PT stepping in here! My clients would often come to me with the whole fitness/smart watch predicament and this is how I see it (as someone that has been using a Fitbit and now Apple Watch for about 8 years).
At the end of the day, it's about consistency, and in this case (if you're dubious about the accuracy) 'inaccurate inconsistency'.
Okay so you might not literally hit 10,000 steps that day, but if you use the same watch day after day for a year, you're going to get your own personal baseline and something to go by. Also, if the goal of hitting 10k steps gets you out and about, keeping active & healthy, it probably doesn't matter all that much whether it ends up being 9,000 or 11,000.
They can be a fun tool, but easy to get obsessed with, so if you think you may get fixated on the accuracy then it could just be that they aren't for you
I hope this helped somehow xx

I tipped over at 22 stone a few years back. Had zero motivation to even live some days. Severe depression & bipolar. Then came my first Apple Watch. And even though I got told over and over it wasn’t accurate, not to believe it, it’s basically shit & lies, it helped me to get up and move for 12 hours. It helped me to get out and close that ring. It helped me to focus and have a small goal. I went from staying in when and were I could to walking an hour in the morning. I started to do a small bit of exercise on days I couldn’t walk. I started to have a goal and I thrived of that. Oh a whole week with my rings closed. Let’s try and get it to 2 weeks, to a month and so on. Regardless of what it does/doesn’t do, for one person it can be life changing. As it was for me.
So based on inaccurate information from the watch I lost 7.5 stone in 2 years. Calorie deficit yes. But I do believe the watch had power behind it. Because for the first time in 10+ years I moved every day. And now even with a gym plan and so much knowledge, a healthy view of food, a new outlook on life; I need the watch. I need to do them steps. To close my rings. Because it motivates me and makes me get up and out. I may have lost the weight but the depression & bipolar are me. And I know and guarantee that without my watch, when I’m in the midst of a clusterfuck of a time, my watch helps me focus. My ring closing goal gets me out with headphones. Gets me up in the rain.
It may be obsession, it may be too much but for me it works mentally and physically.

I'd estimate she's giving each client less than 2 hours of her time per month. It's hardly personalised or responsive to their needs.
Let's break it down.
The weekly check in (10-15 minutes) - A quick glance at Suzy's update pictures accompanied by a 10 minute pep talk referencing "digging deep" "keeping the eyes on the prize" and other empty platitudes, leaving the client feeling like they've just attended a shallow motivational seminar.
Client Programming (5 minutes) - Suzy mentioned in her last check in that she doesn't like hack squats, so let's switch those for leg press. We'll reorder some of the exercises and voila! "Suzy, here's the new routine I've carefully programmed for you based on your feedback"
Nutritional Guidance (5 minutes) - Suzy's weight hasn't budged for 2 weeks. Let's drop her dietary fat a little bit, increase her protein, shave 300 calories from her daily total and increase her step count by 1000 per day. "I've crunched the numbers babez, I've dun the maf. You're gonna be mind blown with the adjustments I've made for you. Game changing"
WhatsApp Support (5 minutes) - Who cares if Georgie never invested the time into a nutrition course, understanding biomechanics or being sensitive to eating disorders. She graduated from The University of Google, with a first class degree in ctrl+c and ctrl+v
(CBG Group Chat) (0-5 minutes) - Essentially Georgie delegates her workload to her own clients, letting them answer each others questions and support each other as a community, while promoting the brand and creating a toxic hierarchical structure to gain clout with the queen herself, and become one of Georgie's coveted "Ambassadors"
£150 paid by bank transfer, and remember - she's doing you a favour!

someone tell me when they watch plz!
I know they're not mates anymore, but saw this.
This from the guy who had a go at the kid in the gym who tried to remain out of his video, and a go at someone in the changing room a week or so before that.
The kid who may have had anxiety issues, body dysmorphia etc.
Be kind you hypocrite.

Okay sooo, did anyone notice this posted by @amytyler.fit a couple of weeks ago? It was shared by @curvesonkate who is @taras_tenacity's new coach, who for a while was a fully fledged member of Georgie's CBG minion army

Self discipline isn’t that great when she has nothing else to worry about. Her life literally revolves around fitness and diet. She has all the time in the world to get her precious steps in and to go on the stair master first thing in the morning. She’s in a position where she earns a decent amount for doing naff all so she can get her diet sorted every day.
She doesn’t work in a high demanding job. I’d like to see her discipline under changed circumstances before I think it’s impressive
sorry I just clearly don’t like giving her any credit

She looks like a 50 year old divorcee at the local slug & lettuce trying to find a new bloke to find all the white wine spritzer and cheap nail extensions. She looks old and rough

I'd bet she's in the most privileged position among her competitors preparing for the upcoming show.
No family commitments or childcare worries. No employment accountability or workplace schedule to adhere to. A fully equipped commercial gym, a storage container filled with high end free weights and a cardio machine at home.
Endless cash for diamond-encrusted heels and a glitzy posing costume, organic food, sunbed sessions, botox, hair and nails, and an expensive contest prep coach.
Unlike her parking fines, throwing money at a problem doesn't always work, so it will be all the more glorious to see her delusions shattered come show time. Watch with glee as she botches her on stage routine and is picked apart by the judges. Overdeveloped quads and underdeveloped glutes with a horribly blocky appearance and Zero balance.
Short "T-Rex" arms with an enormous head and a face belonging to someone in their late Forties.
The icing on the cake would be Matt being escorted out of the building during the show for his obnoxious "encouragement", shouting from the crowd "Come on babe you got this! You're crushing these bitches from every angle! Flex harder! Fucking own it! It's your stage!"
Will we see a more humble Georgie when she fails to make top 5?

I wouldn't be surprised if the weekly check ins with clients turn into high pressure, unwanted sales pitches where Georgie uses manipulative language and abuses her coach/client rapport to shill her accessories and merch.
Suzie "Well my deadlifts haven't felt great this week, and I don't know why"
Georgie "We all have bad weeks babe, but if you really want to take things to the next level, consider trying a pair of my cbg wrist straps. They're specifically designed for female hands and can be yours for £12.99"
CBG - more like QVC

I thought it was Georgie at first, although it sounds like his Mum/Grandma/Girlfriend.
It's hilarious how dramatic these fitness clowns are. Equating dieting for a show with "going to war" and "charging into battle". Imagine if Georgie or Matt were prepping for a show AND working a busy 9-5 job. A real one with responsibilities and deadlines.
If moping around the house all day in a grubby onesie, pan frying chicken and green beans every 3 hours and copy/pasting a few client emails is "back breaking work", then sign me up! When the toughest mountain to climb during the day is a trip to the supermarket for bagel fins and spinach leaves - Then you've got it pretty easy.

Try being hungry, tired and on your feet for 8 hours in a factory/supermarket/hospital/care home. Cooking your meals the night before, eating them out of Tupperware containers whenever you find a spare 5 minutes during your shift. Throw childcare into the mix, or a sick relative, and now you really are working hard.
