Lanzarote 2014 with The Transformers
Hey!!
So, i've just returned from an amazing 7 day exercise holiday, where I was one of the coaches. I worked with a great company from London, called The Transformers (www.thetransformers.com), led by David Evans & Dr Agnes Chlebinska.
The Transformers are one of the top fitness & social groups in London and fast growing in popularity. They run over 250 classes a month throughout London with free bootcamps on weekends, where it gives the chance to have a great workout with like-minded people for free.
So, that's a bit about them - Where did I fit into all of this? David Evans is a good friend of mine from Swansea. He contacted me a few months ago asking if I would be able to coach some classes and clients in sunny Lanazote... I had to think very hard for about 2 seconds before I accepted. Bearing in mind, I wouldn't know anyone out there apart from David and Agnes, this was a scary thought, but I wanted to break out of my comfort zone.
The 7 days were jam packed with exercises classes ranging from 7am Bootcamps to Stretch & Meditation as the sun was setting in the background - There was something for everyone.
The people who came on this holiday were amazing. Some of them were already training with The Transformers, but some of them were totally new to this type, frequency and intensity of exercise
My coaching skills were really put to the test, as these guys were professionals - one of the members, Alex is one of the top Professors in Economics, so I had to make sure I was on my A-game!
Whether it was smashing their PB in a 5km run, or lifting more than they ever thought they could have in the gym, everyone made massive progress in their fitness.
We ate, slept and repeated exercise, healthy eating/living and positive mindsets (with a little partying too!) I was totally living the dream!
I can honesly say I have never met such a fantastic, inspiring group of indiviuals in my life, who love fitness as much as I do and live life to the full! I hope I will be invited to work with The Transformers again in the future and also these amazing group of people.
If you're ever in London (Or live in London), and want to improve your life, look this company up - You will not regret it!
So, i'm back in Swansea today, armed and ready with new motivation and skills for my clients - They are going to be working at a whole new level now to reach their goals and smashing their PBs.
In best of health and good training,
Mike
