🎄 I KNOW. We’re talking about Christmas and summer isn’t even properly over yet. 🙈😂

But a week on Monday — 7th September — we start our next 12-week challenge.

And that takes us right through to December.

We all know what happens then. Christmas parties, meals out, school stuff, work nights… and apparently half of it starts in November now. 😂

So these next 12 weeks are a pretty bloody good opportunity.

If summer has left you feeling sluggish, you’re desperate to get some routine back, or you know you need a bit of guidance and accountability… come and join us.

We’re not chasing perfection.

We’re getting stronger, building better habits, learning about nutrition and creating a routine you can actually maintain.

Give me 12 weeks and you’d be amazed what can change — your strength, fitness, confidence, habits, body composition and how you feel in yourself.

🎄 Festive Focus – 12 Week Challenge
📅 Starts Monday 7th September
💷 £120 for the full 12 weeks

Book here:

Come and see what we can achieve before the Christmas chaos begins. 🎄💪

First full week of all 4 lifting sessions in the whole of August.

Am I a bit weaker? Yep.
Am I a bit fluffier? Also yep. 😂

But THIS is a huge part of what I try to teach the people I work with on my 12-week challenges.

Because the negative mindset can do far more damage than a few inconsistent weeks ever will.

I could beat myself up, punish myself with exercise, slash my food and decide I’ve “ruined everything”.

Been there. Not doing that anymore.

Summer looked different. I had holidays, my routine was all over the place and training was bitty.

But a messy month doesn’t undo years of consistency.

My holidays are done. I’ve lifted four times this week. Routine is coming back.

No punishment. No dramatic restart.

Head up. Keep moving forward.

That’s the mindset I want my clients taking away from the 12 weeks — because long-term progress is learning how to navigate the messy bits, not pretending they won’t happen. ❤️

Protein. Not particularly exciting… but REALLY bloody useful 😂

And this is exactly the sort of education you get alongside the workouts on my 12-week challenge.

I don’t want you just following instructions for 12 weeks.

I want you understanding protein, fibre, steps, sleep and all the other basics so you actually know what you’re doing when the challenge finishes.

We’re not prepping for a bodybuilding competition here 😂

For us mere mortals, getting the basics right will take you a VERY long way.

So today’s little lesson…

Where’s the protein?

Have a look at what you’re eating today — and send me some pics 👀

End of an era 🥹❤️

After years of training together, my lovely Lynsey Hegarty is leaving me for a new job and a new routine 😭😂

We’ve trained hard, laughed A LOT, discussed absolutely everything, sorted each other’s lives out and both provided what can only be described as a completely unqualified therapy service between sets 😂

Thank you for all the years of loyalty, Lyns. I’ve loved every session and every chat. Hopefully this isn’t goodbye, just a see you later ❤️

And Rachel & Charlotte — We’ll miss our little circuit crew too! 🥹 Although a replacement has already been recruited, so apparently We’ve moved on quickly 😂

Which does mean… for the first time since 2023, I have a regular 1:1 PT slot becoming available 👀

I’ll post properly about it later this week, but if you’ve been waiting for a space with me, drop me a message/comment now and I’ll start an interest list.

There may also be the odd space in my small-group circuits, so you can ask me about those too.

Thank you, Lynsey. It’s been an absolute pleasure ❤️

Anyone else struggle to get back into it after a holiday? 🙋🏼‍♀️

You can be absolutely flying beforehand… then come home and your routine’s gone to s**t. 😂

It’s really common — and I don’t think there’s one right way to fix it.

Some people need to go straight back in. Others need to ease themselves back over a few days.

I’ve learned over the years what tends to work for me, but even that can change from holiday to holiday.

The important bit is don’t write yourself off when the first attempt doesn’t go perfectly.

Keep trying. Keep learning what works for you. You genuinely can get better at the coming-home bit.

Anyone been away this summer? How’s the return to normality gone?

Holiday mode. Completed it mate. ✅😂

Three weeks away out of the last four — one with my partner, one full family & friends UK break and one abroad with the kids.

Not how I’d normally plan summer, but with a blended family and multiple schedules to work around, that’s just how it fell this year.

Now I’m back, with three weeks left of my summer challenge.

And I’m not expecting myself to suddenly be 100% nailed on because I’ve unpacked my suitcase.

I’ll use these next three weeks to gradually turn the dial back up.

🥗 Get some structure back into my food
🏋🏻‍♀️ Get my normal training routine back
🚶🏻‍♀️ Keep moving
😴 Still enjoy a bit more flexibility while the kids are off

Because there’s a big difference between easing off and switching off completely.

I say this to my clients every summer: keep the pot simmering.

Summer probably won’t be your most focused few weeks of the year. Plans change, kids are off, holidays happen, routines move around.

That doesn’t mean six weeks of “f**k it, I’ll start again in September.” 😂

Keep doing what you can. Keep enough of those good habits ticking over. Enjoy your summer.

Then gradually turn the heat back up.

September doesn’t need to be another restart. You can arrive there already moving. 🔥

Back to reality. 😅☀️

Monday morning looked exactly as it should…

✅ 5K walk done
✅ Gym session done
✅ Online class coached
✅ Back to normal

For anyone wondering…

Yes, I still trained while I was away. In fact, I probably got four of my best gym sessions in because nobody was asking me for snacks every 17 seconds. 😂

I also got at least a 5K walk in every day.

Did I still come home 5kg heavier?

Absolutely. 🤣

Cocktails? Plenty. 🍹
Desserts? Don’t even ask. 🍨
The all-inclusive? I considered it a personal challenge.

The ice cream bar deserved its own five-star review, and those profiteroles on the last day… elite.

Am I panicking?

Not even slightly.

After years of tracking my body, I know exactly what’s happened. Most of it’s food, water and routine changes, and it’ll settle back down over the next week or so. Then I’ll tighten things up a little towards the end of summer.

The goal was never to come home lighter.

The goal was to enjoy the holiday, keep a few good habits ticking over, make memories, and get straight back into routine when I got home.

Mission accomplished. 💪☀️

Who doesn’t love a nosey inside someone else’s fridge? 😂

This wasn’t planned at all.

I’d finished my food prep, looked in the fridge and thought… this might actually be useful to show people.

And to be fair, this is pretty much what my fridge looks like most weeks.

A couple of hours on a Sunday and I’ve sorted most of my meals, the kids’ teas, overnight oats, smoothie bags… the lot.

The biggest benefit isn’t even saving time.

It’s removing decision fatigue.

With work, clubs and everyone eating at different times, there’s always something ready to grab.

It’s not about being perfect.

It’s about making the easier choice the healthy choice.

Have you ever tried meal prepping?

It doesn’t have to look like this.

Even cooking a little extra at tea time so you’ve got lunch ready for the next day is a great place to start.
