Behind the scenes

LET’S CONNECT ON INSTAGRAM

After teaching my RIDE class at East of Eden last After teaching my RIDE class at East of Eden last week, I had the most grounding Ayurvedic Yoga Massage session with Eleonora @re_set_pause AYM combines deep tissue oil massage with assisted yoga stretches performed on the floor. Each session is tailored to what your body needs in the moment — whether that’s relaxation, energy, soothing or deeper muscle work. After a week of coaching, training and generally being “on”, it was exactly the reset my nervous system needed 🥰 I recorded the whole session, so I’ll be sharing a little more once I get a chance to edit the footage. What’s your favourite way to slow down or unwind? #AyurvedicMassage #RecoveryMatters #NervousSystemReset #FitnessRecovery #SlowDownMoments
Most people think results come from one big, heroi Most people think results come from one big, heroic workout. They don’t. They come from showing up for the unglamorous stuff again and again until suddenly it looks “impressive.” If you want structured workouts and a bit of accountability, my online classes are exactly that: simple, effective sessions you can do from home without overthinking it. Come train with us. #homeworkouts #onlinefitnessclasses #consistencyovermotivation #strengthtraining #fitnesscoach
Training for a marathon taught me something nobody Training for a marathon taught me something nobody puts on the medal photo: you don’t have to love every run. Some are slow, some are awkward, some you spend the first 10 minutes negotiating with yourself. The trick is becoming the kind of person who runs anyway. If you’re local and want some company while you build that habit, come run with us at my Loughton Runners meet-up aka West Essex Runners. All paces welcome, zero judgement, and yes… we can be convinced to have coffee involved afterwards. Drop a comment or DM if you want the details and I’ll send you the info to join us. 🏃‍♀️ #loughtonrunners #essexrunners #runningcommunity #marathontraining #runclub
Status: Recovery. Translation: Adaptation happens Status: Recovery. Translation: Adaptation happens here. This is the part most people try to skip. Progressive overload training only works if your body gets time to adapt to the stress you’ve applied. Muscle mass doesn’t build during the session. Strength gains don’t magically appear mid-set. They happen after. Recovery days. Deload weeks. Lower intensity sessions. Good sleep. Enough food. In my strength programming, we build recovery in on purpose. Because without it, you’re not progressing — you’re just accumulating fatigue. If your watch says Recovery, that’s not a setback. It’s a signal that your nervous system is adapting. Not every week needs heavier weights. Not every session needs to feel heroic. Sometimes the smartest training decision is doing a little bit less… on purpose. That’s how progressive overload actually works long term. #ProgressiveOverload #StrengthTrainingForWomen #TrainSmarter #RecoveryMatters #WomenWhoLift
Last year I had a full freeze around swimming. Not Last year I had a full freeze around swimming. Not dramatic. Just stuck. Overthinking. Avoiding. Making excuses. This year? I’ve signed up for the half mile at Swim Serpentine in September. 🏊🏾‍♀️ For some people, a half mile is light work. For me, it’s a big deal. Not because of the distance. Because of what it represents. And the dive? In bigger events it’s sometimes just how you enter the water. For me, it’s something I choose to do. It’s fun. It’s playful. It’s proof that I’m not in that frozen place anymore. My instructor is literally next to me cueing every detail. Head down. Arms tight. Commit. Which feels very on brand for life right now. If you want to see how this half mile prep unfolds in 2026, follow along. I’m documenting the wobbles and the wins @ellelinton 🥰 #SwimSerpentine #OpenWaterSwimming #AdultSwimmer #HalfMileSwim #WomenInSport
