Health & Fitness
At BOLDMOTION Healthy Living, our mission is to empower individuals to take greater control of their health through education and clear, practical knowledge on nutrition, physical activity, motivation, mental wellbeing and positive habit change, presented in an engaging and accessible way. We help people make informed choices that can lead to lasting results.
True transformation comes not from quick fixes, but from knowledge, motivation, consistency and self-confidence. We focus on a healthier body shape rather than simply concentrating on weight. Our goal is to inspire BOLDMOTION in every part of life, starting with health.
Healthy living is about more than food and exercise. How we eat, how much we move, how we feel, our confidence, motivation, daily routines and connections with other people can all contribute to our overall wellbeing.
We introduce two simple frameworks at the heart of our Healthy Living Seminars: The BOLD Dietary Awakening, which builds nutritional awareness and knowledge, and The MOTION System, which helps turn that knowledge into positive action. Together, they form the BOLDMOTION approach to healthy living. We put the BOLD into MOTION.
KNOWLEDGE → POSITIVE ACTION → LASTING CHANGE
BOLDMOTION Healthy Living works in line with Active NoW, the NHS ICB programme that provides assessment and triage into physical activity opportunities for eligible patients. Active NoW is managed by Broadland and South Norfolk District Council and commissioned by the Integrated Care Board (ICB), an NHS organisation. Our seminars will help support healthier lifestyles and encourage people to become more active, and in turn potentially help reduce the strain on the NHS.
Our Healthy Living Seminars are approximately two hours long and delivered face-to-face in the Norfolk and Waveney region. They are designed to be engaging and accessible sessions that improve understanding of nutrition, physical activity and lifestyle management, while also exploring motivation, confidence and mental wellbeing.
We don’t expect somebody to completely transform their life during a two-hour seminar. Our aim is much more realistic: to provide knowledge, create motivation and give people practical tools that can help them take their next positive step.
That first step might be changing what they eat, becoming more active, improving their routine, joining a group, reconnecting with other people or simply deciding that they are ready to make a change.
THE BOLDMOTION APPROACH
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM OUR HEALTHY LIVING SEMINARS:
Our Healthy Living Seminars are approximately two hours long and delivered face-to-face in the Norfolk and Waveney region. They are designed to be engaging and accessible sessions that improve understanding of nutrition, physical activity and lifestyle management, while also exploring motivation, confidence and mental wellbeing.
At the heart of our seminars are two frameworks that work together: The BOLD Dietary Awakening and The MOTION System.
BOLD is about awareness and knowledge. Through the BOLD Dietary Awakening, we look at nutrition, current eating habits and how becoming more aware of our food choices can help us make healthier, more informed decisions. MOTION is about turning that knowledge into positive action. It brings together motivation, mental wellbeing, nutrition, physical activity, realistic planning, community support and recognising progression. During our seminars, we take you through both frameworks step by step. BOLD helps you understand. MOTION helps you act.

We put the BOLD into MOTION.Then you go straight into:
THE BOLD DIETARY AWAKENING
Break free from convenience eating. Learn to fuel your body with purpose. The BOLD DIETARY AWAKENING is a four-stage mindset shift that helps you transition from unconscious, convenience-based eating to a more informed, nourishing and sustainable lifestyle.
This isn’t a crash diet. It’s a guided awakening, one stage at a time:
Blind eating is unaware and unintentional. In this starting stage, eating is driven by habit, emotion, taste, and convenience. You’re unaware of the calories, ingredients or long-term health effects of your food choices. You may eat impulsively, skip meals or rely heavily on ultra-processed snacks and takeaways with little thought to how food affects your body, energy, or mood. This is where many people begin and there’s no shame in that. The important thing is recognising it. Awareness is the first step towards change
Observe & Count begins your nutritional awakening. This is the awareness stage. You begin to observe what you’re eating and count the calories (or track food more generally) to understand your current habits. You might use a food diary, an app, or simply read food labels and serving sizes more attentively. You may be surprised at what you find. Hidden sugars, oversized portions or how many extra calories are in “harmless” snacks and drinks. This stage isn’t about judgement or obsessing over numbers. It’s about curiosity, honesty, building food literacy and developing greater awareness of what you’re eating.
Load your plate with balance and intention. Once you’ve built awareness, the next step is to start loading your plate with nutrient-rich, balanced foods. This is where you learn practical eating strategies like the “Eatwell Guide” from the UK’s NHS. Begin to add more fibre, protein and whole foods to your diet. You move away from calorie obsession and toward nutritional quality. You aim for meals that fuel you properly: slow-burning carbs, lean protein, healthy fats and plenty of vegetables. This is the most empowering stage for many people. Starting to feel the benefits of eating well and beginning to build sustainable habits. Healthy eating doesn’t have to mean eating perfectly. It means finding a realistic balance that you can maintain. Fuel your body rather than simply filling it.
Discover a new way of living. This final stage is about long-term transformation. You now start to discover the deeper benefits of whole foods, minimally processed ingredients and clean eating. Not just for weight management, but for energy, skin, mood, longevity and disease prevention. You may begin choosing organic, additive-free options. You pay attention not just to calories, but to food quality, environmental impact and even packaging safety. At this stage, you might adopt the 100-Year Rule: “If it didn’t exist 100 years ago, don’t eat it.” The aim isn’t perfection. It’s to discover a healthier relationship with food that works for you. Real food. Better choices. Lasting habits.
YOU’VE BUILT THE KNOWLEDGE. NOW IT’S TIME TO PUT IT INTO MOTION.
Understanding your food choices is an important first step, but lasting change also needs motivation, positive action and support. That’s where the MOTION System begins.
THE MOTION SYSTEM
Our six-stage MOTION System is designed to help turn knowledge into positive action and support your progress along the way. Start your journey by following these six simple steps:
Assessing your current self – Motivation gives you a reason to begin; measuring gives you somewhere to begin from. At our seminars, we encourage you to think about what you genuinely want to change and, importantly, why you want to change it. Motivation doesn’t mean waking up every morning feeling enthusiastic. Motivation can come and go. That’s why we look at realistic goals, positive routines and small, achievable actions that can help keep you moving forward when motivation dips. Healthy living isn’t only about what happens to your body. We also encourage awareness of mental wellbeing, confidence, mood, self-esteem and the way our thoughts, routines and social connections can affect how we feel. We also help you assess your physical starting point. Rather than concentrating solely on body weight, we look at body shape and measurements such as waist-to-hip ratio, recognising that everybody is different. Then we look at achieving a healthier body shape. We don’t work on the assumption that “one size fits all”. Everyone is unique. BOLDMOTION isn’t a mental-health treatment or counselling service. Our role is to promote healthy lifestyles, positive routines, physical activity, confidence, motivation and social connection as part of overall wellbeing. Find your why. Know your starting point. Take your first step and take greater control of your own thoughts and actions. We encourage you to “ignite the fight and delete the flight!”
Consume healthy foods, calories and explore the fundamentals of healthy eating using the NHS Eatwell Guide. At our seminars we look at what you currently consume. With food examples at hand, clients will be able to actually fill their plates to help assess their current intake. Although the NHS Eatwell Guide offers valuable advice, it’s not widely promoted or easily accessible. Our seminars aim to bridge that gap by raising awareness of existing guidelines. We help you transition from convenience-based eating to a more conscious, controlled and nourishing approach through the four stages of the BOLD Dietary Awakening, explained in its own section above. We help you work out how to calculate the calories that your body needs to maintain your body weight at your current lifestyle, including your lifestyle while at work and in your own time, and whether your lifestyle is inactive or active. The aim isn’t to make people frightened of food or obsessed with calories. It’s to provide the knowledge needed to make better-informed choices. Knowledge gives you choices. Better choices can create change.
Get yourself moving! Build an exercise routine that suits your lifestyle. Whether that’s a group class like our own BOLDBURN 1000, home workouts like Joe Wicks, Courtney Black, Shaun T or daily activity. The goal is to sustain, enjoy and boost your health and confidence. Physical activity isn’t only about changing your body. Becoming more active can also provide routine, achievement, social interaction and a positive focus, while supporting both physical and mental wellbeing. For somebody who has become inactive, isolated or lacking in confidence, simply getting moving can be an important first achievement. Don’t just exercise. Find movement you enjoy.
Compare and understand different calorie counting diet frameworks like WeightWatchers, Slimming World or our own – BOLDBURN 1000. Learn how to manage calorie intake, create a calorie deficit if needed and find a balance that works for the long term. No plan will work indefinitely if it doesn’t fit realistically into your life. We encourage participants to create achievable goals and make changes that can be repeated, rather than attempting an extreme transformation that lasts only a few days. Motivation can get you started. A sustainable plan helps you continue. Small changes. Repeated consistently.
We want you to be the healthiest and best version of yourself and we know staying motivated isn’t always easy. Life gets busy, energy dips and sometimes we need a little extra push. That’s why we’ve created our BOLDMOTION Healthy Living WhatsApp group chat! This is a private, supportive space filled with like-minded people who are on the same journey as you. It’s a community that lifts each other up, offering motivation, tips, check-ins and encouragement, and it’s free to join after attending one of our seminars. Healthy living doesn’t have to be a journey you take alone. Social connection, encouragement and feeling part of something can make an enormous difference when you’re trying to make positive changes. Sometimes motivation comes from within. Sometimes it comes from somebody else saying, “Come on, let’s do this.” The community aspect of BOLDMOTION can be particularly valuable for people who have become socially isolated, lost confidence or simply need a reason to get out, meet people and become involved in something positive.
Regularly assess your body shape and weight. Track your progress to stay consistent and celebrate how far you’ve come. Reinforce positive habits and keep your body and mind aligned with your goals for lasting results. Tracking your body shape and weight regularly is an important part of staying on top of your healthy journey. It’s not about chasing perfection; it’s about staying aware, setting realistic goals and celebrating your progress. Whether you use a scale, take measurements or take before and after progression pictures, just remember… It’s not about daily changes, but long-term direction. Be kind to yourself, stay consistent and use your results as inspiration. Progress isn’t only physical. Notice positive changes in your fitness, energy, confidence, mood, motivation, eating habits, daily routine and social connection too. For one person, progress might mean losing excess body fat. For another, it could mean preparing a healthy meal, completing their first exercise class, getting out of the house more often or having the confidence to join a group. Be kind to yourself and recognise the small wins. Progress, not perfection.

TRAINING IDEAS & PLANS
When you hear the word “exercise”, you might picture repetitive gym routines or endless treadmill runs. Forcing yourself to do something you don’t enjoy isn’t necessary. Staying active doesn’t have to feel like a chore. Dancing, hiking, boxing, kayaking and mountain biking are just a few examples of the many enjoyable fitness opportunities available. Joining a fitness club can also be a great way to socialise, stay motivated and make new friends along the way.
For someone who has become isolated, lost their routine or lacks confidence, simply having somewhere to go, something positive to work towards and other people to do it with can be an important step.
Have a look at the clubs, groups and training sessions available in your local area. You might discover something you genuinely enjoy.
If you prefer not to exercise outdoors or would rather work out in the comfort of your own home, there are plenty of online options available. Trainers and coaches such as Joe Wicks, Courtney Black and Shaun T offer excellent training plans and routines, many requiring little or no equipment. You’ll also find hundreds of free classes on YouTube, including Pilates, yoga and HIIT workouts. Let’s make it a lifestyle!
We also have our own fun workout classes, BOLDBURN 1000. This forms part of our healthy-living concept, combining greater awareness of food intake with increased physical activity. Further details of classes are coming soon.
Enjoy boxing? Boxing can be a fun and challenging way to become more active, improve fitness and build confidence. We’ve partnered with Ultimate Boxing, Elvos Norwich and Thrive.
DIET PLANS
BOLDMOTION Healthy Living is about balance, calorie awareness and building healthy habits that can realistically be maintained. There is no single approach that works for everybody.
Examples of established weight-management programmes include WeightWatchers and Slimming World, both of which focus on weight management through changes to eating habits. Instead of counting calories, they work on a SmartPoints / Syns system that assigns values to foods based on their nutritional content. Members are given a daily and weekly points allowance to help control their food intake.
MyFitnessPal is a useful tool for people who want to track their food intake and become more aware of calories, portion sizes and the nutritional content of everyday foods. It’s not about obsessing over every calorie; it’s about developing awareness of what you’re consuming. The app can also scan product barcodes, making it relatively simple to record food and build a clearer picture of your eating habits.
The BOLDBURN 1000 is our own concept combining greater awareness of calorie intake with increased physical activity. The principle is to create a modest overall calorie deficit through a combination of food choices and exercise rather than relying on extreme restriction. Individual energy requirements vary, so calorie targets should be appropriate to the individual and can be discussed at our seminars. Most importantly, we want people to develop a healthier relationship with food, movement and their own bodies. Healthy living shouldn’t be something you endure until you’ve reached a target — it should become something you can live with.
We want you to be the healthiest and best version of yourself and we know staying motivated isn’t always easy. Life gets busy, energy dips and sometimes we need a little extra push.
That’s why BOLDMOTION isn’t based on motivation alone. Knowledge, realistic goals, routine, community and recognising your own progress can help you keep moving when that initial burst of motivation isn’t there.
Meet the team
Andy Godbold – Founder: “While my foundation is in physical fitness, I’ve learnt first-hand how important the balance between nutrition, movement and mental wellbeing can be to our overall health. Through working closely with actors, performing myself, coordinating stunt action and keeping myself fit, I’ve become increasingly aware of the need for practical, accessible knowledge around healthy living. But knowing what to do isn’t always enough. We also need motivation, confidence and a realistic way of turning that knowledge into action. That’s why I developed the BOLDMOTION Lifestyle seminars.”
James Collins – Coach / Trainer: “With a background in boxing and personal training, I feel I can bring high energy, discipline and motivation to every session. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to push your limits, I’d love to help you achieve your goals with confidence.”
Rosa Hughes – BOLDMOTION Lifestyle Coordinator: “Hello! I’m Rosa. I like to keep everything running smoothly to ensure we have a successful, fun and unique community. I will be supporting clients from the moment they walk through the door, helping to coordinate seminars and events and answering questions along the way. Fitness and wellbeing have always been a huge part of my life and I can’t wait to hear and share experiences with you all.” See Rosa’s blog here.
BOLDMOTION Lifestyle Retreat
Based in East Anglia, we also run some of our seminars at a small country retreat. These are slightly longer three-hour sessions in a countryside setting, with the added option of outdoor exercise within our six-acre woodland, ice baths and use of a fully equipped fitness studio.
The retreat setting gives us an opportunity to combine healthy-living education with physical activity, social interaction and time away from everyday routines. It can also provide a great environment for group sessions, team building, confidence building and positive shared experiences.
Our Clients, GP Referral & Young People
HEALTHY BODY • HEALTHY MIND • POSITIVE DIRECTION
Our seminars cater for a broad range of people, from those simply interested in developing a healthier lifestyle to people referred by their GP to become more physically active.
We also welcome opportunities to work with community organisations and organisations supporting young people who are not currently in education, employment or training (NEET). For some young people, the first goal may not be weight loss or improving athletic performance. It may be rebuilding confidence, establishing a routine, becoming more active, meeting other people, finding motivation or discovering something they enjoy.
These positive changes can also help young people develop the confidence, motivation, communication skills and personal routines that may support their progression towards employment, education, training or an apprenticeship.
BOLDMOTION can provide a positive, informal environment in which young people can explore healthy living while developing motivation, confidence, teamwork, social connection and achievable personal goals.
We’re not an employment, education, counselling or mental-health service.
Instead, we use our areas of experience – healthy living, physical activity, motivation and community – to encourage young people to take achievable positive steps and, where appropriate, become more confident about moving towards their next opportunity.I
Team Building & Group Development
We also offer seminars and retreat options for company team-building sessions. Sessions can combine healthy-living education, physical activity, motivation, teamwork and social interaction in an engaging environment.
Our approach can also be adapted for community groups and organisations working with young people, with an emphasis on participation, confidence, positive routines, teamwork and achievable goals. The objective isn’t to lecture people about how they should live. It’s to get people involved, thinking, moving, communicating and hopefully leaving with greater knowledge, motivation and confidence than when they arrived.
For organisations supporting young people who are NEET, sessions can also focus on transferable qualities such as confidence, communication, teamwork, motivation, goal-setting and developing positive routines – all of which may help prepare a young person for their next steps towards employment, education or training.
Our Seminar Nutritionists
At our seminars, we also have access to experienced nutrition professionals who can provide guidance on healthy, lower-calorie, whole-food meal planning.
Cath Watts is one of our nutritionists and is a Registered Associate Nutritionist (ANutr) and Health Coach. Cath’s qualifications and experience include an MSc in Sport & Exercise Nutrition from the University of Westminster, registration with the Association for Nutrition (AfN), and experience in diabetes remission, nutrition and cancer. She provides evidence-based knowledge about the impact of nutrition on health and wellbeing. Cath has a passion for educating and empowering people to make positive changes to their diets.
