Connor Kelly Engineered Fitness

First session of 2019 underway! 🙌
Going to the gym, whether it be returning or starting out, can feel pretty daunting. I know, I've been there. As has most of the gym users you see.
Having a partner/gym buddy can help boost motivation in the gym and help you settle those nerves. That's why for the remainder of January AND February I'm running a 2 for 1 offer. Bring along a friend/partner/work colleague/family member to take part and only pay for one.
... DM for info or register your interest 💪

What a year it's been.
Met some incredible people in 2018 and helped to show them that they're capable of doing amazing things.
It's been a huge learning curve for myself and I can't thank everyone enough for all the support and encouragement.
... Looking forward to the challenges 2019 has in store.
To everyone, my clients especially, thank you.
Happy New Year X

Another early morning session in the bag.
Little bit of client appreciation - Kirsteen coming off a tough night shift straight to the gym for a session with myself. Didn't make it easy on her but she pushed through to get one step closer to her goal.
Going from strength to strength, a fully converted burpee lover, always digging deep and always progressing 💪
... Keep up the hard work!

Tell you what, nothing more satisfying than seeing past clients take fitness in their own stride.
Pawel has been mentioned a few times before, but he is a prime example of what you can achieve with a bit of determination and self discipline.
3 stone lost in as little as 3 months and still improving. Keep it up!!
... If you're interested in one to one personal training and looking to make a similar transformation as Pawel here, send us a DM :D

There are some things you wake up to that just put a smile on your face.
I've posted about @thedoghouseinverness bar manager, Pawel, before but this is something else 😱.
I started with Pawel 8weeks ago and had him doing 2 sessions per week for 2-3 weeks at @forgegyminverness. Since then he has been running almost every day, challenging the bar staff to games of badminton, eating healthy, using his own home equipment and has taken up yoga..just to name a few.
... On the left is Pawel on day one of his journey. On the right is him on week 8, and the difference is night and day.
Keep it up! 💪
Interested? Send a DM for info on one to one sessions with myself 😁

David here has only been at @forgegyminverness for a couple of months and has seen major progress since he joined.
He's overcome health issues and continues to smash it out in the gym almost every day. He started out wearing 2XL t-shirts not too long ago and is nearly down to a Medium.
David set some goals with me when he first joined, that he wanted to lift 100kg in the deadlift by the end of the year. He's only went and exceeded that, lifting 105kg (well...more 110kg), whi...ch is amazing!
David is forging his own path, improving every day he turns up to the gym. I'm merely just nudging him in the right direction.
Keep up the amazing work, David!

@thedoghouseinverness bar manager, Pawel, has only been training with me for 4 sessions and is already seeing massive changes.
I know 4 sessions doesn't sound like much, however its managed to kick start that fitness bug and now he's running regularly and making use of the nutrition advice he's been given.
His main goal was to "lose the belly" and you can see he's well on his way to achieving that. Not only that, but he's also gaining more definition in the shoulders and b...ack helping to improve his posture also.
Now that's the face of a happy man.
Keep up the good work! 💪

Haven't seen anyone use the rings in the gym yet, so thought I'd show them some love.
Throwback to the old gymnastics days 😎
Don't let your body get used to a certain way of training. Change it up.
... The good stuff comes through hard work, so get out there!
So many toys at @forgegyminverness to take you above and beyond what you thought you could achieve 💪

Mother and daughter - the dynamic duo - out for what they thought would be a brisk walk.....until I came along!
Age is just a number at the end of the day. Your body may change physically but it doesn't mean that's the end of the road and all you have to look forward to are Zimmer frames and cruising about the city centre in a pimped out scooter.
Take exercise in stages. When something gets easier, make it harder. Adapt to the environment and make use of what you have aroun...d you.
My mum just took her first step on her fitness journey and proved to herself that she can do more than she thought (with a little encouragement) and has really done herself proud.
The only way is up from here.

'The first step is always the hardest, but with a little persistence and determination you will always succeed!' 💪🏼
Are you unhappy & want to change the way your body looks and feels but the only thing putting you off from starting is the fear of going to the gym? A fear of not knowing what exercises to do, or how to do them correctly, or how to use the machinery and weights properly, or even a fear of people judging you because of all of those things?? Don't worry you're no...t crazy, it is actually a more common fear than you may think..
But Relax I've got your back 🧘🏽‍♀️... I offer at home training sessions that include the same amount of work, effort and love put in to each workout & tailored to your body for the results you want to achieve! Only difference?? It's in a more comfortable, familiar environment that you enjoy!
What are you waiting for?? Send a "Lets Do This!" message to get started! 👊🏼
If you're still a little bit skeptic?? Here's today's newest client who only survived 10mins of her first 1hr session. Erin hasn't worked out properly in a few years, but really pushed herself as far as she could handle & this was the result. Always remember, 1st days are the toughest but the end goal is worth it! 😁👊🏼🏋🏻‍♂️

Happy Friday!! Here's a bit of weekend motivation for you all! 'Believe you can and you're halfway there' - Theodore Roosevelt.
Some wise words to live by. When it comes to training or achieving any goal you may have, half the battle is in your head. Keep a positive mindset and always tell yourself you can, because eventually you will. 🙌😁
... Another successful week in the books! Clients are making huge progress and I'm excited to get started on next week's sessions. It's going to be a fun one! 🏋️‍♂️
If you're interested & want to get involved in a One to One Personal training session for next week, just comment, Dm, or call for more info! 😁

Ok so I just want to make this clear, I hate taking photos of myself. However I decided to bite the bullet and see just how much I've progressed.
-
So the charming photo on the left was me just a few months ago. I did work out but I didn't have much of a goal, so I was just floating about...like A ship without a sail.
... -
On the right is me today after my leg and shoulder session. And I must admit...not looking too shabby 😂 Still got a long way to go, but the progress is there.
-
Hard work, discipline and a bit of patience is all you need to achieve whatever it is you want from life. So put one foot in front of the other and keep pushing forward 💪

I set myself a goal 2 months ago that I would lift 200kg by the time I turned 25. No fancy shoes, no straps, no belt. Just me and the bar. Since then it's been one injury after the next and set back after set back. However, the grit and determination every one of my clients has shown since I started personal training has been inspirational. So I decided not to be a lil bitch about it and got the job done. Thank you to everyone who has supported me and pushed me to be better. I hope I can do the same for you.

Yesterday's sprint session. First in a long time so feeling a little tender today to say the least. -
It always feels like a long road to recovery when you're injured. You feel like you're missing out on a lot and everything you've worked hard to gain is gone. -
But I've learned from past mistakes (people who know me well will remember) that you should ALWAYS take time to recover. It might feel like a lifetime but with smart training and a positive mindset, anything is achievable.

Another Thursday morning, another session at @forgegyminverness. Only this time it's the last session of my client, Craig's, 10week program.
-
You can clearly see he's come a long way. On the left was an early doors wk2/3 deadlift of 110kg. Over time he's gone from strength to strength managing to achieve a new PB this morning of 167kg for 1rep. Going full BEAST mode 💪
... -
Not only that, but he surprised me with a thank you card and gift voucher at the end....after his brutal final circuit, which I really appreciate. Keep up the good work, Craig!
Thank you again.

Some of the best moments as a personal trainer is seeing your clients progress and look back on how far they've come.
Craig is on week 9 of his 10 week program and this is the state of his belt. He has had to drop down 3/4 holes on his belt and he's now had to make a new hole (far left). At this rate he'll need new jeans 😂💪
Craig is a grafter and always puts in 110% with his sessions and has already seen some incredible results.
... How much progress can you make in 10 weeks?😉
