Ash Holme Personal Training Dundee Description
I was a very small, slight teenager. I had a love for sport but a physicality that lacked that of my peers. But I had one thing in buckets, discipline. So where my body lacked, I dedicated myself to learning and perfecting form and function. If I couldn't compete on a physical level, I would have the best technique and the hardest work ethic. This paid dividends and I represented my school in over 10 sports.
I took this desire to be the best at whatever I put my mind to and focussed it on becoming a soldier. The Royal Marines were the perfect fit. They didn't care if you were short and skinny, if you gave it everything you had, every time. So at 17 I joined, as the youngest in my troop, and 8 months later I became a Royal Marines Commando.
During this training, I learned how the mind tells the body to quit a long time before the body needs to stop. I learned the body lasts longer and performs better when the form and technique are constantly analysed and improved upon.
Having now left the Royal Marines to pursue a different career, I've taken the lessons and mindset developed and have applied them to the passion that started all those years ago, the pursuit of physical and technical excellence.
Reviews
Well this has been long overdue, but I want to highlight what a change this young woman achieved in our time together. As much mental as physical. # Lou came to me lacking self confidence or belief, but already on her way to losing weight. She wanted more guidance with weightlifting and to use my experience from being a Royal Marine Commando to prepare her for a summer of obstacle courses. # Fast forward to the present and what a difference she has made. From 76kgs to 60kgs, ...dropping to a life low size 8 in almost all clothes shops. Her form and technique are near flawless in all the lifts we developed and above all, her work ethic has gone through the roof. The most consistently hard working person in Bootcamp for the months she was able to attend. # How you might ask? Consistently getting the basics right. She stuck to her calories, prepared meals in advance, maintained her step count, employed sleep hygiene methods, used stress management methods. Nothing special and nothing crazy. The basics done well. # Thank you for giving me the opportunity to train you @foxxfitt it'll be hard to fill the space you have left. @ PureGym Dundee

A wee client spotlight for my wee Auntie @kyalllackie
This guys transformation has been humbling, and I'm not just talking about his body. His whole outlook on health and fitness has changed so much in the last 6 months, it is astounding.
In our consultation, we spoke a lot about lifestyle and nutrition and to Kyall's surprise (and a certain amount of skepticism I'm sure he would admit) I told him we absolutely would not be fuelling him with nothing but brown rice, grilled c...hicken and steamed veg.
An unsustainable diet, is a useless diet. Instead, we would be making some very small changes that would have a big impact in the long run. The analogy I like to use is changing a ships course by 5 degrees doesn't seem like much to begin with. But give it a week, a month, a year and see how much of a difference that 5 degrees can make. A relentless pursuit of small goals as opposed to fixating on the end game.
So chilli con carne, fajitas, some guilty pleasures such as fizzy juice and ice cream, would all be on the menu. Home made, from scratch, in one pan and in bulk where possible.
Eating delicious, nutritious, wholesome meals set to a slight caloric deficit. Nothing crazy or magical, just a sustainable calorie deficit and Kyall lost an incredible 10.2kgs, that's 1 stone 8.5 pounds for the imperial amongst you.
A massive well done to you mate, couldn't be more proud of you and I'm so excited for us to set some new fitness goals for the summer!
If you'd like to come on board with me as your trainer/coach/part time therapist 😂 just get in touch.

Listen to this. Our perception of what fitness is, is totally skewed by an obsession with the media.
Your only comparison, should be with where you were yesterday/last week/last month.
It only comes once a year so don't be afraid to relax a little, just don't cone to a complete stop. A nice Christmas Day walk after the monster Christmas Dinner perhaps...
I won't be taking tonight's bootcamp at PureGym Dundee ☹ but expect all my regulars to show Steve Fitchet that you're the hardest working class around!
Help him set up as normal, no pulling faces or complaining. Do me proud.
A drop in the ocean of the Phys done on bottom field when training to become a Royal Marine. But like the PTI said at the end, it is as much about developing your mind as it is your body.
I can't replicate these conditions but I can replicate the level of exertion.
That is what we do every Monday and Thursday 7:15pm at Bootcamp Pure Gym Dundee.
... See you there. Don't make stupid noises 😂

When a client starts to faulter, starts to let doubt creep in, I remind them that they are far more capable than they can even yet imagine.
"How do you know that? How can you be so sure?"
"Because I was just like you once, I didn't know what I could do, until I was pushed."

After only 2 weeks together, but a hell of a lot of work and effort, Lou Elizabeth has dropped another 1.5 inches off her waist! And amazing effort in no small part down to her consistency to a moderate calorie deficit and sticking to the training plan!
Huge well done, superstar!
New client and commonwealth water polo player Lou Elizabeth training for Super Spartan at the end of summer.
Modified version of a man maker, box jump, 5 x burpees, box jump. 5 times, 90 second rest, 3 sets. Great/disgusting way to finish a session, but she smashed it!
After only 4 sessions together, 4 weeks of hard training and all whilst still enjoying weekends of guilty pleasures! Rebecca Laxy has done amazingly well. She has lost 4.9kg (almost 11lbs) in weight, 1.5 inched of her hips and 3 inches off her waist!
I am so proud of her commitment and hard work!
For anyone looking to lose fat, gain muscle or a bit of both, in time for summer, send me a message and lets get started.
The client base is filling up! I only have room to take on 3 more client sessions per week until the end of May!
WOW - 600 likes! Thank you everyone for spreading the word.
From a 16 year old, 6 months of no clue how to train, to my first professional photographs after a break up, to my first time on stage.
Everyone has their own journey of fitness. Their own reasons and motivations. Mine were based around being a shy teen, no self-confidence and deciding the one thing I could control, was my physique.
What I learnt in the gym, the discipline and hard work, took me into the Royal Marines and eventually, out onto the stage.
... It's a lifelong journey and I want to be a part of yours.
