⚡️ Tired of starting over every Monday?

You’re not lazy, unmotivated, or broken.
You just haven’t had a plan that fits your real life yet.

That’s exactly why I created Shape Up ⬇️

👉 In 8 weeks you’ll learn how to:

🍴Eat without guilt or confusion (and still enjoy chocolate, wine, pizza…)
🏋‍♀Train smart in the time you actually have (home or gym)
🗓Build habits that last through busy weeks, holidays, and family life
✅Get accountability so you finally stick with it

This isn’t a “6-week shred.” It’s coaching that gives you the tools to stop starting over.

🚀 Next round starts Monday 22nd September
Deadline to join: Friday 19th September

💬 Comment SHAPEUP below and I’ll send you all the details.

🚨 The next round of Shape Up starts 22nd Sept – comment SHAPEUP below if you want the info or to grab a spot. 🚨

Here’s the truth:
If all it took was “trying harder,” you’d already be smashing your goals.
But life’s busy. You’ve probably started and stopped more times than you can count.

That’s why having a coach is a game-changer:
✅ You don’t waste energy guessing – you get a clear, structured plan.
✅ You’ve got someone in your corner when motivation vanishes (because it will).
✅ You get an outside perspective – someone who sees the progress you don’t.
✅ You finally stop chasing shiny new diets and stick with what actually works.

Think of it like this: you wouldn’t try to DIY your car if the engine broke. You’d go to a mechanic. You wouldn’t pull your own tooth – you’d see a dentist.

So why expect yourself to navigate fat loss, strength, hormones, habits, and lifestyle alone… when this is what I do every day with people just like you?

💬 Comment SHAPEUP now and let’s make this the last time you “start over.”

👉 Imagine dropping from 56kg to 42kg in just a few weeks.
Hospitalised. Weak. Scared to eat because certain foods made you ill.
That was Heidi in April 2024.
Ulcerative colitis had stripped away her weight, her strength, and her confidence.

But fast forward 17 months and look at her now 👇
✅ Back at 57kg — with muscle, not just weight
✅ Benching her old bodyweight (42.5kg)
✅ Squatting heavier than her own bodyweight
✅ RDLs at 1.25x bodyweight
✅ Smashed a 15km Tough Mudder — every single obstacle
✅ Confident, relaxed, and enjoying food again

This isn’t a “before and after.”
This is proof that with the right approach you can rebuild stronger than ever — without fad diets, fear, or restriction.

And that’s exactly what my Shape Up program does.
We cut through the noise, build routines that work in real life, and create results that last.

🚀 The next intake starts 22nd September.
Sign ups are open now.

Tired of weekends undoing all your progress?
You’re not lazy, unmotivated or broken.

You just don’t have a plan that fits your real life yet.

Tonight I made a big lasagna — enough for me and Rosie, plus 4 extra portions for when we’re back from a wedding on Monday.

Why?

Because I know Future Me is going to be tired, probably a bit hungover, and very unlikely to want to cook from scratch.

This is what real planning looks like:
✅ A solid meal before a big weekend
✅ A plan for what happens after the event
✅ A fridge that makes it easier to bounce back
✅ Zero tracking or guilt needed

No extremes.
No “starting again” Monday.
Just a bit of foresight and some decent food in the fridge.

This is what I coach inside Shape Up:
Routines. Habits. Long-term wins that feel easy to repeat.

📩 DM me “SHAPEUP” if you’re ready to stop starting over every Monday.

I’ve seen a lot of posts lately saying things like:
“Only 4 months left... make them count!”
Or Promoting 6 or 8-week shreds to finish the year strong.

And to be honest?
That used to be me too.

When I first started coaching nearly 10 years ago, I believed that change HAD to be intense, fast, and all-or-nothing.

But now?
I want to be training, moving well, and enjoying life in my 70s.

So I coach differently.

Because here's the truth:

Going all in for a few weeks usually means going all out the minute it's over.
And then what?

You’re back in your old routine... the same one that left you feeling stuck in the first place.

The short-term mindset creates short-term results.

That’s why I help clients focus on what they can keep doing, not just what burns the most calories or drops weight the fastest.

We work on:
✅ Building a routine that fits into your real life
✅ Learning how to plan your week; meals, training, rest
✅ Making changes that actually feel doable long term
✅ Creating a mindset and identity that supports the goals you want to keep

Yes, the next 4 months matter.
But so do the next 40 years.

🟡 The next round of my Shape Up Program starts 22nd September.

If you’re ready to build something that lasts — not just another short-term push — DM me for details or to sign up.

How many times have you tried this before? 👇

❌ Cut all carbs
❌ Joined a 8-week bootcamp
❌ Tried to survive on 1200 calories
❌ Promised yourself you’ll “start again Monday”

And how many times has it actually stuck?

Here’s the problem → quick fixes don’t teach you how to live. They leave you hungry, exhausted, and right back where you started once life gets busy again.

That’s why my coaching clients are doing the September Reset instead. No fads. No guilt. Just anchoring back into the habits that actually make a difference:

✅ Protein & fibre at every meal
✅ Steps you can stick to
✅ Quality sleep
✅ Strength training for energy, bone & muscle health

I've given them a detailed framework and they’re using me and each other for accountability, so they never feel like they’re going it alone.

👉 If you’ve tried the diets, detoxes, and quick fixes and you’re ready for something that lasts, DM me today to book your free consultation.

This September could be the start you actually keep.

Stop shrinking. Start lifting.

Women have been told for decades that heavy weights are dangerous, masculine, or will make you “bulky.”

F*cking rubbish!

That lie has kept women smaller, weaker, and more prone to health issues as they age.

The truth? Muscle is protective. It shields your bones, joints, ligaments and tendons. It’s your armour against the aches, pains and fragility that too many people accept as “getting older.”

So don’t waste time with fluffy influencer workouts. Get strong. Pick up heavy weights. Own your power. Your future self will thank you.

My niece’s football team rocking their new kit for the 25/26 season 😍😁
So proud to sponsor Doveridge Junior Girls & Boys U13’s girls team

We at Doveridge are not sure many other clubs can say that their chairman and welfare officer can go head to head in a pre season friendly with their respective teams.
But tonight the u12 girls came up against the u13 girls and what a show they put on.

The score line didn't matter as all girls played their hearts out. Well done to all the girls who played this evening and good luck for the season ahead.
