2020 – What a weird year! Back in February I had one of the best nights out I can remember – watching terrorvision in Leeds with several mates đđ»
And then ….lockdown hit.
With my wife being a key worker I was the headteacher! (Note the badge!)
The business I have put loads into had to take a massive back seat, family stuff became a massive focal point .
Even though itâs been a âbadâ year – some of the memories we made , would not have been possible without the restrictions …….Like:
Seeing Isla ride her bike for the 1st time:
Kiera chin ups for fun!
Watching money Heist and trying to play the tune! đ
We got through lockdown with home workouts….
The girls go to spend lots of time (and have loads of fun!) in the gym as it was empty!
We Eventually moved house! In the middle of lockdown!
My Brother had a lockdown wedding!
Does anyone remember the amazing weather?!
Cleaning the gym took a while after lockdown…..
We had An AMAZING CHRISTMAS!
AND THE BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENTS……..!
Anyway, with all the fun we had been having, I kind of let some habits slip.
You probably know – extra treats like crisps , chocolate, a few beers in the early evening with the hot weather….
So I decided to get my own coach for a short 8-week challenge .
I know what youâre thinking – if you know what to do….why do you need to pay someone to coach you?
I’ll tell you why!
If you donât answer to someone – you will more than likely just trick yourself or skimp on things you need to do!
So hereâs my before shot …. 15th October
Hereâs the Before-to-after (December 10th)
Easier to say in words what I learned – and what you can learn (!) …from my short 8 week stint.
I forgot to mention that this was a shorter way of getting a little leaner again to where I likely got my leanest for a holiday a while back…..but that one was a few months in the process….
If you have any questions and want to get started, get in touch via the contact page đ

How much is the “Your Next Best Year” program?
Depending on the level of help you would like, and whether or not you want to use Your Next Level Gym to Train there are 5 options…
*** LIMITED TO 20 PEOPLE ***
F.A.Q
“When can I start?”
The Next intake will likely be to January 4th 2021. Contact me here with the title “I WANT IN” and I will put you on the waiting list đ
“Do I get told what to eat?“
We try to avoid specific meal plans as they are usually “all-or-nothing.” We adapt your existing foods and drinks to help you enjoy what you already enjoy, but make strides to get leaner, stronger, healthier – whichever you want to focus on! That said, you might end up making your own “meal plan” that works for you!
“How often are the workouts?”
We work on a flexible system to fit you – but ideally doing resistance training 2-3 times a week, with 1-2 cardiovascular or mobility/stretching routines. Some people have done 15-20mins most days instead. The exercise aspect is usually 5 hours total, or less as food and mindset is key, but we see the huge benefits of resistance training 3 session a week.
“In the “Gold” Option – Do I have to choose either 1 hour bootcamp or 30 minute bootcamps? I like both!”
You can choose to do either! We will add enough to last you the year and you can change them as you see your schedule đ
“If I pay up front for the year – I get 10% off ?”
That’s right!
“Do I have to use Your Next Level Gym Can I use my own gym or exercise at home? “
You don’t have to use Your Next Level Gym to do the workouts, but you know we are at hand to help if you do!
The Silver Gold and Platinum Levels allow you access at Your Next Level Fitness, and you can also do the odd Pay as You go session too. If you want to use another gym or train a home that will work well, although if training at home, we do recommend investing in some Dumbells and bands.
With the daily emails, I don’t like to do a lot of reading…..
That’s ok ! You can LISTEN to each lesson in your car or at home !
Final thoughts
Often, we think of the “quick fix”…..the “If I just lose some weight I will be happy” mentality. Although weight loss is a key part of the program, it’s the mental unpacking and re-packing of the information and ideas we hold about the world that is the real magic in this program.
Hopefully you want to make 2021 your “best year” and I can be with you each step of the way.
My journey here at Your Next Level Fitness has been an amazing one, I’ve changed so much not only physically but mentally too. If you don’t mind I’d like to give you a brief background………
When I was in my 20’s and 30’s, I was happy with my size and shape, But I wasn’t healthy. I smoked, partied hard at weekends, and had been on anxiety tablets on and off for many years. My GP even said my anxiety is in my DNA. I will always be on medication for it!
I had my little boy at 39 and put on a good 4 stone during my pregnancy. I was the size of a bus! So much so, I spent that last month of it sat in a chair, as moving around was quite painful and exhausting!
Despite absolutely loving being a new Mum, I was so down with my appearance which fuelled my anxiety even more. I wasn’t in a good place.
So just over 2 years ago, I decided to start running (I hated it, and I really wasn’t very good at it) as thought I would really burn some calories, But I didn’t lose much really. I started an aerobics type class as well, thinking that would help, but not much happened there either.
I had heard about bootcamps and Riva and I had been talking to someone who recommended Your Next Level, saying how good they were and you won’t find anything like it elsewhere.
So I rang and spoke with John who asked what we wanted to achieve out of it.
Well as soon as we walked in, we both said “I think we are going to like it here!” Although I did think because of the size of me, I’m bound to be pulling machines over, and snapping bands ect……seriously…I couldn’t even do a body weight squat without being in so much pain! I was so unfit and weak.
Exercise is hard…….at first…….!
Over the coming months, I ditched the aerobic classI was doing elsewhere and the running and increased my bootcamp classes to 4 times a week, and in October 2018 I enrolled on a year-long Precision Nutrition course too, John was my coach on the course. Â I was on a mission!!
Since October 2018 I’ve lost over 4 stone, and I’ve never felt better!!
During bootcamps, John and Lee praise you, and will advise you when you’ve not quite got the correct posture…..it makes a difference when you do it right! They always say “Hi” and ask how you are, they’re interested in one thing, and that is to help you get to your goal and helping you through obstacles that come your way, in the process. They are a mind of information and advice on fitness and nutrition.
I love all this and I love the camaraderie during the class. Everyone is so friendly, and a good laugh. And there is encouragement between us too.
Click to see a typical class!
In comparison to other gyms I used to be part of in the past….they wasn’t interested if I didn’t go as long as I was still paying (and didn’t pay much attention to me while I was there), whereas John IS interested and wants to help and see you get back in there, All the coaches at Your Next Level are so very very good at what they do.
Prior to starting at Your Next Level, If I’d had an off day, I would get my pjs on and pour a glass of wine and feel sorry for myself. Â The new Lisa (when having an off day) is so eager and committed to get to class because I know I will feel better. Â Going here and completing the PN course has rewired my brain in relation to food and strength training.
I am no longer on anxiety tablets. AND…..I can:
Goblet squat a 25kg dumbell and barbell squat 60-70kg
Do assisted chin ups with bands, and FULL press ups!
Trap bar deadlift 80-100kg for reps
Row at a fast pace for 5-10mins
And more!
Who’d have thought I could come this far, in a year.
A massive thank you to John, and Lee and the whole team there, who inspire and encourage me every day, to enjoy my journey, because I’m still on it, tweaking it as I go, and with some more improvements to come,
Lisa xx
Lisa has gone through some massive changes this past year, from relying on anxiety medication to coming off them completely, with strength and fitness levels consistently building, and getting leaner consistently too. Lisa realises the importance of patience and consistency – and is a pleasure to work with!
It all started almost 3 years ago when a friend asked me to go with her to a personal training session one Sunday morning â up until then I had thought I should do some form of exercise but found numerous excuses not to start!
I hadnât heard of Your Next Level Fitness before then and really didnât know what to expect. Gyms can be very intimidating places especially if you lack confidence and are self-conscious which many of us are. So I canât say I looked forward to that first session. The gym is relatively small (but perfectly formed!) with a really friendly atmosphere. From first stepping into the Gym and reading the motivational slogans on the wall I got a feeling that I might actually like it.
John coached us through the session and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. We agreed that we would book onto a session the next week and âgive it a goâ
We started with the Tuesday and Thursday 6pm 30 minute Boot-camp sessions and after a couple of weeks I was hooked. After a few weeks my friend dropped out but I carried on going to the sessions on my own and even added the weekly 60 minute Saturday morning session held outside on the Rugby field (in all weathers!). Great fun!
Initially what I lacked in technique and ability I think I made up for in enthusiasm â I couldnât do full press ups but could do them from my knees, I couldnât hold a plank for very long but I had a go and thatâs the main thing⊠you donât know what you are capable of until you have a go.
We read about how exercise produces Serotonin and releases Endorphins which makes us feel good and boosts our mood âŠ.. I can now say that I fully understand this and have noticed a huge difference in my physical and mental health since starting a regular exercise routine.
Once I started to feel physically fitter I realised I would benefit more from the exercise sessions if I also made changes to my diet and lifestyle. I started making small changes â reducing the amount of alcohol I drank, eating more slowly so as to recognise when Iâm satisfied rather than eating everything on my plate and then looking for âaftersâ and taking notice of portion sizes âŠ.. as a woman with a sedentary job I donât need to eat the same size meal as my husband or son!
I started following the WW plan for food, mainly to give me some formal direction and fast forward a year I am now 3 œ stone lighter but more importantly I am healthier with a healthier mind set in relation to food.
This has had
a huge knock on effect to my exercise routine in that I am now able to attempt
things I could only have dreamt about a couple of years ago.
The sense of achievement after completing the Total Warrior event in Leeds with the YNLF team back in June 2017 was mind blowing â I have never done anything like that before in my life and although it was tough I loved every minute of it â Iâm hoping to do it again…
When I started out I couldnât do one full press up but with the encouragement of John and Lee at YNLF I can now do 10 decent full press ups in a row â Iâm now aiming to do 12+
My latest victory is managing to do a chin up! I never thought I would be saying that! Iâm aiming for 3 in a row now.
Iâve met some
great people at YNLF who all have their own story as to why they are there â
the most important thing is that âŠ..they are there!
I would say to anyone thinking about coming to Your Next Level Fitness just do it âŠ. Take that step and you will never look back. Like that well known advert says âbecause youâre worth it!!â
There are a variety of Boot-Camp session times and opportunities to use the open Gym where there is always a qualified PT around if you need assistance. No matter how busy your lifestyle there will be a time to suit.
I currently do the Monday evening 5.30pm 60 min Boot-camp with John and the Friday morning 6am 60 min Boot-camp session….. but depending on my weekly commitments with my full time job and busy home life I can change these times to suit.
Who would have thought that that first Sunday morning session almost 3 years ago would lead me to where I am now feeling happier and healthier in my 50âs than in my 20âs, 30âs or 40âs?!
Thanks to all at YNLF for your support and encouragement âŠâŠâŠ.wonder what I might attempt next!
You may have heard about the recent  Your Next Level Expansion! Â
CLICK HERE Â to Read about the new personal training gym in Hessle where we started the last phase of the process.
Today’s update is about 2 of the coaches that you will be seeing a lot more of if you are involved in the Your Next Level Fitness Family!
Hi Everyone, my name’s Lee Wiles.
For some of you I won’t need an introduction to, but others I haven’t yet had the pleasure of meeting.
I’m happy to let you all know that I am going to be working with John and his team at the new Your Next Level Fitness gym.
Having known John for almost ten years – in that time I’ve learnt so much from him having been trained by and training with him.
I am hugely passionate about health and fitness and I can’t wait to get started using the knowledge I’ve learnt from courses I’ve undertaken and from John himself.
I know that when you all see the new gym, you will agree that it is going to be something special and I’m really excited that I’ll be there helping you with your training and to achieve your goals.
Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and looking forward to seeing you in 2016.
Lee
Here’s James with his own words:
Hi folks, my nameâs James Bednarski & excited to be a trainer working with John at the new venue.
I live 5min away with my wife & little girl so im a local lad! My passion is helping people to live happier lives through great health, so youâll come across me doing Personal Training, Sports Massage & some of your Bootcamps.
Im looking forward to working with Cam again after 10yrs & really looking forward to getting to know guys in workouts & socially,
Have a great Christmas see you soon!!
Both Lee and  James are going to be a massive help at the Your Next Level Fitness training ……Watch this space and you’ll get to meet them soon!
Often the conversation goes a long the lines of this:
âSo youâre a trainer eh? SoâŠ.how do I get rid of this?â (Points or grabs hip/waist/belly)
I then have a few options.
a)Â Â Â Â Â Â Spend 10-15 minutes going through various foods and training scenarios â only to find that there is âno wayâ that said person could give up this food or that time, or train so many days a week.
Or lift heavy things.
Or drink water on its own.
Or ___(insert your own strategy)___ .
b)Â Â Â Â Â Â Get onto another topic â because hey! Iâm not at work! đ
âb)â tends to be more popular these days! Â Truth be told, I do usually give a bit of good info – but honestly, nothing get’s done until someone steps through my door READY TO TAKE ACTION .
Anyway, while I may only have 2 options,  if you want to lose weight (fat in particular)âŠâŠ.YOU in fact, have MANY OPTIONS!!
Do it on your own.
This is hard. You maybe have a gym membership or you have some home equipment.
Either way, you need to get yourself motivated to do the work, and with no one else doing it with you (or even making sure you stay on track) â It can be so much nicer to just sack it off
Â
 Camâs top tip: If you go this route â try and get a training partner.
1, They will be ready to train and make you turn up (you wouldnât believe how hard it is to turn up!)
and
2, They will push you to train harder . These benefits will help them also â its WIN WIN! This just ONE of the options we have at YOUR NEXT LEVEL FITNESS(opens in Facebook)… and is simple…you train together, maybe use similar exercises and reps, but change some things if they do not suit you.Â
So one of you might do step ups, one of you might squat to a bench if you have sore knees. One of you might use more weight on the dumbell press.
Either way, you all train in a nice place, and it’s win win!
If youâre at a gym,the main drawback is that it can cost more moneyâŠ.. say 10 years at a gym from ÂŁ30-ÂŁ50 per month is ÂŁ3600-ÂŁ6000 over 10 years. Home equipment will just cost you the outlay of equipment.
If you want a home set-up I would recommend resistance like a barbell and some other stuff if you want it.
Using resistance is the easiest â if not the only way to shape your body. Now, it doesnât matter too much if you use barbells, dumbells, sandbags, kettlebells, or bales of hay!
Whatever the tool â you need it to be hard for your body to change to adapt to the workload.
If you are serious and can afford to spend upwards of a few hundred quid , I recommend a power rack,
You get to play along with your favourite presenter doing things from bodyweight exercises to shimmying at zumba!
Pro: Cheaper than a gym membership
Donât have to wait for your partner to be there if they sack it off
Can provide good motivation at the especially at the start
Cons: 1 routine will only last 6-8 weeksâŠâŠ..unless it has built-in progressions and regressions like all good programs should have
You donât know if you are actually doing the exercise correctly!
You will know the words of the presenter off by heart âNow go for the BURRRN!! (Coming up to 3 mins inâŠ) âYeeeeah Thatâs it!â (Like he can see you?!)
You can turn the DVD off if you want to sack it off â NO ONE will even know! (even if you tell your child to keep it quiet too!)
 And Zumba? Although any movement is good as so many people sit all dayâŠâŠYou would need to do a lot of hours of zumba in a week if you want my opinion (Unless your food is sound). Seen as though aerobic exercise is not as time efficient for fat loss than higher intensity exercise – You had better do it a lot!
Plus, if you’re a man – you may not want to be seen doing a zumba class (CLICK to Watch in YOUTUBE)
The ‘cardio’ I prefer are some sort of sprint (bodyweight or resisted) or for most people the Concept 2 Rower is a great tool to have.
In fact, one client of ours called Juliet did weights with us…..and used the Concept 2 Rower as her cardio training when not with us….And she did pretty well! đ
The problem with calorie counting is that itâs not an exact science, as your body deals with chemicals â not just heat. (Measuring the heat given off by burning foods is how we know roughly how many calories are in them)Â
If you want my opinion on calories on one sentence =  Calories do matter for weight gain/lossâŠâŠâŠ..however the type of food is more important, and 95% of the time I donât have client count calories because that time (A LOT OF TIME) could be better spent exercising and preparing meals.
After all â if calories were all that mattered â then weight watchers would be all we would need.
And that leads us perfectly on to slimming groups!
Weight watchers and slimming world appear to be the main slimming groups (I am aware there are many more)
The good thing about these groups (and why they are successful) is that if you change your food habits for the better â really good things can happen. Just check out some of the success stories HERE)
All these didnât just exercise, they changed their nutritional habits.
Simply being in a group and trying to change your habits is a lot easier than going it alone. You can see where others are going wrong â and they can help you too. Often it’s not that the slimming group has thr right information – just that the social and accountability involved makes the difference.
This gets around the problem of not having a friend to train with or make sure you actually turn up. Other like-minded people will train in a class with youâŠâŠit could be a spin class, a boxing class, a bodypump classâŠâŠâŠthere are many to choose from!
Pros: You turn up because others do
You may evcen make a few extra friends to hang out with outside of training
Pushes you harder
You can get a lot iof work inside an hour with an instructor not letting you slack
Cons:
Often you have to go along at the ability level of the rest of the class
Even when there are progressions to make it harder â usually the amount of weight on the bar is the easiest to change â and most studios donât have enough plates.
Our classes use plenty of weights so that this is not a limiting factor.
Classes usually do too much aerobic work. Yes, you get a sweat on as you are nearly constantly moving â but your body soon adapts (maybe 6-8 weeks) and then your body will hardly change unless you make it SIGNIFICANTLY harder.
Technique – while this is better than on your own unsupervised â often in a class of 20 people it will be really hard to correct â especially in a lot of classes where the instructor takes part.
5. You can hire a personal trainer. Iâll try not to be too biased!
The biggest downside of hiring a personal trainer is the cost. ÂŁ20,30,40,50+ per hour is a lot of money â and when I first started out I thought it was unusually high.
However (!), Now that I am wiser, more knowledgeable, and better looking (my wife may argue differently) â I really see the valueâŠâŠESPECIALLY in the first few sessions.
Why the first few sessions?
a)Â Â Â Â Â Â You learn HOW to lift properly.
I wish I had even known about personal trainers when I was 16 â I would have invested a few months pocket money for 1 hour of solid advice no problem. (Reason being I spent tons of time doing bench presses, shoulder presses and curls in my bedroom and shed………… with my weights from ARGOSÂ .
I did, Iâm pleased to add, do a lot of squats and lunges off the old WEIDERÂ posters that came with the weights!!
I would say that the weight training on my legs is what helped make me such a fast football player. Beside, no guy wants chicken legs do they????
b)      You learn what the best foods are to eat to build muscle and lose body fat. What can I say? This is priceless.
c)Â Â Â Â Â Â Youâre more likely to stay injury free (because you are lifting properly)
d)Â Â Â Â Â Â If the trainer is really good â youâll learn how to program your own sessions. Yes they may not be perfect as you re not under the direct supervision of a trainer, but they will be better than 90-99% of the other people in the gym randomly lifting and spinning their wheels……or watching TV!!!
e)      You get support in future
f)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â You get the accountability factorÂ
âIf I can get to bootcamp â I can get through the session!â Is what I remember hearing a few times last summer. If you book in with someone â you are less likely to cancel than if it was just you saying to yourself âIâll train tomorrow morning.â
Also, Do they do nutrition? Food is a MASSIVE part of the fat loss equation – and if you have someone who ‘just trains’ – they might not be the on for you. Â Oh, you may want to see their insurance if you are really unsure.
Bootcamps are everywhere these days. On the plus side – they can be fun, effective and are cheaper than personal training sessions.
However, like all things – There is a downside!
Depending on the bootcamp â there are a number of things to consider.
Whatâs the goal of the program?
Is it safe?
What about injuries?
Ability levels and modifications!
The goal?
Some programs are âfitnessâ programs and will focus on aerobic exercise. Great for aerobic fitness, not so time-efficient for fat loss. It has been documented that aerobics are not that great for fat loss when you factor in the calorie burn post workout. Things like interval training would do better â given the amount of time you invest. (That’s not to say that aerobic exercise is ‘bad’…….just that it’s not the best use of your ……..say……3 hours a week you have available to train. )
That said â if you donât like to train shorter and harder â then you have to do the exercise that you will stick with!
Is it safe?
If youâve read my work on my website before â you will know that I am not a supporter of running if quite overweight.
This is where you have to be a bit wary of some classes as it can be as easy as you, yourself starting up a bootcamp of your own!!!!
âHey! Iâm in a field, and letâs start a weight loss class where we run laps and then we might do some press ups here and there â thanks for the money!
If overweight, running is a lot of stress on your joints. Also, if doing press ups (a chest exercise â front of the body) and nothing for the back  â pulling exercises â you are causing an imbalance at the shoulder joint (which can then affect postureâŠ.and lead to back pain and more).
Some can be all pain and no gain!
Click this link to read an interesting article regarding some bootcamps.
There is definitely a place for these types of bootcamp – and a certain type of person. They can be fun, challenging and for some, a really good idea.
I just think they are not for everyone – especially if you are a few stone overweight.
What about injuries? Ability levels and modifications!
As addressed â running while overweight may cause problems â if not now, then most certainly later on in life. How do you make it doable without the pain?
The pushing and pulling â make sure there is some pulling going on! And not the Friday night kind!
Some people will struggle with some exercises â is there a way to make it doable? Also, is there a way to challenge the more advanced participants?
7. Go online with a Coach.
There are many around, and each will be better at some things than others.
I myself don’t prepare people for bodybuilding – I mainly help people look and feel better while coping with the usual stresses – work / family / social outings…..the stuff I deal with!
Anyway, I started HULLâS FIRST BOOTCAMP back in 2009 â and I learned gradually how to design and manage large groups effectively. We started out with a handful in the summer â and became smaller in the winter!
The weather was poor here â check this vid out…..hard work! (CLICK ON THE PIC BELOW)
Lorna has been with us for many years….and went from zero press ups to 20+, doing 3 chin ups, benching and squating a lot more….changing her shape – click to read more!
There are many more too – and you can be one of them! The most successful often invest in a 1-on-1 to go through nutrition and they stick to the plan đ
We simply encourage you to do your best – while we provide the food tips, training sessions – and a supportive community. Â I feel like we use the best bits from all the options laid out above – and we try to strengthen the weaker points.
I hope you enjoyed this post – and that you realise that you DO have quite a few options đ
I have had quite the weekend, learning from some of the world’s top coaches, and having a blast doing some exercises –Â It’s fun being a bit of a science-fitness geek!
However, today I am letting David Haas write with a guest post. This is to highlight the positive effect that exercise can have on patients – so I will let him speak his words……
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–Â
Cancer—-just saying that word produces pictures in the mind of losing one’s hair, being so tired it’s nearly impossible to get up out of bed, and of course, feelings of almost constant nausea. It conjures up fears both real and imagined. One wonders, “How will it change me? What will I look like after treatment? How will I ever get back to where I was before I was sick?”
While there’s not one right answer to all of these questions just like there’s no one right treatment, there is a relatively simple thing that a person can do that will not only alleviate some of these feelings, but help the person feel physically better.
It’s exercise, and whether a person has prostate, colon, or mesothelioma it provides both relief for the physical as well as the mental symptoms that come along with the diagnosis.
What the study uncovered was that regular physical activity balanced out depressive feelings, helped patients boost their energy levels, helped the cancer survivors access an inner sense of well-being. The assumptions drawn from the study conclude the participants were able to transfer the feelings of strength that they drew from their regular exercise routines and bring it to other areas of their lives like work, family responsibilities, and social interactions.
However, people with other types of cancer like mesothelioma or prostate are helped as well by exercise. According to some more general findings by the National Cancer Institute, physical activity during treatment makes a huge difference in a person’s outlook. In fact, exercise is seen as such an important part of recovering from cancer that there is now a recommendation that it become a regular part of treatment much like a heart patient would go to rehabilitation.
Said Dr. Courneya of NCI , âWe’re finding that patients can do a lot more than we originally thought they could do, even when they’re on chemotherapy or radiation therapy.â
This is promising news for those undergoing treatment for mesothelioma, breast, and other types of cancer.
Additionally, because cancer changes people both physically and mentally, one of the goals for recommending exercise during treatment is to help people improve their body image and composition. Physical activity helps rebuild muscles and strengthen bones, which when weakened by illness tend to point toward a person’s illness. The effect is that the outside world notices the illness and not necessarily the person.
Finally, lest it begins to seem overwhelming to think about exercise when there are so many pressing issues involved with recovery, physical trainer Marilyn McAllister had this to say about exercise and cancer treatment:
 âEverybody benefits from exercise, but it can be so dramatic in cancer patients. It doesn’t take much training to produce big results in their lives.â
I hope you found David’s word useful.  Many people have all have been affected by Cancer in some way – or know someone that has. Sometimes the simplest things could help a great deal. You can learn more by visiting Davids blog http://www.mesothelioma.com/blog .
