Imposter Syndrome
I have decided to do a blog on Imposter Syndrome for you all, it is something I have had to do a bit more research into as my knowledge of it was minimal. I had heard people talk about it, I understood the very basics of “you don’t feel good enough” and I have known people attribute it as a reason for them not achieving or being held back at work or in their lives.

Being an in person Personal Trainer
I’ve been a Personal Trainer since 2010 and have seen many changes over my career to date, not only in the industry itself, but in people’s perceptions of Personal Trainers.

Now more than ever people are taking note of their mental health and focusing on ways in which they can improve it. Talking about how we are feeling and admitting that sometimes we struggle and need help is becoming less of a taboo scenario and more of a normal practice. Instead of it being seen as weakness, it is being seen as quite courageous standing up and asking for help when we are at a low point.

Achievement Motivation - The need to achieve vs the need to avoid failure
There are 2 stand out personality traits we have as people when it comes to achievement motivation, these are having a need to achieve (NACH) or having a need to avoid failure (NAF). So are you more of a NACH or a NAF? We will have both at different times in our lives and it can be quite situation orientated, but deep down we will be more one or the other.

The Benefits to exercise - My fitness journey
2020 was a year that will go down in history. The Covid 19 Pandemic has impacted all of us and it has changed the way we live. With National lockdowns and government restrictions implemented for us to follow to help us as a collective control the virus and take the pressure off the NHS, many of us found the disruption to our diets and exercise routines hard to conquer. Gyms shut, home gym equipment sold out in an instant or was being sold at double, sometimes triple its worth
