We're back in the game. Bringing to market this... Ahem, beautiful two bed bungalow. And it is a diamond in the roof. Planning for two bungalows (lapsed) to the rear, 100sqm. There's a lot of money to be had in this deal and it's a steal at 210k. PM me for info, 4k fee payable by the buyer.

Starting on the 2nd September, every Monday at Rushey Mead Community Centre on Gleneagles Avenue by Soar Valley and the library at 8:45am to 10:30am is a free Movement and Nutrition workshop (I haven't come up with a snazzy name yet!) It's free to attend for all adults and the schedule is a bit like this: 8:45-9 Social, give everyone time to drop the kids off, meet each other and make new pals 9-10:20 a little bit of exercise to get everyone ready for the day ahead; light aerobics, pure stretch, etc 10:20-10:45 nutrition workshop The nutrition workshop will be really informal and we'll cover topics including diet and nutrition, explore our eating habits and patterns, learn healthier eating habits and understand the food we're eating, we will look at how food brands market their products to make them look healthier than they actually are and how to read nutrition labels to understand what we're actually eating. I'll be setting up a WhatsApp group for everyone for updates so if you're interested in coming along, send me a message with your name and phone number and I'll add you to the group nearer the time. * for the sake of transparency, I've secured a discount with the council on the venue because it's entirely non-profit. However, at some point down the line, after a couple of months or so, I'll be asking for a contribution towards the cost. The council will give me the bill every week which I'd divide by the number of people attending and ask those who can afford it to contribute to the cost but don't let that put you off, it's no obligation whatsoever (I'm angling to get the council to let us have it for free if it proves popular so hopefully I can keep it free forever!)

Getting lighter baby 🔥 Basal metabolic rate, it's how many calories we burn just by being alive, excluding all physical activity, literally if you just laid there for 24 hours, the calories you burn is your BMR. Anyway, do you notice how my BMR significantly increases with slight weight gain? And then drops even more drastically with weight loss? That's the body going into conservation mode. I've also spent 40 hours in the last four days sat on my rear end at a training event or laying down in bed which would also negatively affect it (the more active we are day to day, our metabolic rate will be higher, cba to go into that today, sitting on your arse all day really takes it out of you! You can also affect metabolic rate through diet and exercise but again, not tonight) This is why we hit a weight plateau. The heavier we are, the more calories we need just for our body to work, a 200 calorie deficit to an obese person will have a greater rate of weight loss initially but will have diminishing returns over a very short amount of time because their Basal metabolic rate slows down. The lighter they become, the less calories their body burns under normal conditions, so the 200 calorie deficit is no longer a deficit and is simply maintenance. The solution to weight plateaus is therefore clear, a further reduction of 200 calories is necessary, and this is to be repeated until a healthy weight is achieved.

Employers, did you know obesity accounts for more than a week of sick days per employee? Just think about what that costs you across your workforce. Being Leicester's Fattest Personal Trainer, I know a thing or two about being fat and how to get slim, just look at my 6 month result. For the last couple of years, I've been working with brands like yours to improve the health and wellness of their workforce with easy to implement diet coaching and my team have helped hundreds of employees to lose weight and feel great without cutting out the foods they love. We offer one-to-on coaching and peer support, we help employees to understand why they have gained weight, and how to change their eating habits so that they do t gain anymore, we teach them how to lose weight safely and sustainable and offer a range of tools, including access to a free virtual studio with live fitness sessions to meal replacement systems for those who need additional support or immediate intervention during the initial phases of the process. You're probably thinking this sounds a amazing, because it is! But you'll be surprised at what's even more amazing about this offer. You've probably looked at corporate wellness schemes that cost £1200 per year per employee, and for small business owners, that's an eye watering sum. Our per employee 3x less than this for our standard package and bespoke packaging for individual employees are available where there is a greater need. So why not drop me a message for a no obligation consultation and help your employees to become the best versions of themselves?

Back in the game. 🔥 🔥 🔥 I've missed working in property so much 😍

We could literally make this a thing in British workplaces. It sounds great!

I have a bit of a dilemma and an opportunity on my hands. There are some genuine injustices within the fitness sector in terms of how employees are treated in terms of pay and conditions at work amongst large commercial gyms. The opportunity to make a change involves taking legal action against the industry. But the positive change this will elicit is likely to result in job losses because the costs of remedy will be so great, however, long term, employees in the sector will be paid fairly and treated as employees should be treated and not be exploited for their labour by forcing them to pay a fee that is greater than their wages after tax just to work there. I'm conflicted, because people I care about in the organisations I thoroughly support in all areas except how they treat their employees are likely to be affected negatively in the short term. The costs involved will not be possible to be recovered, and I am not pursuing any compensation; the costs are expected to be in excess of several thousands of pounds. There's no financial incentive for me in making this change but my principles tell me that even a month since leaving my last post that I have to make a positive change in my communities but I've never had it where such a positive change might have significant negative short term impacts. So I decided to open a poll and ask my LinkedIn connections to help me decide what the right choice would be in similar circumstances. I appreciate any responses or comments; it's a really difficult spot I've put myself in. I can easily walk away but my principles are that I should be constantly striving for positive change, but at the same time, I have never been faced with a decision where the outcome will either be negative in the short term and positive in the long term, or there'll be no change and injustices will continue unchallenged but my friends and colleagues will not experience any negative short term impacts besides enduring the status quo. The thing that concerns me is that this affects minimum wage workers who pay more than their wages back to their employer in "rent", the majority of fitness instructors don't have the financial means to make a change like this, so if I don't do something, will those who are most severely affected have the financial means to take action themselves? And this isn't a simple case of recovering lost or unpaid earnings, that doesn't feature as part of the case right now. The case relates to how employees are charged a fee, "rent", to work and these rent payments then become a deduction from minimum wage meaning employees are earning less than minimum wage. Each month, after the tax free allowance, employees have to find around £100 on top of their wages to be a le to pay their employer's fees. Meaning an employee of The Gym Group or PureGym, with no other income or expenses, will see their bank balance reduce by approx. £100 per month after tax and fees paid to the employer.

When it comes to weight loss, many people turn to supplements to aid their efforts. Supplements can play a crucial role in helping individuals achieve their weight loss goals by providing additional support to exercise and healthy eating habits. They can help boost metabolism, suppress appetite, promote fat burning, and provide essential nutrients that may be lacking in a person's diet.
