Fitness Instructor Earl Cottrell’s Hints & Tips
Photos by Tito Nicolau at FroginRedTie As usual, Power Plate training session with Fitness Instructor Earl Cottrell at Market Sports gym was great! I always feel refreshed and revitalised after a session like this. Earl is a brilliant trainer! And I keep telling him that. Click Here to rad my previous experience with him. And today, I decided to share with you some of the useful tips, hints and advice he has given me.

His Name is Earl! Meet my new Trainer at Market Sports Gym.
Photos by Tito Nicolau at FrogInRedTie I was rather annoyed when the management of Market Sports gym transferred my personal trainer Lucian Comiza to a new branch of theirs. Apparently he is so good that Luciana Ramos (then manager of the gym), decided to take her star performer with her, when she moved to the new branch The Fitness Mosaic. As much as I enjoyed working out with Lucian, I am in no way going to trek all the way to Chalk Farm, although it isn’t that far from my neighbourhood in Old Street. But the whole point of going to a gym in the neighbourhood is because one can just walk there. When everything one needs…

Outdoor Boot Camp with Market Sports.
I’ve never been to Boot Camp before so I decided to join this class when I heard others talking about it at the gym. Tom McDaid, fitness manager at Market Sports conducted this class on a sunny afternoon last Wednesday. There were eight of us in the class and we started by jogging to a local park. The Boot Camp involved a full body workout. Perfect free style exercises! The start was fun and everyone was clearly enjoying themselves. As time flew by, the exercises got harder but you could tell that everyone was determined to do their best. I had to take a few breaks in between to catch my…

Popped into the YMCA London Barbican for dinner and absolutely loved the delicious rice and tasty chicken. I went back the net day and had two portions of curry chicken! I mean, the dish was so delici0us with a perfect blend of spices and flavours. Surely this had to be cooked with passion? I met the chef immediately and congratulated her on her handiwork.
