Hey all, just curious! 👀

If there was a private strength training studio in the Perth/Smiths Falls area, would that be something you’d be interested in?

The idea would be a welcoming space focused on strength training, with options for personal training, small group sessions, and independent workouts.

No commitments or sales pitch, I’m just trying to gauge local interest as we explore the idea. Let me know in the comments if it’s something you’d use, or what you’d love to see in a space like this!

I’d also love to know: if you’re in Perth, would you be willing to travel to Smiths Falls to train? And if you’re in Smiths Falls, would you travel to Perth?

As always, thank you so much for your continued support. It truly means the world 💪🏻

Believe it or not, I could not have completed this hike without strength training.

The amount of times I was thanking myself for the work I have put in over the past 10 years was more than I can count. Thanking myself for training to be strong, to move my own body weight, and for constantly challenging my mind and body to become capable of doing such awesome things!

This hike really tested my abilities. I was balancing through snow-covered sections of trail, carefully lowering my entire body weight down rock faces, stepping up onto rocks over 4 feet high, and jumping back down onto the trail. I was even pulling myself up the side of a mountain face using nothing but a steel cable.

These are things I couldn’t have done without the strength, stability, and muscular control that come from training consistently.

I train for so many reasons, but being able to do cool things is definitely one of them! 🤙🏼

Getting back into the gym after time off is way harder than people expect.

It’s not about motivation - it’s usually 1 of these 3 things holding you back:
going too hard too fast, no real plan, and expecting your body to perform and look like it used to.

None of that means you’re “out of shape” or doing anything wrong. It just means your approach needs to match where you’re at right now.

The goal isn’t to punish your body back into consistency… it’s to rebuild something you can actually stick to.

If you’re in that phase right now and want help figuring out what to actually do in the gym, message me “START” and we can create a plan for you.
