Did you know women start losing muscle after 30?

This is called sarcopenia.

How old are you now– 35? 45? 50?

That means the process has already started… but the good news is: it’s never too late to do something about it! ✨

Don’t wait until you struggle to climb the stairs, pick up your groceries or get up from the sofa without having to push yourself up with your hands.

Start building strength now- your future self will thank you! ❣️

Small, consistent steps make a huge difference.
Even 2–3 short strength sessions a week can change everything.

💬 Not sure where to start?

Message me and I’ll help you create a simple, personalised plan to get stronger and feel amazing!

One of the best parts of my job?
Seeing women who once felt nervous in the gym now walking in with confidence ✨

This amazing review sums it up- more confidence, more strength and real results.

That’s exactly what you’ll get inside my new small group PT sessions- workouts, accountability and a whole lot of support.

A few shots from my mum’s and Manuel’s visit 😍
It was amazing seeing Summer spending time with her grandma, it’s been a whole year since we last saw them, dancing away at their wedding 💃✨
So we did our best to soak it all in and cherish every moment.

Life’s busy (in a good way, of course) but there’s been little energy or headspace to keep up with the gram lately.
Hopefully I’m back now for good!
First, catching up on the family photo dump, then back to doing what I love most- motivating and educating the beautiful women in this space to feel stronger, fitter, and happier ❣️

Over the past month, I’ve changed my training.
I went from doing a bit of everything and training whenever and whatever I felt like to following a 3-day full-body workout routine.
I know that’s not a lot but it’s enough.
It’s enough to see results and enough to stay consistent. And it also allows me to add things that I enjoy doing- like gymnastics.

The kind of training I promote is doable and something that can fit into anyone’s busy life
I’m a mum myself, I run my own business and I’ve got other commitments.
As much as I love training, I just want to get a good, quick session in and then spend the rest of my time with family and friends, outside the gym.
The first week of any new program is always tough. It leaves me tired and sore.
But after that, training should give you energy, it should leave you feeling strong and powerful. And that’s exactly how I feel now.

So if you’re ready to train smart, not just hard and if you want training to be a positive addition to your life, but you’re not quite sure where to start…
Drop me a message.
I’m always happy to help

I didn’t have the chance to meet Dan but I’ve heard so much about the amazing person and coach he was.

You could really feel it in the gym today, how deeply he’s missed.

Grateful to have been part of this.
Thanks for letting me join you for the workout ❣️

April 2025

In May! 🤷‍♀️
How are we already a week into May? April has to be the fastest month ever!

It was mostly a month of decorating 👩‍🎨 and also celebrating, spending great time with family and chasing around silly Summer- this girl’s growing up way too fast!

Highlights of the month
✨Olympic lifting workshop with
✨ experiencing the executive lounge at the Derby match after winning a couple of tickets 🍷 ⚽️
✨ an active Easter with the fam ❣️
✨ Manchester trip ☕️
✨ big birthday party 🥳
✨ Summer’s joining our group sessions! 🏋️‍♀️. Btw. I’m still baking sourdough… I just sometimes forget the salt or get the proportions a bit wrong 😅

Here’s to May… and hen do! Bring it on!

Strength training works best when you eat to support it, not when you’re constantly hungry and restricting yourself all the time.

Say no to:
- fad diets
- low-calorie eating
- naming food good or bad

Instead choose smart, balanced eating that keeps you feeling STRONG, energised and in control.
If you’re constantly tired, moody or obsessing over calories- it’s not working for you, no matter what the scale says.
Food is fuel, especially if you want to lift heavier, feel better and actually see progress.

But to have the freedom to enjoy the occasional treat or night out without guilt, you’ve got to build a good foundation first.

That means getting a bit more disciplined- setting routines, building habits and staying consistent even when motivation dips. It’s about making meal plans and sticking to them, scheduling your training, and pushing yourself.
And once you’ve nailed the basics, you can have balance.
You can enjoy your food.
And you’ll still be making progress.

Do you want to finally hit your goals?

Make it simple.
Make it visual.
Make it doable.

Instead of thinking about the big end goal every day (which just feels miles away), focus on the small wins that stack up over time.

Here’s a plan you can steal:
1. Pick a realistic goal + deadline
2. Break it into weekly targets
3. Pick 1–3 simple actions to focus on each day

That’s it.
Keep it boring, keep it working!

Example:
Goal: Lose 5kg by June
This week’s focus:
- 10k steps a day
- Hit my calories 5/7 days
- Get 7 hours of sleep

You don’t need a perfect week.
You need to show up more often than not.

4 GYM MISTAKES THAT MIGHT BE HOLDING YOU BACK
and what to do instead – because you deserve to see results!

❌ Only doing cardio
Cardio’s great for your heart and mood but if that’s all you’re doing, you’re missing a big piece of the puzzle.
✨ Add strength training to boost your metabolism
Lifting weights helps you build lean muscle, which means you’ll burn more calories even at rest. Plus, it’s the best thing for supporting your body as you age!

❌Lifting too light
If you can breeze through your reps while chatting away… it’s probably too easy.
✨Challenge yourself- aim for 8–12 reps that feel tough
You want those last few reps to feel like a real effort (but still with good form). That’s where the magic happens!

❌Not eating enough protein
Especially for women, it’s so common to under-eat protein… and then wonder why we’re not seeing changes in strength, energy or body shape.

✨Aim for 25–30g of protein with every meal
Think: eggs, Greek yoghurt, chicken, tofu, cottage cheese or a quality protein shake if needed.

❌Expecting fast results
We all want that quick win but when it doesn’t happen fast enough, it’s easy to get disheartened and give up.
✨Focus on consistency over quick fixes
One good session won’t change your body but string together a few months of consistent effort and that’s when you see big shifts- in your strength, energy, confidence and mindset.

Remember- it’s not about being perfect. It’s about learning, adjusting and staying in it.

Which one of these do you think you’ve been doing? Let me know in the comments!

Do you scroll your phone first thing in the morning?
I used to and before even saying good morning to my husband I’d be straight on my phone.

And I get it- social media can be a fun distraction. But let’s talk about what it’s doing to our dopamine (‘the feel good’ chemical)…

The quick hit of reels, likes, notifications trains your brain to keep chasing stimulation all day long.
So instead of feeling calm and focused, you’re more likely to:
✨ Get distracted easily
✨ Crave sugar or more screen time
✨ Get bored quicker
✨ Struggle to be present or motivated

Your brain gets used to fast feel good hits- instead of the slow, satisfying wins like a proper workout, a nourishing breakfast or ticking something off your list.
That’s why I made a simple rule:
No social media before 9am or after 9pm.
I still check my phone for work but no doomscrolling before my day even starts.

And if you’re working on your body image?
Unfollow anyone who makes you feel like rubbish!
You don’t need that in your brain first thing in the morning. Protect your peace.

Instead I’ve started my mornings slower: a cup of coffee, a little stretch, some deep breaths.
Maybe a walk, a bit of journaling, or just writing down 3 things I’m grateful for.
It sets the tone for the whole day and honestly, it’s been a game changer.
Try it and let me know how it feels. You deserve to start your day with calm, not chaos.
