Hi guys
So we all know what has been going on recently. The world has ground to a standstill, the Coronavirus is devastating lives, economies and causing political turmoil, travel disruption and chaos wherever it goes.
Thankfully, we’ve got an NHS filled with amazing staff who are doing their best to keep this thing at bay.
Those of you who train with us at AdMac Fitness know just how seriously I’ve been taking this - I’m on immunosuppressant drugs myself, so I have to be extra careful when it comes to sanitising the gym. I was buying alcohol gels, gloves and wipes before it was trendy!
The call for gyms to close came on Friday 20th of March. In a swoop, it kind of devastated my business.
As a self-employed guy, there was no immediate announcement of government financial help. I had a few decisions to make to try and keep things ticking over - I’ve got a responsibility to my clients and I’ve got bills to pay! So what would I do?
I saw personal trainers offering online workouts, telling their clients that they could get just as good a workout at home.
I didn’t do that, because I don’t agree with it.
Not that I don’t agree with exercising at home - I’m totally on board with that, I just don’t agree that you can train as well in a house with limited equipment as you could at the gym.
If doing dips off your sofa can replace heavy push presses, or bodyweight squats can replace pushing a prowler then I’d be joining the workout from home PT movement too! Until that point though, I’ll be urging you to keep yourself going but also teach you how you can maintain your fitness and work on your weaknesses.
I’m going to offer an online workout to anyone who wants to join me. It’ll show you the best way of training at home with no kit. It’s not as good as the gym, but it’ll still keep you fit, active and moving in a strong and healthy way. You won’t let your fitness slide, that’s for sure!
AdMac Fitness Online Workouts
To help the AdMac Fitness members stay on top of their fitness whilst under lockdown, I will be offering one or two online zoom sessions a week. These will be held on Monday’s and Thursday’s, 6.30-7.30pm.
Each class is £5 and free for NHS staff members.
To enrol, send me an email or WhatsApp (click the link and it’ll let you do it) and I’ll send you the meeting number and passcode to access the session.
It’ll keep your spirits up, it’ll keep your training going, it’ll raise endorphins and it’s a great way to stay sociable in these difficult times.
Keep your chin up, we’ll be through this soon and will be throwing weights around like we always used to!

P.S. I’m loving your juggling and hand stand interaction with me on Instagram! If you want to join in follow here… AdMac Instagram.
P.P.S. This enforced break has given me time to work on my online programme offering in more detail and I’ve decided to make a few changes to it. There’ll be an announcement of the first version of it VERY soon!
