Hear it in her own words, here’s what had to say about her journey and experience with the coaching program:
“Prior to working with Ofie, I felt that I had lost myself while juggling being a mum, work and life. I wanted to re-build my eating and fitness habits not only to feel better physically and mentally, but to also be able to keep up with my little one as he was growing day by day and I found it harder to keep up with him.
I noticed that she had pre/post natal experience which led me to get in touch with her and we scheduled in a consultation call. During the consultation call she was calm, reassuring and informative. We went through where I currently was with my journey, my struggles and my goals to build sustainable eating and fitness habits.
With Ofie's support over the past 8 months, I've learnt to fit my workouts around my life rather than trying to fit my life around my workouts and I've re-discovered my love for lifting weights. My daily habits have been going strong with me hitting 10,000 steps a day and drinking 2-3 litres a day. I've built a better relationship with food and it feels great. I'm more mindful about what I eat but at the same time still able to eat what I want so I don't get cravings and no longer binge eat.
Overall my mindset has definitely improved and even after the coaching I will continue to build upon all the habits I've established. In terms of physical changes, I've lost 12kg and I've built and I'm continuing to build on my muscle gains. Learning about fat loss and maintenance has been so beneficial.
To anyone who is thinking of joining the coaching program, there's no "right" time and it's always scary to start over but it will be worth it. When I started seeing the progress of all my effort and consistency it made me think "why did I not start sooner?".

is an ex-client
This is a recent photo of herself that she sent me vs on the right when we first started working together on the left
In her own words
”It may not be perfect or ideal but I’m so proud of my journey and so grateful for you. I am way happier with my self and overall, I now take pleasure in dressing up, moving around freely and even workouts and meal planning (never thought I would!). Actually didn’t imagine the impact of it all day to day..but damn”
So many coaches and programs claim to build “sustainable” fitness routines
Yet clients leave and struggle to keep up the results, or they go back to the habits they previously had
You’ll see lots of transformation photos, but how often do you hear about clients AFTER they leave the program
Here’s the difference
We have a tried and tested framework for how to get clients to be self sufficient
Everyone needs to have control of their own progress and take responsibility for it
But often, new or prospective clients I speak to don’t even know where to start
They haven’t yet figured out what works for them
We start with providing the structure clients initially need
Breaking things down into weekly and daily goals
Nutrition and workout targets, being specific
Making it as simple and easy to follow as possible
And then we gradually introduce more and more flexibility as clients gain more knowledge and establish eating and workout patterns
This works really well
But the catch is..
You can’t expect to build a lifetime of change in a month or two or even 3
This takes time
Different amounts for different people
For Zakiyah it was about 6 months
But she really was such a good student, she learned and implemented everything asap
She asked questions, she actioned
For others it could be longer
It’s an investment with both time and money
But when you do it right, it saves you a lifetime on pain
Of constantly switching between diets and workout programs
The frustration of trying to figure out why it seems to work for others but not for you
If you’re ready to invest in something that will set you up forever
DM me the word “forever” and we can have a quick no obligations chat

I recently shared a video of speaking of her journey
It’s incredibly powerful so I highly recommend you go watch if you haven’t
When Anne sent me the "before" photo above
She said she remembers the day clearly, smiling even though she felt unhappy in the moment
From being in a dark place with anxiety and depression
A place of little confidence
Wearing baggy and dark clothes
Having tried every fad diet, losing weight and then gaining it back
Never really done weights at the gym
To being this confident, badass woman that she is
Doing SO many of the things she never thought she’d do
Losing over 60lbs and keeping it off for good
Changing her entire lifestyle
Giving up smoking, not relying on alcohol and food to deal with her emotions
Getting strong AF, building muscle
Overcoming her anxiety at the gym
Doing a professional photoshoot to celebrate her achievements
Anne’s truly stepped outside her comfort zone
So what changed for Anne?
She reached her tipping point
Where she decided enough was enough, she was going to take action and get help
We built a plan for her that was sustainable, and basically the opposite of everything she’d done before
No more low carb diets, no more cutting out entire foods
We’ve gradually worked on those binge-restrict cycles
Identifying stressors and finding more productive ways of dealing with them
Providing more structure and clarity
Breaking things down into daily goals
And just providing a bit of support and accountability
And here we are, same Annie, but just a happer, more confident version
It all starts with the commitment to take action
You can sit in an unhappy place
And it may not be your fault how you ended up there
But it IS your responsibility to do something to get out
There is no shame in asking for help
I can't put it better than Anne did
"What have you got to lose? I've gained so much"
Ready to make a start and start building the lifestyle you want?
DM me the word "Help" and we can have a quick chat

Just a little reminder that in a few weeks you probably won't remember that you didn't hit your calories and macros this weekend.
But you will remember that you had a good time, laughed a lot and shared some nice meals with your family.
Practice mindfulness but don't forget the bigger picture.
Happy holidays 🎄

“I want to be lean and feel strong”
Over the last 6 months, we’ve successfully put on muscle, lost body fat and changed body composition massively
Katry's goal was to feel confident in her body, look a little leaner and and to feel stronger
She’s a dancer alongside her full time job at a bank (ballroom, she’s great!) as well and wanted to feel really confident in her lovely dance outfits
The key to these changes has been having a plan and then implementing the crap out of it
Katry had been pretty active and felt relatively fit before we started working together
She had used several fitness apps to try and tone up
But she never really saw changes in her physique
What she was missing was a solid workout plan that worked for HER body and wasn’t just a generic list of exercises
We then focused on intensity, building up technique and some real strength while still prioritising rest and recovery
She also wasn’t sure about how to support her workouts with the right nutrition
The nutrition element has probably been key when it comes to Katry’s progress
Not just following a set meal plan but actually gaining knowledge
She read my guides, she watched my videos
She implemented the guidance and advice with deligence
She learned to manage social events
She's worked to get here
But I'm sure she'll agree it's been worth it, she’s feeling the most confident that she’s felt in a long time
She’s now in the reverse diet phase
We continue to build more strength and muscle, while keeping relatively good levels of leanness
2022 - lots of new goals and lots of achievements to come!
Massive well done

Damn, we’ve come far!
We still have goals to tick off but we’re celebrating this milestone.
When we started working together, about six months ago, she was in a different place
She was unhappy in her body and not feeling very confident
She wanted change and had tried to implement it herself
When we first spoke, she was stuck in a cycle, restricting her calories severely and then bingeing to compensate
She’d tried a bunch of diets and lost weight to gain it all back and more
This time, we did things differently
We started her off somewhere around 1800 calories (if I remember correctly) which was much more than anything she’d previously been eating
We cut back on exercise, including more rest and recovery
Instead we trained smart with a solid strength based workout plan specific for Angelyne's goals and body
And we focused on mindset and her relationship with food
On building habits and moving forward, just a little little each day and each week
The biggest difference this time was - she had a clear plan
No trial and error
Over the last 6 months, she’s lost almost 15kg
Confidence is probably the best it’s been in a long time
She has a much better relationship with food
She's so much stronger in the gym and has hit a 100kg hip thrust recently
And for the first time, she knows she will be able to maintain her progress
As always, there are ups and downs but we’ve found solutions and stayed consistent
So incredibly proud 😍
