P T Weston - Personal Trainer

I help people achieve fitness, confidence &
happiness in the comfort of a private gym. Maldon, Essex This wasn't always my mindset. Stop smoking. Get fit.
(1)

For me, fitness is something that can be broken down into 3 statements, each are equally important in maintaining the right attitude and mindset towards whatever goals you are looking to achieve.

1. Fitness should be enjoyable and be accessible to everyone.
2. Fitness should be balanced with your lifestyle and always be sustainable.
3. Fitness should be focussed with measurable and realistic

goals. Travel back in time 14 years and I was out of shape, smoked, drank too much, and didn't really take care of myself. Our youngest had not long been born, and I knew that I needed to be fitter for when both of our children started to be more active and not be that dad who struggled to keep up with their kids. I made a life decision; cut out the crap. And I did just that. Out went the smoking, I stopped drinking coffee, this helped with cutting out the biscuits, I cut back massively on the drinking and I started to run. The first time I went for a run I thought it would be easy, a simple 3 mile route around the village, surely it wouldn't take long and not be that hard? I got about 200 meters into it and threw up. I walked home disheartened and exhausted. I needed help and advice, so I joined a running club and learned some amazing tips and met some like minded runners who helped massively. I went on to complete 3 marathons, over 20 half marathons, many 10 mile races and everything in between. October 2013 brought a new dimension to my fitness journey, a horrific car crash, which somehow I walked out of alive an unscathed, apart from muscle damage to the shoulder area where the seat belt had kept me strapped to the seat as the car summersaulted through the air. This meant physiotherapy. However the physiotherapy wasn't working so I sought the help of a personal trainer to work with. This was a game changer. Not only did the personal trainer help with my shoulder, they helped me with my running style and overall strength and fitness, I was able to run faster for longer. I felt stronger physically and mentally. I fell in love with the gym. The noticeable differences in my body and mind through training consistently and being focussed were phenomenal. I knew that I wanted to share my experiences and knowledge with others and help them to achieve their own fitness goals by being on that journey with them. And that is what I do. Being able to help people and guide them through their journey and transformation with structured programs, years of experience and continual support, and also having some fun along the way, is exceptionally rewarding, it motivates me and drives me forward to continue to expand my knowledge of the industry and therefor develop myself thus enabling my clients to become healthier and happier too.

I AM OFFERING FREE HOME WORKOUTS FOR MEN’S MENTAL HEALTH

Men of Maldon town.

How are you doing? Really doing?

I know that mental health can be a real struggle. Anxiety, stress, depression. Sometimes, it feels like you're carrying the weight of the world. But I want you to know, you're not alone, I have been there too, many a time.

For me, I believe that exercise has kept me from tipping over the edge on more than one occasion.

I don’t train to look good, to have bigger muscles, to run the fastest, to lift the most, I do it because it allows me to focus on me, to clear my mind, quieten the noise in my head, feel energized and more motivated to go about my day.

When you start doing exercises, a few powerful things will happen, not just physically, but mentally too.

🎯Within minutes, your body releases endorphins, natural feel-good chemicals that help reduce stress and anxiety.
🎯Your brain starts producing more dopamine and serotonin, which are key in fighting depression.
🎯You’ll feel more awake and alert, even if you started off feeling sluggish.
🎯Exercise helps lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone), making you feel calmer.
🎯Your breathing and heart rate become more controlled, which can ease feelings of panic or overwhelm.
🎯Over time, you’ll build resilience, making daily stresses feel more manageable.

So, with this in mind I’m offering FREE home workout programs for men struggling with mental health. No gym, no fancy equipment - just simple, effective workouts you can do from home to boost your mood, energy, and confidence.

And on top of that regular weekly check ins to see how you’re getting on and provide any additional support you may need.

If you would like to discuss how a training programme can help you, and have one tailored especially for you, then please do drop me a line.

I appreciate some of you may with to contact me anonymously, that’s not a problem and will of course be respected.

Unfortunately my focus at 16 when I left school was not on fitness, I had no desire back then to become a Personal Trainer, to be fair, I'm not even sure it was an option or a job 30 odd years ago (yes I am that old).

I loved languages at school. I was good at them too, you know, the mains ones, French and German that we had to learn. And just to clarify I have never been to France and asked where the swimming pool was or bought a stamp, or requested a hotel room with 2 beds.

My goal from 14/15 years old was to be an interpreter, I hoped it would allow me to escape Romford and see more of the world, and earn enough money to help my mum out financially.

However, during a parent's evening my mum mentioned my dream of being an interpreter to my German teacher (Frau Kelly), who was very happy about my decision, and then proceeded to tell my mum that it would entail around 7 years of college and university before I would achieve my goal.

Not a chance was that going to happen. I had no desire to spend more time doing school stuff, my experience of school had not been positive and I wanted to earn money to help out sooner rather than later. So I ditched that idea.

Fortunately (or not, depending how I look back at it) 2 months after leaving school I got a job as a trainee estimator for a joinery company. And seeing how I was also good at maths, this seemed to be a good fit.

And the rest is history (which back then I was not a fan of either).

I think everything happens for a reason though, and I do often wonder what would have happened if I had gone to university and stuck it out.

Au revoir!

Live Longer and Healthier with Regular Exercise

What if I told you that exercise isn’t just about looking good, it’s about living longer and feeling amazing while you do it?

1. Reduces the Risk of Chronic Diseases 🩺
Exercise lowers your chances of developing life-threatening conditions like:

Heart Disease: Physical activity strengthens your heart, improves circulation, and reduces blood pressure.
Diabetes: Staying active helps regulate blood sugar and improves insulin sensitivity.
Cancer: Research suggests regular exercise can lower the risk of several cancers, including breast and colon cancer.
💡 Pro Tip: Just 150 minutes of moderate exercise a week can make a difference in reducing these risks.

2. Boosts Cardiovascular and Lung Health ❤️
Your heart and lungs work more efficiently with regular exercise, keeping you healthier for longer.

Why it matters: A stronger heart means better circulation, reduced risk of stroke, and more energy for daily activities.

3. Maintains a Healthy Weight ⚖️
Carrying extra weight increases the risk of chronic diseases. Exercise helps you manage your weight by:

Burning calories and building lean muscle.
Keeping your metabolism active as you age.

4. Fights Age-Related Decline 🏋️‍♀️
Regular exercise helps combat the natural decline in muscle mass, bone density, and mobility that comes with aging.

Strength Training: Prevents frailty and reduces the risk of falls.
Flexibility and Balance Exercises: Keep you active and independent for longer.

5. Supports Mental Health and Cognitive Function 🧠
Exercise doesn’t just benefit your body, it keeps your mind sharp too!

Lowers Risk of Dementia: Regular activity improves blood flow to the brain and supports memory.
Enhances Mood: Exercise reduces stress, anxiety, and depression, which are linked to overall health.

6. Promotes Longevity Through Lifestyle Changes 🌟
Exercise encourages other healthy habits:

Better sleep patterns. Improved nutrition choices. Reduced stress levels.

Boost Your Energy Levels with Exercise ⚡

Do you find yourself feeling tired or sluggish during the day? Believe it or not, exercise might be the solution!

Staying active gives you a natural energy boost and helps you feel refreshed and ready to take on the day.

1. Improves Circulation 🌬️
When you exercise, your heart pumps blood more efficiently, delivering oxygen and nutrients to your muscles and organs.

💡 The Result: Better circulation means your body runs like a well-oiled machine, leaving you feeling energized instead of drained.

2. Increases Oxygen Delivery 🚀
Physical activity helps your body use oxygen more effectively. More oxygen in your bloodstream means your cells can produce energy faster, reducing feelings of fatigue.

💡 Fun Fact: Even a quick walk can boost oxygen flow and wake you up during an afternoon slump!

3. Combats Fatigue 💤
Ironically, the more you move, the more energy you have. Regular exercise:

Improves Endurance: Making everyday tasks feel easier.

Boosts Mitochondria: These are the "power plants" of your cells, and exercise helps them produce more energy.

4. Releases Feel-Good Hormones 🧠
Exercise triggers the release of endorphins, which not only improve mood but also help you feel more alert and motivated.

💡 Pro Tip: A short morning workout can set a positive, energized tone for the entire day!

5. Reduces Stress and Improves Sleep 😴
Stress and poor sleep can drain your energy. Exercise helps by:

Reducing stress hormones like cortisol.

Improving the quality of your sleep, so you wake up feeling refreshed.

If you'd like to find out more, send me a message, I'd be more than happy to help.
