Starting to Get Serious

This is the first week I have really knuckled down. The gym is still some time away but I have managed to get on the bike and cut out sugar from my diet. I know that most people do like something sweet in their life, but I find whenever I have sugar my cravings and appetite goes up the wall. Someone once told me that only dogs need food as a personal reward. With no smokes and drinks in my life it’s therefore all too easy to snack on success.

Weakest Areas Equal Greatest Improvements

Xavi has correctly identified my squats as my weakest areas. I have tight hamstrings and a lack of flexibility. Yoga is one solution and I am going to give that a go next Thursday – but nonetheless we attacked this exercise with a vengeance. Xavi looked at my posture. After years of successfully doing kettlebells I have managed to get a good stance but that doesn’t mean the exercise didn’t kill me. I would have never got through the reps I did without the support of the trainer.

Just the Beginning

Next up it’s the circuits. We’re doing push ups, step ups, slam balls and sit ups followed by thrashing it out on the rower. Every circuit I need to do more calories on the rower and this is absolutely killing me. It’s only 4 minutes per circuit but after the first I feel like I am going to have a heart attack. With my breath burning in my upper chest Xavi will not let it go and leads me to an improved performance on every repetition of the circuit. I finish and feel great.

Walking Wounded

I have a client meeting at 9.45am. After a shower I begin to walk down King Street and everything is ceasing up. My hamstrings are tense and my legs are tense, but ultimately I know I am getting through this. The weight loss already has made me start to think that my fitness goals are achievable and the support is paying off.

I don’t know if it comes across in this blog, but I have to take so much responsibility in my own professional life it really makes a difference when I can be accountable to someone like Xavi, who absolutely has my best interests at heart.

If you would like to get out there and get moving on your weight loss then EMS Fitness is a great place to start. Call Xavi or Beatrice and get the motivation you need to start dropping the kilos. You’ll never look back.

I go to the Saturday morning classes usually. The staff are friendly and encouraging and it's suitable for all experience levels, as you can tailor the exercise to your ability. There's a good range of exercises to keep you motivated, engaged and have a whole body workout. It's a great start to the day, highly recommend. :)

The EMS team are all fantastic. Their classes are both welcoming for people new to fitness and challenging for those with a bit more experience. I’ve always struggled to find a fitness routine that sticks but never find myself dreading my twice-weekly Hyrox session with EMS!

There's gyms and then there's EMS Fitness in Norwich. Bea and Javi have created a big family with all the members and I am only grateful I became a part of this. The sessions are great, you are pushed to your limits physically and at the same time you have a great time and feel so well mentally. A great atmosphere to work out in, motivating environment, state of the art equipment & training methods and new friends are some of the few things EMS Fitness offers. Highly recommend to anyone who seeks enjoyable and efficient workout sessions!

Started with Xavi in August 2023, being moderately overweight and unhealthy. Xavi soon got me to work, giving me a workout plan, diet plan and a heap of motivation to get into shape. Within 6 months, I had lost over 15kg, starting to slowly get into a better shape and feel better about myself. Would definitely recommend Xavi!
