Who's up for an adventure?

For those who know me, will know that I love Tough Mudder and have done 25 events since 2014.

I will be taking a team from to do Tough Mudder Midlands on Sunday 5th July 2026.

We will be running to raise money for the amazing charity a charity set up by our lovely friend in memory of his little girl Rosie.

For those that haven't done a Mudder before, its a 15km obstacle course with a lot of mud and challenges... but most importantly, the event is good fun and brilliant team work πŸ’ͺ

We won't be leaving anyone behind on the course, so its a great opportunity to try something new and push yourself out of your comfort zone, with support and as part of a team.

If you want to join us there is an ambassador discount code attached, or you could sign up to volunteer on the Saturday and get a free run on the Sunday.

If you want to be part of the team then coment the word Mud on this post and I will add you to a group with the information for sign up etc.

Set a goal for this year and smash it as part of the best team at Midlands

Sometimes people come into our lives and they inspire and motivate us more than we initially realise they will... this lady is one of those people.

Watching her journey inspired me to try and achieve, now I'm proud that shes my posing coach and I'm learning a lot from her.

I still have so much to learn about the wonderful sport of bodybuilding and I still have a long way to go with my physique, but the journey continues and so does the learning.

Thank you always for the support .the.mould.coaching

48 years of age, mum, grandmother, business owner... still learning, still growing, still developing and living every day as a blessing πŸ™πŸ©΅

... the grind continues!

Hi 😊 for those who don't know, I am a 48 year old mother of 5, full time caregiver to an SEN child with neurological damage, grandmother of 2, dog mum to 3 pups, running a full time coaching & sports massage business.

These photos taken October 2023 (UK size 22) & January 2026 (UK size 8), show the progress made by not giving up:

❌️ No crash diets
❌️ Not doing hours of cardio
❌️ Not missing out on special occasions

βœ…οΈ Consistency
βœ…οΈ Lifting weights at least 3 times a week
βœ…οΈ Getting my steps in
βœ…οΈ Eating a balanced diet with all of my favourite foods
βœ…οΈ Maintaining a calorie deficit
βœ…οΈ Going on holiday whilst losing weight
βœ…οΈ Setting clear and attainable goals
βœ…οΈ Juggling it with a busy family & full times business

There is NO magic trick to making a sustainable lifestyle change. There is no fast track that will work for the long term.

Make the changes.
Stick to them.
Follow a sustainable plan.
Enjoy the process.

Amazing second posing session with the incredible Natalie

Learning so much and totally out of my comfort zone, but loving the journey and loving learning to appreciate my own body and not be consistently self critical.

Women like Natalie, at Anytime Fitness, .the.mould.coaching are amazing people to be surrounding myself with... all working on themselves and all using their platforms to empower and lift other women.

Just remember that as women we should be raising each other and supporting each other, not competing and pulling each other down.

Love working with my Higgiefit girls and supporting them, and love being inspired and learning from the best women in this industry πŸ’ͺπŸ™πŸ‘

2025 was amazing and developmental... I learned a lot and continue to learn daily.

My business is continuing to grow and I'm forever grateful that you put your trust in me to help with your injuries & fitness journeys.

Christmas time was spent well, with my beautiful children & grandchildren ... sharing time & good homemade food πŸ₯°

I start 2026 in a strong & positive place ... continuing to document my journey from 102kg (size UK22) to stage physique for PCA Bikini Masters (over 45s).

Not losing sight of what really matters, family time, & why I'm pushing forward... to be my best version for them and to show my kids that no matter what life throws at you, anything is possible πŸ™ with hard work and focus.

I never take what I have forgranted 🩡πŸ’ͺ

Thank you always for the guidance of my amazing bodybuilding coach .the.mould.coaching

If you need a helping hand in 2026 to achieve your fitness goals, what ever they are and to strike a healthy balance between life's commitments and showing up for yourself, give me a message πŸ’ͺπŸ₯° and come and join our lovely, empowering community of women supporting women!

Final resistance session of 2025... what a year its been!
Can't wait to see what 2026 brings and how far I can take my fitness journey.

A massive well done to my Higgiefit training community. They have supported each other and smashed their own goals, both fitness related and personally, whilst building the most supportive community 🩡πŸ’ͺ

Whilst my mind is never far away from my friends in Gaza, I feel so blessed to be able to do what I love for my career and share my knowledge with my wonderful clients in order to help them change their habits and achieve their goals.

So, to all of my personal training clients and sports massage clients, thank you so much for your continued support... it means so much πŸ™πŸ©΅

Excited for 2026 πŸ₯°πŸ©΅

What a journey. Spending my lunchtime reflecting on the journey so far back to my fitness life and back to health. Pics: Oct 23 to Nov 25 (today's check in!)

For those who have recently started to follow me:
I'm Maria, the face behind Higgiefit, a sports and remedial therapist, personal trainer and sports science teacher.

I have 5 children & 2 beautiful grandsons, 3 dogs & 3 grandpuppies πŸ˜‚

I've been in sports & fitness for most of my life, having competed in Taekwondo Internationally, in addition to playing roller derby and running 25 events and several other OCR races.

My health & fitness took a back seat supporting my husband with a military career in the RAF, raising a large family whilst he was away, studying at Uni for a combined 9 years, fostering many teenagers & finally adopting a then 4 year old with complex neurological needs, whilst working as a full time lecturer... add Covid & you get the picture.

Despite my knowledge, I was sleep deprived & running on stress, leaving me at a size UK22 & weighing 102kg (I'm 5ft4). My health was bad, ending up with depression, blood pressure issues & having to have surgery to remove growths in my womb in 2021.

By 2023 I'd had enough & decided to sort things out, prioritising my own health with good food choices & resistance training.

In the past two years I set a goal to compete in my first body building competition at the age of 48... I've also run my first Ultra Marathon this year!

The hard work has paid off! I am now running my remedial massage and personal training business full-time, gaining a better work life balance, I am also down to a UK8 size & weight 66kg with definition, as the aim was always health, not being skinny!

I'm now officially in prep for my competition in May 26 with the help of my amazing coaches .the.mould.coaching &

I'm proud of the journey I've been on and I love helping my clients to achieve their personal goals, be that fitness, mobility, health or aesthetic aims.

If any of this resonates with you then drop my page a follow or DM me for information about online or face to face coaching. Let me help you to achieve your goals!

This Saturday we took over for a wonderful, fun photo shoot with the brilliant and the wonderful help of fab hairdresser who was on hand to make sure everyone was pampered if needed 😊

I am so incredibly proud of my amazing ladies who stepped out of their comfort zone and had their photos taken.
This is such an achievement as most of these ladies started their journey with a fear of coming to the gym at all... and look at them now!

This isn't a 'before and after' post, because fitness is soooo much more than that! It's about falling in love with the process, learning about balanced nuturion, enjoying and feeling confident in the gym, understanding the importance of rest and recovery, but for these ladies its also about the sisterhood of this fitness community.

These women support each other through life and everything that is thrown at them, which can be so challenging. The life experiences shared are just as valuable as the time in the gym. This is a group of women from their 20s through to their 70s, absolutely taking up space in the gym and smashing their goals... and looking phenomenal!

I am a very proud coach, but I am simply their guide and the facilitator... these women are showing up for themselves and thats what it takes!

I joined in with the shoot, as I firmly believe that I won't ask my clients to do anything I'm not happy to do myself... and it was good to share my personal progress too.

We then all headed for a beautiful meal at the amazing and the food was as delicious as always.

If you're feeling stuck and want to take that first step towards a healthier life then give me a message and we can have a no pressure chat.

We will be doing another shoot in 6 months and I'm excited to see what they and my other wonderful clients achieve πŸ’ž

...things just got real!!!!

All registered for my first body building show in May 2026.

Back in October 2023, despite years of experience in the fitness industry, I was lost and in the worse shape of my life, both physically and mentally. I had physical health problems including having to have tumours removed during Covid, high blood pressure and crippling levels of self loathing. Top this off with the joys of going through the menopause and you get the picture.

Raising a disabled child with complex needs, parenting my older children through University and the challenges of young adulthood, fostering, teaching and battling my own mental health issues had left me feeling completely deflated and sitting at 102kg and a UK size 22 - the biggest I've ever been.

Something snapped when I looked at this photo and I realised I needed to change. 2 years on and I'm now officially in prep to compete in the 2026 season. I am now down to a UK size 8, full of energy and feeling like I've found me again at the grand age of 48.

Excited to see what happens and where this journey takes me, with the help of my inspirational coach Claire. Thank you as always to my amazing husband for continuing to support me all the way and my brilliant children and Higgiefit community for being the best support... bring on prep over Christmas πŸ˜‚

If you can resonate with this or need a hand to get back on track then drop me a message and let's help you to get back to being you!
