My Story đź’¬
When I first stepped into the gym, I honestly had no clue what I was doing.
I was working 9–5 sat at a desk, barely moving all day. My hips and back felt stiff, achy and I was zapped of energy. I knew something had to change.
When I went to the gym I would jump on the treadmill. I didn’t even consider stepping into the weights section.
The owner of the gym encouraged me to get into strength training and set me up with a programme. This was what really changed the game for me.
I loved it! I threw myself into learning. I spent hours deep-diving into YouTube videos, podcasts and articles, trying to figure it all out on my own. Some of it worked… a lot of it didn’t.
I made plenty of mistakes and wasted time.
I started limiting myself 1200kcal a day in order to shrink my body, not realising I needed to lift weights and fuel my body rather than starve it to get the look I was really after.
The biggest breakthrough came when I invested in a coach.
For the first time, I had guidance, structure and accountability. Someone to show me how to train properly, push me in the right way, and remind me that I was capable of more than I thought.
The results weren’t just physical, I gained confidence, consistency, and a mindset shift that carried into every area of my life.
Looking back now, I’ve gone from unfit, stiff, tired and unsure where to start… to confident under a barbell, strong, energised, have run multiple half marathons and proud of the progress I’ve made.
And that’s exactly why I created Lift & Thrive.
It’s the programme I wish I’d had back then. A way to cut through all the confusion, stop wasting time with trial and error, and finally build lasting strength and confidence without the setbacks.
