Summer and Christmas offer some of the best times to read. However, there is something extra nice about being wrapped up in a blanket, hot chocolate and a good book in hand. Recently I shared Lanesbrough Hall by Elisabeth Linley and depending on when you read this, there may still be a chance to win a copy.
Today, however, I am back with a completely different kind of book and a chance to win 1 of 3 signed copies.
Behind Gym Doors
Have you ever thought that being a personal trainer just meant standing around telling people what to do? Well Behind Gym Doors is about to change your mindset. Matt Hodges runs one of the most exclusive studios in London and is a personal trainer to the rich and famous. Having been a personal trainer to some of the most famous and super-rich people around, he can say he has seen it all.
Writing Behind Gym Doors, Matt decided to change weights for the written word and treat us all to a bit of what goes on beyond the doors of the gym.
Follow a range of characters who have frequented Matt’s gym, from housewives to famous singers, footballers and billionaires and even a sinister Russian gangster, Matt has stories about them all. Told with kindness, even when it comes to the most absurd of stories, this really is a unique tale that many of us would never be witness to.
While the book is filled with a lot of laughs, you will also find out the blood sweat and tears that goes into being a personal trainer such as Matt.
Behind Gym Doors is on sale now at Amazon (affiliate link) where it costs £10.99 for a paperback copy (hardback also on sale).

39 and originally from South London, Matt feels he has experienced enough laughs and moments to fill at least three books. However, with highs can sometimes come life-changing lows, which are also shared openly and honestly within the pages of Behind Gym Doors.
Behind the funny anecdotes lies a plethora of signed NDAs. While Matt’s personal experience with physical and mental health issues which on occasion nearly ended his career lie within the pages of the books. Thankfully writing Behind Gym Doors helped him with his depression, helping him to think clearer.
You can follow Matt via his website and on social media: Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn.

Oh this is a very different kind of book to what I would normally read but does sound interesting.
I don’t go to the gym but I do go to bootcamp. It’s outside and I’m quite clumsy.
I’ve taken people out accidentally when they just came back from injury, stuck my backside in people’s faces by accident in sessions and inadvertently groped someone’s bo*bs as I fell over in the mud.
I became one of the reasons they had to add an extra line in the sign up sheet about doing activities at your own risk 😂🤦🏻♀️
No I haven’t been to the gym in a long long time.
