Elle Blackwell - Fitness & Health

Does achieving your goals feel so complicated sometimes?

You don’t need a flashy program, an extreme diet, or the latest TikTok routine. The boring basics are what actually work. Simple habits, done consistently and for long enough, are what drive results and, more importantly, make them sustainable.

I know. Not very sexy. But you want to put something in place that you’re actually going to be able to sustain forever.

✔️ Lift weights 2 - 3 x a week - build a program that allows you to train hard, but also gives you the ability to actually recover from your sessions

✔️ Eat enough - protein, real food, fuel. If you’re under eating, you’re going to be constantly exhausted, underperforming in the gym, and leaving progress on the table

✔️ Sleep - because poor sleep impacts your cravings, energy, recovery and overall health

✔️ Manage stress - chronic stress keeps your body in a “fight or flight” state, which can increase cravings, disrupt sleep, slow recovery, and make fat loss and muscle gain harder than it needs to be

✔️ Stay consistent - even imperfect consistency beats a perfect program you can’t actually stick to. Months is where the change lives. Consistency looks like showing up most of the time, even when motivation is low, or life is messy.

Ideally, we want to be in a place where these habits aren’t the exception… they’re the rule.

The results you’re looking for aren’t hiding behind something more complicated. They’re usually found in doing the simple things well, over and over again, until they become part of how you live.

A challenge I often see clients facing as a coach.

Trying to do too much. 🫶🏼

I’ve been working in the fitness industry for 20 years now and this is one of the most common conversations I have with new clients.

The best plan is the one that you can stick to and is tailored to you.

More is not better, better is better.

Have you found yourself trying to do too much?

I get to rebuild myself this year. One rep at time. This come back is for my baby girl. And for the mums juggling all the things, work, household, business, judgement, expectations, sleepless nights. You will get a chance to catch your breath. Xx #mumsinbusiness #selfcare #prepcoach #idontrollover

First session of 2025 - a leg day of course

I’ve actually managed 4 sessions this week so far. And I feel great 🙏🏼 a good week for me!

For those following along, I haven’t spent a lot of time on socials in 2024. Life was really busy. It was a challenging year for me. I will talk more about the year that was soon.

I juggled motherhood, business, injury after injury, burnout x 2, a flooded house, a spider infestation, multiple hospital visits for Demi, a baby that doesn’t sleep, and Luke posted at Rottnest for work for 8 weeks. For all of the year last year I managed this with no extra hands to help. But I made it.

On top of this we had people we thought were supposed to love and support us, actively make things so much harder for us, it hurt our brand new little family, a lot.

But I showed up. I showed up as a mother, I followed my heart and did what I knew was best for her, despite the judgment, the push back and other well meaning advice.
I’ve done the work on myself, all year, to show up as the best mum I can for her.

I showed up as a friend, a partner, a daughter, a sister … as best I could.

I poured my heart and soul into my little family, and my team and clients. I showed up as a coach. I gave all I had to them. Many evenings over the year spent supporting clients, and almost weekly a night or two I missed being part of my baby girls bedtime routine. I’ve done my absolute best to show up for my team, albeit imperfect at times … sleep deprived, stressed, broken hearted.

I gave 2024 everything I had.

Amongst all the grey clouds of the year, it was the most beautiful year of my life as I watch my baby girl growing into the most incredible little human. She’s so smart, and cheeky, and excited. I am so fkng lucky to be her mumma.

I watched my clients as they did things they never thought they could, as they changed, or as they had moments where they realised what they had actually achieved. I watched them learn to back themselves, love themselves more, and want more for themselves.

I learned many lessons. I will share soon

2025, I start as the newest version of myself, but more myself than ever. I’m excited to see what I can make of it ❤️

A little bit of life lately…

My baby girl just turned one. 1️⃣

I got to the gym twice in the last 3 days despite Demi being a little under the weather again which is a huge win for me.

We have a couple of new athletes joined the team and a few team members well into a pre prep now.

I’ve managed to avoid a surgery this year which I’m relieved about. Luke and I have had a challenging year and we prefer not to load anything else onto our plate for the rest of 2024. 💁🏼‍♀️ Little Winnie also narrowly avoided surgery 🙏🏼

I am still learning … how to balance mum life and biz life … and fit myself in, it’s a slow process, I’ve feel like I’ve got a lot wrong, but I feel like I’ve got more right lately. You can’t rush something that you want to last forever.

I was dissapointed by a few people this year, very dissapointed. But it reminded me yet again of how lucky we are to have the incredible circle of people around us that we do, people that are also good for Demi.

I’m really excited for the rest of this year as I get better at this mumpreneur gig, nourish the new relationships that parenthood has gifted us with, and I’m excited for 2025 as I have big goals and dreams for the year.

For the first time in a long time … I’m really excited for Christmas .. and how magical it’s going to feel for Demi. 🫶🏼

I’m slowly trying to get back onto socials a bit more, but I’ve made no secret about the fact that my family and my clients are my priority right now.

I am opening up some seats on the team, for both lifestyle and comp prep, so drop me a message if you’d like to find out more. 🙏🏼

I don’t post on here a lot lately, for a few reasons but mainly because life’s been busy. I’m a working mum. I run the business and taking care of my clients will always come before posting, care for our beautiful baby girl, maintain our home, do most of our life admin, still trying to work out where I fit in all of this.

Today I’m heading out to the to support my athletes and in their competition debut . I couldn’t be prouder of them and am so excited to watch them today.

Right now im gathering myself together to leave the house, getting in some last minute cuddles and kisses with my squish. This is the longest I’m going to have been away from her today and it’s such a mixed feeling. I wish I could take her with me, and I’m going to miss her cuddles today .. but I’m also so excited to immerse myself back into the competition scene. My first comp attendance since having bubba girl.

Still working out what merging these two worlds is supposed to look at feel like.

Looking forward to seeing everyone strut their stuff today. 🙌🏼
