Data is everywhere but what actually matters?
With the rise of the internet, social media, and now AI, we’ve got more data than ever at our fingertips. Chances are, you’re wearing some of it right now. Smartwatches and fitness trackers are everywhere, and I’d estimate that over 70% of our members use them in some way. In the gym, we’re seeing more […]
The process doesn’t always equal the outcome…
‘Be obsessed with the process, not the outcome’. For anyone who has listened to me over the last few years you will probably be familiar with this statement. I first heard it from James Clear (author of Atomic Habits) and fell in LOVE with it. The gist is that we can’t control the outcome but […]
What the stock market crash can teach us about our health.
*It goes without saying that this IS NOT financial advice* Our line of work regularly brings up this interesting phenomenon. Your whole world lives and dies on certain trends, forecasts and evolvements that the outside world doesn’t even know about. We get really caught up in what is going on in our world without stopping […]
Make the ‘bad’ days better.
One of the things we are HUGE on here at Elevate98 is CPD or Continued Professional Development. Myself and the team spend lots of time and budget on making sure we can grow and develop our service. This year a big focus has been on interpersonal skills, behaviour change and self-awareness. Why you may ask? […]
Fight the crocodile closest to the boat.
The good thing about the modern world is that information and advice has never been so readily or cheaply available. The bad thing about the modern world is that information and advice has never been so readily or cheaply available. The other big issue is the credibility (or lack) of the people selling you the […]
Those obstacles (excuses) are just life.
We hear it almost everyday from people. I’ll just do X (start training, get my steps up, create new habits around nutrition etc) when everything calms down and I’m less busy. This is from an exercise and wellness perspective but there are other ways this shows up too. I went through a period where I […]
Pennies and Notes both make £££
I generally review our business and my personal finances quarterly. The personal one generally shows why Edinburgh’s coffee shops are still in business, anyone else or just me? When it comes to the business finances I try and make at least some savings every quarter. There are generally two ways to do this (and this […]
Nutrition made simple.
We are in the final stages of our 6 week new year shred and we’ve seen some fantastic results. Beyond this, we are putting the final touches on something revolutionary for our testing weeks. A 3x per year ‘Health MOT’ if you will that combines our traditional strength testing with longevity, nutrition and wellness. More […]
It’s the start of the day that’s the issue…
We are right in the mix of our 6 week shred. This is an in-house programme for members who need a bit more guidance with their nutrition and lifestyle habits and want to improve body composition. After working with 1000s of people over the last 8 years there is something that consistently let’s people down… […]
Find the fitness that suits you.
We live in a world of absolutes. There is a constant urge for ‘optimal’ or ‘perfection’. Both myself, and us as a business, get caught up in this from time to time. We think of ways to make the training plans or gym even more ‘optimal’. While there are definitely better and worse ways to […]
