Member Monday is back with Walsall member @lifting_with_resistance who continues to inspire and aspire to new levels in his training whilst spreading awareness of a condition close to our hearts. We are so proud and excited to see him share his updates! “Progressing toward my 140kg x 20rep goal with a new video showcasing 115kg x 21reps (1 extra rep because I can’t count). Today’s session felt smoother during my deload week, benefiting from a slight rest 😆. Now, just 25kg away from the target. Anticipating the challenge in the upcoming cycle starting next week. Hitting this 140kg mark will be a noteworthy achievement. The grind continues. Video at 1.5 (obviously because I’m not doing that fast)” You’re killing it out there Rajan and we can’t wait to see what you do next! 💛 #livingwithdiabetes #fitnessinspo #gymmotivation #ificandoitsocanyou #type1lifter #menwholift #simplygymwalsall #wellbeing #communitygym #gymlife

Fitness Friday tips for you coming from one of our PTs at Cheltenham - @adonis_georgiou who says "The temptation to lift heavier and heavier is real, I get it, when I was at my beginning stages of my lifting journey I was OBSESSED with more weight at all costs - which having the pursuit of progress is a GREAT drive to have! BUT If this comes at a cost of sacrificing your form, this is not beneficial to your physique development and your numbers will eventually plateau. The true physique development gains come from executing proper form and effectively taking that form into the heavier weights as you progress in your strength levels 💪🏼 If you’re wondering why form matters 👇🏼 MAXIMISE MUSCLE ENGAGEMENT - Proper form is a sure way of maximising muscle activation, and therefore building those target areas effectively. INJURY PREVENTION - It’s not about lifting the most (unless you’re a strongman, powerlifter or weightlifter), it’s about lifting smart. Prioritising form significantly lowers the risk of injuries, keeping you in the game for the LONG run. How to Prioritize Form👇🏼 Start lighter and master the movement, instead of rushing for the heavier weights. Begin with a load that allows you to execute each rep with great form. As you build efficiency on the movement, gradually increase the weight. Form falters = progression stall👇🏼 Sacrificing form for the sake of more weight might give you a temporary ego boost, but it’s a shortcut to stalling your progress. Quality over quantity stands true here. So, whether you’re a beginner or someone who’s pushing your limits, prioritize form over everything!! Start light, master the movement, and watch your strength sky rocket 🚀 You’ll thank yourself for taking this approach.

To have such refined clubs, professional staff and high quality kit that people mistake us for a corporate chain. 😱 (We would never!) In actual fact we started from spit and saw dust. You guys loved us so much that we continued that and were able to expand, now we're here - with 8 gyms across the nation! All spreading the same values which we started with, to exercise at an affordable price without comprimising on facilities. 👐 We continue to embody our spit and saw dust ways as we're highly self sufficient and family run but now we're grown we can't as much as we used to. We have to extend work to businesses who can do what we aren't able, sometimes meaning things don't happen at the way we'd like, but we sure are incredibly grateful to be in the position to have such a problem. 😂 And it's all thanks to our members, you, supporting our little business and mistaking us for being in the same league as the big boys with 200+ gyms nationwide. So this is just a message to tell you, our followers, members and fans, we appreciate all you've done for us! 💛 Read more about our history on our website here - www.simplygym.co.uk/our-story #simplygymcares #smallgym #localgym #gymcommunity #gymlife #gymowner #familyrungym #independantgym #budgetgym #spitandsawdust

Here's what we got up to last week! HQ took our managerial team to an Escape Reality day out and if the experience was anything to go by, some of them actually enjoy being locked up in a windowless room for hours on end! 😂 While we hope our Ops Manager's win doesn't go to his head, we suspect he gave himself the easiest room on purpose. We can't show our appreciation for this group of managers enough and this day out was just a small way we could do that, we hope everyone had a great day 💛 #notallourofficesdonthavewindowswepromise #wellbuythemsunlamps #escaperoom #escaperealitycoventry #simplygymhq #simplygymcares
