When Consistent Strength Training, Nutrition and Patience works!!

Consistency in exercise is the quiet architect of transformation—each workout is a small deposit into your future self, and while the scale may test your patience, trust that your body is rebuilding itself beneath the surface, becoming stronger and healthier with every choice you make to show up, even when progress feels invisible.

Remember: the changes happening inside your body—improved cardiovascular health, increased muscle tone, better insulin sensitivity, enhanced mood—are already working in your favor long before the mirror or scale catch up.

When I hear ‘But I’m not losing weight!’ Well how long has it been? It doesn’t happen overnight and it doesn’t happen unless you put the right things in place and the no excuses.

My beautiful client Works her Butt off in every class and shows up no matter what! She has been consistent and patient and her confidence shines

So what are you waiting for?? Don’t say tomorrow START NOW FOR A HEALTHIER YOU

Barbs weight-loss journey has been an amazing one!! Now at a loss of 17 kilos!! Since January

From 96cm to 86cm waist
From 114cm to 98cm on hips
From 107cm to 100cm on Chest

A perfect example of what to do once we are out of that initial weight-loss calorie deficit period.

Maintenance is a lifelong process that requires consistent but manageable effort whilst still enjoying the treats and living life!

The transition from active weight loss to maintenance can be challenging since it requires shifting from a temporary “diet” mindset to permanent lifestyle changes.

Most people find success by gradually increasing calories while maintaining the healthy habits that helped them lose weight initially.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

You are a shining example Barb of how this works!

You look so healthy and happy and are so deserving.

Super proud of you!! 👏

Keep saying that’s it I’m joining a gym? Or I feel crap, no energy, you have put on weight, tiredness, or it’s crappy weather so you can’t come …

Motivation comes and goes. Discipline and routine are what carry you through.

It’s okay to miss a day. Just don’t quit. One bad day doesn’t erase your progress.

Focus on how you feel, not just how you look. Physical changes take time, but mental and emotional benefits often show up early.

Consistency will give you the results

We all have ‘those’ days BUT I guarantee you never regret a workout you regret NOT doing it.

Start now and watch the changes for a longer and healthier life

Getting up early and seeing First light with my little (no so little !) man.
My Happy place, walks, talks and a coffee before the day really starts with pack lunches, school drop offs, classes , sports and the day to day stuff.

Simple things are the best. Trying to make a little time for me. Getting some steps in and fresh sea air

Jess, AMAZING results in just 8 weeks!!

Jess mum of 2 has lost an incredible 4.7kg in 8 weeks.

The photos speak volumes.

An absolute SUPER MUM who has been consistent throughout, even bringing her boys to class because it means she doesn’t miss a workout. That’s determination for you.

Huge focus on Nutrition with those added workouts, no excuses just getting it done!

I couldn’t be prouder of you!

An inspiration that it is possible if you really want it no matter how busy life can be.

I can see the difference not just physically. You are beaming.

3.8cm off waist
4cm Hips! It’s incredible

This is your year and you deserve it. Just the beginning

8 Week Challenge Winner Rhiannon

Mum of 3 Rhiannon has lost an amazing 6 kilos on my 8 Week Challenge!

She has lost just under 7cm around her waist and Hips and 6cm off her Chest.

During this Challenge we worked on a Calorie Deficit Diet focusing on~

-High Protein diet with Correct % breakdown Protein/fats and Carbs
-Meal prep/planning in order to stay within Calories
-Recipes relevant to these goals with Macro breakdown that were easy, still eating delicious food and having the odd treat!
-Looking at what time certain foods were eaten/avoided.
- What brands to avoid/pick

Rhiannon was also consistent with exercise, increasing overall fitness and joining my class every week to focus on Strength and Cardio along with doing her own workouts and extra walks. So impressive!

And incase you wondered, here is feedback from one of last year’s attendees:

“I found the information delivered by Dr. Apps during the peri-menopause information night to be incredibly useful. Thanks to the session, I now feel confident in exploring various options as I navigate through this stage of life. The insights shared by Dr. Apps, along with the support from the amazing group of women, have left me feeling much more informed. I can highly recommend this event to family, friends, and co-workers.”
