The Lodge - Health and Wellbeing

Over 50 and want to feel stronger and more confident in what your body can do?

"Strong for Life" 8-week programme starts next week at The Lodge.

This isn’t a bootcamp, and you don’t need to already be fit or confident in a gym.

It’s for people over 50 who want to:

• Build useful, everyday strength
• Improve balance and confidence
• Move more comfortably
• Get back into exercise after time away
• Learn how to train safely and effectively
• Feel more capable

It may also suit you if aches, previous injuries or a health condition have made getting back into exercise feel a little less straightforward.

Over the 8 weeks, we’ll combine small-group coached sessions at The Lodge with guided workouts you can follow between sessions, plus support around movement, recovery, stress and nutrition.

The aim isn’t to make you dependent on a weekly class.

It’s to give you the confidence, knowledge and strength to keep progressing long after the 8 weeks are finished.

Strong for Life

📅 Starts Thursday 17 September
⏰ 6:30–7:30pm
📍 The Lodge, Helston
👥 Maximum 8 people
💷 £175 launch price for the full 8-week programme
(Future intakes will be £225)

The first places have already been taken and I’m opening the remaining places this week.

If you’ve been thinking about getting stronger but aren’t sure where to start, send me the word **STRONG** and I’ll have a chat with you about whether the programme is suitable.

You don’t need to be fit before you start.

That’s what the programme is for.

Happy 4th Birthday to the Lodge! Can you believe it's been 4 years since we created this amazing space. We still think we have the best views. Here are some photos from the build.... We are really happy with how we have built things over the last 4 years, here's to many more! We are also currently taking on clients as we have a select few spaces in the Diary, interested? Please send us a message and we will get back to you

Luke is running another over 50’s course, ready for September, interested? Take a look 👀

Want to feel stronger, move better and have more confidence in what your body can do?

Strong for Life is my new 8-week small-group programme designed specifically for people over 50 who want to improve their strength, fitness, balance and mobility without feeling like they need to “get fit” before they start.

We start from where you are now and build from there.
Across the 8 weeks we'll work on strength, cardiovascular fitness, balance, mobility and confidence with exercise. But I've also built the programme to look beyond the sessions themselves.

You'll get:
✓ 8 coached small-group sessions at The Lodge
✓ Exercises with different levels to suit your ability
✓ Access to my coaching app
✓ Additional workouts you can complete at home
✓ Simple habit and lifestyle coaching
✓ Guidance around movement, recovery and nutrition
✓ Progress tracking and regular check-ins
✓ Support from me throughout the programme

The aim isn't just to get you through eight weeks of exercise.
It's to help you become stronger and more capable for the things you actually want to do, whether that's keeping active with the family, getting back to hobbies, walking further, feeling steadier on your feet or simply making everyday life feel easier.

Starts Thursday 17 September
6:30pm
Small group places are limited

Spring is the perfect time to start moving better… not just doing more.

As we come out of winter and head towards longer, lighter days… it’s a great opportunity to focus on how your body feels — not just how it looks.
If you’ve been feeling:
• Stiff getting up in the morning
• A bit unsteady or weaker than you used to
• Held back by niggles, aches or old injuries
👉 You’re not alone… and more importantly, you’re not stuck like that.

Move Better, Feel Better, Live Better

Over the past few months, life has been incredibly challenging.
Losing Mum, and then Dad so soon after, has been something I’m still processing.

It’s been a time of grief, reflection, and trying to find some normality again.

I just wanted to take a moment to say a genuine thank you to all of my clients.
For your patience with last-minute changes, rescheduled sessions, cancellations, and times where my availability has been limited — I don’t take any of that for granted.

Your understanding and support have meant more than you probably realise.
It’s incredibly sad that they’re both gone, especially so close together… but there’s comfort in knowing they’re now at peace and reunited once more.
Gone, but never forgotten.

I owe so much of who I am — both personally and in my work — to their support, guidance, and the values they instilled in me.

As I start to move forward, I’ll be returning to more normality, with regular availability resuming over the coming weeks.

I’ll also be continuing my education and development, so I can provide an even better service, support more people, and keep improving what I offer.
Thank you for sticking with me through this.

Luke

Very true words! A good therapist is there to aid the body in healing and support the understanding in a clear and concise manner. Not, to instil fear and dependence on one modality of treatment.
