You may be eating well and even smashing out that cardio “slim down” or “lean out”…

But getting that wider, more defined upper body and back will create the illusion of a smaller waist, giving you that stunning shape, hourglass physique, and YES more prominent glutes 🍑

By gaining muscle, you increase your metabolic rate and encourage your body to burn fat.
I encourage people who come to me struggling to lose fat to start a new strength training program, adding extra lean muscle mass.

YES GUYS. You’ve heard it from me before and I’ll say it again. BODY COMPOSITION. It’s not all about the number on the scales.
Your physical appearance will improve. You will not only look better in that pair of jeans, but you’ll feel a hundred times better also. Replacing that fat with lean muscle mass.

Lacking confidence?
Maybe that’s why you haven’t ventured into the gym in the first place, yet it’s exactly the reason why you should 💡
Work from the inside out.

So this is a fun one…and safe to say I’m a really proud coach. 💕

Jordan approached me with a rather different goal in mind. To lose weight (a stone was the goal) not just for herself, but for a charity sky dive. There really wasn’t a choice here, it had to be done…
Or no sky dive 🤷🏻‍♀️

We didn’t have a lot of time, in fact a matter of weeks to shift this. ⏳
So safe to say it would be a challenge, because we also wanted to maintain this and use it to build upon future progress.
She wanted to learn how to safely lift and get stronger…the bigger picture.

Jordan nailed it. 🔥

✅ Losing 𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗔 𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗡𝗘!

Jordan has a super busy schedule, she did this alongside full time uni and a job. She also has her hands in so many other clubs, you name it, outside of this.
But somehow she’s always great craic.

It was hard, at the start we knew it would be tough. But by touching base daily, giving our sessions 100% and following her diet plan to a T, Jordan really made a near impossible task seem effortless 😮‍💨

This girl has gone above and beyond, and I’m just proud to be a part of this journey. ❤️

𝗜’𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜’𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻…. 🧨

There’s a 13kg difference between these photos…
And they’re 2 years apart.

I’ve gained 2 stone.
In the past this would have eaten away at me 🚩 I’d admittedly in my teens, maybe have spiralled into some crash diet…

Yes, if weight loss is your goal, that’s great.
But let’s talk about fat loss…not simply weight loss. 💡

You will lose body fat, and your body weight will go down…
But as you build muscle, that number on the scales may plateau…it might even start rising again.
And this can be pretty daunting. 😰

When you weight train, you’re totally changing your body composition. 🪄

And lighter, doesn’t always mean better.

Increasing your lean muscle mass will sculpt your body, assist with strength and power…all whilst increasing your caloric expenditure. 🔥

The extra muscle tissue I’ve added whilst maintaining a relatively low body fat, has allowed me to build the shape I’ve always desired from my body. All whilst getting stronger.

This is why with my clients I focus on progress photos, measurements and very minimal use of the scales. ✅
It lets you see for yourself when that little number plays tricks on you.

Some food for thought. 💭

𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘀

Can I say first and foremost this girl is down 3st and then some!! 🔥

Jess came to me wanting to lose some weight, find a training routine that fitted her non stop schedule, along with improving her general health and lifestyle.

So…she has gone above and beyond.

And I am so proud. 💖

From day one, Jess has taken everything on board, completely changing her outlook on the gym and her approach to food.
And to be honest…now I’m concerned if I don’t bump into her on my day to day about the gym in her matching fits 🙊

She has found food that she loves, and fuels her body, with no guilt attached. ZERO.
Not afraid to jump in to enjoy social events and other things life throws her way.

Jess has embraced the feeling of building strength, nailing her lifts and training.
She’s always curious and demands a challenge, wanting to learn more. 💡

In fact, we even put training for aesthetics in the bin for a while. We just focused on getting a solid programme in place and ENJOYING IT. 💪🏼

Then guess what?
The weight FLEW off. 💥

What can we learn from Jess?
If you establish a system that suits you and teaches to you to both trust AND love the process, then you will have no issues on your way to that goal.

Well done Jess.
You’re a busy lady, but you nailed it and will continue to do so. 😮‍💨

Thank you for reminding me how lucky I am to do the job that I do. I can’t wait to see more x

𝗟𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆. 💡

❗️Getting into the best mental and physical condition of your life consists of these simple ingredients:

- Training
- Nutrition
- Managing stress and sleep
- Developing a sustainable routine

𝘽𝙐𝙏…𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩’𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙩?

It’s prioritising, putting in the time and being consistent with all of these things.
𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁.

Being accountable for yourself can be difficult. But working with someone that you KNOW is backing you, someone that is waiting in the wings to push you to your best…THAT is what binds all of these ingredients together.

Personally…I turn up and train because I enjoy it, but it’s been ingrained in me from a young age, turning up to my sport with a training partner… a coach, held ME accountable. I have people by my side who depend on me being there and push me to my absolute limit.
We NEED that accountability.

𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘂𝗽. 𝗕𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗱𝗼.
I hold my clients accountable to their goals. So that when excuses come up or life gets in the way, I am in your corner to help you adapt and get the very best out of yourself regardless of these set backs.
And if you don’t have someone in your corner, you have to back yourself.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀?

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁….
