Morning Routine
5:15am – Brush my teeth, have a quick shower and grab a pint of water.
I know it sounds insane, but trust me, waking up at 5:15am is a total game-changer! Jumpstarting my day with a burst of energy and enthusiasm sets the tone for the rest of my day. And let’s face it, who doesn’t need some peace and quiet before the craziness begins?
Over the years, I’ve tested out all sorts of morning routines, tinkering with exercise, hydration, and mental preparation.
But the routine I rock now is absolute perfection: a speedy shower, a pint of water, and a 3-minute blast on the Assault Bike. The shower and water keep me alert and hydrated, while the cardio gets my blood pumping.
5:40am – Head to the studio and get on the crowd favourite, the old Assult Bike for a 3-minute morning blast to wake me up!
5:45am – Get the music going (and a quick dance along, obviously), and set up the equipment for our first early birds in the gym.
You can’t forget the music and dance moves! They’re the icing on the cake, getting my mind and body ready for anything the day throws my way
6am – Our first session begins with a bang! Straight in it for a good day!
Members Sessions
6am – 12pm – Back-to-back sessions with my members, who are always giving it 100% and smashing the gym.
We usually have 1 or 2 people in a session, but did you know that we now offer 1-3 people in a session? You’ve been asking for it, and we’ve made it possible! How exciting is that? More motivation, more team feel and even more fun & laughter.
Alongside the sessions, I’m always assessing the needs of each individual and adjusting our activities accordingly. If any of my members have a concern in progress, we step back and look at what they are struggling with and view it from a holistic point of view in order to find a solution that best suits their problem. Based on this, set out a plan of action in order to work towards their goal and continue making the process.
Administrative Tasks & Lunch
12pm – 1pm – This is my time to step out of the studio and get my needed fuel to power me through to the evening.
I respond to any messages from members and inquiries, grab some fresh air and work on my social media. Who else loves a good Instagram Reel?
I’ll also let you into a secret…shhh. I have been known to practice my dance moves. A challenging aspect of being a Personal Trainer is when I get bullied by the members on my dance moves, so I’ll just have to keep practising.
Afternoon and Evening Activities
1pm – 8pm – Our next group of members are back in the studio and hitting their goals and smashing their personal bests.
On a typical day, I get to see between 10-20 members a day. That’s lots of fun conversations, setting new goals and achieving success many times a day!

When Everyone Goes Home
The studio door closes, the cleaning and tidying begin, the music slowly fades away and the lights go out.
It’s been another successful day in the gym and I can’t wait to wake up early again the next day and begin all over again.
I grab myself a nutritious dinner, do any research I need to, read new bodies of research and look at other practitioners in the industry.
Good night!
A Final Note from Keetan
Despite the long hours and preparation for each session, it’s an extremely rewarding career where you get to have a genuine impact on people’s lives.
See people change their lives through my training, have a happier and healthier lifestyle and truly find their Kee2Fitness.
