The amount of posts on the interwebs about believing in yourself is so vast (did a quick check…type “believe in yourself” into Google & you get 395,000,000 results) that it’s astonishing that we continue to write them…as I’m about to do.

Here we go…my start at writing about what I’m doing with clients day-to-day in my gym. It proved challenging to get down on paper what comes so naturally in my head! I hope I made this easy-enough to follow, and that it helps someone out there dealing with a similar issue. Ok, first up, two […]
