The Core Momentum Trainer


If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know I’m big on the core, and by now you’ll know I have so many devices and methods which target the core. My newest addition is the core momentum trainer by Escape Fitness.


A good friend of mine and personal trainer [Instagram] @kotrainingzone has been using this device long before me, and after watching him and his clients use it had inspired me. So, I bought it.


This is a unique device, can be used in a variety of ways only limited by your imagination and physical capabilities. It works by performing a movement and jerking the device simultaneously, for instance in the video below I am performing a knee drive to a contralateral CMT upward golf swing. 

The immediate halt of the device once I reach terminal velocity will cause the steel shots inside to aggressively hit an end of the cavity inside, this causes a sharp intrinsic force which attempts to put me off balance and break my movement chain for a split second.


It’s up to my body to harness this force and engage all the muscles required for stabilization and maintenance of optimal movement pattern.


If you have read my previous article ‘How to Train Your Core’ you’ll know why I don’t advocate sit ups, crunches, russian twists for overall core development [barring certain circumstances]. The CMT incorporates dynamic movement and activates your core by resisting tensions at differing angles, heights, body positions, tensions, and distances from the centre of mass, unlike most devices it is not fixed to the ground, or anchored to something, its able to move freely to the user’s will and needs.

My take on Health and Fitness

Is Breakfast Truly the Most Important Meal of the Day? Should you eat breakfast to achieve your fitness goals, or could skipping it be more beneficial? I aim to challenge conventional fitness advice when necessary to deliver the best results for my clients. My commitment to tailoring fitness solutions to individual needs is what sets me apart in the personal training industry. In a world dominated by one-size-fits-all approaches, it’s critical to remember that the most important person in any fitness journey is the client. Forcing a rigid mindset on someone often leads to frustration and failure, pushing them away from their goals. For many, breakfast has long been considered a non-negotiable meal. Decades of marketing by the breakfast cereal industry have ingrained the belief that starting the day with a bowl of sugary cereal is essential. For these individuals, switching to a healthier option—like grilled salmon and vegetables—can feel revolutionary. But what if you don’t enjoy breakfast? What if skipping it altogether makes you feel better? The Breakfast Myth: Science vs. Belief For years, health experts have drilled into us that skipping breakfast is a fast track to obesity and chronic disease. The phrase “breakfast is the most important meal of the day” is so entrenched in society that questioning it seems almost heretical. Interestingly, a recent meta-analysis of breakfast-related studies found that the belief in breakfast’s benefits often outweighs the strength of scientific evidence. Researchers uncovered significant biases in how results were interpreted, leading to conflicting conclusions. Does this mean breakfast is bad? Absolutely not. Instead, it highlights the need for an open-minded approach to nutrition, prioritizing what works best for you. While nutrition debates can be divisive, achieving body composition goals ultimately boils down to three basics: creating a calorie deficit, eating nutritious foods, and sticking to the plan.

Through my experience as a Personal Trainer, I have observed the patterns, themes, and trends in a manner by people ive spoken to and worked with. A singular, unifying catalyst for successful weight-loss narratives exists: the moment of realization, an epiphany, the "Aha, I can’t continue this way." This is precisely why the 'healthy at every size' ideology is flawed. You are not healthy at every size. "But one can be ill and underweight too," they retort. Indeed, that is possible, yet it’s merely deflection. The focus here is not on anyone else. If one is overweight, the probability of death escalates. The greater the excess weight, the higher the propensity for illness and the decline in life quality. This is an irrefutable truth, regardless of how anyone attempts to spin it. The term ‘morbid obesity’ (morbid, implying death) exists for a reason.
