What if we told you that you don’t have to count calories forever?

What if we told you that you don’t have to count calories forever?

Now don’t get me wrong, we all know that counting calories is a sure-fire way to ensure progress towards your goals, however...

If you have ever counted your calories, whether vaguely or to every gram, you’ll know it can be a tedious task, especially when out with friends or when you aren’t preparing your own food.

But…

What if we told you that you don’t have to?

Great news, right?!

This is where your very own intuition can be of great use!

If counting your calories doesn’t sound like a bit of you, why don’t you try to commit to counting your calories for just TWO weeks, that’s it, two weeks and you may never have to count calories ever again!

The idea behind this is that after two weeks of varied meals that you have calorie counted, you will be able to intuitively control portion sizes from those two weeks going forward!

Take an example from when we are kids, none of us are born with the ability to write straight, so we introduce tracing paper, we use that for a little while and then once it’s taken away, we can write straighter.

Food for thought, literally!

The biggest mistake I made in 10 years of Personal Training!

I began my journey within the health and fitness industry back in 2012, over that time I have trained hundreds of individuals from every walk of life, from people who are wanting to get into the best shape of their life, to sport specific performance and injury rehabilitation.

But, over my 10-year career, what is the biggest mistake I have ever made?

It is without a doubt not going self-employed earlier!

Going self-employed allowed me to have the freedom to incorporate my own principles into a brand with like-minded coaches, the result – GymGeek.

Fast forward almost 2 years and we have developed GymGeek into the leading sports science team locally and not only that we have also designed and completed the project of building our very own state-of- the art purpose-built facility to generate the most amount of progress for our members and clients possible!

And all of this was made possible by firstly taking the plunge into self-employment and then amidst a pandemic we made the Gym Geek brand into its own company, to create what you see today, and the best part… We’re only just getting started.

Suzi - "Why am I a personal trainer?"

My name is Suzi, I am 41 years old and mother of 2 awesome teens.

I have recently qualified as a Personal Trainer and I recently joined Gym Geek.

For those who don’t know me, I have always enjoyed leading a healthy lifestyle and working out, but it really all started when I began to lift weights.

Like every other girl out there I was sceptical at first, I thought weightlifting would make me look like a man, I thought doing endless cardio and eating salads was totally the way forward, I wanted to be skinny, how wrong was I?

Once I educated myself on how to get results, on how to fuel my body with nutritional meals and on the art of progressive overload: I felt strong, feminine, and confident.

Reading this, some of you (especially mums) will relate to my story.

Through moving my body, I learned bit by bit, how valuable and important my health was. As I cared for my body, I learned that I was worthy of self-love I used Lockdown to work on myself, I didn’t stick to a diet. I cleaned up my eating and organised what I was eating and when. I just made healthier choices, I managed to figure this out by myself and set a better structure.

There are no giant steps that can get you there, but consistent small steps can

In the beginning, I would weigh myself every morning and obsess over the number I saw. I allowed the number on the scale to impact my mood and even dictate my perceived worth.

I set a goal weight for myself – a number (based on nothing) that I thought would make me happy. I know that this number is not healthy for my frame or height, but I did reach it.

As I continued to progress my fitness, I began weighing myself less frequently. However, my weight began to increase I was frustrated and upset I didn’t understand why my efforts to be healthy were no longer working. I gave myself a much-needed reality check. I was stronger than I’d ever been, and I felt better than I ever had. My clothes fit better and most importantly, I was HEALTHIER mentally, emotionally, and physically I decided to say screw the scale. I stopped weighing myself all together and began to focus on measuring progress by how I felt inside instead.

As I continued my personal journey to empowerment, I studied to become a personal trainer and eventually launched my own Peach Lab page which surprisingly was a success. This was something I could never have imagined when I first started.
