Get on the waiting list?
We’re now only a number of weeks away from being back in the club (date TBC)!
Places will will go before that actually happens.
So, don’t leave this till after “gyms are open”.
It’ll be too late by then.
Before lockdown, our programme sold out in advance for 63 months in a row and we don’t see this being any different 🙂

You’ve either done it, or heard someone else say they’ve done it, I’m sure.
Or both, I suppose.
“Self sabotage”.
Often in relation to our food and / or exercise choices.
It’s a word that’s never quite sat perfectly with me.
“Sabotage”
“Deliberately destroy, damage, or obstruct (something), especially for political or military advantage”.
Let’s forget the political or military advantage bit?
I’m fairly sure finishing the bottle of wine, the extra beers and or the kebab on the way home weren’t done for those reasons 😉
Do we really set out to destroy or damage our body?
Our waistline?
Our health?
I’m not convinced.
I think we’ve just chosen to do something else.
Something else that, at the particular point in time, we see more value in.
With the ‘damage’ being more a side effect than what we set out to do.
We didn’t set out to gain weight.
We set out to make ourselves feel better at that particular point in time by what we ate and / or did (or didn’t).
It might seem an unimportant distinction.
But, when we ‘frame’ things in certain ways in our head, it can make it more or less likely that we make the choices that serve us best.
If next time we think that we’re ‘sabotaging’ ourselves………….
We stop and realise that we just have some different choices in front of us………….
That will serve and benefit us in different ways.
Some immediately.
Some in the near or far future.
And we ask ourselves which of these things is more important to us……………
Which we value more.
Then it becomes a different conversation in our heads.
Much love,
Jon ‘Beastie Boys’ Hall
