These five “fitness wins” emphasize simple, high-impact habits for lasting results without unnecessary grind.

Walk as Much as Possible
Walking is the simplest way to increase your NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis), burning extra calories without gym time—just by doing errands you’d otherwise still need to handle. This low-impact boost enhances fat loss and complements strength training for total daily energy expenditure.

Take Your Sleep Seriously
Track your sleep like you track your workouts—skimping here ramps up hunger hormones, triggering cravings for poor food choices over nutrient-dense meals. Solid sleep fuels muscle repair and workout motivation.

Smart Programming Over Long Sessions
A well-thought-out plan wins every time; endless 90-minute slogs just spike injury risk, boredom, and poor adherence, while smart programming prioritizes quality reps, sustainable progression, and real-world consistency without the burnout.

Drink in Moderation, If at All
Stick to moderation or skip it entirely—booze elevates cortisol (fat-storing stress hormone), crushes testosterone (key for building muscle), fragments sleep, derails recovery, and generally makes you less motivated to get it done.

80/20 Rule Over Perfect
Apply 80% consistency across training, nutrition, and recovery with 20% flexibility for life’s curveballs—ditching perfectionism prevents resentment-fueled burnout, letting you play the long game with steady adherence over rigid routines. This sustains overall fitness progress and joy year-round.

If you’re training hard, pushing close to failure, and giving real effort to movements that challenge your target muscles — you’re already doing what matters most. There are no single “must-do” exercises you have to include.

Yes, there are foundational movement patterns worth mastering — but which variation you use is entirely up to you. Don’t let social media make you think there’s one perfect, magical exercise that gets results while everything else is a waste. Training doesn’t work in black and white. It lives in the gray — on a spectrum of “good,” “better,” and “best for you.”

Focus on showing up, pushing yourself, and finding joy in the process. That’s the real formula for results and longevity in fitness.

Belated one-year anniversary of Fit with Faye and two years of being a mom! 💪👶

Here are a few hard truths I’ve learned about fitness in motherhood:

1️⃣ Forget the perfect schedule.
Sticking to a routine like “Monday = leg day” just isn’t realistic anymore. Instead, I focus on hitting all major muscle groups at least once a week. It’s not ideal, but it keeps me consistent and lets me maintain lean muscle — my main goal these days (especially now that I’m closer to 40 than 30 😳).

2️⃣ Cardio looks different now.
Long runs used to be my therapy, and I genuinely miss them. But with a two-year-old, I get plenty of movement chasing him around! I’ve shifted to increasing my daily activity instead of structured cardio — and it works.

3️⃣ Acceptance is everything.
My body looks different now. I used to spend two hours a day working out; these days, it’s 20–30 minutes (and some days, not even that). I feel softer and a little weaker—but happier. Because my energy is going to something far more meaningful.

To all the parents out there: yes, making time for yourself matters—but let go of perfection. There’s no deadline to be your fittest, leanest self. Embrace the fluff, celebrate the memories, and remember your body reflects love and life, not just discipline.

I’ve always believed that fitness should feel empowering, not overwhelming. After years of competing at a high level and learning what truly makes performance and movement sustainable, I wanted to create a way for more people to experience that same confidence in their own training.

With years of experience competing at the elite level and an in-depth understanding of human movement with a background in Exercise Science/Kinesiology, I have designed a training system that integrates scientific principles with practical application.

Fit with Faye combines written content and video-based training with easily accessible trainer support. This approach offers professional-quality guidance while eliminating the high costs of traditional personal training. By focusing on exercise fundamentals rather than following fleeting trends, my program empowers you to achieve sustainable, efficient results.

Curious if Fit with Faye is the right fit for your goals? Head to my website (link in bio) or message me any time — I’d love to hear what you’re working toward.

Happy New Year and an early happy 2nd birthday to C**t! 🥳

2025 revolved completely around this little guy, and it has been the best kind of whirlwind. Watching a once self-focused, ex–professional athlete version of myself become so selfless in raising this little boy has been the most rewarding and fulfilling personality shift. There are days as a parent that feel completely exhausting, but the hilarity of toddler life and the constant amazement at his ever-evolving personality somehow refill the tank and carry you through those long, tired days.

We’re so excited to watch C**t continue to grow and evolve and we’re sure he has some wild and crazy surprises for us in 2026!

5 things I tell clients who want lasting results:

1) Depend on discipline, not motivation

Motivation is fleeting; discipline is a skill. You build it by showing up on the days you don’t want to, again and again, until consistency becomes automatic. Eventually, it’s just what you do — like brushing your teeth or making coffee. That’s when fitness stops being a “plan” and starts being a lifestyle

2) Showing up isn’t enough — the effort matters.

Checking the box doesn’t yield results. Progress happens when you challenge your muscles — when you train with enough intent and intensity to reach fatigue. That’s how your body adapts and grows stronger. So instead of just “getting through” your workout, ask yourself: did I actually challenge myself today

3) Strength training is non-negotiable

If your goal involves reshaping your body, improving longevity, or boosting metabolism, lifting weights is the cornerstone. Cardio supports your heart, mood, and endurance. Yoga, Pilates, HIIT, and classes are great for variety and mobility. But the aesthetic and structural changes you’re chasing come from progressive strength training.

4) Extreme goals come with extreme sacrifice

If you’re dreaming of a magazine-cover physique or dramatic transformation, it will demand deep lifestyle changes — from your schedule to your social life and recovery habits. There’s nothing wrong with that if you’re prepared for the trade-offs. Clarity matters. Decide how far you’re willing to go and design your goals around that level of commitment.

5)You don’t need to love it — but you do need to find some enjoyment in it.

You’re not going to wake up excited every day to train, and that’s okay. The goal isn’t to fall in love with every workout — it’s to create a relationship with movement that’s doable long-term. Find small ways to make it enjoyable: a playlist you love, a workout buddy, a type of training that feels empowering. Enjoyment fuels consistency, and consistency is the only thing that truly works!

Get stronger, leaner, and more energized when you realize this: your fear of lifting heavy is the very thing holding you back from building your dream body. Strength training isn’t just more effective—it’s more efficient. You can save time, energy, and even money by skipping the flashy bootcamp classes, endless cardio sessions, and marathon workouts that promise results but rarely deliver. You don’t need to spend hours in the gym each day to see real, lasting change.

Fitness doesn’t have to be your identity to transform your body—just join Fit with Faye. Commit to three full-body sessions a week, each under an hour. The workouts will challenge you, but staying consistent couldn’t be simpler.
