At CrossFit Shropshire, we’ve always believed that the real results don’t just come from heavy lifts or heroic workouts—they come from consistency, community, and small wins that stack up over time.
And Carys is living proof of that.
We sat down with her in our latest podcast episode to chat about her journey. She shared how she started, what’s changed, and what keeps her coming back. It’s not always easy to fit training into a busy life, but she’s found her rhythm—and it’s inspiring.
Here’s what we can all take away from Carys’ progress:
Start where you are: You don’t have to be fit to begin. You get fit by showing up.
Routine beats intensity: You don’t need to train every day. A few solid sessions each week builds momentum.
Your mindset matters: When you focus on how you feel rather than just how you look, everything changes.
Which brings us to something new and exciting for everyone this summer…
The Summer Nutrition Kickstart
Whether you’re just starting or ready to take things up a notch, this is for you.
The Kickstart is our next evolution of the Golden Habits Challenge—focused on building real, sustainable habits that fit into your actual life (yes, even with kids, work, and everything else going on!).
You’ll choose your track:
Beginner: Simple, effective steps to get you moving, eating better, and feeling energised.
Next Level: More advanced guidance for those looking to tighten things up and perform at their best.
4 Easy Wins You Can Start Now:
- Drink More Water
Hydration is underrated. Aim for 2L a day—1L before midday. It helps with energy, focus, and recovery. - Eat More Protein
Try to get a palm-sized portion of protein at each meal. It supports strength, muscle tone, and keeps you fuller longer. - Move Your Body
Three to four workouts a week is the sweet spot. But walks, stretching, playing with the kids—those all count too. - Prioritise Sleep
Sleep is where recovery happens. 7–9 hours a night, no phones before bed, and a relaxing wind-down routine can work wonders.
If you’re ready to feel stronger, lighter, and more in control this summer, talk to a coach and join the Summer Kickstart. This isn’t about a diet or a quick fix. It’s about building a lifestyle that works for you, your family, and your future.
