  Speaker 3: Always busy, busy, busy, which is the best best way
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: to be.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: It definitely is for someone like me. I can't just
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: sit around like my brain doesn't switch off like I
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: sometimes I wonder, you know, is it the coffee. Am
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: I drinking too much coffee? But I'll never give up
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: the coffee. So yeah, it's just swings around the boat.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: But it's all good. It's all fast paced and I
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: just trave like that, you know.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think I'm just saying, like, you know,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I don't want to sit around and do nothing, and
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: always we wanted to planning to do something or doing
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: something or yeah, whatever I think is the best best
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: way used to be absolutely.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: And like, as you know, I suppose just very quickly
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: on the whole sickness thing, even though our diseases are different.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: When I was sick for long enough for those two years,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: like I was homebooned, so I just like you just
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: remember those horrible times of being from a home to
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: the hospital to the pharmacy that was my life. So
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: like I am going back that way ever, you know, so.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Absolutely not.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: And if anyone's listened to the first three parts, which
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: are definitely several people at they'll know your journey up
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: to now, and it's a heck of a story. If
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: you haven't gone back and listened to those three parts,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: definitely do so, because that journey from you know, from
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: like the no exercise, and the illness right to what
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: we're just about to talk about is is fascinating.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Really inspirational.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I don't mean that lightly. That that's a really really
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: inspirational story and I love it. But speaking of what
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: you're doing now, what are you doing now? No?
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Obviously yeah from someone that never lifted a dumbele or
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: walking near a gym in their life, I would run
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: the opposite way, like completely, as we know, and I've
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: been in the gym now two and a half years consistently,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: never missed one training session. Just fell in love from
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: the get go. I don't even know how I fell
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: in love with it because I always hated it, but
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: I just fell in love from the get go. So
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: fast forward to now, well last year, maybe I was
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: just making a lot of progress. I was really like,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I've worked really hard on myself, both physically and mentally.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: I guess the stepbacks really set me back when I
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: was really at my sickest and it was either sink
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: or swim, so I turned to fitness through Ale true Dan,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: my coach, and it just flipped everything everything for me.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Like so that was two and a half years ago.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Last year I had this notion because I was so
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: interested in health and well being and fitness. I was
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: always one to ask somebody in questions, as you know
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Tom Blake, I just you know harp On. So I
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: was always like, you know the way like somebody just say,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: for example, a bicycle caer, you just do this and
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: everyone knows you just go and do your movement, Whereas
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: I would look at that and I'd look really deeply
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: into it and I'd be like, what muscle is, like
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: how the muscle is contracting, and how to slow the movement.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Like little things were making me so much more interest,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: but like in depth that I was like, this is
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: something I really love. Like i'd watch someone working out,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: be it a reel online, and it's not that I'm
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: watching just like a good fitness reel. I'm watching the
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: body contracting. And I really like loved the whole anatomy
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: of watching the body change and grow and build muscle
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: and stuff. And I suppose for my own fat last
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: journey and what can be buried underneath a lot of
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: fat and stuff, and it's just really so last year.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: It just I just said to myself, you know what,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Like I've worked for myself for fourteen years now, so
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I'm well equipped independently to know like bouts of about
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: business in and out what worked. There will be a
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: lot of trilinara, you know, not to be disheartened at
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: the beginning and all this kind of stuff. So I said, right,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I'm going to do a personal training qualification. I spoke
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: to my coach about it. He was like, you know,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: you have the passion, you have the flair for it,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: why the hell not really supportive all my friends. I
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: also spoke to family everyone. Everyone was just like, it's
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: all you talk about anyway, so let's just go do it.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: You know, it's all you heard on about these days,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: so like it makes sense. So at the end of
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: last year I signed up to Well. I did a
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: lot of homework sourceing like a really good reputable company
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: in Ireland that does personal training courses because as you know, Tom,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: nowadays everything's online like everything. You can bloody buy something.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: You can buy a course now for like one hundred
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: quid and you're like automatically qualified and anything like it's wild.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: So I wanted to make sure that I was choosing
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: the correct one, that it was a really good, recognized,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: reputable company that would be recognized like throuughe like here
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: in our and just called REPS Ireland. So they're basically
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: a firm that's like worldwide known. And yeah, it's just
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: the best qualification that I could get. So I decided
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: to skip like the shorter levels like gym instructor all
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: that kind of thing. And I just said, no, give
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: me the hardest course, give me the toughest course, give
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: me the more challenging course. So I just went straight
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: in for my Level four in Fitness and Nutrition and
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: started that. Did on the modules again, found it really
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: interesting just learning about the anatomy, everything about the body.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: And I think, like in hindsight or in general, a
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: lot of people might just think a personal trainer is
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: just someone that helps you in the gym or you know,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: might tell you do a few squats or do this,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: or that. My God, like my whole world has opened up,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: like you know, Tom, You've done this. So I was like, wow,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: like the extremes to know just about anything, you know.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: But anyway, I took it all in my striate. I
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: enjoyed every single module I did, had many assignments to submit.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: I was under pressure a lot of the time because
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm busy anyway, but no, it was something
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: I definitely wanted to work really hard on. So I
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: started that or was it early this year actually, and
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: just worked really really hard. And I had two weekends
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: then in Dublin with the company in their gym, So
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: there were two full weekends. There were practical days, theory
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: days on the spot shouting questions a days and like
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: the company APEC are amazing, like they're so professional, they're
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: so experienced there amy like the athletes day train are
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: up there with like the Irish rugby team and things,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: so like really really good company and the trainers are amazing,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: really professional. So I knew I was getting trained, well
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: you could say, so, yeah. I did all that in Jubblin.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Then I came to the second weekend, which was more exams.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: It was my final exam, I guess where I had
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: to create a plan and build a plan with somebody
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: and execute that and using all their own protocols, remembering everything,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: like and you know when you're in that environment and
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: you're in the hot seat and this is like a
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: pass or failed situation, and I was really nervous. But
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: the minute I opened my mouth and I had my client,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: and the minute I opened my mouth and started my program,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: it just flowed. It was just so natural for me.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: I felt very comfortable. The feedback was amazing. He was
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: just like, you're just like you're just very natural, really
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: able to like interact and keep someone relaxed and confident
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: but feeling confident, and you explain really well and instant
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: passed like it was like amazing, you know, like well done.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: So that was me done in August. The relief on
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: that drive home from Dublin. I was absolutely knackered mentally
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: because it's always like, you know, you just think the worst,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: don't gen You're very like I'm very hard on myself
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: the best of times, but I do trust what I do,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: so I knew i'd do all right, and if I didn't,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: there was going to be a reason why I didn't.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: But no, all right, Well, that drive home was exhausting,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: so got my level for qualification and in the meantime,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: I think I mentioned this on the last podcast. I
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: had taken on like three or four girls at the
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: beginning of January as a little project for myself, so
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: basically to coach them full on, coach them and no
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: half arsenate like I was wanted to be their full
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: on coach and put everything into practice as I was
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: going along, and those four girls absolutely nailed it. The
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: feedback was incredible. They've changed their lives, like so well.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: One of the girls recently just hit her ten kg
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: fat loss, which is insane. I checked in every Sunday
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: with them. We did progress pictures, I did all their
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: gym plans, their nutrition, nutrition guidance was always at the
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: other or at the end of the phone, and I
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: just felt really confident in what I was doing, you know,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: and I was just everything was just kind of making sense,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: like this is what I'm meant to do. And so
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: that was my little project up until I was qualified.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: And once I was qualified, I wanted to obviously take
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: it a little bit further because I'm now legitimately able
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: to I have all the correct paperwork, insurance, blah blah blah.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: So my aim was to just start building a little team,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: start building my own coaching platform basically with my own
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: team and lo and behold, right now, it's the eighth
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: of September. I have ten clients that are absolutely every
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: day I'm like wow. So in the space of me
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: being qualified and to now I think people were almost waiting,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: and that's really nice for me, you know. I was
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: even now like there's three more potentials. And don't get
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: me wrong, and quantity is never a priority for me.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: I'm all quality. You know, if you can commit and
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: you really want to improve yourself, I'm happy with. It's
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: not a numbers game at all. Like I just want
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: to make that clear, because that's just not how I
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: am at all. But it is a lovely boost when
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: you have people wanting you to help them and wanting
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: to pay for a service that I'm so passionately about.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I think I've probably so I showcased that a lot,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: but I've probably on like subconsciously just harp on about
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: it so much that they're like, right, okay, like she does,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: actually she is actually passionate about it. So yeah, I
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: have I have ten full on Jim acting clients at
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: the moment who we've introduced to Jim Jim to them
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: for the very first time. They've never been on a
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: fitness journey. Other people are very experienced, so everyone's goals
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: are different. It's so interesting. Everyone's at very different levels
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: and just to be able to adapt to that. I mean,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: like everybody lives busy lives. Some people do have chronic illnesses,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: and honestly, my mind has just been blown by just
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: how much it took off. And people were saying to me, like,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: what's your goal? You know, and I'm like, right now,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: I was only literally qualified. I'm like, right now, I
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: want to create and build something for myself and my
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: use and my passion and being able to help other people. Ultimately.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: I get such a kick out of on my checkens
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: on a Sunday seeing people so excited. Their confidence alone
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: is amazing, their confidence in the gym. Like I've been
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: on the phone to one of the claims as she
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: walked into the gym on the first day. She was
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: absolutely petrified. I remember, I was exactly that. I stayed
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: on the phone with her and after about fifteen minutes
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: I left her alone and I was like, you know,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: I'm here if you need me or whatever. Like people
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: are this nervous about a gym, and I totally get it.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: It's really intimidating, you know, and people want to do it,
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: but they're just so nervous or they don't have a plan,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: or they don't know what to do where to start,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean, it's really normal. And she
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: came out of that first gym session an energy bunny,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: like absolutely full of life and like the smile ube
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: on your face now, Tom is exactly. I was like
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: this down the phone going That's just made my whole week,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Like just seeing someone be so scared and would never
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: do it to absolutely triven and sure like we're what
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: we're two months and now with her, I think yeah,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: because she was one of the ones that came on
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: board just at the beginning of me qualifying, so month
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: and n no, I don't know, a few weeks whatever,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: but she's flying. She calling herself a beast snow like,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: full of energy, full of confidence. But look, I do
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: take my role really seriously and I want my priority
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: is my clients. And as I said, I've worked for
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: myself a long time, that would have always been a
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: case for me. I stand over my work, be that
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: my fitness side now or my other business, and it's
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: just all going strength and strength at the moment, and
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: I'm in this happy bubble and I feel really good
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: about everything and I was going forward. So how did
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: I forget this? But last two weekends ago I hired
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: out a gym just local to me, and my plan
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: was to bring everybody together. It was almost like a
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: little celebration of me qualifying, having all the people around
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: me that have been so supportive, friends, claims, family, everything,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: and I led kind of a little bit of a
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: circuit in the gym. I had them all wearing the
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: same T shirts. I had lots of, Like I'm such
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: a novelty person anyway, so we'd like all our water
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: bottles like the girls brock gifts, which I did not expect,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: like a big massive cake, like a little champagne flute
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: with my coaching on it, like herds like good luck
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: hards everywhere, like literally all over my windowsill. I just
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: have a really great support network around me, you know.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: And we had the most amazing day, had so much
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: fun in the gym. I took them through like key
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: things and watts, RDAs hips, trust bench press, all that
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: kind of thing, just little things that I guess being
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: an online coach you don't get to do very often
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: in person, so just like key things for safety and
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: just progression and regression and all that kind of stuff.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: And we all got really cool pictures, got pictures of
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: them working out, and honestly, we left there and I'm
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: just like, I'm even now I'm talking to you and
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: talking about this that's happening, and I'm just I'm I'm
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: just so grateful. I can't believe, Like, if you had
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: said this to me, one of the clients said this
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: to me actually at that event, if you had said
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: this to me three years ago that I'd be doing
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: this now, I would have laughed. There's not in a
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: million years I would have thought mentally anyway or physically
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: that I'd be in this position, you know. So I'm
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: just really happy. And the online support from all my
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: online friends, including you, Tom and so many others, it
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: just spurs me on, you know. It motivates me and
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: it's nice, you know, and having that mutual support system
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: around you is just paramount. When you're starting something as well,
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: it can be very nerve wracking, but I think when
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: you have a little bit of confidence in yourself and
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: belief in what you're doing, a lot of things come
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: very natural. I'm not a I'm not a salesperson. I'm
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: not one of these coaches that will be in your dms,
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: like what's your goal? Have you had a coach before,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: like asking you all these silly questions that nobody wants,
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: like I've had them myself, you know, nobody wants them
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: at all. I'm not like that at all. I'm very
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: much If we can build a reporum where like we
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: can act and I can help you, then amazing, you know.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: So yeah, that's where I'm at now. I'm very much
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: up and running, still buildings, still always thinking and planning
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: in the background. But yeah, I've done a complete one
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: ada and I couldn't be happier. And I'm really proud
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: of myself. I don't say that very much at all.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: That almost like cringes me out saying that about myself,
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: But I am really proud of myself. Like my mom.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: My mom came to that gym event. My mom was
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: never in a gym in her life. She was like,
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: what do I wear to this? You know, I'm like,
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: you're fine. So my brother was there when he had
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: like put her on all the like like she was
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: on the skier, she was on the rower, she was
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: like doing all this. My brother was just taking her
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: through some things. She absolutely loved it. And when we
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: came home, she rang me and she was like just
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: watching you up there doing what you love looking back
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: to me, also watching you like Adeta on the coach
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: when you were so sick. It's just amazing, you know.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: And I got so emotionally, like I just got really
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: emotional because and I still do when I think about
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: it because oh sorry, god, Laura emotionally on a Monday morning.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: It's too early.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: But no, like what it sounded really cheesy and really extra,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: like I just adore what I'm doing. Oh and just.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: You, Yeah, it obviously needs I mean you can tell,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: like I've spoke to you loads about this, but tell
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: it means a lot to you. And it's not just
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: you know, people talk about pts and they have like
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: an idea in their head of what a PT is,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: and you know it's going to be somebody who's gonna
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: shout at you and is going to do that, is
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: going to do that, and it just and it couldn't
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: be further from the truth. And talking to you and
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: listening to you talk about it, it's obviously you're in
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: the right place, you know, because you really care about
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: it and and that's where and that and that can
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: be like any job, you know, it's whatever you do
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: you know, like without anybody having to tell you, you
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: know you're in the right role. Yeah, yeah, definitely in
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: the right role. But I in some parts you said
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: they're really really interesting things like the course itself, because
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't realize there were different companies because
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: the course is like I've done, you know, whether it
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: be cricket or football or whatever. They're just done by
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: the national governing bodies. So I didn't realize that there
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: were I'm not sure. I don't know if anybody else
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: do you that they're a different companies inside?
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: So you did lots of research.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I had to do lots of There's so many
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: institutes in Ireland that offered these courses, and some I
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: think are just like they fluff it up more and
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: I wanted like the raw deal. I wanted like the
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: hard one. I wanted the and like to be fair,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: these guys that run the courses, they don't actually take
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: on just anyone either, which I did. Like I had
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: a FaceTime with the head coach and I explained to
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: him where I was at, how much I love it,
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: and what I wanted to pursue from doing it, and
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: just my own journey and stuff. Like that, so he
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: actually almost wanted to know what I'm about before you're
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: accepted onto the course, so like it's pretty far. But
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: I like that, you know, I like that. I like
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: that it wasn't just a random thing because I was
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: talking to one of the guys there messaging me about
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: the course and he said, oh, yeah, I'm doing like
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: this one online.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: But like it's absolutely at pistake. Basically he was like,
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: it's a joke, and I'm like, yeah, I know. I
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: know what he means because I've seen so many of
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: them online.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: You can literally click a button these days and probably
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: don't qualified, like and you know, and that's another thing
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: as well, like I newly qualified. Yes I've been in
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: the gym consistently two years, but this piece of paper
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: doesn't make me amazing, you know. And I never stopped
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: I'll never stop learning. And I'm very humble. I'm not,
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: I know it all. I'm just not one of those
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: people are personal trainers that are like that. But yeah,
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: so yeah, in Ireland it's very there's so many institutes,
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: like it's crazy actually, but yeah, I'm glad they work
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: with them, to be fair, definitely.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: It's like coaching is driving a car like driving a car,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: isn't it. You can you can pass the test, and
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: you've passed the test, you can drive, but then you
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: really learn how to drive after you've been driving for
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: x amount of months.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: You don't.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: You don't just because you pass the course and whatever,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that you stop learning or you go right,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: I've passed now, don't need to do any more research,
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: don't exactly, And I imagine you're still one of those
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: people that still researches. Even though you don't have to
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: prep for a course. You're still doing research. You're still
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: finding out different ways, techniques, different bits and piece as well.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: I imagine you stay like that.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Always on Sundays, I do all my claims, plans to
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: do all their check ins, everything, and every Sunday I'm
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: still because I'd be on the laptop for hours because
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: everyone is different and I of that, but I'm still
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: researching always, like not just on a Sunday. Actually every day,
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: there's not a day goes by. I guess where I'm
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: not going, Oh I need to look into that, or
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: I need to find that out about nutrition, or you know,
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: there's always something and like that's that's that's exactly that,
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: like about the whole crit thing. You know, you can
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: pass your driving chest and never drive again, but you
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: have a past or you can pass your driving chest
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: and progress and get better and get more confident, and
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: exactly the same thing, isn't it.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Yes, exactly the same.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: And on that sort of preparing as well, you talked
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: about when you took your SAP and I've not pet exams,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: but I've been there for several coaching courses coaching exams,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: and you can tell the people in the room and
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: I had this with my my level three cricket, and
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: you can tell the people in the room that have
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: and you can tell the people in the room that
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: are just winging it. They turn up, they turn up
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: and they've got a little scrap of paper which may
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: have some sort of plan on it. I mean, you
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: don't need reams and reams of the stuff, but you
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: need an idea of what's going on. And if I
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: mean it's that the phrase, isn't it your failure to prepare?
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: Prepare to fail?
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: And if you, if you, if you, if you don't prepare,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: if you don't do the homework, because presumably again you
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: had kind of we said, you had assignments and you
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: had effectively like coursework to do. You know, if you
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: don't do that, obviously, don't do that, you don't pass.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: But if you don't do that, you don't learn either.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Or if you do it all at the last minute, yeah,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: you might pass, but if you don't actually learn any things,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: So what's the point exactly?
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's that's the other thing there. Actually with
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: the practical exam on the day was like he was
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: like really impressed on my plan and like why I
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: chose what I chose and that kind of thing. And
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: you had to tell me all that at the ENDGA,
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: you've passed, but you're not actually passed. And I didn't
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: realize this, but you don't actually pass until day because
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: we'd do like a twelve week case study at the end.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: Really like the amount of detail in this case study
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: just wasn't even normal. I will never be used again.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: But as you said, you actually learn a lot by
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: doing these things and going really into the nitty gritty.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: But like, until that case study was overviewed by the
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: head coach, you actually haven't passed, regardless of the practical
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: So I was like, oh, for God's sake, but like
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: I got, I got my email, like feedback was incredible,
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: So like total hard work paid off basically like you
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: definitely like if anybody winned it, it's you can't wing it.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: Like not that you might be able to talk the
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: talk and the practical, but like even still I think,
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: as you said, they know, don't belfe.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: I mean they do, yeah, I mean, like there are
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: some courses, like you said, you went for like the highest,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: the highest you could do. There are some courses and
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: there are some courts a bit on where you can
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: just effectively turn up, get it done, and that's it,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: and they're not really worth the paper there.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: It not, it's not and that doesn't actually excite me
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: because you know it's way too mediocre for me out exactly.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: But but if you can do it, do it properly,
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Properly like grill me. You know, I was grilled and
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: I wasn't mentally trained from a port. That's what I
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: signed up for.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: So yes, and I love as well the quality over
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: quantity is again having been in that situation myself when
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: I've had one to once, I've had you know, roams
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: and rooms of people you know want to have one
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: to once and sometimes you just have to say this
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: is this is absolutely pointless. It's pointlessly doing one to
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: ones because you know you're not going to get anything
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: out of it, or you will get something better out
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: of it if you do whatever, you know, group coaching whatever. Yeah,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: So I love that idea that it is very much.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: You know, you're going to tailor a plan to somebody
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: you're going to it's going to be quality rather than
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: just so.
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: I've seen it again.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: I've seen it before with coaches in my profession, where
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: you know they'll just go right and book you in here,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: book you in here, book you in here, without any
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: kind of thought of you know, what does this person need?
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Can I actually help them? What's my speciality? Because that's
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: the other thing you mentioned. You know, it's not just
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: about you doing the course and you knowing X, Y
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: and z, which muscle is attached to, what bone in
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: which blah blah blah. It's about you as a person
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: as well, and it's about you know, what do I bring,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: what can I help?
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: Are we going to be a good fit, et cetera,
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: et cetera.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: That's that's the key thing there. Are we going to
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: be a good fish, because not every coach will be
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: suited to every client. And that's totally okay, you know,
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: that's like anything else, you know, but absolutely like you
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: do have to you do have to fit each other,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: you know. So yeah, for me, quality a million percent.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: I don't want massive amounts of clients that can't be arsed,
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: that are just flippant, you know, Like I put a
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: lot of time and effort into those. Like one of
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: my key questions is how committed are you? Are you
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: really committed? Like are you in a good space to
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: really like because and I tell them all, you know,
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: don't come and ask me for a six week fat blast,
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: because you're going to absolutely hate the six weeks. You're
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: going to be miserable. You're gonna the minute the six
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: weeks is over, you're going to go back to old habits.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: You're gonna you know, it's a vicious I've done it myself.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: I have done it myself. I've done it. I've done
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: it so many times myself and it got me. Absolutely No,
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: we're only back to square one. I'm more about implementing
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: daily lifestyle habit changes, not dramatically, not all to be
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: changed in in week one very slowly improving your daily choices,
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: be it nutrition, getting it for a little walk, improving
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: your sleep, like so many little lifestyle changes. The impact
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: of that naturally gives you that longevity of a healthier lifestyle,
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: not a six week fat blast. You know, you're not
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: going to build your groups either in six weeks, you know,
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: like these six weeks blue. But like.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: I think that's That's another thing, isn't it. Fitness is
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: I mean some multi trillion pound industry, and there's a
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: lot of crap advice out there. There's a lot of
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: people that can I can do this for you in
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: a month.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: No, you can't.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: You can't, you know exactly, you know.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: You know you can't do that. So it's is about
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: finding somebody who actually knows what they're talking about.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it is actually becoming a relationship with that
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: person because you get to know the ox and jones
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: in their lives, like you're tailor making their plan, you know,
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: like they've put a lot of trust in you to
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: help them. And people come and get a coach for help,
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: so like if you're just flipping them off, well you
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: see it, like you know, and I'm not I'm not
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: shaming any big influencers that have master followings or anything
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: like that. But you can see that, you know, maybe
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: the unger generation. I'm not sure. Again, I'm not pointing fingers,
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: but like it's really easy to follow these big, huge
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: fitness influencers that look absolutely incredible without knowing they could
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: possibly be taken enhancements for their physique. What they're given
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: you may not necessarily be what they actually do. It
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: could be a copy and paste. Like there's so much
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: actual negative out there. I would rather deal with a
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: real person who will take the time and listen to
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: me and not just make me tick boxes and here
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: you go, there's your plan. Off you go. Everyone. All
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: of my client's plans are completely different, their goals are
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: completely different, and I make sure they feel and they
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: receive that personalized coaching. You know, that's really important for me,
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: just to make sure that I never want to be
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: one of those hotes ever.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: No, And it's it's it's too easy, isn't it.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: It's too easy just to take a plan off the
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: shelf and just go, oh, yeah, I'll do that. And
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: instead of, as you said, spending hours on your laptop
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: because you want to get it right. No, you're not
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: half asking this. You want to get it right. You
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: want to make sure that it's properly tailored for them. Yeah,
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: I mean you could do You could spend ten minutes
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: on your laptop, do ten plans. Go yeah and do this,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: do a few more press ups, do a few more lovely, lovely,
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: I'll get on with the rest of my Sunday.
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that could be done like more bother Yeah yeah, yeah,
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: you're absolutely rased.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but you don't. You don't want to because
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: you do it properly, you know, and properly. And it's
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: the other The POMO is really interesting because you've you've
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: been through the journey, which again when you're talking about
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: person to person coaching rather than sort of you know,
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: online or whatever, you've been through that journey and you
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: can show people that you've been through that journey as well,
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: which I think and again, they don't have to have IBD,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: they don't have to have nic illness, they just have
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: to I guess they can just see that you have
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: been from like literally the beginning to where you are now.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: And I think when you're talking about connecting with people,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: I think that's something that's really really strong.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: Do you think that as well?
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: One Like For me, I'm a very like I love
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: to communicate, you know, and I think building a rapport
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: with somebody like and as you said earlier, there tim
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: actually you know, people might think of a personal trainer
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: as ah do ten pushups blah blah blah and be
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: all like this that it's not like at all. You know,
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: I think you build your relationships through actually being more
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: empathetic to people's lifestyles. You know, as I said earlier,
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: people come to you for help. So there's obviously maybe
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: some obstacles that they need help with. The last thing
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: they want is you harping down their throat tell them that,
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean, like making making them feel
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: bloody worse. There's ways and means around it. And the
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: way I've seen the trend with my own clients is incredible,
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: is incredible. And the feet like, I always ask them
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: for feedback because I take it really seriously, and just
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: the words they say are just so lovely, like so lovely,
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: and I know I know, and I know it's coming
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: from a place of what they mean. You know, they're
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: always excited on a Sunday to get there to see
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: what's on their plans for the week, and that's nice.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: I love that energy. I'm all about energy, you know,
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: and keeping them motivated. And it keeps me in check too.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: That's you're improving as well, aren't you. You know, obviously
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: you've got your own fitness to do as well, but
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: you're you're still in the very sort of embryonic stages
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: of coaching, so it's very you know, you're still learning,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: you're still improving, you're still wanting to And I love
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: the fact you want feedback as well, because that can
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: be I know a lot of coaches who don't want
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of feedback and they just do the session
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: and they just kind of they go, oh, that'll do,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: you know, and I think they're worried.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: Why don't they want feedback? You know what I mean?
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: Because they know and theyve are conscious that they're just
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: whacking out plans and it won't probably look great, you know,
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: so they don't want that feedback. Whereas, yeah, I like
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: coms doing things and it's just me, you know, it's
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: just naturally how I am. Again, it's not a sales
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: I'm not a salesperson. I'm I'm not all about the
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: quantity or the quantity ever. That's what anything in my
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: life act, not just particularly this, it's just it's just
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: the type of person.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: I am yea, and that that will shine through and
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: your coaching as well. Yeah, the best are the people
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: who are authentic to themselves. So you aren't then changing
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: into being something that you know, if you're not a
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: very shouty person and then you become a shouty person
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: when you coach. It's not going to translate. No, not
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: at all, not at all, no, no, no, But it
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: sounds it sounds fantastic.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: Well you do it.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: It sounds brilliant. It looks as I've seen, you know,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: bits and pieces on on Instagram as well, and you
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: have little things from clients. They'll put up stories that
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: you share and all of this stuff and they swell
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: to be Yeah, well I.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: Love that, you know. Like one of my claims, like
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: starts her date and she lives such a busy lifestyle
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: every morning though she's out on that walk getting her
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: little start with her steps where her jobs, like my
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: dog is like love and her dog won't evenly won't
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: even leave her lay in bed anymore. She's like, I
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: have no choice. The dog is getting me up now
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: I might. That's amazing, you know, and I love to
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: see it. I love to see them excited to share
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: those things for themselves.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's lovely.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, Like you said, it's daily, daily habitual changes, isn't it.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: It's not just I'm going because I have to or
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: exactly and.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: Like just to you know, very quickly speak on the
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: nutrition side as well, like I'm a very plain leader myself,
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: so I have to change a lot of my own nutrition.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: But there is ways and means around everything. So one
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: of my clients really really struggled for her nutrition, and
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: she was like, you're I don't know if you're going
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: to be able to like put up with me because
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: I'm hard work with the whole food thing. And I'm like, honestly,
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: send me over what you eat and what you absolutely
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: won't eat, and you create some guidance. I'm not a nutritionist,
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: I'm not telling you eat this. You create some guidance.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: And now she's like, she's not one hundred percent there,
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: but she's eighty, Like she's bloody seventy percent there versus
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: being absolutely awful. Her sleep has improved, her energy is improved,
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: she's she's buzzing. And again, it's just like nobody expects
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: you to eat, to go from like eating whatever you
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: like to eating like bloody celery sticks. I'm definitely not
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: that coat, and there's ways and means around it. And
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: I know myself, I'm just being a really fussy plane
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: either and having a gut issue that like protein and
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: Mark was going to be absolutely his. It's just working
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: on what you have and thinking about how you can
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: make it work. You know, so nothing as nothing, as
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: ever not achievable. Are the words I like to use.
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: Is everything is bigger? Rosabal? Is it a word in
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: the dictionary?
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: I love that is now. I loved you absolutely.
