1:49
gym class facility so we'll teach like
1:52
50 people in a red room
1:54
you've not heard of it it's mad it's
1:56
absolutely nuts
1:57
if you've not been you need to get to
1:59
manchester or to london
2:01
and it's known for like having like a
2:03
lot of
2:04
celebrities in there so you don't know
2:06
who's kind of gonna turn up but that's
2:08
not like the
2:09
the main part you get the unbelievable
2:11
community
2:12
training hard together treadmills
2:14
dumbbells
2:15
big tunes going off it's nuts it's not
2:18
so
2:18
i'm gonna go teach two classes that will
2:21
definitely wake me up
2:22
and then i'm gonna get back to you
2:30
so um yeah a little walk and now we are
2:32
chilling before
2:33
everyone arrives at the boot camp in
2:35
there is the red room
2:36
um which i'll take you in in a minute
2:38
i'm just going to explain a little bit
2:39
more about what it is because
2:41
some people don't know about it it's a
2:42
massive worldwide brand barry's now but
2:44
it's a high intensity there's 25
2:47
treadmills under 25
2:48
benches and you can burn up to like a
2:50
thousand calories in an hour it's pretty
2:51
intense if you
2:52
if you want it to be and any um any
2:55
ability is welcome but
2:56
it can be pretty intense if you push it
2:58
there's 50 people in a class
2:59
and the atmosphere is crazy in about 15
3:02
15 minutes everyone's gonna arrive we're
3:04
gonna come through i'm just behind where
3:06
we're making shapes at the moment you
3:07
get all nice shakes after it's gonna be
3:09
in there i'm all mic'd up
3:10
it was uh it was a bit of a weird a hard
3:12
experience kind of becoming a trainer
3:14
with barry so
3:15
you get chosen so they come and find you
3:17
to be a being instructor buyers which is
3:19
a bit crazy
3:19
if you get picked to be about his
3:20
instructor you kind of accept it i've
3:22
always been a patient on my life
3:24
and but this is kind of pretty much
3:26
pinnacle of being a trainer oh i
3:28
accepted it we went down to london
3:30
and in london there's five uh there's
3:31
five boot camps in manchester we're the
3:33
first one in the north
3:34
they made us stay in this house for two
3:36
weeks it was like sas
3:38
training and to kind of deceive you good
3:40
enough to do it and
3:41
then push you and broke you down there
3:43
was tears there was sweat
3:45
and then eventually uh we can became
3:47
trainers at various boot camps so i've
3:48
done this for about
3:50
two years now and it's perfect blend
3:52
between
3:53
online coaching where i'm sat down and
3:54
chilling and you know
3:56
taking my time quiet and in here it's a
3:59
total opposite
4:00
i'll probably burn them probably 200
4:02
calories as well as um
4:04
the clients who are pushing themselves
4:06
obviously i'm just teaching it can't
4:07
wait to show you inside i'm going to try
4:09
and film a little bit of the session i'm
4:10
going to try and sneak this camera in
4:12
there
4:12
and then guys if you want to try it get
4:14
involved known as the best workout in
4:16
the world
4:17
and uh and it definitely stands up to
4:20
its name okay
4:20
let's take you inside
4:31
[Music]
4:34
15 seconds right now
4:42
[Music]
4:55
oh session done
4:58
first session done wow uh energy in this
5:00
room sorry shut that down this is how
5:02
loud it goes
5:06
all right so we're uh the cleavers are
5:08
straight in if you can hear me right now
5:10
so the cleaners are straight in
5:11
obviously it's a culvert at the moment
5:13
so we've got like a quick change around
5:14
we've got like
5:15
10 minutes 50 people in the class quick
5:18
change over and then we go again
5:19
within 10 minutes that was huge and now
5:22
i'm
5:22
really waking up but it was good the
5:25
energy's high so
5:26
today is as i said hell week um so
5:28
everyone's just kind of
5:29
fully committed and just trying to push
5:31
it and obviously sprinting as fast as
5:33
you can
5:33
lifting as heavy as you can and it's
5:35
hard to explain the atmosphere
5:37
but it's electric so i'm going to calm
5:39
down i'm going to kind of give my
5:41
voice a little rest i'm going to kind of
5:43
get a little drink and then just kind of
5:44
reset a few things
5:45
and then go again and wait for the next
5:47
group to come in massive vibes in
5:48
manchester at the moment so get yourself
5:50
involved
5:51
so the class was amazing i'm just kind
5:53
of bringing myself down now a little bit
5:55
a little coffee shop
5:56
so we've got a laptop we've got coffee
5:59
and it takes you about half an hour just
6:02
for adrenaline to come down after being
6:03
in that studio which is amazing i've got
6:05
another class tonight but then
6:07
whilst i'm still awake whilst this
6:08
capping is going to hit me i'm going to
6:10
get gym workout i always spend about
6:12
20 minutes after the class just to speak
6:15
to a few online clients which i'm going
6:16
to
6:16
speak more about later on just have a
6:18
little breather uh plan the session in
6:20
the gym
6:20
and i'm gonna film some stuff in the gym
6:22
on here let's do it so we are in
6:24
the gym we're gonna go basics today a
6:26
little basic so
6:27
i want to get my strength back up on you
6:29

6:33
bits at the end where you get a big pump
6:34
on so here we go strict press
6:36
superset into chins
6:47
[Music]
6:58
so um done all the the heavy stuff now
7:02
onto some bars trying things out i'm not
7:05
too bothered
7:05
and when it comes to the high rep stuff
7:08
um i just want to
7:10
you know get a pump on get a squeeze on
7:12
get some burnout going
7:14
um as the session progresses so heavy at
7:16
the start and then light as we work as
7:18
we work on
7:19
and but the first two of the exercises
7:21
are always going to be the ones that i
7:22
want to see
7:23
aggressive overload on but at the end of
7:26
session
7:26
just about having a bit of fun it's got
7:28
some seated shoulder press
7:30
uh smith style
7:45
[Music]
7:48
right so workout done feeling good and
7:51
i'm going to get some
7:52
recovery food in me and now just like
7:55
i've made
7:56
earlier check this out all my days
8:00
on my days brighton now last time we
8:02
spoke it was like 5 a.m
8:04
now this is what it's about
8:07
so after my initial kind of barrage work
8:10
and
8:10
just sorting me out a little bit and
8:13
what i am is an online coach so i coach
8:16
uh guys around the world um to get you
8:19
know leaner fitter stronger happier more
8:21
confident
8:21
so i will spend the afternoon uh
8:23
touching base and doing check-ins with
8:25
them
8:26
making sure that we're making progress
8:28
and i'm all after
8:29
transformation so i want them to you
8:31
know obviously feel amazing but but i
8:33
want them to get like a fitness model
8:34
look as well
8:35
and if you've got me instagram you might
8:36
be able to see some transformations that
8:38
i've done
8:38
what i do is i will either call them or
8:40
voice note them and just kind of make
8:42
sure that all their issues
8:43
are being sorted out i'm also currently
8:45
running like an eight-week group program
8:47
so the group program is a bit more fun
8:49
and there's guys around the world
8:50
competing
8:51
and to try and get in these top top
8:53
shapes so there's a lot going on at the
8:55
moment
8:56
and i spend like three or four hours a
8:57
day just focusing on them boys and
9:00
making sure
9:00
that basically everyone's happy which is
9:02
what it's all about but
9:04
why i'm talking about clients and
9:06
routine and structure
9:08
is because that's what kind of i'm all
9:10
about you've seen my day so far you've
9:11
seen how i
9:12
plan it out like this and then later on
9:14
tonight uh i play semi-professional
9:16
football i did play in like a
9:18
professional league last year
9:19
but things have just got so busy
9:21
business wise i'm now bringing it down a
9:22
little step
9:23
and i just want to create more time to
9:25
improve
9:26
business to do more stuff like this and
9:28
just to help more people later on
9:29
tonight i've got a football training
9:31
and then i'll be back in the morning in
9:32
batteries at 6am and that's pretty much
9:35
what i do
9:36
uh each day and i wouldn't be able to
9:38
fit as much in if i did not have this
9:39
basic structure with clients
9:41
um especially i make sure they've got a
9:43
routine
9:44
so when you guys have been in lockdown
9:46
or when we've been locked down
9:47
um routine has been pretty key people
9:50
have been like
9:51
having mental health issues if they've
9:52
not been in this structured routine
9:54
which has helped them so when you're out
9:57
of lockdown now
9:58
don't forget about the basics that work
9:59
don't forget about the
10:01
you know the morning walks and the
10:03
podcasts the
10:04
the simple things in life that make you
10:06
healthier the sleep
10:08
um you know spending time with your
10:09
loved ones all this stuff is so so so
10:11
key
10:12
even when we talk about fat loss
10:14
transformations it's key
10:15
that you do these basics at the bottom
10:17
point and then everything else will just
10:19
take care of itself especially when you
10:21
go back to gyms don't just go and do you
10:22
know another
10:24
three or four years of bad training and
10:26
focus on doing the right things in the
10:28
gym
10:28
and structure your programs don't just
10:30
go and you know
10:32
having to have a half-assed attempt at
10:34
doing an upper body session when you
10:35
could do a focus four or five days split
10:37
and it's gonna get much better results
10:38
that's one thing that i wanted to
10:40
take out of out of all this video is
10:43
just make sure that you're you know
10:44
you know what you're doing you know what
10:45
you want you know what you want to
10:46
achieve in goals whether it's
10:48
you know body goals or whether it's
10:50
business goals or whether it's life
10:51
goals and then keep a routine or build a
10:53
routine into your life that you
10:55
love i might be good at the start but
10:58
over time build this routine into your
10:59
life
11:00
hope you enjoyed the day in my life it's
11:03
pretty simple day to day at the weekends
11:05
we've got the games on football sundays
11:07
i work and then i chill a little bit but
11:09
at the moment things are busy things are
11:10
good and i'm focusing on
11:12
all the areas that i love so guys hope
