Empowered Health & Fitness - Kate Buckland Personal Trainer

Big news! I am offering rare personal training and pilates spaces during weekday lunch times (1pm to 2.30pm) or evenings until 4 August. Outdoor training or at your home. Get in touch if you're interested!

Wellness is NOT all about green smoothies, detoxing and looking a certain way.

Taking off again today with @flybe, back to Southampton after a weekend of work in Belfast. I’m grateful to have a job that allows me to visit different parts of the UK and Europe! I seem to fly with #Flybe rather a lot these days, though I don’t get to collect any of the Avios points! #flying #niceday #airport #belfast #ireland #goinghome #workingweekend #travel #cambrookeuk #nspku

Enjoying the sunshine in Belfast with a pre-dinner drink. I’m here for work for the next two nights with @cambrookeuk

I’m thinking about doing a series of short videos around pelvic floor strengthening, and possibly running an online course. It will be suitable for both women and men of any age who want to improve or work to prevent future issues with pelvic floor. Would anyone find this useful? Comment below!

Wowzers... I’ve felt like something needs to pop under my right scapula for a couple of weeks now. I finally decided to roll it out with my smiley face ball. It hurts like hell! I know it will be so much better tomorrow though 🙂 for a ball that looks so happy it sure packs a hell of a punch! On the definite upside though, I got the pop I was after!! #smr #selfmyofascialrelease #triggerpoint #scapular #myouchyface #traps #rhomboids #feelthepop

A good introduction if you’re thinking about trying a triathlon.

This is a brilliant course if you want to learn the basics of CrossFit in a friendly, no pressure environment.

This really did make me LOL. A supplement is not going to give you bugger, more toned glutes. This is a prime example of a company preying on women’s insecurities and it makes me SO MAD!!!

I’m a little sad to share with you all that I’m going to be winding down on my personal training business. My husband’s job has been moved to London, and because of his commute I will need to be at home with our children in the mornings and evenings. I only have space available to train after 9.30am on Friday mornings. I’m sad to be pulling back from training but it’s just for now, not forever. Thank you so much to my clients, who have been wonderfully kind and understanding.

Doesn’t this look good enough to eat? I have been having lots of issues with really dry skin and store bought moisturiser hasn’t been cutting it so I have created my own. It’s fluffy, rich and decadent, and has instantly soothes my very dry, very itchy skin. It’s quite greasy but I needed it! I have two jars of it so I think I’m sorted for a while 🙂 Its really simple and fun to make, too. The best bit though, is that I know exactly what’s in it and what I’m putting on my skin. It’s got Shea butter, coconut oil, avocado oil and a blend of essential oils I put together to make me feel good! #aromatherapy #skincare #homebeauty #organicbeauty #makeyourown #shea #coconut #moisturiser #imadethat #essentialoils #smellssogood #feelsevenbetter

These are pretty good reasons to hit the gym, though I hope I never have a reason to outrun the police...

Sometimes being alone for a while is the best medicine. A walk in the snow today was so relaxing and very much needed #nature #snow #birds #backtonature #selfcare #metime #eastleigh #eastleighlakeside

Any of my clients will tell you that a Pulseroll is 100% worth the money, and with this offer on at the moment who could resist? These are far more durable and versatile than cheaper versions, too. Great for sore, tight muscles, fascia release and use in your training regime to progress certain exercises and add a new challenge.

Clients - just a quick heads up that I'm in the process of updating my PT client terms and conditions, and I'll have something for you to sign in the next couple of weeks.
