Why Glasgow Man Club is What You Need Right Now So we are fast approaching the end of January. Hopefully you are still on track with those health and fitness goals, you set with such determination and focus just 4 weeks ago? Or maybe you’ve passed pay day and had a blew out at the weekend and decided the gym ‘isn’t for you’ or ‘ I tried, but didn’t get any results’ or ‘it’s too boring, tedious and time consuming’ maybe one or more o f these hits home with you or you’ve got another reason to stop.

Why Not Hitting Your Goals Isn’t Always a Failure

Why NOT Hitting Your Targets Isn’t Necessarily a Failure When is a failure a success ? Does that even make sense ? Well it can and I’m going to tell you why I’ll start with my example which I’ve just finished today (Hogmanay) I set out to do 60 training sessions before the end of the year, over the last 90 days to be exact, I completed number 58 today, the last day – 2 short. Did I hit my target – NO So, that must be a failure then ? Well not as far as I’m concerned, I could’ve

HO HO HO – T’is The Time To let Yourself Be Jolly

Christmas is just a few days away, Friday maybe your last day at work this year or at least I hope you’re getting a couple of days off ? What should be a fun, relaxed, family and friends based time can for a few become a stress fest. There are loads of reasons for this, money, what to buy for who, how much to spend, how much food and drink to buy, where will we go for Christmas dinner, who do we invite ? Loads and Loads I’m going to look at a couple that I hear from clients and

Goal Achieving

GOAL ACHIEVING, PLANNING AND GUARANTEED RESULTS When it comes to Goals setting and more importantly Goal achieving, we tend to fall into the following categories 1. I really want to achieve ................... I know what is required to get that and I’m going to do that 2. I want to achieve .................. not really sure what I need to do or if I’m willing to do what is required 3. I’m not really that fussed about achieving ............................... but I’ll say I’m going to anyway and maybe fluke the result. Which one are you ? Goal setting is a really

I Fucked Up

I Owe You An Apology A wee break from the 'what GMC’s is’ series, sorry about that but this has been on my mind and felt it needed saying. I feel I’ve been unhelpful to you and I apologise. You see the idea of Glasgow Man Club has been in my head since 2012, constantly evolving adding things to it, while all staying mostly in my head, just a bit of a dream, nothing genuinely real, no actual structure or place to do it, just a fairy tale. I was living in fantasy land! As long as it remained a

Fuel – Part 2

FUEL ( part 2 Food) FOOD gives or takes away the energy you need to be the man you want to be. It's easy in the Glasgow and the west of Scotland to fall into bad habits, the chippies, the deep fried pizza, or just normal pizza, all the other takeaways, the 'couple of beers' watching the football or shitty tv on week nights, the uncountable beers, shots and halves over the weekend. Now we're (GMC) not telling you stop all of these, although you can't get the results you say you want doing it constantly. Actually giving a fuck

Overwhelm, ma Heid’s burst

Information, Information, Information It’s fucking everywhere !!! Want to know something we google it and then spend hours hunting through all the options, all the downloads, all the videos, before finally forgetting what the question was. Too much conflicting information, just adds to an already confused brain. I hear this from a lot of men when discussing what G.M.C comprises of, what is expected, what work you need to do. Once I start explaining all the service G.M.C provides I can see how it can easily become overwhelming, seem like too much to take on, too much work, too much

Fannying about with Fitness

How important is your fitness to you ? Are you a avid gym goer, beat yourself up if you miss a session or don't progress as well as you hoped ? Are you first to book into classes, first through the door? Follow a progressive program aimed at your specific goals ? Or do you fanny about ? It's something you'd like to enjoy more, the idea of being leaner, faster, stronger is appealing but it's boring. I get it, I used to be worse than I am now, if a class got cancelled or I didn't have a set
