Consistency is key. Everyone talks about it. It’s not flashy, it’s not exciting – but it’s the foundation of strength and progress. Without it, results stall. With it, habits form, the body adapts, and strength builds. Everyone improves with practice and consistency.

One of my wonderful clients is a really good example of that; I’ll call her A.

A is extremely busy, working a stressful senior level job in central London, only working from home once or twice a week. She travels a fair amount for work and she is a mum of a young child. All of this is what led her to contact me… she already weightlifts and loves it, but with strictly one hour for lunch, she barely finds the time to fit it in. If she does, by the time she discounts travel time there and back, plus time to eat and shower, she only has about 25 minutes to actually train. She told me she runs around like a ‘headless chicken’ and clock watches to move onto the next set quickly.

Of course, this experience wasn’t helping her stay consistent as the gym was proving a stressful affair. To top it off? Her gym is incredibly busy, so often she just used what equipment she could and stuck to what movements she knew and enjoyed. She lacked proper guidance and routine.

Fundamentally, she knew she needed advanced programming to stimulate progressive overload, accountability and the convenience I provide by bringing the gym to her. That’s why she signed up with Fitness by Georgia.

She was keen to try and get back to the weights she was lifting pre-baby, which she felt was ambitious but she wanted to give these a go. I thought this was a great goal!

I worked hard on creating her an appropriate in-gym programme. This meant:

• Taking into account how much time she actually has to train
• Factoring in that she can’t always go as much as she’d like, so there aren’t too many days scheduled (making it unrealistic) and sometimes has to skip a session
• For every 1st option exercise, I provided two other alternative exercises that use different equipment in case what we want to do as first choice is taken
• Pushing her out of her comfort zone, incorporating exercises that were perhaps new to her or she’d only ever done different versions.

I designed our in person sessions to be challenging and a solid foundational workout, so even if she didn’t get to the gym at all one week, she’d still have had an impactful session with me. As A likes change, I switch the routine up once a month to keep things fresh, but I employ techniques to keep the movements tough, even for A’s level of strength!

“I love training with Georgia. She has taken my strength training to another level and really adapted her programming to suit my busy life. I’ve achieved things I didn’t think possible, all thanks to her perfect mix of honesty, accountability, and empathy. Also, if you ever need a motivational pep talk thrown in the mix, she’s the trainer for you!”

Now, just 2 months into us working together, she has hit the highest deadlift and leg press weights she ever has! The weights she has reached far exceeded what she thought she was capable of which was an absolutely wonderful moment to share with her. Just a few weeks before, she had a moment of doubt, wondering if she was being too ambitious in aiming for her pre-baby weights. I’m so glad she didn’t let that wobble get to her too much, and instead, harnessed that energy.

Consistency, smart training, and accountability helped A build her strength and exceed her own expectations. With new milestones already smashed, I can’t wait to see what the next three months bring for A!
