P T Weston - Personal Trainer

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.

01/01/2025

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.

Keep Your Workouts Fresh and Exciting with a PT (me 👋)

Are you bored of doing the same workouts over and over? Feeling like you’ve hit a plateau? A Personal Trainer can transform your routine into something fun, dynamic, and effective!

1. Say Goodbye to Boredom
Doing the same exercises every week can feel repetitive and uninspiring. I can:

Introduce new movements, equipment, and workout styles to keep things interesting.

Bring energy and creativity to every session, making fitness something you look forward to.

💡 Pro Tip: Ever tried battle ropes, kettlebells, or TRX bands? Working with me, you’ll discover exciting new ways to challenge your body.

2. Prevent Plateaus with New Techniques
Your body adapts to the same routine over time, slowing progress. I can help you avoid this by:

Adding progressive overload to build strength.

Introducing new exercises that challenge different muscle groups.

Switching between cardio, strength training, and flexibility work to keep your body guessing.
💡 Why it works: Variety ensures you’re always progressing toward your goals.

3. Tailored Creativity for YOUR Goals
I don't just throw in random exercises, I will craft a plan that aligns with your unique goals.

Want to tone up? Expect fun bodyweight circuits or Pilates-inspired moves.
Training for a race? Incorporate creative cardio drills or agility work.
💡 Pro Tip: Every workout is exciting, but it’s also designed with purpose!

4. Discover New Ways to Move
From functional fitness to yoga-inspired stretches, I can introduce you to movements you might never have tried.

This keeps your sessions fresh and exciting.
It also challenges your body in new ways, improving flexibility, strength, and coordination.

5. Build Confidence and Have Fun
When workouts are enjoyable and engaging, they don’t feel like a chore. My creativity will help you:

Explore new skills, like mastering a deadlift.

Gain confidence as you conquer new challenges every week.

💡 Why it works: When fitness is fun, you’re more likely to stick with it!

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.

Find the Fun in Fitness! 🕺❤️

Fitness doesn't have to be a repeat of the same thing, it can help to mix things up a little, try different activities, and pick the ones you enjoy.

Here's 5 simple tips for making your fitness journey something that you look forward to.

1. Choose Activities You Love 🎯
Forget the idea that workouts must involve running on a treadmill or lifting heavy weights if that’s not your thing. Fitness comes in all shapes and forms:

🎼Love music? Try a dance class or blast your favorite playlist during your workout.
🌳Enjoy being outdoors? Go for hikes, cycling, or a jog in the park.
🧘‍♀️Prefer mindfulness? Yoga or Pilates might be your go-to for relaxation and flexibility.
💡 Tip: The best workout is the one you actually enjoy doing!

2. Mix It Up for Extra Fun 🎢
Keep things exciting by trying something new each week. From Zumba to kickboxing or even trampoline fitness, there are countless ways to stay active and entertained.

3. Make It Social 👯
Grab a friend, join a class, or participate in group challenges. Working out with others adds accountability, support, and plenty of laughs along the way!

4. Celebrate Small Wins 🎉
Nothing boosts motivation like seeing progress. Whether it’s completing your first push-up, nailing a yoga pose, or smashing a personal record, celebrate every victory!

5. Turn Fitness into Quality Me-Time 🌟
See your workouts as an opportunity to unwind, de-stress, and focus on YOU. Put on your favorite playlist or enjoy the peaceful rhythm of a good workout session.

Whatever type of fitness you find, make sure it's fun, it'll also help you stick with it, and not get bored after a few weeks.

2. Eliminate Wasted Effort ❌
A PT (me) ensures every movement in your session has a purpose. No wasted reps or unnecessary exercises, just the most effective moves to get results fast.

3. Fit Workouts Into Your Schedule 🕒

11/12/2024

I know what you're thinking, why is a Personal Trainer telling everyone he likes biscuits, in particular chocolate digestives, more to the point, dark chocolate digestives.

Well, simply put, I love biscuits, always have done, especially dunking them in a cup of tea or coffee. 🍪

Yes, but aren't they bad for you? All that sugar, and fat etc etc??

Indeed they are. However, I think that eating a few biscuits here and there is ok, especially if you are eating proper meals (not that processed rubbish), drinking plenty of water and getting lot's of exercise.

Different story if you are say on your ar$e all day, eating microwave meals or takeaways and not getting regular exercise.

People tend to worry too much about what they eat when they are trying to lose weight and get in shape, and why put yourself through all that stress and deny yourself the odd treat?? As long as you don't overdo it with the sweet / cake / chocolate intake, everything is ok!

What's your favourite biscuit?

My top 5 are

Dark chocolate digestive.
Bourbon creams
Custard creams
Any shortbread biscuit
Jammy dodger

Happy dunking!

How Exercise Can Help You Sleep Better 💤

Are you struggling to get a good night’s sleep? 😴

Did you know regular exercise could be the key to catching those Z’s?

Here’s how staying active improves your sleep quality and why it’s time to make fitness part of your nightly routine:

1. Helps You Fall Asleep Faster 🌙
Exercise increases your body’s need for rest by:

Burning Energy: Physical activity depletes your energy stores, making your body crave recovery through sleep.

Reducing Stress Hormones: Exercise lowers cortisol and helps your mind relax, preparing you for sleep.

💡 Tip: Even a brisk 20-minute walk can help your body wind down naturally.

2. Improves Sleep Quality 🛌
Not all sleep is created equal,deep, restorative sleep is what truly refreshes you. Exercise helps by:

Increasing Deep Sleep: Your body spends more time in slow-wave sleep, which is crucial for physical recovery and immune health.

Regulating Sleep Cycles: Consistent exercise supports a healthy circadian rhythm, helping you wake up feeling energized.

3. Combats Insomnia 🌟
If you’re tossing and turning at night, exercise can help:

Reduces Anxiety: Physical activity releases endorphins, calming your mind and making it easier to relax at bedtime.

Promotes Relaxation: Low-impact activities like yoga or stretching before bed can ease muscle tension and quiet your thoughts.

4. Boosts Daytime Energy Levels ⚡
Better sleep equals more energy during the day, and the cycle feeds itself! When you’re well-rested, you’re more likely to stay active, and when you stay active, you’re more likely to sleep well.

5. When to Exercise for Better Sleep 🕒
Timing matters!

Morning Workouts: Help regulate your body clock and boost energy for the day.

Afternoon/Evening Workouts: Burn off stress but avoid high-intensity exercises too close to bedtime, as they might leave you feeling too energized to sleep.

💡 Tip: Experiment to find the time that works best for your body.

07/12/2024

Your fitness journey starts with a purpose, and understanding your "WHY" is the key to staying motivated and committed. It’s more than just setting a goal, it’s about really connecting with the reasons behind your desire to get fit.

1. Your Why is Your Driving Force 🚀
When the excitement of starting fades, your "why" keeps you moving forward. It’s the personal connection to your fitness journey that:

Keeps You Focused: On tough days, remembering why you started gives you the determination to push through.

2. Common "Whys" and How They Inspire You
Think about why YOU want to get fit. Here are some examples that might resonate:

✨ To Feel More Confident
Whether it’s about feeling good in your clothes, standing taller, or owning the room, fitness builds self-esteem.

✨ To Have More Energy for Your Family
Kids to keep up with? Family adventures to enjoy? Regular exercise boosts stamina and helps you stay present for the moments that matter.

✨ To Improve Your Health
Fitness isn’t just about looking good,it’s about living well. From reducing the risk of chronic illnesses to improving mental health, exercise is a gift to your body and mind.

3. Your Why Makes Your Goals Personal 🎯
When your fitness goals are tied to your "why," they’re more meaningful and easier to stick with.

Example: "I want to lose weight" becomes "I want to lose weight so I can play and interact with my kids without getting tired."

4. How to Define Your "Why" 🖊️
Take a moment to reflect and ask yourself:

What do I want to achieve through fitness?
Why is that important to me?
How will my life improve when I achieve it?

Write down your "why" and keep it visible, a sticky note on your mirror, a note in your phone, or even a post on social media.

5. Share Your Why and Build Support 🤝
When you share your "why" with others, it creates accountability and inspires those around you.

Whether you’re looking for a tailored workout plan, nutritional guidance, or just some extra motivation, I’m here to help you succeed. 2025 is about YOU - your goals, your health, and your happiness.

Are you struggling to stay consistent with your workouts? Or finding it hard to push through on those low-energy days?

This is where having a Personal Trainer (me 👋) makes all the difference. Here’s how working with a me can keep you on track and motivated to achieve your goals!

1. Stay Committed to Your Goals 🎯
Life gets busy, and it’s easy to let fitness fall by the wayside. A PT:

Helps You Prioritize Fitness: With scheduled sessions, your workouts become a non-negotiable part of your routine.

Keeps You Focused: A PT ensures every session moves you closer to your fitness goals, whether it's weight loss, muscle building, or overall health.

💡 Tip: Book your sessions ahead of time to make them a priority in your week!

2. Consistency is Key 🔑
Consistency is the secret sauce to seeing results, but we all have days when motivation wanes. A PT keeps you:

Accountable: Knowing someone is waiting for you at the gym can be the nudge you need to show up.

On Track: If you’ve missed a workout, your PT will help you refocus and stay committed.

3. Motivation on Tough Days 💪
Not every workout feels like a 10/10, but your PT knows how to:

Push You Safely: They’ll encourage you to give your best effort, even when you’re not feeling 100%.

Adapt Workouts: If your energy is low, they can tailor your session to match your needs without sacrificing progress.

4. Celebrate Wins Together 🎉
A PT is your biggest cheerleader! They’ll:

Celebrate milestones like lifting heavier weights, running faster, or sticking to a routine.

Help you see progress, even if the scale isn’t moving, like improved endurance or better form.

5. Build a Routine You Can Stick To 🕒

A PT helps you create a realistic schedule and develops workouts that fit your lifestyle, making it easier to stay consistent.

Yep, that's right, I support Leyton Orient.

Not a massive premier league team, with multi-million pound superstar players on multi-million pound wages, a struggling league 1 side from East London.

I reckon I am one of a 20,000 people who support them, obviously there's only about 4,000 who go to watch them, the rest like me are armchair fans. I have been to see them a few times, and each time we lost (2 play off finals, and one home game).

Whether they win, lose or draw, they don't cause me any stress, I have never gone into work on a Monday moaning and b*tching about how bad they were, or how crap and biased the ref was against us, like my fellow colleagues used to do about Spurs or Arsenal or Man United. It's just a game.....life goes on.

Why Leyton Orient? Well, when I was young it was always Liverpool and Everton in the FA Cup final, and that was the only televised football on TV, so I supported Liverpool.

Then I supported West Ham as my mates at school supported them. However, my Granddad always used to talk about Leyton Orient, and, if the rumours and tales are true, he played for them after the war. I think there is a photo somewhere....

And I used to listen intently to what he told me, and the stories he had to tell, and, well to be fair, I listened with fascination about everything my Granddad told me, and from then on (when I was about 12 ish) Leyton Orient were my team.

Oddly enough, my first job was in Leyton when I was 16, which was less than a mile from Brisbane Road, and a colleague sold programmes there at the weekend.

Over the years I have seen them go up and down the leagues, mainly down, and struggle to get back up, but for me it's more the sentiment, and the attachment I have with them and my Granddad.
