Marina's Fitness insight

In addition to her role as our membership consultant, did you know that Marina is also a qualified fitness instructor?

Below you can read her latest insight....
Let’s talk about something that becomes extra important once we hit our 30s and beyond… building muscle and getting stronger.

After age 30, women naturally start to lose muscle mass at a rate of around 3–8% per decade, and this speeds up after menopause!

This is called sarcopenia, and it’s one of the main reasons we feel weaker, more tired, and more prone to injuries as we get older.


But here’s the empowering part:
 Strength training is proven to slow down and even reverse this muscle loss.


Here’s what the research tells us:

 1. Strength training improves muscle and metabolism.
Studies published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research show that women who strength-train just 2–3 times per week can increase muscle size and strength, even in their 50s, 60s, and 70s. More muscle also means a faster metabolism, which supports weight management long-term.


 2. It protects your bones.
Women start to lose bone density in their 30s, and this speeds up during menopause. Research from the National Institutes of Health shows that lifting weights creates pressure on the bones which signals the body to build stronger, denser bone tissue. That means fewer injuries and less risk of osteoporosis.


 3. It improves hormone balance and mental wellbeing.
Strength training has been shown to reduce stress hormones and increase endorphins. Many women report better sleep, more energy, and improved mood when they lift regularly.


 4. It supports healthy ageing.
Long-term studies show that women with more muscle mass have better mobility, fewer aches and pains, and a higher quality of life as they age. Strength = independence.


And remember! you don’t need extreme workouts or heavy barbells to get results.

Consistent sessions, smart training, and gradually lifting a little heavier over time make ALL the difference.


At Innovate Fitness Harrogate, every time you lift, push, pull, or challenge yourself, you’re doing something your future self will thank you for.

We’re building strength, confidence, and longevity. 


Let’s keep lifting, ladies our bodies deserve it.

WELCOME TO MILLIE

We are delighted to welcome Millie to the team as our new fitness coach.


​



















Millie joins us for the start of November  and you'll see her take classes on her return from holiday later in the month 

Here is Millie's bio ...

I’ve worked in the fitness industry for five years, after discovering my passion for Olympic Weightlifting - a journey that inspired me to transition from my career in Interior Architecture.
Focussing on getting strong - not skinny - in the gym completely transformed my mindset and my life, and I want every female to experience that empowerment!
I now compete in Weightlifting, but when I’m not under a barbell, you’ll probably find me listening to country music, line dancing (yes, really!), or getting dressed up to enjoy a glass of prosecco or an Aperol spritz.


-------------------------------------------------------------

LAST CALL - CHRISTMAS PARTY - 6TH DEC 

The deadline for signing up to our Christmas party has being set for WED 5TH NOVEMBER - You can speak to any of our team for details on how to book on.

Date: Saturday 6th December
Venue: The Pavilions, Great Yorkshire Showground
Price - £43.50 per person. Deposit of £10 per person needed at time of booking, balance due mid November.

MEMBERS FEEDBACK SURVEY

It was great too see so many replies from our recent members survey.

We value all feedback as a business that allows us to maintain or grow our current level of service.

We have already started to work through the responses and hope that you enjoy seeing the improvements over the coming weeks.

-------------------------------------------------------------

LESLIE'S NUTRITION TIP

Finding the Sweet Spot for Health Effort

Focus on the habits that yield the biggest impact—like sleep, movement, and whole foods—rather than chasing marginal gains from extreme or costly “optimization” tactics.


Real results come from getting really consistent with the basics:

• get >150 minutes of moderate/75 minutes of vigorous exercise per week + resistance train 2x/week
**you hit this goal by attending at least 3 classes per week!**

• sleep 7-8 hours a night at least 5 days per week (more on this in the weeks to come as I know it’s a challenging one for all of us!)

• eat whole foods, keep processed food to a minimum and make good quality protein and veg the star of every meal

**Need help creating these consistent nutrition habits? Our 6 and 12-week Nutrition Programs will guide you in establishing the mindset and behaviors that drive consistent, sustainable healthy habits.

Interested in learning more? Contact Coach Leslie to set up a consult!

New Coach - coming  soon

We are excited to have a new coach joining us in the coming weeks. 

You may see Emma coaching alongside our existing coaching team whilst she learns the ropes, please feel free to say hi and give her a warm welcome to the Innovate team.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Child Policy

With the summer holidays in full swing, we just wanted too remind all our members of the current child policy at Innovate, in case you need to bring the little ones whilst taking part in a class....

Child Policy at Innovate Fitness & Wellbeing
At Innovate, we’re proud to be a family-friendly gym and love that our members feel comfortable bringing their children along. Kids are welcome to be present while a parent or guardian takes part in a class — but just a heads-up, they can’t join in the class itself.
To keep things safe and enjoyable for everyone, we ask that children stay seated and behave calmly during class times. For their safety (and out of respect for other members), we can’t allow kids to run around or play on the gym floor.
If a child isn’t able to follow these guidelines, we’ll need the parent or guardian to leave the class and head home with them. We really appreciate your understanding here — this helps us keep the space positive and inclusive for everyone, and it means we can continue being a kid-friendly gym without needing to move toward a no-children policy.
Thanks so much for helping us keep Innovate a great space for all our members!
– The Innovate Team

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Bank Holiday

Just a reminder that we will be closed on the 25th August to give our fabulous coaching team a very well deserved break.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Pilates @ Innovate
Pilates sessions are up an running at Innovate on Tuesdays at 10:45am and 4pm.
The session's are run by Morag, who some of you may already know as she is one of our many lovely members here at Innovate.
If you would like to take part, you can do so by contacting Morag directly on 07789442504.

JULY UPDATE

7/2/2025

1 Comment

 
We're halfway through the year already - and just as the weather seasons change, so do the Innovate 'seasons'!

In this month's update:
- Meet the new team members!
- Members-Only Summer special offers
- Kate's leaving do

Picture

👋 MEET OUR TWO NEW TEAM MEMBERS 👋 

Please welcome Craig and Louise, whose first day was today!

Craig Williams is our new General Manager.
He’ll be taking the baton from Kate on overseeing the day to day running of the studio and team, looking after all our client care (memberships, client queries, accountability etc ) and all the 1,001 operational admin tasks that ensure everything runs smoothly in the background. 

Here’s Craig’s biography / intro. 

I started my career in Health & Fitness at the age of 20 after completing a sport and exercise BTEC diploma alongside completing my level 2 fitness instructor and level 3 personal trainer qualifications at the same time.

I started at a local gym in Wibsey, moving on to continue in the health and fitness sector with Marriott, Anytime Fitness, DW Fitness & Nuffield.

Over the last 5 years I have gone on to manage combined leisure clubs and spa's under Hilton.

As well as having a 20 yr career in health & fitness, I also have maintained an active lifestyle playing various sports such as football & squash.

I currently maintain my fitness by training at my local gym in Ilkley and playing Tag Rugby, in which I play in local leagues with my son and have played for West Yorkshire at representative level.

After working in spa's for the last few years, I wanted to get back into the health & fitness sector.

Innovate is exciting for me as it was clear to see that it's not about just delivering classes, but more on helping our clients as individuals reach their own personal goals. 
With that in mind I am looking forward to meeting our clients and assisting with their journeys.

An interesting fact about me …. I was born with a form of club foot, which left my right leg and ankle underdeveloped and weak. 
I also managed to snap my Achilles on the same leg 10 years ago!!
People tend to find this interesting due to the amount of Tag Rugby I play, but it also has given me some good learnings on both injury recovery and prevention.

I am a dad of 2, with a 12yr old daughter and 16yr old son. 
Both share my love of rugby, getting involved with playing/training and all visiting the Leeds Rhinos together


===========

Louise Claxton is our new membership consultant …. (taking over the reigns from Georgia….)

Hi everyone! 
I’m Louise — super excited to be part of the Innovate team and get stuck into helping continue the buzzing, supportive community here.

My background is a mix of high-energy roles — I’ve worked in the automotive world with brands like Toyota and The Motorist, and I’m actually a qualified mechanic too. 
I also did event planning for European car tours, so I’m used to fast-paced, hands-on environments. 
But after a previous job that completely drained me, I knew I needed to get back to what I genuinely love — fitness, people, and doing something that actually feels good for the soul. Being part of Innovate is already bringing that spark back!

Outside the gym, I’m still all about the adrenaline — I’m learning to drift cars, I used to race and compete in motocross, and I love anything outdoorsy or active. 
Basically, if it gets my heart rate up, I’m in.

I joined Innovate because I wanted to be part of something real — a space where fitness isn’t intimidating, where people lift each other up, and where I can help others rediscover what makes them feel strong and confident too. 
I’m also buzzing to bring some fresh ideas to events and member engagement.

Can’t wait to meet you all — come say hi!

🎓 The Power of Protein 

If you’re looking to recover faster, build lean muscle or stay fuller for longer—protein is your best friend. But it’s not just about shakes or chicken! Here are some smart ways to up your intake:
​
  • Add Greek yoghurt or cottage cheese to snacks and breakfasts.
  • Use eggs or tofu as a base for quick lunches.
  • Keep protein-rich snacks handy: boiled eggs, edamame, beef jerky, or a protein bar.
  • Include a source of protein in every meal—aim for 20–30g each time.

Here’s a quick, protein-packed recipe to try:

🍳 Protein Power Breakfast Wrap

Ingredients:
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 chicken sausages 
  • Handful of spinach
  • 30g grated cheese
  • 1 wholegrain wrap
  • 1 tbsp Greek yoghurt or cottage cheese
  • Pinch of salt & pepper
Instructions:
  1. Cook the sausages following instructions on the packet.
  2. Scramble the eggs with spinach and seasoning.
  3. Layer into your wrap with cheese and Greek yoghurt.
  4. Wrap up and toast in a pan or press for 1–2 mins each side.
  5. Done!

May has officially arrived—and with it, longer days, warmer weather, and fresh opportunities to feel your best! Whether you're training for strength, mobility, or simply to stay energised, this month is packed with ways to keep your body moving and your mindset strong.



Firstly, a huge congratulations to our incredible Operations & Fitness Manager, Kate, who just celebrated her 4-year anniversary with Innovate! 💥

Kate is the definition of dedication—an amazing coach, a powerhouse leader, and the heartbeat of our community. From keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes to motivating members with her energy and expertise, she does it all (and always with a smile!). 💪❤️ Thank you Kate!



🔥 May Mobility Challenge – Starts Soon!

Our 10-Day Mobility Challenge kicks off on 12th May—and sign-up goes live on 5th May!

Expect daily mobility-focused workouts to improve flexibility, ease stiffness, and help you move better, faster, and pain-free. It's suitable for all levels and a brilliant way to get back into rhythm after the Easter break.


🏋️ SOS Sunday - 18th May

An opportunity to give Sisters of Steel - our progressive strength training programme a try. A drop in morning (11am - 1pm) to have a go with a barbell, talk to Kate about the Sisters program and for existing Sisters to come and do some extra lifting!
Look out for the session on GTU to book and for more details soon!



🥊 Boxing Sundays Are Here!

We’re bringing the heat with Boxing on the first Sunday of every month—starting this month (4th May)! Meaning time to ensure it's regularly in your schedule.


☀️ Exercising in Warmer Weather
As the temperatures rise, so does the importance of training smart. Summer workouts can be empowering and energising, but they do require a little extra care.

​Here are some key things to keep in mind:
  • Stay Hydrated: Drink water before, during, and after your workout. Add a pinch of sea salt or an electrolyte tab if you're sweating heavily.
  • Time it Right: Try to exercise during the cooler parts of the day—early mornings or evenings—to avoid peak heat.
  • Wear Breathable Clothing: Opt for moisture-wicking fabrics and light colours to help keep you cool.
  • Listen to Your Body: If you’re feeling light-headed or overheated, take a break. Rest and recovery are just as important as the session itself.
  • Cool Down Properly: Don't skip your stretch! Cooling the body slowly helps with muscle recovery and lowers risk of soreness.
To support your warm-weather training, we’ve included these cooling, energising recipes to fuel your body and help you recover:

🍉 Watermelon & Mint Refresher Smoothie
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups watermelon (cubed, seeds removed)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • A few fresh mint leaves
  • ½ cup coconut water
  • Ice cubes (optional for extra chill)
Instructions:
  1. Add watermelon, lime juice, mint, and coconut water to a blender.
  2. Blend until smooth. Add ice if desired.
  3. Pour into a chilled glass and enjoy immediately for a hydrating post-workout refresh!

🥪 Summer Protein Wraps
Ingredients:
  • 1 wholegrain tortilla or wrap
  • 100g grilled chicken breast (or tofu for veggie option)
  • ½ avocado, sliced
  • A handful of baby spinach or rocket
  • Cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 tbsp natural Greek yoghurt or hummus
  • Pinch of sea salt & black pepper
Instructions:
  1. Warm the wrap slightly to make it easier to fold.
  2. Spread Greek yoghurt or hummus as the base.
  3. Layer with chicken, avocado, greens, and tomatoes.
  4. Season, roll tightly, and slice in half.
  5. Great for a light, high-protein lunch on-the-go!

🥥 Coconut Chia Berry Pots
​
Ingredients:
  • ½ cup chia seeds
  • 2 cups coconut milk (or almond milk)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • Mixed fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
  • Optional: shredded coconut, granola topping
Instructions:
  1. Mix chia seeds, coconut milk, and sweetener in a bowl or jar. Stir well.
  2. Let sit for 10 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
  3. Refrigerate overnight (or at least 3-4 hours).
  4. Top with fresh berries and extras before serving. Deliciously cooling and nutrient-rich!
