1st day back and head is already exploding 🤯

Anyone exited about their children going back to school tomorrow!

The uniforms are ironed
The school bags are packed
The lunchboxes are ready
The alarm is set

YOU survived the summer holidays

But now the kids are back at school and you’ve suddenly got something you haven’t had much of lately…

TIME

Maybe not loads of it…

But enough to finally think about YOU again

Because over the summer it’s probably been…
“Can I have a snack?”
“I’m bored.”
“Can you take me here?”
“Can we go swimming?”
“What’s for dinner?”

And just when you thought you’d finally sit down… someone needed you again

So if you’ve now got some extra time and would like to invest that in YOU, give me a message and we’ll get the ball rolling

THE WEEKEND

Friday night - Takeaway
Saturday - Breakfast out
Kids want snacks
Family meal - a few drinks
Sunday - roast

And Monday morning you’re stood on the scales thinking…

“What have I done?”

If that sounds familiar, I want you to hear this:

You haven’t ruined anything!

Your weekend isn’t the problem

The problem is believing you have to be “perfect” Monday to Friday and then feeling guilty when you live your actual life at the weekend

You should be able to go for meals

Have a takeaway

Eat cake at your child’s birthday

Have a drink with friend

And still make progress

The answer isn’t never doing those things

It’s learning how to balance them

Because your goal isn’t to lose weight for 8 weeks

It’s to create a lifestyle you can actually live with

And if your plan falls apart every time the weekend arrives…

It isn’t the right plan for you

Save this for the next time you think you’ve “blown it” because you enjoyed your weekend

It’s FRIDAY

…and that means one thing - YOU MADE IT

Whether you’ve had the most amazing week or it’s felt like complete chaos from Monday to Friday…

You showed up

For your kids
For your work
For your family
For YOU

You don’t need a perfect week to see progress

You just need small, consistent actions that add up over time

A 30-minute workout
Choosing the better option most of the time
Drinking more water
Going for a walk
Getting enough sleep

That’s it

That’s what creates results

Not perfection

It’s about progress, balance and building a lifestyle you can actually stick to

And that’s exactly what I want for my clients

So before you finish the week thinking about everything you didn’t do…

Take a minute to think about what you did do

Because you probably did more than you give yourself credit for

I have 3 spaces available for September

If you’re ready to feel stronger, fitter and more confident, DM me “READY” and let’s make it happen

You don’t need a new month to start again
You just need the right plan and support

When was the last time you actually put yourself first?

Not the kids
Not your partner
Not work
Not the house

YOU

Because somewhere along the way, being a parent can make you feel like everyone else’s needs come before yours

You’ll make sure the kids eat properly…
But grab whatever’s left for yourself

You’ll make sure they get to their activities…
But skip your own workout

You’ll spend money on things they need…
But tell yourself you’ll sort your own clothes, body, food and confidence out ‘one day’

And then one day turns into years

I’m not saying you should put your children second

I’m saying looking after yourself isn’t selfish

In fact, I think it’s one of the best things you can do for them

Because…

I want my children to see me exercise
I want them to see me eat well
I want them to see me enjoy food
I want them to see me have confidence
I want them to grow up thinking looking after your body is just… normal

Not something you do because you hate your body

But because you respect it

If you’ve spent years putting yourself last and you’re ready to change that…

I have 3 spaces for September

DM me or comments PARENT and I’ll send you the details

This is what is all about 💚🖤

It’s not just a place to train — it’s a place where fitness, family and real-life moments come together

I love being able to bring my children into the studio and have them train alongside my clients

It gives them the opportunity to see that exercise is a normal, positive part of life, while also teaching them from a young age how to use equipment safely, move correctly and respect the training environment

And let’s be honest… they absolutely love feeling like one of the grown-ups!

For me, it’s about leading by example

Showing the next generation that being strong, active and healthy can be fun — and that the gym is a welcoming place for everyone

Specifix Studio — where training is more than just a workout. It’s about creating healthy habits, building confidence and bringing people together

“I’d love to train but I genuinely don’t have the time.”

I hear this ALL the time

And honestly?

I get it

You’ve got work
School runs
Nursery
After-school clubs
Homework
Dinner
Baths
Bedtime

Then you finally sit down and realise you’ve got absolutely nothing left

But here’s what I want you to know…

You don’t need hours in the gym to change your body

You need consistency

A realistic training plan

And someone who understands that sometimes you’re going to have 45 minutes…

And sometimes you’ll have 25

Sometimes you’ll smash your workout.

Sometimes you’ll be exhausted and just getting there is the win

That’s NORMAL

You don’t need fitness to become another full-time job

You need it to fit into the life you already have

Because I’d much rather see you train 2 times a week consistently for the next 12 months…

Then train 6 times a week for 3 weeks before burning out

Your fitness needs to fit around your family — not the other way around

If lack of time is the biggest thing stopping you…

Comment **TIME** below and I’ll show you what I mean

Hands up if you’ve said “I’ll start Monday”

If you’ve said “I’ll start Monday” more times than you’d like to admit…

This is for you

You wake up Monday determined…

You’ll eat better
You’ll train
You’ll drink more water
You’ll finally get yourself back on track

Then…

The school run happens
Work is manic
Someone needs picking up
Someone has forgotten their PE kit
Dinner needs making
The kids need you

And suddenly it’s 8:30pm and you’re exhausted

So you tell yourself:

“I’ll start properly next Monday.”

And the cycle repeats

But here’s the thing…

You don’t need a *perfect* week.

You need a plan that works when your week ISN’T perfect

Because your life isn’t going to suddenly become quiet

Your children aren’t going to stop needing you

Work isn’t going to stop being busy

And waiting for the “right time” is exactly what keeps so many women stuck

I don’t want you to build a fitness routine that only works when life is easy

I want you to build one that works - because life is busy.

That’s what I’m all about

I have 3 spaces available for September for mums who are ready to stop putting themselves at the bottom of the list

If you’re thinking ‘Yep, this is me’…

DM me SEPTEMBER and let’s chat

FIRST DAY BACK

First day back in the gym after the last few weeks… and honestly, it felt GOOD

Not because I was desperate to “make up” for the food I’d eaten or the time I’d spent away

Not because I needed to punish myself for enjoying my holidays

But because I genuinely missed it

There’s a big difference

I’ve come back feeling refreshed, motivated and ready to get back into my normal routine — without the pressure of having to be “perfect”

And I think this is something so many need to hear…

You don’t have to wait for Monday
You don’t have to have a perfect week
You don’t have to train every single day
You don’t have to cut out everything you enjoy

You just need to learn how to come back to your routine when life gets in the way

That’s what sustainable results actually look like

Some weeks are structured
Some weeks are holidays
Some weeks are chaotic with the kids
Some weeks you eat more than usual

And then you get back to it

No guilt
No punishment
No starting again from scratch

Just… carry on

That’s exactly what I want to teach my clients — how to make fitness fit around THEIR life, rather than their whole life revolving around fitness

And as a mum of 2, that’s never been more important to me

So, if you’re sat there thinking “I really need to get back into a routine..

Maybe you don’t need another diet

Maybe you just need the right plan, some accountability and someone to show you how to make it work around your life

I’ve got 4 spaces for September

If you want one, send me “SEPTEMBER” and let’s have a chat

The last 3 weeks have been the reset I didn’t realise I needed

Morocco 🇲🇦
My brother and sister-in-law getting married 💍
Portugal 🇵🇹

Time with family
Lots of food that definitely wasn’t “on plan” 😂
And, yes… I felt awful after some of it!

But you know what?

I still trained 4x a week, like I normally do
I relaxed
I enjoyed myself
I spent proper quality time with the people I love

And most importantly, I stopped putting so much pressure on myself

Because recently, my goals have changed.

I’ll share more about that in another post, but one thing has NEVER changed…

I want to show you that you can get results without living in the gym

That you can be a mum of 2, have a busy life, enjoy holidays, eat the foods you love, spend time with your family AND still feel strong, confident and proud of your body

I don’t want my children to grow up seeing their mum constantly dieting, restricting herself or feeling guilty about food

I want to be the role model they look up to

The mum who trains because she enjoys being strong

The mum who eats well because she wants to fuel her body

The mum who enjoys pizza and holidays without feeling like she’s “failed”

The mum who looks after herself AND shows them what a genuinely healthy lifestyle looks like

Because THAT is the result I’m most proud of

So if you’ve been waiting for a sign that you don’t need to completely overhaul your life to get started…

This is it. 👇🏼

I have 5 spaces available for September

So if you want to get results without spending hours in the gym or living on a restrictive diet and make September the month you finally put yourself back on the list, message me “SEPTEMBER” and I’ll message you with the details

Some days I have to stop and remind myself just how lucky I am

I’m incredibly grateful for the support network I have around me.

From my family and friends to my amazing clients, every bit of encouragement has helped me build something I genuinely love

Being a personal trainer isn’t just about sets, reps and workouts.

It’s about helping people realise that simply walking through the gym doors is a huge achievement. Life is busy, stressful and full of responsibilities, so choosing to make time for yourself is something to be proud of.

I love watching people grow in confidence, become stronger, improve their mental wellbeing and achieve things they never thought they could.

Seeing someone go from doubting themselves to believing in what they’re capable of is one of the most rewarding parts of my job.

Helping people create healthier habits, feel better in themselves and realise they’re stronger than they think is why I love what I do. I honestly couldn’t ask for a more

To everyone who has trusted me to be part of their journey, thank you. And to everyone who has supported, I’m so grateful.

I currently have 5 coaching spaces left

If you’ve been thinking about getting started but haven’t taken that first step yet, this is your sign.

I’d love to help you on your journey
