Overheard in a session this week-

‘I would have given up on that last rep if you weren’t here.’

The weights don’t change whether you are lifting them on your own or with a coach. The thing that changes is having someone who knows what you are capable of doing, even when you are doubting yourself.

My job isn’t to give you a list of exercises and let you get on with it. It’s to know when to push you, when to tell you to rest and make sure you aren’t guessing if you are doing it right.

I’m going to be running 2 FREE workshops in September! 🙌

Whether you’re returning to exercise after having a baby or you’re new to strength training, these workshops are designed to give you some practical guidance, build confidence and help you feel more comfortable with exercise.

💜 The Comeback Club Workshop – Postnatal Fitness & Returning to Exercise

The first workshop will focus all on postnatal fitness and returning to exercise.

We’ll look at safely building your core back up and how to programme your training to keep up with the demands of everyday life. Whether that’s getting the pram in the car, lifting and carrying your little one, or keeping up with the demands of parenthood.

📅 8th September
⏰ 1pm

Women’s Strength Foundations Workshop

The second marks the return of the Women’s Strength Foundations Workshop.

If you’re new to strength training and need a bit of an introduction, this is the workshop for you. We’ll go through the foundations of strength training, demo and take part in exercises to help build confidence, and debunk some of the common myths you may have heard.

Ever walking into the gym, looked at the weights section and just headed back over to the treadmill?

I have many conversations over the years about this. You know lifting weights is good for you, short and long term, but then you think ‘what if I hurt my back?’ or ‘what if I look stupid?’ so you stick to your comfort zone, light weights and cardio.

The problem here is that if weight feels effortless, your body does have a reason to adapt or get stronger.

Now I don’t mean you have to come in and lift excessive amounts of weight on a barbell from day 1. It just means finding a weight that feels like a challenge for where you are at today and slowly adding a bit at a time the more you get used to it.

You don’t need to figure out on your own or worry about hurting yourself trying. As a coach my job is to show you have to move properly, meeting you at the level you are at, so you feel confident doing it.

If you want to stop second guess and want something that makes sense. Drop me a message or book in for a free consultation in the link in bio.

If you’ve never worked with a coach before it’s hard to know exactly what is going to happen.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the beginner sessions-

1- Quick Check-in + Mobility Prep (get ready and warm for the session).
2- The Main Bit- Focusing on 3/4 simple strength exercises focusing on form and control.
3- Cool down (answer any questions and run through pros of the session).

It’s nothing scary, honest!
All we are aiming to do is to build structure and confidence, not throwing you in the deep end.

The beginner kickstart is closing Monday 03/08, if you wanna join in drop me a message.
