Before-and-after photos can show results. 📸

Of course they can.

They can show that somebody’s shape, size or appearance changed over time. For the person sharing them, they may represent consistency, effort and something they feel genuinely proud of.

But here’s the part we don’t talk about enough:

Sometimes you reach the “after,” see that your body has changed—and it still doesn’t feel good enough.

Instead of noticing the progress that is there, you zoom in on what hasn’t changed. You compare individual body parts and decide the difference isn’t noticeable enough.

Something that was supposed to prove how far you’ve come becomes another opportunity to criticise yourself.

Before-and-after photos can also make the person viewing them examine their own body more closely. 👀

You wonder why your results don’t look the same, and the message can begin to feel like the body on the left is the problem while the body on the right is the one worthy of celebrating.

That doesn’t mean every before-and-after photo is bad.

It means two photographs cannot tell you the entire story.

They can show an appearance change, but they can’t show whether the process was healthy, sustainable or enjoyable.

They can’t show improved energy, better movement, less pain or the confidence to walk into a group alone.

They can’t show the first time somebody chooses a heavier weight, completes something they once believed they couldn’t do or returns after a difficult week without believing they’ve failed.

That is why I don’t use them to market my business.

Not because they can’t show results, but because I don’t want anybody arriving on my page to feel like disliking their current body is the price they must pay before caring for it.

At The Body Trainer, we celebrate strength, energy, confidence, consistency and finding movement you can realistically continue. 💪🏽

Your body may change along the way. It also may not change in a way a photograph can capture.

Either way, your progress still counts.

And your body is welcome here before it changes at all.

There’s a reason you won’t find before-and-after photos plastered all over this page.

Because some of the most important progress happening here wouldn’t show up in one anyway.

If I only measured progress by kilos lost or bodies looking smaller, I would have missed almost everything that mattered here.

Tracey nearly stopped coming because she felt unfit and convinced herself she couldn’t do it.

Mae arrived anxious about fitting in, communicating comfortably and whether she would feel like part of the group.

Nic worried she wasn’t fit enough and that the workout might make her feel sick in front of everyone.

So when you look at these women and assume they walked in confident…

They didn’t.

Confidence wasn’t part of the equipment they brought to their first session

It came later.

It came from learning the exercises instead of feeling like they were expected to already know them.

From being greeted by name.

From discovering nobody was standing around judging them.

And from returning enough times that the place that once felt intimidating started to feel familiar.

Now Tracey feels stronger, fitter and mentally better in herself.

Mae feels comfortable putting herself out there, talking to people and being part of the community.

Nic is giving things a go that she never believed she could do—and sometimes surprising herself with what she achieves.

That’s the kind of progress I wish we spoke about more.

Not because physical goals don’t matter.

But because a smaller body isn’t the only evidence that something is working.

Sometimes progress is walking in without the same knot in your stomach.

Choosing a heavier weight without waiting for permission.

Returning after a difficult week without deciding you’ve ruined everything.

Feeling stronger and more capable in your body.

Or realising that exercise has quietly become something you enjoy instead of something you have to force yourself through.

These women didn’t arrive as one big, confident friendship group.

They arrived individually, carrying their own worries and reasons why this might not be for them.

Then they kept coming—and built the confidence they thought they needed before starting.

If you’ve just found my page, heya—I’m Alyce 👋🏽

I’m a personal trainer, business owner, first-time uni student at 38 and single mum to a very opinionated and involved seven-year-old 😂

I’ve worked in the fitness industry for over ten years, and I created The Body Trainer for people who want proper coaching without the pressure and intimidation that can come with traditional fitness spaces.

A big part of what I do is help people move away from the old-school idea that exercise needs to hurt, food needs to be earned and you have to dislike your body enough to change it.

Body-positive training doesn’t mean you can’t have goals, want to feel different or challenge yourself.

It simply means shame doesn’t need to be part of the plan.

You shouldn’t need to already feel fit, confident or comfortable in a gym before you’re allowed to receive support.

You can arrive nervous.

You can bring your child.

You can tell me you haven’t exercised in years.

You can ask questions without feeling silly, have an exercise adjusted without feeling like you’re holding everyone up and take your time learning something new.

We’ll still work hard.

I’ll encourage you to challenge yourself, help you choose weights that feel appropriately difficult and probably lose count of your reps occasionally 😂

But you’ll never be shouted at, shamed or made to feel like your body is a problem we need to fix.

My job is to meet you where you are, help you build strength safely and make walking into your second session feel a little easier than walking into your first.

We train in Corrimal and Appin, and your first session is free.

Message me START and I’ll help you work out where to begin 💚

I know exactly what happens before someone ends up in a photo like this.

They watch my stories for weeks.

They look at the people already coming and quietly decide that everyone else is probably fitter, more confident and already knows each other.

They type out a message.

Delete it.

Tell themselves they’ll start next week.

Then next week arrives and suddenly they need new shoes, more energy, a less chaotic schedule and possibly an entirely new personality before they can come 😂

And I understand it.

Walking into a new fitness space can feel bloody uncomfortable—especially if you’ve spent years believing that exercise is somewhere you’re judged, compared or made to feel like the least capable person in the room.

But this group didn’t arrive as one big, confident friendship circle.

They arrived individually.

Some came with friends.

Some came alone.

Some barely spoke during their first session.

Some warned me immediately that they were uncoordinated.

And I can almost guarantee that someone said, “I’m probably going to be terrible at this” before we had even started.

Now look at them.

Sweaty, laughing, carrying on and willingly returning to let me make them box again 😂

Confidence wasn’t something they found before they walked into my space.

It was built through proving to themselves—one session at a time—that they could come exactly as they were and still belong here.

So if you’ve been watching from the sidelines and waiting to feel completely ready…

You probably won’t.

Come nervous.

Come awkward.

Come with a friend if that makes it easier.

Just don’t convince yourself that everybody in this photo has something you don’t.

They simply decided to give it a go.

And you can too 🌸🩷

Her current responsibilities include:

→ Appearing during PT and group sessions
→ Interrupting work calls with urgent Michael Jackson facts
→ Providing honest feedback—especially on my outfits 🙄
→ Consuming snacks from the staff kitchen
→ Finding creative uses for the equipment
→ Treating my clients like her coworkers
→ Reminding everyone that children are welcome here 😂

I’m a personal trainer, business owner, first-time uni student at 38 and single mum to this very involved seven-year-old.

The Body Trainer hasn’t been built inside perfect working hours.

It’s been built between school drop-offs, client sessions, assignments, washing uniforms and remembering what’s due when.

Sometimes with Kaia beside me, asking a new question every 45 seconds while I attempt to finish a program. 😂

There hasn’t been a separate “business life” and “mum life.”

They’ve grown alongside each other.

She’s watched me build this while I’ve been learning how to raise her.

And that’s shaped the kind of trainer I am.

Because “just make time” isn’t particularly helpful when twelve things already need you and you’re wondering where the bloody time is supposed to come from.

I understand why looking after yourself slips down the list. It doesn’t mean you don’t care.

So you won’t feel awkward bringing your child.

You won’t be judged for a messy week.

You won’t need to apologise for being a beginner or needing an exercise changed.

And you won’t be expected to arrive with unlimited energy and motivation.

You can be tired, nervous and out of routine. You don’t have to get your life together before you deserve support.

I didn’t build this for people whose lives already revolve around exercise.

I built it for people with responsibilities, unpredictable weeks and a lot happening behind the scenes—who still deserve somewhere to do something for themselves.

This business was built around the realities of my life.

I want it to be somewhere you don’t have to hide the realities of yours.

We’re very professional around here 🙃

Well, one of us is. 🕺🏼
