The scales went up. She’s never looked or felt stronger. - swipe till the end to see results 👉🏼


Meet Cal. 53. Four-time working mum. Volunteer Samaritan. Neurodivergent , combined ADHD and autism.

She came to me in August 2025 wanting more than a training programme. She wanted confidence in the gym, a body that would carry her well into her later years, and something…for once …that would actually stick.

Because for Cal, exercise had always ended up in what she calls “the graveyard of hobbies.” Couch-to-5K. Peloton. Hula hoops. Home workouts. The second the novelty wore off, the habit went with it.

Then her mum was diagnosed with osteoporosis and broke both her hips. And something clicked.

Cal didn’t want that to be her story. She wanted to service her body the way you’d service a car - properly, for the long haul. 🚗
9 months in, here’s what I’ve watched unfold:

🔥She lifts heavier than she ever thought possible
🔥Her posture, shape and strength have completely shifted (even as the scales have moved up)
🔥She gets to the gym at 6.30am before her city job … three sessions a week, every week → Her sleep is better. Her mind is quieter. Her confidence is bigger
🔥She walks up to anybody using a machine and asks to swap in…the same woman who used to watch from the treadmill, wondering how the weights even worked 🤝

Cal’s consistency is rare. Her self-awareness is sharper than most. And the way she’s reframed what “progress” actually means is the whole point of this work.

In her own words: “When I first saw my weight going up, I freaked out. Now I look at how I’m feeling, how my clothes fit…and that scale anxiety just falls away.”

This is what strength training in midlife actually looks like. Not shrinking. Not punishing yourself. Building a body and a mind that can carry you through the next 40 years.

4 weeks into my recomp phase (lose fat keep muscle) and I’m really seeing & feeling the difference now 👌🏼

As many will know for the last few years I’ve been on prep at this time for a photoshoot where the cut is more aggressive and for strict purpose.

However this year, it’s for me 🙋🏼‍♀️ and just to tidy things up for summer and also just to feel a little better in myself. I always feel a little more energy and alert when I’m eating slightly less. 🤝

But it has allowed a little more flexibility & considering I always love to find a balance, that suits me nicely!

I’m not targeting myself on a weight but this is only a kilo down at this point but I’m due on the next few days, so I expect a drop next week… despite my slightly off plan day yesterday 💃 😜

Not sure if the exact end date but I’m certainly looking to push on for a few more weeks & see where we land!!

Current set up!

👉🏼4x strength training
👉🏼120mins low impact cardio
👉🏼daily steps 15000
👉🏼 cals are set to my deficit for a training day and non training day! Keeping it balanced! 🥗

Let’s see what it brings!!

Then…maintenance phase!! 👌🏼❤️

Are you trying to lose fat at the moment? Are you experiencing any challenges?

Can I help with any questions? Here to help 🙋🏼‍♀️

Turn around. No, seriously…turn. Around. 🔄

We’re so conditioned to stand front-facing in the mirror and pick ourselves apart. But your back? Your back has been quietly doing the work and not getting nearly enough credit.

These photos of my clients show some of the various ways my clients have changed during their journey of strength training.

Better posture. A stronger, more defined silhouette. And — often — where fat loss shows up first, before the scale has even blinked.

Third pic in, Me. Two weeks apart. Half a kilo difference on the scale. But generally I couldn’t see much difference…until I compared these photos!

This is exactly why I don’t coach women to chase a number. I coach them to build something.

And the results you can’t see from the front are often the most telling ones.

If you’re training hard but feel like nothing is changing…you might just be looking in the wrong direction. 👀

Comment COACHING below if you’re ready to start seeing real, measurable changes — not just on the scale, but in how you feel, how you stand, and how you show up. 💪

I’ve got your back 🥁 🙋🏼‍♀️

First week of my mini cut/recomp phase ✅…if you’re not sure what that means, I’ve explained it below. 👇😊

Nothing extreme. Eating well, extra strength training in now, (4x instead of 3) cardio and getting my steps in, which has honestly made the biggest difference after a week of travelling/having time off & enjoying the fruits that it brings🍹🥘

Body’s feeling good (a little squat-sore, but that’s a win 🤣). Visuals are already looking tighter and less watery — muscles are popping more and feeling fuller overall.

Solid first week. This week I’ll be dialling in my macros a bit more, last week I had a few extras. No guilt as flexibility can be managed, but the first week is all about the adjustments.

🙋🏼‍♀️ What is a mini cut/recomp phase?

My goal is simple - tidy things up for summer. ☀️

Lose a little fat, hold onto my muscle, and feel strong and defined going into the warmer months.

That means eating at or just below maintenance, keeping protein high, training consistently, and letting my body do the work. No crash dieting. No cutting out entire food groups.

Just a focused few weeks of being intentional.
It’s the most sustainable way to look and feel better - and it’s exactly what I coach my clients through too.
