Sometimes, I just need to hit the "off" button and ride the wave 🌊 These days, I've been embracing the urge to binge-watch Netflix and do absolutely nothing. My battery has been running on empty, so I'm giving myself permission to recharge and unwind.

No more feeling guilty about taking a break from my routine - I know my mind and body will be ready to bounce back stronger than ever in a few weeks. Even with the miserable weather, I'll be back at it before you know it! 😅

Who else loves those lazy, couch-potato days? Let me know in the comments! 👇

🌟 Turning 44 has brought some surprising changes! In the last 6 months, I’ve felt shifts in my body, energy, and hormones. Hello, peri-menopause! 😅 I tried to ignore it, but now it’s time to really listen to what my body needs. 💪 I know my body well, and I know my limits. I have learnt this over the years.

Did I want these changes to happen? Hell NO. To be honest, age is not in my thoughts. I don't care about the number. I care about my health, fitness, and strength. Most importantly, how I feel.

Am I ready for changes? Absolutely not! BUT unfortunately us women have a few hurdles to step over in our lives. And it SUCKS!

WE CAN. WE WILL. ✊️

I’m excited to start cycle syncing and dive deep into understanding how my body works through this time. I know I’m not alone in this journey, and I hope we can learn together! I'm no expert in peri-menopause, menopause, or cycle training ( I will be doing further study on this). For now, I'm purely just sharing my coaching knowledge and my own journey as I go through this phase of my life. In hope we can learn and share together 🙏 with no judgement and only kind words.

Lift other women up. Don't tare them down.

If you’re experiencing similar changes, I’d love to hear your stories. Let’s support each other! 💖✨

Stepping into the world of F45 has been an incredible journey of hard work and commitment. I purchased F45 Toowoomba West in July 2023 it was a tough time (the back end of covid). The studio was not in a good place. The owners clearly wanted out, and being the manager at the time, I wasn't ready to let that happen Soooooo what does one do? Own it!!! I knew it would take time and hard work to keep it going. I knew this! I'm not sure my husband understood 🤷‍♀️🤣 good things take time, I would say.

Business is tough. Juggling mum, wife, and personal life is challenging and exhausting. BUT rewarding at the same time. To be a part of so many lives, encouraging others on their health and fitness journey. To witness transformations in body, strength, and fitness has been an incredible journey.

My two year celebration 🥂 will hit in July, and I couldn't be more proud. I now have a solid foundation with an awesome team and a thriving supportive community that will continue to grow 💫

When I took over F45, I stepped away from my personal brand, Elev8 HFL, and my womens only program to fully invest 100% into F45 Toowoomba West. It has now settled into a stronger position, and now it’s time to breathe and bring new life back into Elev8 HFL, reviving it one step at a time.

Elev8 represents more than just a brand; it embodies my mission to support, encourage, and motivate as many people as possible alongside F45. This journey is about creating a space where individuals can come together, push their limits, and elevate their lives in health, fitness, and lifestyle.

Let’s embark on this journey together, celebrating each milestone and lifting each other up along the way. Together, we will elevate not just our fitness and health but our lives, proving that with support and motivation, anything is achievable.

You Can. You Will.
Let’s Elev8 together!

Congratulations to me on completing Hyrox singles 🥳✌️ and to all the other legends out there, giving it a go. I hope you are all proud of yourselves. I know I am. That accomplishment alone is a testament to our strength and resilience.

I walked away, knowing that on this day I couldn't have given anymore but I know that I have more to give. One of the biggest challenges I have faced in the past 12 months is navigating and experiencing peri-menopause at the age of 44 young 😉 It has been a whirlwind of emotions and changes in my body and performance. This is something I didn't (haven't) taken lightly. What The Hell is this?? Nooooo not now!!! WHY????

The other mental challenge was the pressure I put on myself. To do the best I could in all areas of this event. To show up and train hard. To support my team. Be the best role model to my son and studio. To capture every moment I could over the weekend. Then, finally. To perform myself and raise to expectation 🙌 and put all my training to work.

It's taken me 4 days to reflect. I didn't perform the way I wanted to. And that's OK! It's totally OK!

This is what I have learnt ⬇️⬇️

It's important to recognize that our bodies go through significant changes, and embracing those changes while pushing ourselves is truly inspiring.

While you may feel pressure to perform at a certain level, remember that every step you take, every challenge you face, and every race you complete is a victory in itself. Your pride in your journey is well-deserved, and it's okay to acknowledge that there is always room for improvement. Each performance is an opportunity to learn and grow, not just in fitness but in life.

Empowering other women to celebrate their achievements, no matter how big or small, is crucial. Every woman faces her own battles, and in sharing this, I hope to inspire others to embrace their journeys with confidence. Remind them that it’s not just about the end result but about the strength we show in pursuing our goals, the lessons we learn along the way, and the community we build together.

Keep pushing forward, celebrate your journey, and inspire others to do the same ✊️

You Can.You Will
