💬 It’s Never Too Late to Start.

If any of this look familiar, now could be the most important time to prioritise your health and fitness.

Too many people believe the gym is just for the younger crowd — but the truth is, the older we get, the more vital it becomes to train smart and stay strong.

💪 Regular training improves mobility, strength, energy, and long-term health — all key to living a longer, happier life.

So if you've been waiting for the right time... this is it.
Contact me today and let's get you started — at your pace, with your goals in mind.

Bear Strong & Pretty – Amy 💪💖

Big shout-out to Amy, who started coaching with me a few months ago with clear goals in mind — build strength and sculpt her physique. Since then, she’s absolutely smashed it.

We’ve hit a huge milestone with a 105kg deadlift PB, built serious upper body muscle, and seen amazing quad, hamstring, and glute gains. She's becoming strong and powerful from every angle.

All of this while juggling university life, studying to become a nurse, and hospital placements — no easy task. Balancing training with a demanding schedule and managing stress is tough, so our focus has been on getting results while still making training fun and sustainable.

One of the best parts? Watching Amy’s confidence skyrocket along the way. She's growing in every sense — physically, mentally, and emotionally.

So proud of what she’s achieved so far — and this is just the beginning! 🙌

Client Shout-Out: Francis – First Strongman Show DOMINATED

Massive shout-out to Francis, who has been training with me for the past 3–4 months in preparation for his first ever strongman competition. This was a totally new style of training for him — a steep learning curve and a lot to take on in a short time — but he took it all in stride.

Francis not only adapted, he led the competition from start to finish, making zero mistakes, showing up well-conditioned, incredibly strong, and absolutely blew away both the competition and the event organisers.

What makes this even more impressive is that I didn’t train Francis like I would every other strongman. It was crucial that he still enjoyed the process — that he kept the things he loves about training front and centre. He stayed engaged, excited, and motivated every step of the way. Because at the end of the day, a coach must adapt to the client — not the other way around.

Pumped to keep working together. Huge future ahead for this guy — and we’re just getting started. 💪

🌟 Bear Strong & Pretty Elma (aka Mo) 🌟

Elma has been training with me for the past few years, joining alongside her daughter Kim. From day one, she’s been nothing short of inspirational.

After taking a long break from training, Elma came back with a loss of fitness—but absolutely no loss of spirit. Together, we’ve worked her way back up to an unbelievable level of strength and fitness, proving that age is just a number and determination is everything.

There’s no quit in Elma. She brings a light to every session—always starting with her signature: “Good morning, darling,” and finishing with a few “Thank you, darling, I enjoyed that. See you next week.” That motherly warmth and unshakable drive make it an absolute privilege to coach her.

Proud doesn’t even cover it. 💪

🐻 Bear Strong & Pretty – Courtney Bell 💪💍

It’s been just over a year since Courtney started training with me, and what a journey it’s been! From strength gains to visible changes in her physique — the progress has been nothing short of amazing (when we manage to stop the girly chats and actually train 😄).

Courtney brings energy, dedication, and plenty of laughs to every session. She’s not just a client anymore — she’s become a very close friend, and it’s been a real privilege to coach her.

Now with less than a month to go until her big wedding day, I can’t wait to see her looking and feeling her absolute best. Knowing I’ve played even a small part in that makes it all the more special 💫

Well done, Courtney — and huge congratulations! 🥂❤️

One of the biggest worries people have about online coaching?
👉 "Will it actually be tailored to ME?"

It’s a fair concern. No one wants to pay for a generic, copy-paste programme that doesn’t take your goals, lifestyle, or experience into account.

That’s why when you become one of my online clients, the first thing we do is jump on a video call to go through everything in detail — your goals, training history, schedule, and more.

From there, I design a fully bespoke programme built specifically for you and your first few weeks. After that, we review together and adjust based on your progress.

✅ Weekly check-ins
✅ Personal feedback
✅ Video support
✅ Constant communication
✅ Real coaching, from me — not some faceless app

When you're part of my team, you get me directly in your corner.
