🟣 Legally Blonde Vibes

Well if it isn’t my sumptuous sticky toffee pudding. 

You know that scene in Legally Blonde where Elle rocks up to what she thinks is a fancy dress party dressed as a bunny… 

Only to find everyone else in normal clothes? 

She feels like a right tit.

Like she doesn’t belong.

All because of how she’s dressed compared to everyone else. 

And that's what walking into the gym can feel like these days.

Now, let me make something perfectly clear…

You should wear whatever the shitting fuck you like.

If that’s a perfectly matching set? Crack on.

Want to fix your hair and wear make up? Do it. 

But if you feel like you HAVE to achieve a certain look to fit in at the gym?

You don’t.

You show up however YOU feel comfortable.

This might seem like a weirdly specific topic.

But it’s a real barrier for peeps in the Team Henley world.

The pressures and standards created by the cluster fuck of social media content and societal trends make it intimidating to set foot in a gym.

And what you’re wearing is part of that.

Elle felt like a right tit because she was dressed differently from everyone else. 

Because our clothes give us a sense of comfort and identity. 

And if you feel pressured to dress and look a certain way that doesn’t feel like you?

You’re going to feel self conscious, anxious and on edge. 

Fuck that.

The gym is about showing up for yourself, learning what your body can do, and having fun along the way.

I’m not exactly attracting any activewear sponsorships with my £12 Amazon leggings and football tops.  

If I did a gym GRWM video you’d see a frantic egg searching for her crocs and swearing A LOT. 

But I’m always comfortable and ready to hit my workouts hard. 

Which I know is easier for me given I’m a coach and I’ve been doing this a long time.

But the point still stands…

You are showing up for yourself.

So you show up however you feel comfortable. 

You’ll still have some nerves and wobbles.

But you’ll be better placed to handle them like a fucking boss. 

And if you want to have the Team Henley Coaches guiding you through every rep of every exercise?
