 20 hard miles to get there and were told we were about an hour from the top, we were also told it was very windy up there so go carefull when walking along the tops! During the day I burned over 7000 calories and my calculated maximum heart rate I should be able to achieve is 188 beats per minute, it actually got up to 217 beats per minute nearing the steep parts at the top.

Packing my bags

Tue, 15 Jun 2010 10:48:25 GMT

What a fantastic challenge that was, one of the best workouts I have ever had. On Friday I had to pack alot of gear just for one days exercise because we were doing 3 different events, 40 miles biking, climbing the steep ascent of Mt Snowdon and canoeing 1.5 miles. Because of this you needed to make sure you had all the right gear and most importantly for me with my scatter brain DONT FORGET ANYTHING!

Oooooh! Look at you!

Wed, 09 Jun 2010 16:24:20 GMT

Look at what we have got to try for 3 months! yes a vibration plate. For those who dont know what they are, they can basically give your body a 60 minute workout in 10 minutes. Now there is alot of crap flying about out there on the fitness market at the minute but in my opinion this is most certainly not one of them. The science behind this machine is very good and the theory of it to me is completely correct. Now dont think that these machines are new they have been around for years and I mean years its just taken someone with a bit of a marketing brain to get out there and sell it.

If you want a quick go just ask a member of staff, they will give you a demonstration and explain how this machine could help you. If you would like a full body 60 minute workout in just 10 minutes with an instructor its just £10 and let me tel you that you know about it when you have finished.

Snowdonia challenge

Wed, 09 Jun 2010 08:18:51 GMT

It's nearly here! On Saturday I will be biking 40 miles, climing Mt Snowdon and canoeing Llyn Gwynant along with my Sister, Brother and Brother in law. Its all for the charity REGAIN to help paralysed sportsmen. I cant wait to do it and hopefully try to complete the course in less then 7 hours. Plenty of carbohydrates are been taken on board this week to help keep me going. I will be posting a few photos of the event up here on Monday IF I get back!

Scott Wrights 12 Weeks!

Thu, 13 May 2010 08:48:00 GMT

I have just been chatting with Scott Wright, fellas you may not know him as well as the ladies, he is the guy from coronation street a while back now. Well you may not have seen him for a while and thats because he has been filming a new documentry where he trains 12 weeks to enter a bodybuilding competition. 12 weeks! I gasped when he told me, for those who have done just 6 weeks intensive personal training with me you will realise how hard 12 weeks must be. He pointed me to the trailer he has made for it on youtube so here it is:

New Testing Results

Thu, 29 Apr 2010 08:10:00 GMT

Ok the results are in again for Charles Dixon. During a 6 week personal training programme we test once a week at the same time of day under the exact same conditions, this allows us to see exactly what is going on in the body and how it is reacting to the changes in diet and exercise. Any good personal trainer knows you wont get it right first time all the time, and what works for one person wont work for another so regular fitness testing is an excellent way to adapt to any sticky situations that may arise. So here are Charles' latest results.........

A further fat loss of just over 4lb! which is now a total of just over 17lb fat loss by the middle of week 5.

Muscle mass has just risen by 0.2lb which is a muscle mass gain of just under 3lb since the start, this is ideal due to the fact that gaining lean muscle and losing fat is very difficult, the most important thing is we dont lose muscle mass while in a calorie deficit.

Visceral fat rating down by another point and his metabolic age has further reduced by 6 years (the younger the better).

Again some more good news for Charles which he deserves with the amount of hard work he has put in, the final week is in sight and you will soon be able to see his before and after photos in my personal training testimonials section.

Bad Fat

Tue, 27 Apr 2010 13:37:00 GMT

Well we all know fat is bad for us, take a look at these nasty little critters....

http://www.activefat.org.uk

Week 4 of 6 results

Wed, 21 Apr 2010 12:05:00 GMT

So Charles Dixon has been doing a six week intensive personal training programme with me, we are now half way through and so far I am impressed with his motivation and he is doing exactly as I ask of him, in and away from the gym including his diet. If you look back on my blog you will see his first week results which I feel were a bit too good to be true but three weeks in we have further fantastic news:

Original Stats:
Fat Mass 3st 8.4lb
Muscle Mass 8st 12lb

Today's Stats:
Fat Mass 2st 9.6lb
Muscle Mass 9st 0.6lb

His metabolic age has reduced by 10 years! and we have also reduced his visceral fat rating by 2 points.

I have to say yet again what a great job he is doing and we are only half way! most people including myself would be happy with these kind of results in six weeks. Keep up the good work and lets see what we can achieve.

Watch this space for his before and after photos.

Gym Night Out!

Tue, 20 Apr 2010 07:59:00 GMT

Well apparently those who remember the night say it was a good one! the restaurant food was really really nice and the one or two........alcoholic beverages also went down quite well.

For all of you who made it there thanks for a great night.

Great Day For Biking

Thu, 08 Apr 2010 09:44:07 GMT

I'm not normally into this sort of thing but take a look at this video its great www.vimeo.com/10695528

First Weeks Results

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 14:09:00 GMT

Well we have just tested Charles for the results of his first weeks personal training with me. I have to be honest even I am suprised at the results we had this morning, we do need to take into account some variations in testing i.e. hydration levels etc etc but on the main all testing is done at the same time of day and when the body is in a similar state. Here are the main factors of what we found:

Body fat reduction of 7lb
Muscle mass gain of 5lb
Total Body Water up 2lb
Metabolic Age reduced by 2 years

These tests are carried on TANITA commercial body composition scales and as I say there may be some variations in results as nothing is 100% but to lose half a stone in fat in 7 days! Great work Charles keep it up

Healthy Eating Boring?

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 07:51:07 GMT

Hmmmmm! last nights tea, Fillet steak (lean protein), tomato based sauce with onion, garlic and basil and mushrooms cooked in a dry non stick pan, new potatoes slowly roast in olive oil (carbohydrate and good fats), beans and steamed veg (vitamins and minerals).

A very well balanced meal and if I say so myself, was lovely. My compliments to the chef.........oh thats me!

Remember healthy eating is not boring eating!

Quckly Before Bed!

Sat, 27 Mar 2010 21:47:00 GMT

Last week I had a a slightly loopy woman called Mel join the Saturday spin with a friend, they both looked game for it and after the class I asked "how was it?" "great" was the reply "and it was only for a challenge" "a challenge?" "yes I'm challenging myself to do something I have never done before every month this year" Mel replied. Now to ultra competitive me I think thats a fantastic idea and quite liberating. So I said in support of loopy Mel I would blog her challenge and hopefully we could get some suggestions from you guys out there on what she can do? if you have any ideas please comment on this or email andy@warehousefit.com We are still thinking of the April challenge so anything from making fresh pasta to flying in a wind tunnel. Thanks in advance guys.

Very Clever

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 12:01:00 GMT

Personal Training Works

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 08:50:00 GMT

Just finished a course of fourteen training sessions with Oliver a motocross competitor who wanted to be fitter, lighter and stronger. Did he do it? of course he did in fact he did fantastic, I will post up his results on the personal training section later in the week. You always get great job satisfaction when you see people achieving results after they have listened to the advice you have given them.
