Hello 2026 👋🏻
And hello to anyone new around here.

I’m Liv, a strength coach and sports massage therapist with over 8 years’ experience in the exercise industry. I’m also a mum to three teens and tweens.

I’m someone who didn’t start strong, but built strength over time, in the gym and in life.

I help people who want to feel stronger, more capable, and more confident in their bodies. Not just for aesthetics, but for real life. For busy lives and demanding jobs. For hormone changes, injuries, niggly joints, and wavering confidence.

I offer support that actually fits around them, rather than forcing themselves to fit into someone else’s plan.

I’m big on doing things properly. Training with intent, fuelling enough, and playing the long game. No extremes, no nonsense, and no shrinking yourself to meet someone else’s idea of what “healthy” should look like.

Over the next few months you’ll find me
💪🏻 Working with a small number of 1:1 personal training clients
💆🏼‍♀️ Offering sports massage
🏋🏻‍♀️ Teaching LBT on Wednesdays
📲 Running an 8 week online coaching block with Aaron Formby
✍🏻 Spending time putting pen to paper and shaping something I’ll share soon
🚧 Not so quietly building something new behind the scenes

This page will be a mix of training, education, honesty, progress, and real life. If you are here to learn, to feel encouraged, or to figure out how strength could fit into your life, you are very welcome here.

Thanks for being here.
2026, let’s build something solid 💪🏻

Stepping into 2026 with a lot of gratitude.

Thank you to every single client who trained with me this year, came to a class, booked in for treatment, or trusted me with their time, effort and progress. Whether you were here weekly or just for a short chapter, I appreciate you more than you know.

If you’ve enjoyed training, classes or treatments with me this year and have a moment, reviews really do help a small business like mine. You can leave one here on Facebook or on Google via this link:

I hope you all have a wonderful end to the year and get a chance to rest, reset and enjoy the festive period.

I’ll see my gym clients back from 5th January and classes resume in the studio from 7th January.

If you’re looking to kick off 2026 with structure, support and momentum, you can still sign up to the New Year Kickstart I’m running with Aaron Formby. Just drop me a message to get the link 🔗

Here’s to a strong, confident year ahead for my clients and for me 💪🏻

Right… this feels pretty special 🤍💪

Aaron and I are launching a New Year Kickstart for 2026, and it’s genuinely something we’ve talked about for a long time.

Between us, we bring 20+ years of coaching experience, and this isn’t about quick fixes or January extremes. It’s about starting the year with clarity, structure, and momentum you can actually maintain.

Over the 8 weeks, you’ll be supported with:

• A structured 8-week training plan, written by us
• Options to focus on strength, conditioning, or a hybrid of both
• Training hosted on the EverFit app — no PDFs, no spreadsheets, everything in one place
• Full calorie and macronutrient guidance, tailored to your goal

Whether you want to:
💪 get stronger
🔥 build muscle and shape
🏃‍♀️ improve fitness and conditioning
✨ or simply feel more confident and capable in the gym

We’ve got you covered.

You’ll also get access to high-protein recipe resources, because training works best when it’s properly fuelled.

Communication will be via a WhatsApp community, designed to be supportive, motivating, and positive — the kind of space that helps you stay consistent when life gets busy.

Our aim is simple:
You finish the 8 weeks stronger, fitter, more confident, and with the tools to keep going long after January.

Beginner, intermediate, or advanced — this is built to work for real people with real lives.

📅 We start Monday 5th January
📩 To join the priority list or ask any questions, just DM “Kickstart” to me or Aaron.

Spaces will be limited.

If you’re ready to start 2026 properly — not perfectly — this might be for you 🤍💪

🫖Ditch the coffee… it’s time for my clients to spill the tea.

💻 I’m at my desk, the laptop is open, and Thursday check-ins are officially a go.

👐🏻It’s been a busy Treatment Tuesday after the Abingdon Marathon — lots of tired legs enjoying well-earned recovery time!

But as we head into the colder months and coughs, colds (and covid) start doing the rounds, please remember 👇🏻

❌ If you’re feeling under the weather — coughing, blowing your nose, on antibiotics, or recovering from any kind of infection — please reschedule your appointment.

Whether it’s with me or another therapist, it’s the right thing to do. 👍🏻

Here’s why:

1️⃣ Massage will actually make you feel worse — it speeds up circulation and can spread infection faster.
2️⃣ It’s unfair on the next person coming in — many clients are post-surgery or have compromised immune systems.
3️⃣ And finally, it’s considerate to your therapist (hi 👋🏻) — self-employed and hands-on, which means no sick pay and no treatments if I catch your cold!

Let’s all look after ourselves and each other this winter

🔦Client Spotlight — From Abingdon to Spain 🇪🇸

✉️Every now and then, a message pops up that truly makes your day. This one came from a client I coached a few years ago, who has since moved back to Spain — and just look at her now 👏🏻

After taking some time away (because life happens!), she found her way back to training, reconnected with that feeling of strength and confidence, and even made it onto the podium at her local gym games! 🥈🔥

🫶🏻I absolutely love that she still keeps in touch — and it honestly means so much that she continues to follow along, cheering on my progress from afar. It’s such an honour to see her thriving and continuing to put in the work.

🔥 Because here’s the truth — strength doesn’t just change how you look…it changes how you show up for yourself.

It builds confidence, capability, and an unstoppable energy that carries into every part of life.

💪🏻 Top 5 Questions I Get Asked as a Coach
No. 1 — “Won’t lifting weights make me bulky?”

💭 For all the women out there worrying about turning into She-Hulk — here’s your friendly reminder from someone whose actual goal is to get bigger…

👉🏻 It’s really, really hard to do.

You don’t wake up one morning with quads that don’t fit your jeans — trust me, I’ve tried 😅

And if you want proof just swipe to see what muscular looks like mid off season

But let’s not focus on what lifting won’t do.
Let’s talk about what it will give you ⬇️

✨ Muscle density.
You’ll feel firmer, tighter, and stronger — not bulky.
And lifting will probably give you the shape you’re actually chasing, more than hours on the treadmill ever will.

🫀 Overall health.
Strength training has now been shown to be just as effective as cardio for keeping your heart and lungs ticking over — and when you combine both, that’s a recipe for long-term health that truly lasts.

🧠 Cognitive benefits.
Resistance training improves focus, mood, and memory — lifting weights literally makes your brain stronger.

🦵🏻 Mobility and joint health.
Strong muscles support your joints, improve movement quality, and help prevent injuries.

🧓🏻 Longevity and independence.
It’s not about PRs forever — it’s about carrying your shopping, climbing stairs with ease, and living life on your own terms.

🔥 Confidence.
Because strength doesn’t just change how you look — it changes how you show up for yourself.

So no, lifting weights won’t make you bulky.
It’ll make you capable. Confident. And a little bit unstoppable.

✨ Strong women shouldn’t be a threat — they’re proof of what’s possible.

💭 If you want to know more about how to build muscle the right way — drop me a 💪🏻 in the comments or send me a message and let’s chat.
