What do all sports have in common?
Over the recent weeks we have witnessed: The 6 Nations Rugby The Commonwealth Games The London Marathon
Come into Wg-Fit and you’ll meet: Kettlebell Sport lifters Full contact Karate fighters Mountain Bikers Thai Boxers BJJ players Dads Mums Office Jockeys
What do they all have in common?
They are all people All sports are played by people
It’s all 206 bones powered by muscles and wrapped in skin. All of it controlled to perfection by the central nervous system
Your central nervous system
We are essentially the same.
Which means, at the fundamental level, we all train the same.
Go to any gym, anywhere. Or rather, any decent gym with good coaches, anywhere. And you’ll see:
Squatting movements Hip Hinging movements Pressing movements Pulling movements Rotational movements Locomotive movements
Yes, the exact nature of the movements may alter. One gym my prefer Pistol Squats to Barbell Squats. May prefer kettlebell lifts instead of bodyweight lifts
But at the fundamental level, it’s all the same.
The difference comes when looking at the individuals needs.
John may be better with a barbell squat, but Jack is better with a Goblet Squat Angie is better doing single leg work, but Archie needs bilateral lifts
And so on, and so forth.
How do you know if you are John, Jack, Angie or Archie?

That’s where a good coach steps in. And that’s what makes the “good gyms” stand apart from the rest.
If you’re struggling to find a good gym, have you tried online training? I’m currently rolling out my online programs here: https://marketplace.trainheroic.com/#/org/wild-geese-fitness-training
