Insights
Behaviour & Consistency
Nearly everyone who walks into the Reigate studio describes tasks — train more, eat better. A clear picture of the person you intend to be at 70 makes the everyday decisions far easier.
Strength & Fitness
Strength training after 50 needs a deliberate relationship with discomfort — enough to drive adaptation, never so much that it costs you the next three sessions.
Behaviour & Consistency
For most people over 50 the constraint is implementation, not knowledge. Cutting the number of decisions usually does more for results than adding more detail.
