Marathon Madness!
Gail Brindley
April saw Revolution’s head girl take part in her first marathon. She ran the Virgin London Marathon in 4 hours and 56 minutes, which was particularly pleasing since her goal was to go under 5 hours. Not only did Gail run the marathon in a great time, but she also raised over £2,000 for the children’s charity Corum. Well done Gail, we are all proud of you!
Aaron and Michelle
Not only is Aaron Revolution’s most senior trainer, he is also our campest trainer. So perhaps it was rather fitting that he took part in the first ever Brighton marathon. He ran with his ‘girlfriend’ Michelle (left in the photo in case you were wondering) and they completed it in 4 hours and 5 minutes, which put them in the top 25% of the field. Well done to this unbelievably cute couple. All together now... 'ahhhhhhh!'

The Power of Goals!
It all starts with a 12 week goal - you telling us what you want to achieve, and your trainer explaining how you’re going to get there. Why 12 weeks? We decided on 12 weeks because it’s a tangible timeframe to achieve life changing results, but not so far away that you’re going to lose focus.
We follow our own unique system of goal setting which has been developed over many years of goal setting, training clients and studying books by the best self help gurus such as Tony Robbins.
Our 12 week goal is set using our system called SERVE. This is a reminder to us and to you that Revolution and your trainer are here to serve you at all times! We are there with you all the way on this fun, challenging and potentially life changing journey. So what does SERVE mean?
S is for specific. We make sure that your goal is as specific as possible. For example, we won’t let you just say ‘I want to get a bit fitter’ or ‘I want to lose weight’. We make sure you know exactly how much weight you’ll lose or exactly what time you’ll run that 10 km run in. Once a goal is written, something very powerful happens. It’s no longer vague - you now have purpose.
E is for emotion. It’s been said that emotion is 24 times stronger than logic. The best way to think about this is ‘why’. Why do you want to lose weight or achieve whatever it is that you want? You must keep asking yourself why until you arrive at the truth. The importance of this cannot be underestimated. It’s attaching emotion to your goal, which will get you out of bed in the morning to go for that run or make that better nutritional choice.
R is for realistic. Ok, so I don’t want to dampen your fire here, but sometimes people can be slightly over ambitious. If it’s been 20 years since you were last at the weight that you’ve set as your 12 week goal, then maybe we need to set something a bit more achievable. It’s really important that you set yourself up for success!
V is for visualise. We advise that when you get a quiet moment before you go to bed, you visualise how you want to look and think about how you want to feel. Visualise how your friends and work colleagues will respond to the new you. At the start of your 12 week transformation we’ll take your photo. This reality check of where your body is truly at can be incredibly motivating. We’ll also take a photo at the end of your 12 weeks to see the amazing transformation!
E is for evaluate. It’s really important that we evaluate your progress. One of the best personal trainers of all time, Paul Chek, once said ‘if you’re not assessing you’re guessing’. We take whichever measurements are necessary to for you and your goals. We will measure you every 4 weeks so that you and your trainer both know exactly how you’re progressing.
