REAL MEMBERS, REAL RESULTS!
Check out the amazing transformation of Oliver Bainbridge! After gaining a lot of weight, he knew he has to make a change. He decided to join JD Gyms and hire Personal Trainer, Ryan Melling, who immediately planned his exercise, nutrition and mind set to put him on the right path.
... The results are astounding, as he has lost a colossal 13 STONE since last January!
Last weekend, he competed in the Pure Elite Body Transformation contest. Whilst he narrowly missed out on the championship (he came a close 2nd), he’s still a winner in our eyes.
But Oliver’s not stopping there. He’s already back in training to compete in similar a contest next June. And this time he’s determined to come home a champion!
Everyone at JD Gyms wishes you the best of luck Oliver, you’ve done an amazing job!

At JD Gyms, we have functional areas and rigs. They are fast becoming the modern equivalent of the old multi-gym. They may look intimidating but are actually fairly simple to use. With a multitude of both attachments and accessories, they provide members with a wide variation of exercises, so that they can complete an entire workout in this one small area!
They also provide an area where knowledgeable personal trainers can take clients or groups through a variety of benefici...al and sometimes unusual exercises.
If you’re not sure how to do functional exercises, speak to one of our amazing personal trainers the next time you’re in the gym. . . . . #JDGyms #fitnessjustgotserious #gym #fitness #battleropes #functionaltraining #FitFam #FitLife #fitspo #functional #training #Fitness #GymLife #PersonalTrainer #Weights #Workout #strong #strength #lift #strong #shredded #getfit #dedication #instafit #jdpt

Can you have desserts without ruining your diet? At JD Gyms, we think we have the solution! Here’s our recipe for protein pumpkin pie!
• 2 Large Eggs • 1 ½ cup Non-fat Plain Greek Yogurt • 15oz Pumpkin... • 6 scoops Whey Protein Powder • 2 tbsp. Pumpkin Pie Spice • Sweetener (optional) • Maple Syrup and Whipped Topping (optional) . 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees 2. Spray a pie dish with non-stick spray 3. Add all ingredients of a bowl and mix well 4. Place an oven safe dish full of water on rack below where pie will go (this prevents cracking on the top of the pie) 5. Pour mixture into dish and bake for 45-50 minutes or until just set 6. Mixture will seem soft at first. Place in refrigerator to set for 4-6 hours or preferably, overnight. 7. Top with a drizzle of fresh maple syrup or whipped cream (we prefer without).

Strong glute muscles are extremely important as these muscles can have a major impact on your overall body strength. Your glutes support your core, help to support a range of exercises, and help avoid muscle imbalances which can lead to decreased mobility.

It’s important to eat healthily with the right mix of protein, fats and low glycaemic carbs. But what if you’re a vegetarian and you cannot consume meat? Here at JD Gyms we’ve got an idea for you; a high protein Mediterranean three-bean salad!
Ingredients:... • ½ pound (225g) green beans, trimmed and snapped into 2-inch pieces • 15-ounce (425g) can of chickpeas (or garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed • 15-ounce (425g) can of red kidney beans, drained and rinsed • 1 cucumber, sliced (about 3/4 cup chopped, 110g) • 1 cup (about 12g to 15g) loosely packed parsley leaves, chopped • 1/4 cup (35g) feta cheese • 1/3 cup (55g) olives, sliced in half • 3/4 cup (100g) diced tomatoes
Combine these ingredients in a bowl (which will take you about 5 minutes) for a high protein vegetarian meal. You can add vinaigrette to taste if you want to. This serves four, so you can pre-prepare these for post workout lunches!

REAL MEMBERS, REAL RESULTS!
JD Gyms member, Kat Solway started out as just a regular gym member. After noticing some really good results from attending regular BodyPump classes, she decided to take weight training more seriously.
For the last 18 months, she has worked towards going on stage as a bikini competitor.

Life can sometimes be hectic, and finding time to prepare meals can be difficult. So here’s a quick and easy meal prep idea; tacos meal bowls!
Combine equal amounts of cooked ground beef, black beans, sweetcorn, brown rice, tomatoes and coriander for a delicious and nutritious meal. Add a taco shell if you want extra carbs, but we think it's fine as it is.
If you don’t like one of the ingredients, you can always substitute it for something similar. ... It’ll take you about 5 minutes to prepare, and you can always make these meals in advance. Healthy food that’s easy to prepare – there’s no excuses!
