What do your first 30 mins of the day look like, your morning routine? My mornings always begin with 2 huge glasses of water, whilst I’m working my way through these, I’m preparing my first batch of coffee for myself and my wife. Whilst the coffee is brewing, I take my dachshund Teddy outside, which also gives me the opportunity to get exposed to some natural light, which has been shown to be one of the best ways to naturally energize the body first thing in the morning and maintain a healthy circadian rhythm. Whilst preparing Teddy’s breakfast I’ll work through a cup of coffee, before jumping in the shower, which over the last couple of years always ends with 15 – 30 seconds of coldwater exposure to help naturally boost energy and alertness further. What are the pillars of the brand and how did you define why these were important? Workshop is a brand that is trusted, has personality, is empathetic, and has purpose behind everything we do. These brand pillars have become identified as the brand has evolved, and our identity has been formed. Our services and products are designed to build trust in our process straight away, whether that’s by taking every customer through our Framework Assessment (series of body assessments) which helps build trust immediately by showing that we aren’t just guessing as to what a client should be doing training on the gym floor, and the same with our nutritional supplements, each product and ingredient was chosen because there is sufficient research behind each product as to their effectiveness and results.
