@TheAA_UK Whats the f*cking point in having a breakdown and recovery membership if you can't organise a single transporter to get my vehicle from point A to point B? It broke down on Sunday lunchtime, its now Tuesday late afternoon. 48 hour guarantee BULLSHIT

[Alex Murray @AlexMurrayPT]

Synonyms for @TheAA_UK : shambolic, chaotic, disorderly, disordered, haphazard, unordered, disorganized, unsystematic, absolute pile of shit. Every phone call made in the last 48 hours to get an update on my vehicle recovery, im given different info.

[Alex Murray @AlexMurrayPT]

What an absolute shit show from @TheAA_UK for the last 24 hours of poor service and disconnected systems. Rest assured I’m coming for you big time in the morning. False promises, “locked in” recovery times, zero customer service. Horrendous.

[Alex Murray @AlexMurrayPT]

If you don’t invest in your customer service, don’t be surprised when you have a shockingly bad reputation. @Tuffnells are impossible to contact to sort out potential delivery FRAUD, absolutely appalling. Trading standards, here we come.

[Alex Murray @AlexMurrayPT]

@Avis Rome is an absolute joke. Over 90 minutes waiting for their premium “Preferred” service and still no cars!! Staff with no direction, no urgency, and no f*cking clue. Worst car rental service ever experienced.

Sometimes, I wonder if I’m a bit too OCD with gym tidiness. ⠀

But this takes the biscuit. ⠀

Which complete f*ckwit thought “yeah, this is the right place for these weight plates”???⠀

Stop the planet, I want to get off.⠀

Putting in the hours on the new bike with her first session on the @wahoofitnessofficial kickr turbo training today! 🚴‍♂️⠀

Interruptions to turbo workouts are never well received, unless of course it is the postman who knocks on the open back door with a fresh supply of @t…

K.I.S.S, KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID! 😆⠀
⠀
Breakfast doesn’t need to be complicated, eat whatever you can stomach.⠀
⠀
Most of us get up early to go to work or exercise before work starts, so whatever your routine, make sure you fuel correctly.⠀

My mornings look super simple.…

Great to get out and enjoy a rare early evening pounding the tarmac! 🏃🏻‍♂️⠀
⠀
Ever since breaking my ankle, I’ve never properly fallen in love with running again, but on sunny evenings like this, it’s hard not to love it ☀️ ⠀
⠀
That combined with my first proper use of my ne…

3 years ago today, I got to share a pint of the black stuff with a childhood hero after a bloody hard boxing masterclass from him 🥊 ⠀

An absolute pleasure to learn from the best. Motivational Monday’s don’t come much bigger! ⠀

Never underestimate the usefulness of goodies from events! ⠀
⠀
The Tour de Shane towel from last weekend’s cycle sportive is the perfect accessory for today’s leg workout 💪🏻⠀

(Probably because of how well it colour coordinates with my shoes and the gym floor 😆) ⠀

Weekends are all about social fitness 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️⠀
⠀
Now that the days are getting noticeably longer and the weather is tidying up, there’s no excuse not to be out there exploring the world around you.⠀

Whatever your ability level, whatever your chosen discipline is, just get…

After a very busy week, this is exactly how I’m feeling about the weekend! ⠀
⠀
Work to live, don’t live to work.⠀
⠀
We often plough our heart and soul into earning a living, but so frequently we forget to actually enjoy the journey! ⠀
⠀
So if you do anything at all this …

The Lat Pulldown machine is one of the most misused pieces of equipment in a gym I’ve come across in my time as a trainer 🤦🏻‍♂️⠀
⠀
Technique is almost always poor and often dangerous.⠀

One of the biggest sins... https://t.co/XNDeHsyuIc

🏋🏻‍♂️ You vs You 🏋🏻‍♂️ ⠀
⠀
Memories of past PBs, heaviest lifts, fastest times etc are useful and also useless.⠀
⠀
The success of a workout isn’t defined by whether you beat your last attempt or not, it is defined by feeling you gave it your all and left nothing in the tank.…

It’s been a while since my last post ⏰ ⠀
⠀
I go through phases of being an avid social media user, then dropping off the face of the planet.⠀
⠀
The important thing is I don’t let it dictate my life.⠀

The last week or so has had some big family events happen, which are …

Eating meals late in the evening often means avoiding heavy meals, not because carbs are evil or “will make you fat after 6pm”, but because I personally don’t sleep well when I have carb dominant evening meals. ⠀

Take this meal for example. It’s a standard spaghetti bologn…

Love seeing progress updates outside the gym from my clients! 💪🏻⠀
⠀
CJ set his sights on building a good @parkrunuk time, so I challenged him to go quicker than 25 minutes.⠀

Well, clearly that goal didn’t last long! 😂⠀

Absolutely steamed past 25 minutes, and there’s …
