Why Bear Fitness?
Why the name? Or why you should train with me?
Well… the name comes from very wholesome roots. As a child, I was obsessed with the Three Bears and insisted that I was called Baby Bear by my family. The name stuck (although I’ve now dropped the baby part), and since my upbringing and family had such an impact in developing my love of fitness, my desire to help others become fitter, and my belief that with the right support anything is possible, I thought why not make that the name of the company?
Why you should train with me?
Firstly, I have qualifications coming out of my ears: a degree from The University of Exeter in Exercise and Sports Science (with a dissertation specialising in sports psychology), I hold the highest level of PT qualification, I am qualified to train Diabetic and obese clients as well as those with sport-specific injuries, I have been a PT for 5 years and have performed over 5,000 hours of Personal Training, and I’ve worked and written for Men's Health & Runners World publications.
But the real reason you should train with me is because I care. Staying fit and healthy is difficult at the best of times and if you're got to make training fit around work and family life, you need to know that the person you are training with has got your back. I'm there with my clients every step of the way.
I get genuine joy and satisfaction seeing my clients move better, fully enjoying their improved lifestyle and investing in their future. (I also may get just a tiny bit of joy from making you do that extra burpee when you really don't want to…)
What will a session comprise of?
With a background in professional sport, our sessions will be comprised of an understanding of how your body moves and assessing any imbalances/dysfunctional movement you have and addressing them. We will use goal-based strength and conditioning that is progressive and encouraging. To build a stronger body and mind.
The end goal?
I aim to educate and provide a space and platform for you to progress and develop. Whether that is towards a specific event or for a broader goal. As we continue to train together you will understand the principles of training and be able to apply them yourself without my help. Our training is for you to develop and eventually no longer require me.

Get in the know about curved treadmills: - Link in bio. - Keep your eyes peeled for a cheeky run event coming your way in April! - Now here’s a bit of the info on treadmills you were after: ππ Firstly, what is a curved treadmill, and how does it work? A curved treadmill is a non-motorized, self-powered treadmill that has a concave shape (hence the name!). This U-shape style is designed to be more ergonomic and is promoted to help reduce joint stress while feeling more natural, compared to a standard flat non-motorized treadmill. The design of the treadmill promotes/enables the point of contact from the foot to the treadmill to be ahead of the centre of mass. This makes the experience of running on a curved treadmill significantly different from that of running on a non-motorized treadmill or running on the ground. The belt of the treadmill is made up of slats, rather than a continuous piece, as you speed up your running pace, the belt will start moving faster in return. So, how fast you want to run is entirely up to you at any given moment while using a curved treadmill by adjusting your speed and stride. However, you’ll quickly find that it’s easy to get moving FAST on it, which is why it’s not ideal for everyone.

T-shirt: Feel Your All! β - Want a way to improve your fitness and longevity? Of course you do! - The 3 biggest indicators of not just a long life but a healthy one are: Our social networks- face to face real life interactions. It doesn’t matter the quality of these either. You just have to talk to a number of different people throughout the day. - Cardiovascular health. This based on aerobic abilities. - Amount of muscle we have! - That’s the big 3 (diet is in there too but it makes it too long an Instagram post) - How to implement that information into your day to day. Social - go talk to someone. Training check out the below: - To build aerobic fitness you need to use longer intervals. Longer intervals at a continuous effort will not only drive greater levels of adaptation respiratory wise, but also teach you to FEEL* your zones, manage your breathing and build efficiency within the movements you perform. So start going for longer and more often.. 10:00 x Ski or Row 10:00 x Assault bike 5:00 x Ski or Row 5:00 x Assault bike 2:30 x Ski or Row 2:30 x Assault bike Execution: Rest 1-3 minutes between intervals, although you shouldn’t ‘need’ a rest, you should finish each interval feeling you can continue Intensity: 7/10RPE Constraints: Prioritise nasal only breathing or work to maintain a control breathing rhythm *hence the picture.. it all ties together! - #londontraining #getstrong #fitforlife #functionalfitness #sw1fitness #sw1personaltrainer #weights #weightloss #londonvictoria #cardio #bearfitness #bearfitnesslondon #training #victoria #sarahryderpt #challenge #running #ptlondon #beginner #runworkout #sas #saswdw #RTV #victoria #rooftop #marathontraining #run #lululemonambassador #thesweatlifeButton -

Ryde(r) or Die: With just 3 blocks of 12 minutes, this is the type of workout you will love to hate. (Yes my photos have nothing to do with this workout. But can we just take a minute for being on holiday. Corrrr blimey) βοΈβοΈβοΈ - - Conditioning pieces can sometimes feel like you are a hot mess from start to finish. This workout can allow you some time to recover between blocks and the ability choose what you will get from the session. So that chance for a bit of variety from just one workout - what a result. Session detail: 0-12 minutes: 2km Run (curved runner, or outside or treadmill whatever you have access to) 12-24 minutes: 2km Ski Erg 24 - 36 minutes: 5km Assault Bike. **Do not start the next block until the clock reads 12 minutes or 24 minutes depending on which section you are on. Options for mixing it up: 1. Take the first to blocks pretty easy and then try and blast the last one. This option lends itself to the name of the workout. (And me Surname) 2. Go big on every block and allow yourself more time to recover from a more challenging bout of work. 3. When are you feeling like you can’t get up for a session - just see where you get to in each individual block. It’s a fantastic workout with easy repeatability. A great one for the cardio lovers. And always a bit of a challenge to see how much your mind will start to play tricks on you… Its not for the faint hearted! - #londontraining #getstrong #fitforlife #functionalfitness #sw1fitness #sw1personaltrainer #weights #weightloss #londonvictoria #cardio #bearfitness #bearfitnesslondon #training #victoria #sarahryderpt #challenge #running #ptlondon #beginner #runworkout #sas #saswdw #RTV #victoria #rooftopButton -

Pulling into the week βοΈ - How to do more.. or your first pull up - 1. Use the EMOM format EMOM: every minute on the minute Pick a number of pull ups you can do repeat that until you can’t do any more. Or for 5 rounds. 2. Weighted pull ups Check out the video.. hitting a 7.5kg pull up here. Once you can pull with a bit of weight it will make BW feel a bit easier π€πΌ 3. Negative reps Jump up so you start at the top of the pull up, then decent slowly (3 seconds of decent is great) then repeat. This is the one to do if you can’t yet do a pull up. 4. Do them often. This is obvious but if you want to improve add them into your training as often as you can. - Get in touch if you need some help unlocking the pull up! - - #londontraining #getstrong #fitforlife #functionalfitness #sw1fitness #sw1personaltrainer #weights #weightloss #londonvictoria #cardio #bearfitness #bearfitnesslondon #training #victoria #sarahryderpt #challenge #running #ptlondon #beginner #runworkout #sas #saswdw #RTV #victoria #rooftopButton -

Surprise ππ€ͺ - 2023 let’s see whatcha got. - My current training has allowed me to work on those weaker spots. And boy have I noticed them! Seeing your moment through data points and graphs is my cup of tea! - At the moment when running I have a lack of organisation as I fatigue in my running stride and an imbalance (as we all do). Rather than keep the foot on the gas and following any old program. I am using some targeted programming to get the body moving nice and smooth! π§ - - @sam_pepys_performance - - #londontraining #getstrong #fitforlife #functionalfitness #sw1fitness #sw1personaltrainer #weights #weightloss #londonvictoria #cardio #bearfitness #bearfitnesslondon #training #victoria #sarahryderpt #challenge #running #ptlondon #beginner #runworkout #sas #saswdw #RTV #victoria #rooftopButton -

Leaving this here for me to remember… π§ - - If you think you are beaten, you are. If you think you dare not, you don’t. If you like to win but think you can’t, It’s almost certain that you won’t.

Leap Year - Last hop skip and a jump to close out the year. - The hard part of the year for training… Christmas is coming and those dark afternoons. π£π£π£ - There is a lot of information on how to avoid getting S.A.D this winter. My two cents are: πΊ Move before 3pm and try and do it outside. This doesn’t have to be the gym.. walk briskly from dropping off the kids. Walk up and down the stairs, round the block. Go for a run … anything to get your rib cage moving just for the sake of moving. - - π€ prioritise sleep. EVERYTHING is harder when you are tired. Get a alarm clock that wakes you up with light not just a noise. If you have kids. Get rid of them. You’ll thank me in the future… haha lol π obvs not. - π keep your phone out of the bedroom. Mine stays in the hallway and doesn’t go anywhere else when I’m home and it is a game changer. Would recommend. - - Now bring on the powerful end to the year! - - #londontraining #getstrong #fitforlife #functionalfitness #sw1fitness #sw1personaltrainer #weights #weightloss #londonvictoria #cardio #bearfitness #bearfitnesslondon #training #victoria #sarahryderpt #challenge #running #ptlondon #beginner #runworkout #sas #saswdw #RTV #victoria #rooftopButton -

One Year On - It is almost a year since I went out to Jordan to film @sas_whodareswins One of my biggest fears of being on the show was that people would not like me… I tried to be as open as possible. Something that felt quite unnatural to me. But I thought it important to really get the most out of the full 18 days we were out there. - Here are just a few of the things that were said about me on the internet…and here’s the best bit. People said mean things about me. And it was fine. The thing I was most worried about happened… and you know what.. it was not that bad. - There is SO much lip service about facing your fears and getting out your comfort zone. I don’t think many of us actually do. Because when you do.. Boy do you know about it! - We all know what the things that really scares us is. Lets get out there face it head on. Because there isn’t any other option… Life is really short and who cares about what these keyboard warriors have to say… It’s not like they could do what I did! - #cheerstothehaters #sas #saswdw #saswhodareswins #fear #jordan #twitter #keyboardwarrior #letsgoButton -

Running - It makes me feel aliveee. But a lot of people struggle. - 9 tips to help: 1. Have a plan - check your route (I use @strava maps) 2. Wear comfortable supportive & smart clothes @lululemoneurope all day for me 3. Have an MOT get your running technique checked. @therunningschool does a great once over. 4. Get a friend or consider a club @puresportclubs are very welcoming 5. Check your shoes are in decent condition (I’m on the @lululemoneurope blissfeel atm) invest in a new pair. It will motivate you to run. 6. Run on the trails @salomonfestival this weekend would be just the place to do this (I will be there) supporting @lornamann_ being a boss! 7. Get strong - make sure you do strength training and start with a small running distance. 8. Run the hills gosh it is hard but it will make all the difference to running on the flat. 9. Do fuel yourself. Running is hard. Eat carbs. This is also a message for life. Lol.

Getting leggy - Had a couple of days off the gym (you are interested I know) .. today wasn’t one of them. - Getting strong for some @ironmantri training volume coming.. - Mix loads when deadlifting is one of my favourite gym ‘hacks’. I find it really useful in tuning into how my body feels and highlights those niggles early. - Pushing throw a painful movement is typically going to lead to the land of injury. Which is not a fun place to be. Get your movement right.

Don’t drop the ball - The shoulder is one of the most complex joints in the human body. It’s a ball and socket joint and has the ability to go in virtually any direction. Fun fact: There are 17 muscles that attach to the shoulder blade alone! For this reason strengthening your muscles for optimal shoulder health can be a complex process. - Here are a couple of movements I do at least once a week. Swipe to have a peek. - If you want a quick fix or bit of advice aim to do a pulling action twice as often as you do a pushing one. And the cue of ‘put your shoulders in your back pockets’ has always worked well for my clients when trying to get the shoulders away from the ears. - If you are in pain or not able to get your arm overhead. Might be time to have a look at your movement and spend some time understanding how to control your shoulders - rather than doing another set of db snatch πππ… - - - #health #fitness #shoulders #pt #london #londonpt #summer #training #functional #sw1fitness #sw1personaltrainer #weights #weightloss #londonvictoria #cardio #bearfitness #bearfitnesslondon #training #victoria #sarahryderpt #challenge #running #ptlondon #beginner #runworkout #motivation #cycle #RTV #victoria #rooftopButton -

“In life, we must choose our regrets.” I’d never considered things that way. I’d gone through life with this assumption that it’s somehow possible to have no regrets at all if you get things right. If you make precisely the right choices at the right moments then maybe you can totally avoid regrets. I’d presumed that any regret is essentially the side-effect of a sub-optimal decision. I never considered that regrets could be unavoidably baked into the fabric of life. They’re features, not bugs.

The expression “time flies,” originating from the Latin phrase "tempus fugit," is one we all find ourselves saying or thinking, even when we aren't having fun (as the extended expression goes). - But where did the time go? And what to do to slow it down… without defying physics. - Now, a little about me: I am quite a scaredy-cat a lot of the time. Even with a very significant over confident façade. And I hate to fail. (Failure for me is anything other than winning just FYI.. it is intense) - So if I will likely fail… I likely won’t do it. Now what has this got to do with time? New and novel experiences are important and one of the ways we can slow time for ourselves. We gauge time by memorable events and fewer new things occur as we age, making it seem like childhood lasted longer. But I’d like to make sure this isn’t the case for me! Or try and minimise it a bit. - So I googled it and here’s some things to do: Go new places. Meet new people. Be spontaneous when you can be. Sounds easy. But I know it’s hard. So grab a mate. Book into something. And be present in time even if you fail - because it isn’t that bad… unless you fail πππ - - - #health #fitness #fit #personaltrainer #pt #london #londonpt #judo #new #training #sw1fitness #sw1personaltrainer #weights #weightloss #londonvictoria #cardio #bearfitness #bearfitnesslondon #victoria #sarahryderpt #challenge #running #ptlondon #beginner #runworkout #motivation #RTV #rooftop #ergs #timeButton -

Support - I need it… You need to too. Ladies we need it from our sports bras. - Fun fact: If your boobs aren’t properly supported during running (or even just power walking) they can move up to 19cm and can experience the same G force as an F1 driver. This is because there are no muscles in the breast the only support they have is from skin and the Coopers ligaments, which are very thing, stretchy structures that exist to protect the milk-producing parts of the breast, but not to lift and hold it. - Our bodies have been historically underserved when it comes to sportswear design to support the female form. For example there were only 6 scientific studies on the biomechanics and support requirements of the breasts, while there were 1,000s on the studies of sports shoes. - My point is ladies.. get yourself a great bra and it will make exercise/running/walking so much more comfortable. I have @lululemonuk of course. Get yourself into a store get fitted and make your comfort a priority. - @lululemon @lululemonuk @sophiegmorgan @bangonsix @bearfitness4 @officialsportengland @thisgirlcanukButton -

It has been a blast. - Appreciate you all. - But.. here we go into the late teens to 20 kilometres..

Baby its cold outside - Everyone loves to talk about cold water exposure. But not everyone will/wants/needs to get into a freezing cold bucket/bath/shower/pool when you can all sorts of benefits from training in the cold… If only there was a rooftop gym minutes from Victoria that was sometimes chilly (@bearfitness4) - What are the benefits I hear you ask? - Training in the cold ‘freezes’ out the flu. Training in the cold primes our body’s defences against cold and flu (pretty useful with COVID about). Could cut the risk of getting a cold by 20-30%. #science - VO2 Max. Both hot and cold temperatures cause changes in our body’s VO2 Max. However, in the cold our blood vessels narrow, causing our heart and lungs to have to work hard to supply the muscles with the amount of oxygen needed to train. Thus improving our Vo2 Max. - Moody Hormones. As training always does, it releases mood enhancing hormones. But the exposure to the cold releases even more, and along with those released during training.. It can be only good vibes. Plus, then you can tell all your friends about how hardcore you are - BONUS! - So let’s train. - #health #fitness #fit #personaltrainer #pt #london #londonpt #summer #training #functional #sw1fitness #sw1personaltrainer #weights #weightloss #londonvictoria #cardio #bearfitness #bearfitnesslondon #training #victoria #sarahryderpt #challenge #running #ptlondon #beginner #runworkout #motivation #cycle #RTV #victoria #rooftopButton -

3,2,1.. just like that we are nearly at the end of 2021. - It’s been a stormer. Looking forward to the festive break as a chance to rest up with the family. But something to think about - Earth is the only planet not named after a god. Nobody knows exactly how the Earth got its name; all we know is that it is derived from an amalgamation of both the Old English and Old Germanic words for “ground”. - Happy Monday all. - #health #fitness #fit #personaltrainer #pt #london #londonpt #summer #training #functional #sw1fitness #sw1personaltrainer #weights #weightloss #londonvictoria #cardio #bearfitness #bearfitnesslondon #training #victoria #sarahryderpt #challenge #running #ptlondon #beginner #runworkout #motivation #cycle #RTV #victoria #rooftopButton -

Pre workout… routine - I was in the gym the other day and noticed how many people have weird things they do before lifting/starting a metcon (it was quite a ‘serious’ gym so there wasn’t that much selfie/being on your phone). - This is just a pre performance routine. They have been used in sports for many years.. the most noticeable ones are a tennis player's routine before s/he serves, or the number of bounces before a free throw, or that weird dance thing powerlifters do before pulling a massive deadlift. - I had a look at some research and found that having a pre performance routine does help with performance. Likely due to reducing distractions, improving concentration and calming any nerves. - So what has this got to do with you… Basically, if you do routines before your sets/reps/training that is all good and probably helps your reps to be smoother and feel like you are more in control. If you don’t and you are wondering off and checking your phone for the 10th time during a set, might not be a bad idea to get a bit of a routine before you lift/train to focus your mind and get you to switch on. As you are training for a purpose... Aren’t you? - #health #fitness #fit #personaltrainer #pt #london #londonpt #summer #training #functional #sw1fitness #sw1personaltrainer #weights #weightloss #londonvictoria #cardio #bearfitness #bearfitnesslondon #training #victoria #sarahryderpt #challenge #running #ptlondon #beginner #runworkout #motivation #cycle #RTV #victoria #rooftopButton -

Feeling a bit stiff? - Stiffness is generally something we complain about. And for a lot of women, increased flexibility is high on their list of fitness goals. - But here’s the shocker. Stiffness is a good thing. Particularly for women. - Stiffness is the way we transfer force throughout the body. You need to be stiff to be strong. There is no practical use for being super bendy if you can only do it passively. Mobility > flexibility any day of the week. - And here’s the science for you ladies… Estrogen decreases Lysyl oxidase enzyme which is responsible for increased tissue stiffness. What does that even mean? It means when there is more oestrogen in our bodies our tendons are more compliant (reduces the likelihood of muscle tears) but increases the chance of ligament tears. And when does this happen? Typically around day 17 of our cycle. - - How to solve this? Training increases Lysyl Oxidase, but specifically training in an explosive manner this is the real golden ticket. Performing plyometrics or open chain activities correctly (as they allow little time for feedback) is a great way to do it. - I train a lot of women. And if you don’t want to worry about this sort of stuff. Lets train and let me worry about it. - #health #fitness #fit #personaltrainer #pt #london #londonpt #summer #training #functional #sw1fitness #sw1personaltrainer #weights #weightloss #londonvictoria #cardio #bearfitness #bearfitnesslondon #training #victoria #sarahryderpt #challenge #running #ptlondon #beginner #runworkout #motivation #cycle #RTV #victoria #rooftopButton -

Monday Morning Musings - Playing to win.. or playing to not lose. - As we get older, we are much more aware of what we have and how hard it can be to get into certain environments or outcomes. For example it isn’t easy to get fit, or having a trusting happy relationship or saving for a holiday or any number of other things. Having the awareness to be grateful for these things is something we are all told to do. We’ve got to express gratitude…#journalling - But when it comes to training, sport or business it can be very tempting to be so worried about losing what you have, that you end up not going in search of something ‘more’. - When we get out of worrying about failing or losing we can then understand that we could just ‘win’. That isn’t against anyone else… it is just you vs you. But tell me the last time you lost track of time doing something - I am sure you weren’t that worried about the outcome and you just enjoyed it for the sake of doing it… - So here are some tips… Usually something you did as a child as a hobby will be something you still enjoy now just for the sake of it. E.g. Riding a bike/mountain biking, drawing, video games etc. Failure is necessary - so many great inventions were made from failure… including the beloved Post It Note. Google the story.. And something I heard recently that I think makes so much sense is… Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast. - #health #fitness #fit #personaltrainer #pt #london #londonpt #summer #training #functional #sw1fitness #sw1personaltrainer #weights #weightloss #londonvictoria #cardio #bearfitness #bearfitnesslondon #training #victoria #sarahryderpt #challenge #running #ptlondon #beginner #runworkout #motivation #cycle #RTV #victoria #rooftopButton -

The drop - The deadlift is a key lift. Builds the foundations of training. I’ve always been nervous of it. - However, I’ve done some pretty scary things recently. So today I wasn’t nervous of the weight on the bar and deadlifted 100kg for 3 like it was nothing. - It’s hard to change your mind about something. A change of environment might be just the thing. - A lot of us haven’t been on holiday as much as we’d like. So changing up our training environment might be just the thing. - So try out a new gym, sport, team or group. And see how you feel. - And to take my own advice and be accountable. This weekend I’m going to the dojo and I am very excited about it! - #health #fitness #fit #personaltrainer #pt #london #londonpt #summer #training #functional #sw1fitness #sw1personaltrainer #weights #weightloss #londonvictoria #cardio #bearfitness #bearfitnesslondon #training #victoria #sarahryderpt #challenge #running #ptlondon #beginner #runworkout #motivation #cycle #RTV #victoria #rooftopButton -

Lotta Squats.. and my socks match my plates. Monday completed. - Love a squat, so much so that I almost squat and deadlift the same weight. - Keep ticking away at training. That’s all I have to say on that. As it was cold today and just starting the session was a win for my training. - Off for a run later… who is keen? - #health #fitness #fit #personaltrainer #pt #london #londonpt #summer #training #functional #sw1fitness #sw1personaltrainer #weights #weightloss #londonvictoria #cardio #bearfitness #bearfitnesslondon #training #victoria #sarahryderpt #challenge #running #ptlondon #beginner #runworkout #motivation #cycle #RTV #victoria #rooftopButton -

In the short term you are as good as your intensity, in the long term you are only as good as your consistency. - Training is the balance between an intensity you can maintain & one you can enjoy. - If you are in a funk about training - it’s getting cold and dark in the U.K. so it’s not surprising. Then reduce the intensity of your training to something you can enjoy or make social. Rather than trying to PB every session. - Life can be full of pressure. So give yourself a break make training about enjoyment. And if you can’t. Train with me. Because it’s funnnnn. - - #lululemon #thesweatlifeButton -

Having a chat with myself - The older I get the more disciplined I feel I have to be with myself. Sometimes I have to give myself a real talking to. - But why? … The novelty of training begins to wear off. I know what it like to have a bad session or a great session or just the run of the mill normal session. The racing and competing season is over. It is time to build. - I have to focus on my recovery more. That now means investing money into it. This doesn’t mean massages etc. it is recovering from sloppy movement patterns, running styles, warm up and cool down routines. It means everytime I am brushing my teeth I do heel raises, waiting for the tube.. I am standing on one leg (subtly of course) to help with my stability. Getting professionals to look at my muscular imbalances. It is all those little choices that add up to the big things. - You are training for life, so lets train the best we can for a life we can enjoy and then do fun stuff… Like.. PARKOUR! πππ Or be able to win a dance off doing the splits or play your favourite sport without feeling like you are injured or getting niggles. - The body is such a fantastic tool..

The world rewards you for value provided, not time spent. - I find it difficult to not calculate how long something has taken and if it were a PT session how much that would have cost someone, or how much I have learnt. - But value provided is hugeeee. I think you can bring a huge amount of value to someone in a short space of time. And you can waste a lot of time doing something and forcing it to happen. - Sometimes it can feel like there is a competition on who can find something the hardest, or really train themselves into the ground, or be really busy at work. But does it add any value? - Here is a bit of value for ya: What are the strongest days of the week? - - - Saturday and Sunday..

Learning - I’m starting to move better with the barbell. It has only taken.. years! - General physical preparedness is a broad term used to describe your overall fitness level or your a ability to perform work. It is the building blocks to be able to compete against yourself or others. It takes a long time to build up and get competent at different skills. But it is so worth it. - If you want to ‘speed up’ the process hire a PT who can help you along the way and point you in the right direction. But there is no substitute for just doing the work and building the foundations. - Section of today’s workout: A) Clean Complex 1 Power Clean 1 Squat Clean 1 Front Squat X5 B) Squat Clean 3, 2, 2, 1, 1 C) Pause Clean Pull x 1 Clean Pull x 1 X4 - @marchon @lululemonuk @perium.fitness - #health #fitness #fit #personaltrainer #pt #london #londonpt #summer #training #functional #sw1fitness #sw1personaltrainer #weights #weightloss #londonvictoria #cardio #bearfitness #bearfitnesslondon #training #victoria #sarahryderpt #challenge #running #ptlondon #beginner #runworkout #motivation #cycle #RTV #victoria #rooftopButton -

Gets me in the feels - What you wear affects not only how you feel but how you perform. We all know this. But there is more science to it than you might think.... - Research showed that when subjects were asked to wear a superman t-shirt, not only did it make them feel more confident, but it also made them actually think they were physically stronger. - The flip side of this is that when women were asked to wear a bathing suit, they performed worse in maths tests. (If you're interested, the reason behind this is that being made to wear an item of clothing that makes women think about how others might perceive their bodies consumes women's attentional resources, which is manifested in diminished mental performance. This effect was only seen in women, not men). - So... what does this mean? How you feel matters. How you feeling in your clothes matters too. Your workout clothes might be sweat-wicking and have the latest fad technology in it... but if you don't feel right in it, it just won't work. - I wear Lululemon kit and it makes me feel my best. I train because it makes me feel my best I run because it makes me feel my best (sometimes only after). But feeling good is something we chase already, I think it is something we deserve. - What makes you feel? #thesweatlife - P.S. great class @foundryfit with @coach_saima this morning ππΌπͺπ»πͺπ» - #health #fitness #fit #personaltrainer #pt #london #londonpt #summer #training #functional #sw1fitness #sw1personaltrainer #weights #weightloss #londonvictoria #cardio #bearfitness #bearfitnesslondon #training #victoria #sarahryderpt #challenge #running #ptlondon #beginner #runworkout #motivation #cycle #RTV #victoria #rooftopButton
Testimonials
I’ve been receiving online programming from Sarah for about 10 weeks now and so happy with the service.
Sarah is super attentive and really personalises to your needs & level whilst still pushing you to do more as well as strengthen your weaknesses. It’s brought much needed structure to my workouts and helped keep me going throughout lockdown.
Having done PT sessions in the past, I can honestly say that Sarah’s programming has been the best value for money to date.

Bear fitness really helped motivate and train me for a half marathon. I would never have been able to do it without their support. They made me personal training plans and even gave me tips on the right foods to eat and what time to go to bed! The best thing about them is they made exercise fun!! I would really recommend them to anyone hoping to improve their fitness levels. Thank you so much girls!

Sarah is a wonderful PT. She knows the science, she is naturally enthusiastic, and – above and beyond – she is dynamic with her training. I learn by doing during our sessions and always laugh.
Sarah trained me for a marathon, strengthened my lady hips, and when I came limping to her with a bad case of ITBS, she patiently balanced out my wonky legs. Sarah is a powerhouse of information about being fit and healthy; I cannot recommend her enough.
