Meet our member Paula 👌

Hi I’m Paula, I currently work for my husband, study and a
Mum to 3 very busy daughters, who’s sports mean I ferry them all around the country and world at times too, my days r strategically planned to the minute, but I wouldn’t want it any other way.

I’ve been with Sarah since the very beginning when she decided that she wanted to make her love for health and fitness, her full time career. With her help and wealth of knowledge, I began my journey.

I’ve attended all of Sarah’s classes, currently I’m just attending circuits on a Thursday, I compliment my training at smurfit with resistance training at the gym, although I could meet all of my fitness needs at the gym, I don’t want to, as I love being a part of the Smurf fit family.

There’s such diversity, it’s lovely, we r all from different walks of life, with our individual stories and journeys, but we all come together, support each other and just enjoy exercising. Who would have thought it hey!

What I love about Sarah is, she wants to educate all of her clients, so we can go away and implement all that we learn, into our daily lives. She wants the very best for each and everyone of her clients and I feel she goes above and beyond for us all. You feel at ease walking into her classes and you can feel the positive atmosphere, there’s no “Sergeant major” shouting, well only if we ask the same question 3 times, then we may receive an eye roll, with a little punishment 😬🤣 but can you blame her.

Classes are full of variety, fun and laughter. I leave feeling pumped for the day ahead, physically and mentally.

Thanks to Sarah’s full investment into health and fitness we never stop learning and you look forward to your next session. She honestly is a wonderful human. 🦸‍♀️

I do try to make them smile, sometimes we just have to do some silly things to encourage this!

In the words of @saraasheppard ‘The things I do for @smurfit4’ meanwhile @nigelssheppard enjoyed being dragged about by three Sarah’s whilst others enjoyed their little rest in the body bags!

Jo gained a child on her laps to even out the carry - good team work 🙌

Some can’t count so they did extra #notmyproblem

Linda skipped with joy 🤩

Not sure what Claudia was imagining whilst launching the medicine ball over her head 👿

The receivers of @miss.leigh.x punches feared for their life as per 😳

Meanwhile everyone else just chipped away at all the mini workouts 🏋️‍♀️ in their teams.

The small ones had to take the equipment back to base because they seemed to be the proactive ones at the end of the session - thanks little princesses 👸

And then Sunday began…..🤭

The weekend…… a time when many can sabotage their week day progress 😱.

There’s so much I could say about this topic but I could be here day!

It’s YOUR weekend every WEEKEND so depending on your goals, if you have any, your weekend choices are based around decisions that will lead you to that the overall goal. This could set you back, this could side step you or if you plan and work hard enough you can sail through it and continue to work towards that goal for YOU.

Make the right choice for YOU, no one else 👌

If you have good friends & family, they will support you too.

Social time is so IMPORTANT and NEEDED.

I LOVE food & drink & exercise.

As a personal goal, I have taken a step away from BOOZE, for a short time because I want too. (No i am not pregnant 😂) So yes I sat in the pub and drank camomile tea last night…. Did I give a shit?? NO!

Got some funny looks though 🙄

Make choices for YOU ❤️ Keep building on that mental strength for you ❤️

All go on on a Friday morning at Senior Circuits 🙌

Tyres, balls, poles, dumbells, head, shoulders, knees & toes to get the heart rate up ❤️

8 stations of activity , suitable for all, or we adjust to accommodate injuries, it’s never a problem.

Then they hit the @the.granarycafe for ☕️, triple shot team!

Mummy to a gorgeous 3 year old munchkin, wife to a shift working police 👮 officer with a sausage dog 🐶 in tow 🥰

I’m busy, I’m active and like many I’m constantly juggling the many balls of life.

The Smur-Fit community is like no other. It’s like a family!

Supportive, caring, full of encouragement and just a little bit cheeky (in the best way…)

I attend the Circuits and Bootcamp sessions on a Thursday and Sunday and normally either have a toddler or dog in tow.

Classes are varied, fun, challenging and exhilarating.

I leave with an incredible buzz of knowing I’ve worked my body, mind and spirit with some truly amazing like minded people.

It sounds cheesy when reading it aloud but I feel so lucky to be a part of this group of individuals and that I feel is down to Sarah and her infectious personality and zest for all things health and fitness.

It’s not just about a work out and burning calories - it’s about the whole experience and feel good factor for the entire body and mind ❤️

❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰

Everyone’s journey is different but it works here to be together and work out together 🙌

I LOVE this progress ❤️ This wonderful lady,

I LOVE this progress ❤️

This wonderful lady, Caroline, has a full-time, 24/7 commitment at home, which changes daily and can simply throw all best plans out the window, so we had to approach and understand this fitness & nutrition journey with FLEXIBILITY.

There was no time limit, it was about being a healthier version of herself so she can be the best support for at home commitments.

As a result, 17lb of weight has been lost BUT I want you to take note of all the other progresses listed below – its NOT always about the scales.

Here we have an awesome example of NEW HABITS

☀️ It’s okay to not be consistent in every box of a fitness & nutrition journey, if you can be consistent in one or two then that’s still PROGRESS

☀️Using ready meals is okay in stressful times or when time is limited and when time is better you cook from scratch, but its okay to not be CONSISTENT

☀️ Increasing PROTEIN can help afternoon hunger and diminish sweet cravings

☀️Drinking two – three litres of WATER is a simple habit to maintain

☀️ Weight loss can happen with simple changes… WALKING…. more each day and eating better quality meals when possible

☀️ALCOHOL free drinks are not so bad after all

☀️INJURIES can occur but can we work around them

Each week small goals were set, attending classes was NOT possible, so just simply being active through WALKING and a CALORIE DEFICIT was all that was needed.

This is possible for ANYONE

A perfect example that you can feel better with just a few tweaks here and there and you don’t need to be working out like a nutter or removing things from your diet, better choices that’s all 🤪

Take a step back, look at what you CAN do, not what you CANNOT do.

Well done Caroline 🙌

DO NOT DROP DA BAG!

Partner work at its finest…. The POWERBAGS had to stay off the floor at all times… and of course they found a little cheat 🤦‍♀️ so whilst they were on the last few laps I sneaked in and changed the last part of the workout…. Which meant the cheeky two in first then had a penalty of bear crawls 🐻 whilst the rest of the crew completed the original workout 🏋️‍♀️

They ran, squatted, pressed, sat up and down, burpeed, smiled, sweated, huffed & puffed , all in a good session 🙌

Never say never!

Stop shying away from things that will challenge you and put you out of your comfort zone.

Throw yourself in and at least TRY 👏

That’s what I did, you won’t know if you can or can’t until you try.

Surrounding yourself with others who support and flood your mind with positivity does help though!

I tried @hyroxuk HYROX as a duo team, I couldn’t complete all the workouts, yet the photos tell a different story!

Seconds after this sled pull my vision went dark and I saw stars then battled with feeling extremely 🤢 and my stomach churning 💩 We were only 20minutes into the event!

I knew I couldn’t stop and momentarily felt scared, anxious and not sure what my body was going to do next.

Thanks to Luke my partner in this event he took over whilst I got myself together and used the following 1k run to reset. Then I was good to go again!

Before the event, I was dreading the ski erg, the row, the burpees and looked forward to the strength elements but that changed quickly.

The running became the rest for me (had to get it in somehow) the cardio elements were doable, (I didn’t think I liked cardio anymore) the majority of the workouts were achievable and the one I looked forward to the most , the sled pull and push, was the worst!!! 🤢

We did it, together and will go back to improve our performance now we know where we have room to improve!

We will be back….

Bootcamp, aka the family Bootcamp!

Grandchildren, children, siblings, you name it … they are in the camp, moving their bodies, smiling, giggling and loving the great outdoors with their loved ones.

Three rounds today, each set of exercises had a rep number the participants chose (from my selection) so they couldn’t blame me for the design of the workout. Utterly smashed it 🙌

Bootcamp for all , every Sunday 9am at Watlington Recreational Ground, different every week, hangovers welcome, always some added fun 😉

Friday morning vibes 🌟

Senior circuits @smurfit4 , throwing, catching, weaving, pushing, pulling and smiles to keep them active throughout 💛

Personal training with Kettlebells for Katie, a nice complex round with overhead marches, cleans, presses, transverse swings continuously flowing from one move to another , keeping the heart rate up, and using all those core muscles with a little AMRAP for starter and dessert!

Road trip this weekend to see this beauty @karen.seed510 in her home town @visitclitheroe

Karen joined us in lockdown for classes through @boxerciseltd and has been part of our family ever since.

It’s been awesome to see how much progress Karen has made just through attending group classes online and being more mindful with her nutrition choices.

We have been walking, running, park run, talking, giggling, eating, drinking, taking in the scenery & chilling 👌
