⁣
Not because I didn’t want to go, but because I didn’t want to “cheat” on my diet.⁣
⁣
I wore my discipline like a badge of honor. I thought being the person who never missed a workout, never ate the cake and never deviated from the plan was something to be proud of.⁣
⁣
But that discipline came at a cost.⁣
⁣
I missed birthdays.⁣
Celebrations.⁣
Family gatherings.⁣
Moments that can never be recreated.⁣
⁣
All because I was so focused on controlling what I ate and avoiding anything that might throw me off track.⁣
⁣
And honestly? It left me feeling disconnected- from the people I loved and from myself.⁣
⁣
There is nothing healthy about feeling lonely and isolated while life is happening around you.⁣
⁣
But hey, I was skinny!!!⁣
⁣
And at the time, it felt like that was all that mattered.⁣
⁣
Not anymore🙅🏻‍♀️.⁣
⁣
Now, I live a healthy lifestyle so I can experience life to the fullest.⁣
⁣
So I can be present for the moments that matter.⁣
So I can celebrate with loved ones, make memories and enjoy the experiences that make life meaningful.⁣
⁣
Because health should add to your life- not take you away from it.⁣
⁣
And that’s exactly what we do over here🙏🏻✨. ⁣

A message from Nikki👇🏻⁣
⁣
“Hello, my name is Nikki Melligan. I am a Certified Personal Trainer (2002), Inside Flow Yoga Teacher (2024) & a Level 2 Restorative Yoga Teacher (2025). My passion as a Personal Trainer is working with clients to help nurture their belief in themselves and that they can do anything that they put their minds to no matter how big or small🙏🏻. ⁣
⁣
After being an athlete for two decades and an avid Crossfitter for five years, my belief was that rest was unproductive and that I was being lazy by not doing anything. My days would be filled with more things than I had hours in the day for and I wouldn’t stop until 5 minutes before bedtime. I would then struggle to fall asleep at night as my body didn’t know what rest was or how to down regulate my nervous system. I would then wake up in the morning exhausted and start all over again. ⁣
⁣
In 2020 I found Yoga/Meditation and everything in my life changed for me. I finally was able to have a wonderful nights sleep and my body finally experienced deep rest in a way that I never knew was possible🧘🏻‍♀️. ⁣
⁣
With the knowledge and experience I embody from the fitness world and the Restorative Yoga world, I am now able to look at these two modalities with a more balanced approach. The common theme with both of these modalities is they create mental resiliency to face the daily challenges of the human experience.⁣
⁣
I am very much looking forward to working with the Strength Squad and meeting the wonderful community that Mia has created. I’m a firm believer that you can always do more then you think you can and I will always remind everyone of that✨. ⁣
⁣
See you soon☺️.”⁣
⁣
You will see her coaching inside the Lifting Club as well as working with clients 1:1🙌🏻. ⁣

Here’s 6 common reasons as to why👇🏻 ⁣
⁣
1. You’re relying on motivation alone. ⁣
2. You keep trying to do everything perfectly. ⁣
3. Your goals are unrealistic for the season of life you’re in. ⁣
4. You’re stuck in an all or nothing mindset. ⁣
5. You have zero accountability or support. ⁣
6. You’re only focused on outcomes instead of identity shifting. ⁣
⁣
Consistency isn’t about doing everything perfectly- it’s about frequency and repetition. It’s about continuing to show-up even when life is life-ing in order to create long-term, sustainable progress💪🏻.⁣

We help high-achieving, ambitious women ditch the scale + toxic diet culture by learning how to fall in love with lifting weights while also taking care of your mind, body & soul🙏🏻. ⁣
⁣
Our mission is to empower you to shift your focus solely from losing weight to lifting weights so that YOU can become your strongest self physically, mentally and emotionally💪🏻. ⁣
⁣
And how do we do that? ⁣
⁣
Through 1:1 coaching programs designed to meet you where you are so you can get to where you want to go. We empower you to become the strongest version of yourself all while encouraging you to honour, trust and respect your body throughout the process🤍. ⁣
⁣
⁣We also do this through our in-person, small group coaching programs designed to help you become more confident and capable when it comes to lifting weights in the gym🙌🏻. ⁣
⁣
If you’ve ever thought about working with us in any capacity, there are a few things you can do to stay in the loop when it comes to all things coaching and programs: ⁣
⁣
1. You can apply for 1:1 coaching using the coaching application form and see if we may be a good fit to work together. ⁣
2. You can put your name on the waitlist for my group coaching programs so that you will be the first to be notified when a spot becomes available or when enrolment opens. ⁣
3. Join my e-newsletter. I send out emails a couple times a month (no spam, I promise!) to keep you informed and let you know what’s going on over here in the world of The Strength Girl. ⁣
