My Recommendations
The useful bits I actually recommend
I've put together some of the things I regularly recommend to clients — from workout equipment and protein powders to kitchen & bathroom scales — so you don't have to spend ages searching for them yourself.
Things I'd recommend anyway
Everything on this page is here because I genuinely think it's useful and would recommend it to my clients — whether I earn anything from the links or not.
Some links are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. Some of them aren't.
I would never recommend a product just because I can earn commission from it.
Workout Equipment

Resistance bands
£10–£20 · Amazon
