I could go on for days about the last 9 years, my best advice to coaches and people entering the industry -

Surround yourself with people who challenge you to grow.
Get hours on the gym floor - learn to coach real humans, in real time, adjusting on the spot.
Don’t be afraid to be the least experienced person in the room… that’s honestly where the growth happens.

Oh and just be a good human who genuinely wants to help people and you will love your job everyday

The right core training improves pressure control, strength & resilience - essential during pregnancy & postpartum.

1️⃣ Finding Neutral Alignment - 3-4 sets of 5-8 slow breaths
Stack ribs over hips with a neutral pelvis to protect your core & pelvic floor.
2️⃣ KB Front Rack March - 3×8-12 per side

3️⃣ Kneeling Side Plank - 3×15-30 sec per side
Strengthens lateral core & hip stability safely.

“We will literally never be this young again, chase the s**t out of your dreams and do whatever makes you happy.
What a liberating feeling it is to know just how significantly insignificant we are”

Who am I and What do I offer you as your coach?

I made this same post exactly one year ago. Looking back on where I am now in comparison to this time last year is hugely different but my ethos and my drive as a coach remains exactly the same, literally couldn’t have said it better myself:

“My passion has and always will be to inspire and educate people on how to balance a healthy lifestyle, feel strong and also learn that moderation, discipline and consistency will get you far more sustainable results than an 8 week shred will.

I will always encourage people to focus on their performance, focus on feeling strong, feeling energised and feeling confident in themselves over focussing solely on how much weight they have or haven’t lost per week.

We have been raised in a world of yoyo diets and restriction, having now coached thousands of people I know I am extremely privileged to be one of the minority that was raised in a household with a different mentality entirely. We never had scales in the house, we always ate balanced fulfilling meals, I have always been active and played sport since I was young. I know this isn’t the case for many and this is ultimately what drives me to help other people understand there is more to life than restriction and striving to be as small as possible.
I want this to become your lifestyle, I’m not here to breed top tier athletes, l’m here to make a healthy lifestyle accessible to people who don’t know where to start or are feeling lost, people who think ‘that could never be me’ and people who are willing to put in the work to feel strong and confident.

If you’ve made it this far and this resonates: if you want a coach who will be direct with you, educate and support you and get you feeling confident in the gym then send me a DM and lets get on a call to chat through your goals and how I can help you, where could you be in six months time?”
