Samcourton - Sports Therapist

I’m loving this from @dr.caleb.burgess and I’m currently swinging from comfort zone to learning zone with my work and growth will come from that, however the fear zone is my place of day to day life, when it comes to singing in public, social/human connection in real time and this diagram is so cool to help me and YOU to prioritise your path! It’s so clear and interesting, there are definitely areas that need to start, stop! #personaldevelopment #personaltrainer #journey #comfortzone #jobsatisfaction #daytoday #dailyroutine #growth #happiness #safety #unknown #priorities

So this is happening - 12 wk programme (once a week) from the 14th May. 9.30am - 10.30am. I have collaborated with One Ilfracombe and Activedevon WeCan to bring this FREE sessions - please read details!!

With all shapes and sizes, makes and designs,high instep, fallen arches, this personally IS a big help to me. Leisure trainers needed the wide foot lace, however my @karrimor_uk trainers need the narrow lace for slightly more support (right foot). Takes literally a minute and the difference is noticeable instantly. So if you do struggle with your footwear - for any reason - then look at these lacing up options. #running #walking #feet #support #laces #selfhelp #practical #narrowfeet #widefeet #fallenarches

If there is a particular style of training or an approach you would like to explore - send me a message and we’ll plan a program for you!!

When you finish a particularly rewarding session and then step out for a walk with your dog. This is what I love, well one of many things, but do you see what I see, feel what I feel and understand why I love being #outdoors #nature #senseoffreedom
#ilfracombe in #northdevon - stunning place you are. My place of freedom.

If you haven’t done this, you should - if you didn’t know, now you do and if you’re not sure, hey, it’s a gorgeous day to be apart of! @ilfracomberunningclub

A sequence of movements to engage your muscles, wake up the body, increase your cardio, improve balance and strengthen your posture. https://youtu.be/Jv9oUkFDcGs Try it, like it, share it! Ilfracombe Pilot Gig Club LoveIlfracombe One Ilfracombe

Maybe I shouldn’t start filming a new sequence for everyday posture improvements just before a client - however do look out for my new topic video on how you can improve your posture and energise your body ready for your working day or any day for that manner! #excitingtimes #posture #video #sequence #motivation #selfhelp #movement #alignment

Had my interview with Petroc on Friday (just gone) - I’ll be starting my L3/then 4 course for Sports Massage in September. It’s the next step.

Two workshops in the bag with @ilfracombe_pilot_gig_club DO YOU WANT TO MOVE BETTER?!?! Know what is occurring and how you can improve your physical abilities? Contact me, I’m local to #Ilfracombe, #northdevon - I love to #explore #teach and #help you to be the best version of you. It’s in a relaxed environment and it’s fun!! Get in touch and let’s DO IT!!!

With the up and coming #worldchampionships for #pilotgigrowing in the #scilles this coming weekend - these guys @ilfracombe_pilot_gig_club attended yet another workshop session to ensure their personal maintenance, #bodyawareness and maximum #performance is on point. Contents covered - #muscularrelease (quadriceps, back / top to bottom, latissimus dorsi and glutes) That was fun(ny) #mobility and #range #cardio #strengthandconditioning (#upperbody #core and legs #squats and #lunges ) Weaknesses and what we can do about it and #stretching / #flexibility - the added bonus was #playing with #handstands (guided and supported). Thank you @mrskarisfrost for coordinating the set up of this. I‚Äôm so pleased with the results and let‚Äôs have a great week!! Boom ūüí•

After a particularly structured session this morning A 3 stage warm up, which was done twice, One round of a very diverse circuit and then specific musculature stretches for posture and pelvic behaviour - I always reflect on how it went, the progressive nature of each exercise and how I catered for the individual.
I love what I do and I’m thankful to the people that trust in me

An amazing session this morning with my Susan - my longest client, one of my most focused clients and she has the ultimate reason to be focused and committed with the up and coming world championships for #gigpilotrowing in the #scilles - her journey has been amazing - covering #mobility #movement patterns - re-education of #muscular balancing #cardio #coreexercises and a tremendous transformation with #weightloss Well done this morning! Truly inspiring

Are you an Early Doors Trainer? Do you prefer the morning to workout? I’m placing my first order for Training T-shirts and hoodies (Black or Hot Pink) - logo on front, badge on arm and smaller logo on upper back, with optional nickname. Vests will be soon......... contact for prices. Delivery price will be discussed. A free top is going to the creative @mrskarisfrost for her contributions to design!

This is where my man Ajay is with his physical AND mental ability. #running #cardio #stamina #endurance #perserverance. This was his final round of hill reps this morning. 45 mins of progressively increased pace, distance and angles. With push ups in between, varying in numbers to ensure his body position and quality. I could not be more proud of him (last May 21.7st) Presently at 15.11st - is it any easier for him - hell no!! But he is in contact with me, he has his family a...round him and he is not looking for a quick fix, he is changing in his mindset (positivity, being present, emotional regulation) life presents day to day challenges and it’s our responsibility to react, adapt and use our nearest and dearest to help us! Have we got all the aspect of this down to a high level of perfection, No! Why? Because as I said above, we are tested - tired, stressed, emotional, finances can restrict our choices. But please be realistic with your approach, be kind to yourself. You’ve got this!!! #motivation #life #family #effort #focus #feeltheforce #bekindtoyourself

Same at #woolacombedunesparkrun and when he‚Äôs rowing with @ilfracombe_pilot_gig_club I get great feedback from him each time, this allows me to bring the standard each time and I know what my peeps need with their specific training goals.

Go and have a go and then come and train with me!! Lucky you!!! ūü§£

Reflecting on a great week gone and I’m gearing up for another - enquiry made on prices for new training tops and hoodies for the Early Doors Training Group - excited about that and I got a cheeky interview with Devon Live the day after I got my new tops. Timing was perfect at @slimmeria #northdevon - happy days.

We spent five days with Sam. I hate going to gym because I get bored but Sam made our sessions interesting. He also explained all the moves and what they do to our bodies. I am so impressed with his knowledge and ability to teach/motivate. The only downside is, I live nearly 6 hours away and can't attend his sessions . Sam set the bar so high up, I know I will compare every other instructor to him . As he is one of the best in his game, it will be difficult to find someone like him.

Sam is the best PT IŌĆÖve dealt with to date. HeŌĆÖs knowledgable and tailors exercises to your needs and abilities without being pushy or judgmental (like a few PTŌĆÖs IŌĆÖve met in the past!). I love that he focuses on biomechanics and takes the time to explain why youŌĆÖre doing a particular exercise and how itŌĆÖll help you. I spent the week being trained by Sam @ Slimmeria in North Devon,and feel stronger and more flexible as a result. The only downside is that heŌĆÖs based in Devon and not London but such is life ’┐Į Top guy! ’┐Į’┐Į’┐Į

I've been attending Sam's classes for a few weeks at Air Extreme with my friend, and he has been absolutely fantastic. He always sneaks a few new moves in to each session to keep us motivated, and tailors the session to all abilities of fitness. We have been so impressed with Sam's coaching that we are also going to have some PT sessions with him. Sam is really patient and friendly with a great positive energy. I would really recommend him to anyone looking to feel inspired to increase their fitness. Thank you Sam ’┐Į

I had my first Devon class with Sam on 10th September 2016 and I absolutely loved it! I'm more of a distance runner so it was a refreshing change to challenge my fitness in a different way! And on Croyde beach! I have known Sam for ten years which is ample time for me to observe him build his character, brand and reputation. I recommend him.
