At one point in our lives, nearly all of us will have difficulties sleeping. But with a couple of simple guidelines, we can have a better sleep tonight.

I can't tell you how many days in a week I hear from our clients 'it must be old age', like they are prescribing themselves with a condition or untreatable disease that only they can understand themselves.

So, you have decided to finally focus on yourself and implement some healthy habits by joining the local fitness centre.  Congratulations!  The hardest and biggest step is often just walking through the doors and admitting you want some help.  Gyms, studios and clubs often seem intimidating to someone with little to no training experience as they feel inadequate or out of their comfort zone in a room full of strong, fit bodies.  The reality couldn't be farther from the truth, most gym goers are just the average person trying to implement some healthy habits and feel a bit better about themselves, so put to rest the negative self talk and take the plunge!  Now that you are ready to start your journey, let's go through some tips to ensure it's a positive, safe and long experience for you.
