Train Yourself Ugly

Apparel with attitude! We’re gym partners who love training hard. We train big and we train ugly!

Train Yourself Ugly (TYU) came about during one of our typical face-distorting sessions. A conversation which sparked an idea to create our brand, develop some epic designs, and inspire others to focus their sessions on their goals, not on ‘looking pretty’. Apparel with imagery which encapsulates our personal training ethos.

Really hoping for a week of normality soon!!! 🤪

The last few weeks have been SUPER busy. Full on at work, training hard, finding a new flat, moving, plus other life commitments. We all have times when life is like this and we survive through the stress. When part of that stress is released our body often takes a hit. I finally got moved into my new place, and then this past week I’ve been sick 🥴

Training, steps and cardio have been very minimal. Not ideal, but at least I’ve kept my food on point!

Control the controllables ✌️

Got back into the gym yesterday afternoon for a bit of an upper session to get the body moving, and some light legs this morning.

Ready to take on the week ahead! 😈

Legs, a good way to start a Sunday! A few clips from this morning’s session.

First time using the hip thrust; hopefully form isn’t too off. 🫣

In the past my heavy leg press gave me so much all round leg and glute work; it really was the base of almost every leg session along with extensions. Obviously other exercises were included, but those two have been the biggest contributors to my lower body development.

However since I’m not currently pressing as much as I used to, I need to make sure I’m adding in sufficient other movements to obtain the look I want. Will work on building this up to something decent. 😈

2025 ended up being a year more of connections than it was of designs. We’ve loved meeting people, being involved in events, and building friendships. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of it, it’s been a great year!!! 😁

We’re looking for 2026 to have a bit more balance and will be working our year around a few key things in order to achieve this.

We’ll share more about this soon, but for now, thanks for sticking around and supporting us here at Train Yourself Ugly! 😈
