MBODY Fitness & Personal Training Southampton

There is so much confusion (or noise!) these days around fitness, food and healthy living!

• We don't know what diet, or Instagram influencer or TikTok-'toker to follow
• We are bombarded by fitness 'gurus' on Youtube videos
• Do we count calories or carbs?
• Do we eat paleo or vegan or pegan, keto or vegetarian or carnivore?
• So we focus on cardio or weights or reps and sets blah blah...

There are so many companies out there offering so many options, so many 'angles', so many fad diets and exercise routines, there's so much darn confusion - not helped of course by your local supermarket packed full the unhealthy distractions!

There is an endless list of choices which can often end up confusing us! A confused mind does nothing or makes bad choices or it just gives up and ends up drowning its sorrows in a large tub of very delicious procrastination-flavoured ice cream!

My AIM is to help you cut through all that noise and confusion and guide you to the solution that work BEST for you. So, let's go!

Our Philosophy

At MBODY Fitness & Personal Training our philosophy is to make going to the gym, personal training and setting personal goals realistic, achievable, approachable, gentle (not easy!), EMPOWERING, enlivening, and enjoyable too!

If you are like most people (and indeed me, or at least like I used to be) I'm guessing your idea or going to the gym or using the services of a Personal Trainer is just for those 'gym bunnies' or those wanting to be totally 'jacked' and who count macros and calories daily and are totally obsessed with their physical appearance.

You are not alone with those thoughts and of course I totally respect and admire their commitment and efforts, because it isn't for the faint-heated for sure.

Focussing on and investing in your health and fitness is one of the best things you can do your long-term health and for the ones you love - helping you to live a more healthful life. Also, in times of ever-increasing pressures on the National Health Service it is even more important for us to look after ourselves - there is so much we can do for ourselves to ensure we not just live longer but live healthier!

Using the services of a Personal Trainer should be considered more than just a luxury, it can be considered a necessity. You are investing in someone to guide you and hold you by the hand towards a personal fitness or healthier weight goal. Most importantly this is someone who is sharing knowledge with you that has the potential to change your life in unimaginable ways. Some say life is about priorities, how about prioritising yourself for once?

MBODY Personal Training Approach

If you are a total novice to the gym or maybe you have been dipping your toes in and out for a number of years then you might have seen all sort of incredibly challenging and almost impossible exercises to do, let alone master. Perhaps just even watching some exercises gives you sympathetic muscle soreness or makes you tempted to just sit on an exercise bike and scroll your social media for 30 minutes then leave!

Well rest assured, going to the gym or working with a Personal Trainer is not rocket science, and it must NOT be difficult or off putting. I aim to make it fun and rewarding.

After having worked with many Personal Trainers over the years, personal research on the art and science of Personal Training, Lifting and Nutrition I learned the basics to establish a solid foundation so anyone can workout either at a gym, at home or anywhere else, following a simple (though not always easy!), well-written programme which meets your personal needs and it's in alignment with your goals AND most importantly it is versatile that will keep you engaged, motivated, focused and on track towards your long term goals.
