A Carlisle personal trainer has been holding online Fitter in February classes with the team at local financial planning firm, Stan Sherlock Associates.
Iain Martin Weight Loss and Strength Coach planned a fun, interactive fitness course over 4 weeks for the whole Stan Sherlock Associates team. Held on Thursdays throughout February, each week focused on a different body area, including quads, glutes and abdominals before finishing with an all-round session in the final week.
“Strength and resistant training is important to support general health and weight loss. The sessions had to be tailored to ensure they could be easily completed at home, without any special equipment. I focused on providing exercises which could be scaled in difficulty to suit individual abilities. The final session was faster paced as I’d understood what each person was capable of, and they’d developed in confidence too. It was a lot of fun!”
Iain Martin, Weight Loss and Strength Coach
The sessions were embraced with everyone taking part including Bobby Sherlock, Director and Practice Principal.
‘It’s been a great way of getting us altogether for something fun while improving our fitness in what’s been a difficult month of lockdown. Iain was brilliant at getting everyone involved and making sure the exercises were structured to be challenging but safe.”
“We were keen to recognise that some team members were juggling work and other responsibilities such as taking care of young children. We didn’t want the sessions to be another stress and Iain encouraged the children to get involved and some were even used as weights. It was the highlight of each week.”

Office Manager, Sandra Sproat said:
“I’d become less active during lockdown and welcomed the chance to do some exercise. Iain was brilliant. He was so encouraging, and I enjoyed each session. Taking part online during the working day was really easy as all I had to do was put on my joggers and log on. I feel better for taking part.”
