Peet Rothwell Fitness

“YOU’RE LUCKY TO HAVE YOUR OWN GYM” - I BUILT this gym starting so I could train when my broken brain would finally feel ok and I would have energy. Sometimes midnight/1 am. I BUILT this gym so I could work whilst able to rest enough to survive with extremely limited daily energy and neurological brain power. To SURVIVE in the new world on fire I was thrown into . I BUILT this gym time and time again with funds that I didn’t have or any spare for emergencies or sometimes even FOOD (for me because my animals are priority).
“YOUR LUCKY TO HAVE RECOVERED SO MUCH TO WORK AND LIVE ON YOUR OWN” - I BUILT this new brain, through fear, siezures, Perseverance, BELIEF and never give in desire to die trying (sometimes early on had wished I had 🤯). - “BUT YOU LOOK OK, LUCKY TO HAVE THOSE GENETICS AND PHYSIQUE YOU MUST BE FULLY RECOVERED”. - I FU***NG BUILT this physique from ASHES. From Re-Learning how to walk and being told I would never again do it.
There is a HUGE difference between being Lucky and being “Blessed”. I am Blessed to have been him and to have the desire to make him proud.
My name is Peet Rothwell and I have BUILT HIM THROUGH FIRE!!!!
Time to keep building. I will build a life and a future that seemed impossible just a couple of small years ago. And it continues on a painful 🧠😶‍🌫️ but defiant Sunday. WE ALL RISE. Happy Sunday my power people! ❤️.

Fighting to be the last man standing. Fighting just to be there. At WAR to be better than before!!!
Stepping forward in ALL life today. Carried by this journey. Greatful to have the chance to even hope.

Me vs Me. The new me that I’m left with I’m DETERMINED will put him to shame. In life not just this daft Bodybuilding business 💁🏻‍♂️. I’m already so much better than him at so much, a better person, more humility, more aware of so much around me. Just need to keep getting stronger and keep being brave. My goals are so important to keep me on that train track. But they are also who I was and who I AM. Bring on tomorrow let’s be better again. 🧠💪🏼🐺🏆❤️.
We all rise ❤️.

Working hard for something we don’t care about is called stress. Working hard for something we love is called passion.

Call outs at WORLD level. 2023 IFBB World Championships. Something that I made happen and will forever be proud of. “IT” was World level but I was far from it. I will have to prove that I can before it could ever happen again. And that will mean so many victories in life and health to get there. The future is on its way!!!

The harder it gets to visualise making it back. The more I KNOW I’m going to.
Although everything feels like a slowmotion replay of a storm right now and of late. I know I’ll be proud of what I found in myself through it. That’s all we can do and when the time comes that’s all that eill matter. Win Lose or Draw.
We are all going to make it.

Try my best and give my ALL to still make it there through EVERYTHING. Then realise at the end that it’s the only reason I made it through ANYTHING!!!
Sep 7th couldn’t be more important right now.

Somehow the sun came back without you. My boy was with me in all of the best moments and times of my life. And he was right by my side through the worst (bofore this). My lil Bandit. Loki ❤️.

IN THE MIX

Have always been humble through my goals and ambitions and always focused on ME and being the best I CAN be, and if that wins then it was enough. (Have seen people smash 2nd place trophies backstage)

But Last season was the 1st for a long time that my work didn’t even get me in the mix. Everything that is put into this process simply HAS to count for something by the end of the journey.

For unexpected reasons beyond my control I was unable to travel and to bounce back and improve into the next show. This also doesn’t sit right.

None of it will sit right and there will be no conclusion to my journey through this sport and industry unless I can make it COUNT. The pride and belief from what I fought back from and the euphoria of finally achieving against odds and opinions (including my own) has faded somewhat. And this, has effected my strength day to day, my structure and focus to achieve and move FOREWARD with this disability and I just simply can NOT allow it.
The last weeks have been tougher and more testing than ever and I haven’t found the extra strength and bravery to push through (and rested my brain through it’s most painful, convulsive and sensative period since it happened).
Record number of clients (SO BLESSED) and now 14 days of storms and torrential rain to fight through with my outside fitness business TODAYYYY……..is the day I put all the pieces together and work as hard and as smart and as brave as possible to show up and at least be “In the mix”
P.S there’s 3 South Coast Championships in there (of my 4)

10 years ago this month, my 9 1/2 stone skinny ass started work to try and compete that year with the goal of competing art the .
I failed and fell, got back up. Learned more, learned about myself, attempted again and finally after 5 years of trying I qualified (in Uk you have to qualify for the Arnold unlike Spain).
Days after celebrating the chance was stolen from me 🧠🤢😩.
But I SAID IT…….and in Sep 23 I stepped on the Arnold Stage for the 2nd time.
Has been a tough ride since and didn’t make it back there (or the British Finals I was invited to) for a number of reasons.
But it’s 2025 now. And a DECADE later i’m going to once again vow to go BACK!!!!!!!
Time to start constructing a trip to Madrid 🧱🔨🪚💪🏻💪🏻. Via????? 😜😜😜 there’s only one route for me!!!!
