The benefits of having an online coach

It’s like having a coach built into your form! There are endless benefits of online coaching, as I’ve listed above⬆️

However, people overlook this service because they aren’t sure if it’s right for them. Online coaching is perfect in this fast paced world and it is growing day by day!

Online coaching would be perfect for you…
💙 If you have prior exercise/training experience and aren’t a complete beginner

💙 If you feel like you’re stuck in a rut with your training and/or nutrition. Hiring a coach takes that pressure off you and can help you find that spark again

💙 You are a busy person who needs flexibility with their training schedule. Booking in with a face-to-face PT means you stick to that time slot, but with online you can train when it suits you best

💙 If you prefer to workout at home. A gym isn’t for everyone and you can 100% get some great workouts in at home

💙 If you feel lost with your exercise programming. This removes the guess work and you receive structured planning from an educated coach

💙 If you are looking to enhance your nutrition and improve your knowledge. Nutrition is difficult, we didn’t get taught the science of nutrition at school. So again, this takes the pressure off you and allows you to enhance your dietary habits with the help of a registered nutritionist

💙 If you have a specific goal. Online coaching allows you to connect with an expert in a field you don’t have time to spend hours learning

If you feel like any of those points above resinate with you or you’d like to chat about online coaching and are interested in starting your journey then shoot me a DM📲. *limited coaching slots available

This quick stir fry is just want you need, taking only 10-15mins to make it’s the perfect fuel-filled recipe that can be enjoyed prior or post training to replenish depleted stores🔋

On top of that its super versatile, swap the prawns out for chicken if they aren’t your thang or tofu if you’re veggie/vegan😊

We go through a lot in our cycle, not just when we’re menstruating! If you feel like you’ve been hit by a bus and have 0 energy on the run up to your period… please swipe through and save this post to refer back to, this could be a relief for you🥰

New to nutrition and exercise and don’t know where to start? READ THIS ⬆️

We don’t get taught this in schools in the UK, so its no wonder we all gets so overwhelmed by all the things we see online and hear from our friends/co-workers about nutrition and what is best for us, our goals and our lifestyles⚡️

If you are new to this, please don’t feel like you should know it all and have everything together by the time you start consistently exercising💪🏼

You need to find what works for you BUT the basics stay the same✅
In this post I’ve touched on the fundamentals of exercise nutrition. Of course, so much more goes into it but this is an excellent place to start

If you feel like you need the support of a nutritionist during your health and fitness journey drop me a email or DM and we can discuss your options📲

You don’t have to go this alone but please don’t take advice from Keto Karen and Slimming World Sarah at work okay xoxoxox

Words speak louder than progress pictures 📢

Lily, I’M SO PROUD OF YOU🤗💙
Lily, has been making excellent progress and I could just share her progress pictures but, I’m not that kind of coach

I believe a lot more goes into transformations and a lot more is achieved than what those pictures show

They don’t show the behaviour changes that have occurred

They don’t show the nutritional knowledge gained

They don’t show the confidence a client has built

They don’t show the small habits that have been implemented over time to get to that point

Progression pictures are a good tool to use however, they shouldn’t be the only marker used to monitor progress

Lily has achieved so much more than just weight loss

Along with the changes to her diet to provide her with more energy⚡️, she’s now confident enough to go to the gym on her own🤩:

“I’m able to go into the gym on my own and not be intimidated or anxious! Before I started PT I would avoid going to the gym because I didn’t have a clue what to do other than run on the treadmill or go on the bike. Now i’m confident to go on my own and actually know what i’m doing.”

Don’t let lack of confidence hold you back, we ALL start somewhere🥰
If you want to be like Lily, drop me a direct message or an email and I will send you all the information you need to start your personal training or online coaching with me💙

Happy Friday💙

There is SO much more to your health and fitness than what the scale says

There are so many ways you can improve and progress that don’t involve the scale, your body weight and your physique

Having physique based goals is completely fine however, I ensure my clients have other goals to work towards too that don’t revolve around weight/the way they look🤗

Progress pictures do not show the full story, they doesn’t show:
The mental changes that have happened
The strength gained
The positive habits that have developed
The nutrition knowledge gained
The improvements in food quality
And SO much more…

Basically, there is WAY MORE to you than just the way you look and it is important to celebrate those progressions too 💕 they are still WINS 🏆

How have you progressed recently, pop it in the comments below and let’s share some positive motivation 💪🏼💙

STRONG GIRL CLUB MEMBER🚀

This women, WOW. The level hard work and determination is unreal⚡️

Danielle has had her set backs, like everyone during their health and fitness journey. The difference is, she hasn’t given up when it gets tough. Not only that but her knowledge surrounding training and nutrition has come on leaps and bounds and I couldn’t be prouder🥰

“Becks’ nutritional advice has helped me to develop a positive relationship with food and understand how it fuels my body!
Drinking enough water and eating more fruit, veg and protein has now become a natural part of my day to day.

Suffering with coeliac disease, I’m restricted with what I can eat which makes things difficult at times, but Becks is really knowledgeable, takes the time to understand and factors this in when providing nutritional guidance.
I love that I’m not stuck to a food plan, instead I’m given the knowledge to fuel my body in the right way with Becks there to support me along the way. It doesn’t feel restricted and therefore there’s no guilt or shame for eating certain things. I’m more motivated to make choices that help my workouts and make me feel good!”

I bloody love this job!
If you want to be like Danielle and change your life for the better then head to my website for all PT/online coaching/nutrition coaching enquiries or simply send me a DM 📩

Danielle you’re a little weaponed and absolute pleasure to coach💙

Please stop wearing exhaustion as a badge of honour

There is FAR too much to cover on sleep to fit into one post but I’ve tried to highlight it. I apologise this is a text-heavy one but I cannot express how important the power of sleep is💤

I learnt SO much from Matthew Walker’s book! I recommend it to everyone, so if you read one book this year make it that one! Everything is backed by science but it is so easy to digest and act upon 📖, it makes for a great bedtime read!

If you struggle to sleep, stay asleep or fall asleep I have some tips for you, swipe and see!

What you eat and when is a big one; so I will be covering this in a post on its own soon 👀😊

Hit save so you can refer back to those tips as and when you need them
Sleep well team💙💤

I am SO proud of this women⚡️

My client Izzy doesn’t give herself enough credit. She has come along way since starting PT & nutrition coaching and I couldn’t be more proud and pleased with her progress🥰

A lot of people push off or are hesitant to start PT because of previous experiences or they are just worried about actually getting started in the first place.

For example Izzy said “I’d only ever seen pushy, ‘punishment mindset’ type trainers, who gave diet advice like ‘cut our carbs’ and ‘run 5 miles when you eat cake’ and that just didn’t feel healthy or balanced of sustainable.”

Since joining me after lockdown this is Izzy’s outlook on personal training with me:

“Truly life changing. I feel like a completely different person now, and I’m still only just at the beginning really. My diet has improved, I feel strong, I feel healthy and confident and truly happy for the first time in years.”

THIS IS WHY I DO WHAT I DO🥺
I help women and men like Izzy find their sustainability with exercise and nutrition. I help budding athletes bullet proof their nutrition for optimum performance and recovery.

If you are either of those people, get in touch - my January offer for PT & online coaching only has a few days left‼️📩

you’re a star🤩💪🏼

Exercise & PMS 🏋🏼‍♀️

I didn’t know what PMS was until I became a personal trainer. To be honest I’d never heard of it before, which is quite shocking because MOST women - I’m talking 80-90% - experience it!

So, what is PMS?!
Pre-menstrual syndrome is the title given to a huge range of symptoms that a women can experience before her period. These symptoms occur in the 2 weeks running up to your period, the symptoms are ENDLESS (literally, there is 150 and counting!) but here is a few; bloating, cramps, breast tenderness, headache, changes in the skin, mood swings, extreme fatigue, backache etc…
Some women unfortunately experience these symptoms to a point where is effects their day to day and for half the month, that can be quite deflating, frustrating and just down right upsetting. The more intense form of this is called PMDD - premenstrual dysphoric disorder

Exercise and periods/PMS

I used to think you couldn’t exercise while you where on your period, however this is definitely not the case. Although every women’s experience during all the stages of the menstrual cycle are completely subjective, exercise is recommended to ease the symptoms of of periods and PMS

This doesn’t mean you need to beast yourself until the pain has gone or you’re more focused on the pure pain that your burpees bring you. You can be a bit more intuitive at this stage. Do what feels good for you in THAT moment; sometimes that’s strength training; going lighter but increasing reps for example. Yoga, pilates or even going for a walk. Other times it’s having a rest day on the sofa with a hot water bottle, some carbohydrates and fluid

You can exercise on the running up to and DURING your period. You don’t need to avoid moving your body. I know we feel like ASS sometimes but it can help. Like I said, do what feels good for YOU 🥰
Have a lovely week team💙
