How to fulfil your potential with simple values
Yesterday I got sent this great video where Dave Brailsford basically got asked about how they (The British Cycling Squad) are so successful. (Little teaser – the answers coming up will surprise you) Unless you’ve been living under a rock this last year especially (they’ve been winning medals for years now) you’ll [...]

Great Manchester Run 10K Training Program
This is a note specifically for members of ABC Fitness Camp I know some of you are planning to do the Great Manchester Run this year again or for the first time and have been asked a couple times on what to do to help you on the day. Pretty much everything you [...]

Comparing bootcamps is like Apple iPod to another mp3?
Over the last couple weeks I’ve experienced first-hand some serious reservations from others about bootcamp and to be honest I don’t blame them one bit! Stories of getting injured and the randomness of the session. Fears about how difficult it will be. All coming from what else they’ve experienced or [...]

Lazy Weight Loss and Fitness
Weight loss, fat loss, improved fitness and health… …Whatever your ultimate desire is (or desires)… …ARE EASY… …When you hustle, do the harder things (based on 21st century obstacles, fears and habits) and create long lasting lifestyle habits. That’s how someone loses 50lbs+ in a few months [...]

Athletes don’t need isolation movements
Isolation exercises get no love. I’m surprised every time I hear trainers say you shouldn’t do biceps curls or calf raises because they aren’t “functional.” I don’t know what definition of “functional” they’re using, but it’s clearly different from mine. Let me offer some examples. Imagine a wrestler trying to flip his opponent, or a [...]
Is fear holding you back?
I decided to write this post after reading one of a similar nature by a good friend of mine for personal trainers that inspired me to attack it from a differing point of view. My thanks to Adam Toohey. Sarah was on the road to getting the figure that she wanted. For years she had [...]

[ABCFC] March 8th Birthday special for ABCFC
Once a year on my birthday I offer a substantial discount on my bad-ass group-training program, A.B.C. Fitness Camp, Didsbury. It’s the only time I offer a discount (of sorts!). For the most part I never, ever do discounts because I feel it damages the perceived value of the product. That’s why [...]
