I don’t have any fitness goals for 2026 — here’s why.
As a women’s coach, it’s important to me to lead by example. Early in my career, I believed that meant being the fittest person in the room: the strongest, the fastest, the most disciplined. I thought my credibility lived in how hard I could push my body.
Experience has taught me otherwise.
What you and I need isn’t an example of relentless optimisation — it’s an example of how fitness can serve your life, just as it is. For those of us with jobs, families, hobbies — anyone who isn’t a professional athlete — fitness doesn’t need to be the centre of everything to be meaningful or effective.
The gym exists to serve us, not the other way around. We don’t need to be slaves to gruelling regimes to be fit and well. In fact, more often than not, chasing “more, harder, better” pulls us further away from feeling healthy, grounded, and energised.
That doesn’t mean avoiding challenge. We do need moments of effort, discomfort, and growth — those things help us thrive. But we’re not meant to live at max capacity all the time.
So the goal isn’t more discipline or higher standards anymore.
It’s balance.
Sustainability.
And a relationship with fitness that supports a full, happy life, strong, long life — will you join me? ✨
