Got a 14 or 15 year old who wants to learn how to train properly? Get them to join us on a Monday and Wednesday. Each session will focus on movement, strength & conditioning, flexibility and motor skills development. Message us for more details.

Sorry for the lack of posts recently. We’ve been a little busy following the early arrival of our baby daughter. Movement Monday will start again soon. Let me know how you’ve got on with the last sequence!

Feeling stiff after being stuck behind a desk all day? We believe that believe that being able to move well is as important as being strong, plus it makes you feel great. Everyday this week give yourself ten miunutes to do this sequence 2 to 3 times. Let us know how you get on in the comments below. 5 x each Cat/Camel 10 x each side 90/90 rockover 5 x each side Spiderman with reach

When it comes to training we know that most people feel like you aren’t achieving anything unless you are killing yourself at every session. We believe that you actually need to train smarter, not harder, to hit those goals. Speak to us today on how we can help you get moving in 2018.

Interesting article from the New York Times regarding brain trauma in NFL. It will be interesting if this is expanded into other sports.

Great article on Superagers. You are never too old to stay active. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-42256225

Good to see a project like this in Sheffield. Pretty sure you are going to get a good workout on one of these tackling our hills 😂 https://www.thestar.co.uk/…/dockless-bi ke-scheme-launches-i…

We are on Instagram! Give us a follow https://www.instagram.com/bencobleypt/

Coming soon... move better in just one month with our weekly videos.

A question I get asked a lot. This article explains it quite well.

Many of you know that Vic was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. As an educated person she was shocked at how ignorant she had been to what goes into food, especially when out and about.
She will be the first to tell you that the first two weeks of a heavily restricted diet (unfortunately she is more sensitive to carbs and sugar than most) she experienced a sugar come down, which was hard. She has been following her diet for over a month and her whole outlook on food has c...hanged, and she says she probably will continue to be more aware of what she eats even when the diabetes goes.
It's something we can all think about. Next time you grab that fruit bread in Starbucks (455kcal and 79.5g carbs) and a tall latte (143kcal) maybe think what else you are going to eat that day, and how many of those you have had in a week.
This is an interesting article about diabetes in India https://www.nytimes.com/…/he…/india-d iabetes-junk-food.html…

Thanks for the present Koshinkan Karate Association!

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone who has trained with me this year. You all work so hard and I’m honoured to train you all. See you in 2018 - let’s hope it’s an even stronger one!

Because being able to move is just as important as being strong. With most of us working behind a desk, movement exercise helps with every day tasks, as well as playing sport.

Great article from the Fit4Physio guys on Marathon overtraining. Moderation seems to be a theme at the moment! http://www.fit4-physio.co.uk/b…/avoid-m arathon-overtraining/

Interesting article on holding back in December.Remember everything in moderation for a healthier, yet enjoyable life. https://www.theguardian.com/…/ho-ho-hol d-back-why-you-shoul…

They are banned in the gym. Energy should come from a healthy balanced diet, not chemicals mixed together in a factory http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-42298192

Really great article on ACL recovery from The New York Times. Grab a coffee as it is a long one, but worth it.

Only two weeks to go! Already done quite a few Christmas vouchers this year. Stuck for a gift idea...then personal training is perfect. Whether it’s to burn off those extra mince pies, getting ready to hit the slopes for the upcoming season, or just because they love it. Get in touch today. All vouchers are fully personalised so it can be for one session or 50, it’s up to you.

I've been a constant client of Ben for more than five years now, and still enjoy every session with him. He's got a knack to know when I need to slow down and when to push me hard to the limit. He also has the uncanny ability to know which part of my body that needs working. He always puts good posture and form the priority. Over the period of five years, obviously I have had my ups and downs, but in general, I can definitely say that I am getting stronger and fitter.

I moved to Sheffield just over 4 years ago and started working out with Ben almost immediately. I have a job that ties me to a desk, a classroom or an aeroplane taking me somewhere overseas so it's sometimes hard to get into that fitness routine I used to have - and let's face it, I'm not as sporty as I was in my teens and 20s.. Working out with Ben has been BRILLIANT. Each session seems to be very tailor made around my fitness ability, goals and priorities, and it always always leaves me feeling energised for the week ahead. Ben very kindly manages to fit my sessions in around my crazy travel schedule (thanks Ben!!) which is also great. I cannot recommend training with Ben enough!! Well worth every penny and more!

Despite our early starts Ben is always buzzing. Having experienced other PT's, Ben is the best by far. His knowledge and experience is obvious as he builds a program based around your body and his attention to detail in posture gives you those light bulb moments where you realise what muscles you have/should be working! Happy to recommend Ben �

Ben trains my husband John, he finds him very keen, extremely professional, knowledgeable and he loves the way Ben has worked with him and encouraged him. He would recommend Ben without hesitation.

Ben is to training what a bespoke tailor is to a wardrobe. He's uncannily able to peer into your body and discern precisely what's frayed before designing a pattern of optimum exercise - from perspiration to posture. He's practical in his work and mercifully eschews any evangelical mumbo jumbo.

Ben is an excellent trainer, pushes you to your limit whilst recognising your wants and needs from the sessions. He’s professional, reasonably priced and a great motivation. Thanks so much for your support, I’ll be back! X
