How did you get started?


Growing up in school I was heavily influenced by athletics events especially sprinting and shot put as well as karate. Through college I played rugby and the training for that helped me develop a strong base.

Soon after I finished rugby I took up weight training purely for health and fitness until early 2010, this is where I actually considered competing in bodybuilding so I applied for the 2010 NPA Yorkshire u-21s class and against all my expectations won my class and was invited to the NPA British Finals and came 1st again. This led me to being invited to Barcelona to compete for the UIBBN Worlds with the British team and unbelievably came 2nd. This followed by another 2nd at the 2011 NPA Yorkshire.

Can you describe your training programme for us?

The program I partake involves a four way split over a week. On Monday I train Quads and calves, Tuesday

chest, biceps and abs, Wednesday I rest, Thursday is back and hamstrings, Friday is delts, triceps and abs and rest off for the weekend. I like to go heavy often training to failure with 6-8 rep range but like to mix it up with rest pause, dropset, superset etc every now and then

What are your thoughts on nutrition?

I believe you must supply your body with sufficient fuel from all clean basic macronutrients and also use micronutrients to keep your body healthy and strong

What supplements do you use?

I currently use NRG 100% whey, Bcaas, HMB, UDOs oil, multivitamins/minerals, vitamin c

What are your goals?

To try and make the most of my potential and become the best bodybuilder I can be

What advice would you give to others?

To do research on nutrition and training, be determined, eat/rest well and train hard

Who are your inspirations?

Dorian Yates and Lee Priest as well as many British Natural Bodybuilders (too many to name lol)



Thanks Joe, that is great, good luck with your up coming competitions.

BNBF British Finals 2011 Kelly & Jon

Sunday the 18th September 2011 was Finals day for 85 British Natural Bodybuilding Federation competitors including our own Jon Clark and Kelly Rennie. As usual the show ran like clockwork and was a feat of organisation for athletes and spectators alike.


The day show started promptly at 11.30 with the Pro competitors and was like a clash of the titans. Many pro debuts took place on this day and all looked great.
The Finals started in earnest with the Teens and with Jon in class 5 it didn’t take long until he got his turn.

Jon took to the stage in his first year as a Masters competitor and look shapely and tight. His stage presence had not deserted him during his two years off and he took to it like a duck to water. With not a hair out of place Jon worked tirelessly throughout the symmetry round and the muscularity. The call outs went well and his smile never faltered, job done now to the night show.

Kelly looked great in the figure class, a field of 11 ladies all of awesome standard and little to choose between them whilst all being quite different in shape, tone and musculature. Kelly’s shoulders looked great, her abs were out and her stage presence excellent. Again symmetry and favourite poses with the T-walk still to come at the night show.

The night show again started on time with the now traditional introduction of the judges as they emerged from the smoke…. Rachael did not judge this year but has the onerous task of compiling the show report.

Jon posed with his usual grace and fluidity. Jon was in excellent shape and although Lazaro Almenares and Pete Sampson were slightly tighter than Jon they could not compete with his overall package, his excellent and balanced development, amazing upper body development and separated quads. Pete placed third and Lazaro second whilst Jon was crowned 2011 O/40s British Champion. Jon has waited 11 years for the British Title and was overjoyed with the result being presented with his trophy by former BNBF Pro and Outstanding Bodybuilder Nigel Davies.

Jon then took to the stage for the Masters Overall and the prestigious Pro Card, it was great to see Jon on the stage with long time Bodybuilder, role model, friend and true gent that is Eric Dowey who won the over 70′s. Jon battled hard and was closely beaten by Mario Watts from the O/50s.

Back home with a trophy the size of a small child Jon is now preparing for the Yorton Cup in Washington DC after receiving an invite to compete as part of the BNBF British team. Six more weeks of diet and hard preparation.

Kelly Rennie took to the stage and with her own amazing style strutted out her T-walk with a figure to aspire to and stage presence a-plenty. The standard of the class this year was amazing with all the girls having placed first or second in the qualifiers there was not much to choose between them. Kelly well deserves her place in the top echelon of figure competitors demonstrating commitment and hard work throughout the year not only at competition time. She didn’t place top 5 this time………. next year!!




Well done guys you did great!

July News 2011

Hi all

Well a quick update on what's happening at Revolution.

At the end of last month we joined with South Yorkshire Shotokan Karate and Tuesdays and Thursdays became karate days at Revolution. These classes are going well and some hard work has started towards gradings and gaining belts for progress and ability.

Michelle, started her ladies kick-boxing two mornings a week not for gradings but to keep fit, tone up, lose weight and learn a little self defence at the same time.

Thursdays also became running day. The Revolution Runners set off at 6pm on a Thursday to view Rotherham on foot. Currently building up everyone's confidence and ability we do approx 5k at a variety of speeds. We've been lucky with the weather so far but its only a matter of time so if you come along a lightweight waterproof is worth the investment.

Last week saw, Genesis Nutrition set up its stall within Revolution. Genesis is a supplement store to meet all your nutritional needs. They have a range of proteins, carbohydrates, post and pre workout drinks, creatine and other supplements. Call in and find out what they have.

Saturday 9th is Rotherham Rocks day in All Saints Sq and our very own Ellie is modelling, call down, join in the fun and give her some support. It should be a good day, very entertaining.

June update

Well we promised you a busy June and so far we have delivered.

South Yorkshire Shotokan Karate Club started with us this month. Classes run on Tuesday at 6.45pm and Thursday at 5pm (juniors) and 6.15pm adults. The club is doing really well and all participants are having fun and learning lots. Karate is an excellent way to get fit and learn a useful skill. Nev has his own website at www.southyorkshireshotokankarate.co.uk, he is also on Facebook and twitter @SYSKarate.

We have a new reception, big thanks to Barry, Michelle and Dan for finishing off the area following Jon's excellent plumbing skills. The area is much more practical for the team and hopefully for you guys too.

Genesis nutrition is almost here, Kyle is working hard to finish the shop. Early July will see a launch of a fully stocked supplement shop.

Revolution Runners started last night, 23rd June. Every Thursday at 6pm a group run will set off from the gym, more of a social activity and a motivator to get you out there putting in the miles. Starting with shorter distances we will build up together. Meet at the reception at 6pm on Thursday if you are interested.

See you at the gym soon, come down and join in......

Latest News for Revolution Gym

May so far has been great.. We have been joined by Michelle Nixon as our gym manager and she is already like part of the family. If you haven't said hi, you should, she's a self proclaimed nice person and we have to agree. Watch out though because she is a 3rd Dan Kickboxer and Kickboxing instructor so don't get on her wrong side...... Then we had the shower debacle... those men's showers will be right eventually. We have replaced the pump and all its well but we have bigger and better plans for the future so bare with us... lol - literally in the shower.







Sherwood/Clumber Park 10k

Jon, Rachael and Nicola Christie took part, Nicola split the couple with all three finishing just over 55 minutes - a great result. The day was brilliant, not hot, a little drizzle but a great event with beer tents, wine tasting, music and commentary for those that didn't run, climbing walls and play areas for kids. Its well worth the day out next year if you fancy it.

Sheffield Half Marathon

Pat and Claire did this one, a gruelling 13 miles around the streets of sheffield culminating in Don Valley Stadium. Both did great in just over two hours, well done guys.







NABBA Northeast 2011

Mick Green entered his first bodybuilding show this year as a Master. He has worked really hard with personal training from our own Jon Clark. All that hard work, dedication and diet paid off when he placed 2nd in his class against some stiff competition in the NABBA Northeast Championship 2011. This is no mean feat for his first competition, lets see where this takes him...

Other developments in the pipeline for June are a supplement shop with full range of health and sport supplements right here in your every own Revolution Gym. Also in June the South Yorkshire Shotokan Karate school will extend its classes to Revolution on Tuesdays and Thursdays so watch this space......... more details on both to follow....

Who can benefit from more activity?

Well the bonus here is you can - because everyone can. Whatever your age, size, current physical condition. You are never too old or unfit to start doing something you might just need to think about what that something is.

The greatest benefit is experienced by people who are inactive andwho start regular moderate levels of physical activity.

Health risks will decrease as you do more.

Ask yourself how much you do already? Think about your work and home time. Add up the time you a physically active.

How much should you do?


Any increase in activity will benefit your health but experts agree that all adults should aim to build up to at least 30 mins of moderate physical activity on 5 days of the week or more.

How Activity Can Help

Inactivity is one of the major causes of coronary heart disease and stroke in Britain. People who are inactive have twice the risk of developing coronary heart disease compared with active people. Regular activity slows down the narrowing of the arteries to the heart and brain that occurs with age. The more exercise you do, the stronger and more efficient the heart becomes so it can pump more blood with each beat.

Physical activity can help to reduce high blood pressure. It also reduces the likelihood of developing it in the first place. If you have high blood pressure, avoid certain 'weight bearing' exercises like lifting weights, consult your doctor and start steady regular cardio exercise.

Being active is shown to help reduce stress, anxiety and depression - so it really can help make you happier.

The story so far then is that if you exercise within your limits it is good for you. Like everything done to excess it can be harmful. Consult your doctor if you have any concerns before commencing exercise but , do it, tKe the lunge start the rest of your life today.......

Word association to learn muscle groups - try it!!!!!

Remember when asked which muscles were sore after a workout or sporting challenge, you just pointed at the area and said "it hurts here"! Naming the muscles that were aching simply slipped our minds. We learned these areas back in health class or maybe human anatomy, but years have slithered by like a run away mud slide sweeping valuable knowledge into oblivion.

Let me show you a simple way to relearn the basic muscle groups and spread this knowledge with your friends and family. You say this is silly? Not so! We use to know the name of our gluteus maximus, but we are lazy now and let us not forget how cute we think we have become in our lives! We just refer to our gluteus maximus as our butt, ass, rear, or back side. There are many more words to describe our seat, but I feel these are satisfactory. Oh, how we celebrate our wondrous capture of our language! Where does it hurt one asks? My ass hurts we shout using our fore finger to point to the exact location. The job does get done illustrating the location of the pain, but let us try to learn a better way!

Why not learn the basic muscle groups with word association and movement. Yea, we can still be emotive expressing ourselves! Teach your self the following words and movements then transfer them to the family, then all will learn the basic muscle building language. Have fun learning as I explain the parts of a lesson learned years ago.

Pectorals: These are the King Kong muscles. Go ahead and beat you chest!

Abdominals: Let us call them the pizza muscles. Just rub that flat tummy.

Hamstrings: These are the ham muscles. Look for that hidden piece of ham behind your leg.

Trapezius: These are the trap muscles. Trap you right earn to your right shoulder, then the left ear the same way.

Deltoids: Fly around as these can be called the airplane muscles. Extend both arms out straight, and fly, fly, fly.

Triceps: We can call them the tricycle muscles. Rub your triceps and say out loud they have three parts just like a tricycle has three wheels.

Obliques: These are the "O'Boy" muscles. Put your hands on your waist and say "O'Boy I am full of pizza!

Quadriceps: You can call them the quarterback muscles. Simply rub your quadriceps and say these are the muscles quarterbacks use to throw the football.

Gastronemius: These are the gas muscles. Rub your calves and proclaim to the world this is where you keep the gas to run faster.

Latissamus Dorsi: These muscles are called the dinosaur muscles. Put your hands on your lower back and feel the humps just like dinosaur humps that were prevalent among dinosaurs.

Gluteus Maximus: These are the glue muscles. Just glue that back side to the chair.

Biceps: These can be called the bicycle muscles. Bicycles have two wheels and the biceps have two parts.

Using word association and movement you will begin to feel comfortable with these groups of muscles. Shortly, these words will become part of your weight lifting vocabulary and your family will appreciate when asked "where does it hurt" you replying your gluteus maximus is sore, not your ass!

So it's here now what???? 2011

Hey hey it's 2011, start of the next decade. We have talked about setting goals and hopefully you have some ideas about what you want to achieve this year.

Now we need to set about doing it.....

Some of you will have started detox diets, some have decided on weight-loss, some want to run a marathon. From my history in body building the key to achieving goals is consistency, stick at it. Some days you won't feel like it, but after you have done your training you will feel so much better and will be one step closer to d-day.

So whatever your goal now break it down into steps you need to take to achieve it. Plan them into your days and weeks and off you go.

If you want to get fitter and put an exercise regime on your game plan come down to Revolution Gym, 35-37 Bridgegate, Rotherham. 01709 372659 - town centre gym. We can help you plan to achieve your goals and support you to achieve them.

Good luck for 2011.....

Goals 2011

Okay, so now is the time to start thinking of those goals for 2011. Not necessarily earth-shatteringly big ones like, World Peace or Olympic gold but you sized goals that will set the route map for where you wanna be and go in 2011.

I have never been one for massive goals but do like to know what the next achievement is that I would like to make. This year it was to complete a triathlon. The year started well and the first super sprint triathlon was completed in June the next goal a sprint distance was much harder. Time constraints meant the training didn't go well and a laissez faire attitude at times didn't assist but I did it! It was really tough and all the way through I kept telling myself I could stop, I knew I wouldn't but it would have been so easy to do.

Next year (2011) I want to compete again as a professional natural bodybuilder. I have picked July as the month just now need to get my head in gear. I also want to start my first book or short story...... This is a goal I have had many times but this year I want to do it!

Take your time, don't make it too big and set your goal.... See the mountain or hill you want to climb and let's set off towards the top.

Remember when we reach the top we can look back on all those valley people who are happy never to know what the top of the hill looks like (Frank Dick was an Olympic coach I think and I once listened to him talk of valley and mountain people -I'll keep it for another day.....)
