💪 Client Spotlight! 💪

Today was a BIG one — we took on some classic strongman events for the first time:
➡️ Farmers carries
➡️ Yoke walk
➡️ Sandbag carries
➡️ Atlas stones

And he absolutely SMASHED IT! 🔥🔥🔥

Strongman might look intimidating, but with the right coaching and confidence, it’s one of the most empowering styles of training out there. Watching Barry Colwill pick up, carry, and load weights he never thought possible was incredible — the smile on his face said it all 🙌

This is why I coach: to show people they are stronger than they realise, to help them step outside their comfort zone, and to prove that strength training is for EVERYONE. 💕

This is only the beginning 👊

🌸 Midweek Motivation 🌸

Strong isn’t about lifting the heaviest weight in the room.
It’s about showing up for yourself, even on the days you don’t feel like it.

Every rep you put in builds not just muscle — but confidence, resilience, and belief in yourself.

💪 Keep going. You’re stronger than you think.

💪 3 Ways to Brace Properly Before You Deadlift

1️⃣ Big Belly Breath
Breathe deep into your stomach (not your chest), expanding your ribcage and belly. Think of filling a balloon inside your torso.

2️⃣ Lock the Core
Tighten like someone’s about to punch you in the stomach. Don’t suck in — push out against your belt (or imaginary belt).

3️⃣ Ribcage Over Hips
Keep your ribs stacked over your pelvis. This stops your lower back from arching and keeps your spine neutral.

👉 Bracing = stability. Stability = safer lifts + more strength.

✨ How to Deadlift & Why It Matters ✨

The deadlift is one of the most powerful lifts you can do — and it’s not just for strongman competitors. It’s for everyone who wants to get stronger, move better, and build confidence in and out of the gym. 💪

How to Deadlift (Step by Step):
1️⃣ Stand with your feet about hip-width apart, barbell (or object) over your mid-foot.
2️⃣ Grip the bar just outside your legs, keeping arms straight.
3️⃣ Set your back — chest proud, shoulders pulled back, brace your core.
4️⃣ Drive through your legs, pushing the floor away as you stand tall.
5️⃣ Lock out with hips and glutes, then lower with control.

Why We Deadlift:
✔ Builds total-body strength (legs, glutes, back, grip… everything works!)
✔ Carries over into real life — picking up kids, shopping bags, furniture.
✔ Boosts posture and core stability.
✔ Builds confidence — there’s something empowering about lifting heavy from the floor!

Whether you’re chasing PBs, starting your strongwoman journey, or just wanting to move through life with more strength, the deadlift is your friend.

🔥 Remember: strength is a skill. Start light, master your form, then build up.

✨ Client’s First Strongman Session! ✨

Such a proud coach moment today — one of my clients had his very first strongman session and absolutely smashed it 🙌

We worked through:
🔹 Barbell Clean & Press — learning explosive power and timing
🔹 Axle Clean & Press — getting used to the thicker bar and overhead drive
🔹 Axle Deadlift — building grip, power, and strongman-specific technique
🔹 Incline Dumbbell Press — building pressing strength and stability
🔹 Lat Pulldown — developing back strength to support her lifts
🔹 Row Variations — reinforcing posture, pulling strength, and balance

The focus wasn’t maxing out, but laying strong foundations — technique, confidence, and feeling what strongman training is all about 💪

So proud of the effort he put in — this is just the beginning, and the progress is going to be incredible 👏

What Barry Colwill had to say about the session

Training with Megan has been great. She’s supportive, friendly, and knows exactly how to push me to get stronger while keeping it fun and motivating.

👉 If you’ve ever thought strongman isn’t for you… it absolutely is. You just need the right start.

💪 Strong Mamas Start Here 💕

Pregnancy is one of the most incredible things your body will ever do — but it’s also a huge change physically and mentally.

Staying active while you’re expecting isn’t about “pushing harder” or “bouncing back” — it’s about supporting your body, building strength for birth, and setting yourself up for recovery postpartum.

As a mum of two and a coach specialising in pre and postnatal fitness, I know first-hand how empowering it feels to move in a way that’s safe and tailored for your changing body.

✅ Maintain strength and mobility
✅ Support pelvic floor health
✅ Reduce aches and pains
✅ Feel confident in your body

Every pregnancy is unique — your training should be too.
If you’re expecting and want guidance that’s safe, supportive, and designed just for you, send me a DM and let’s talk about how I can help you train through pregnancy feeling strong and capable.

You’re not just growing a baby… you’re growing a stronger YOU. 💖

"Training with Your Cycle – Not Against It" 💪🌸

Ladies, your menstrual cycle isn’t just a monthly “inconvenience” — it’s a powerful part of how your body works. 🩸

Our energy levels, strength, and recovery can shift throughout the month, and understanding those changes means you can train smarter, not harder.

✨ Follicular Phase (Day 1–14) – Hormones are on the rise after your period, energy is higher, and you might feel stronger and more motivated. This can be a great time for heavier lifts, pushing PBs, and more intense sessions.

✨ Luteal Phase (Day 15–28) – Progesterone rises, which can make you feel warmer, less explosive, and sometimes more fatigued. Here, it’s okay to focus on form, reduce training volume slightly, and prioritise recovery.

💡 The key? Listen to your body. Some months you might smash a deadlift PR on day 25, others you might swap that session for active recovery — both are wins.

Your cycle isn’t a barrier to progress — it’s a built-in training guide. Learn it, use it, own it. 💪💗

What’s your experience? Do you notice changes in your training during your cycle? ⬇️

Hey, I’m Megan! 👋

I’m a women’s strength coach, strongwoman athlete, mum of two amazing girls, and pre & postnatal fitness specialist.

I know first-hand how hard it can feel to find your strength—especially while juggling life, work, and motherhood. My mission is to help women feel strong in every season of life:
💪 Hitting that first deadlift PR

For me, lifting has never just been about the weight on the bar—it’s about the confidence and resilience it gives you in everyday life (and yes, keeping up with my girls too!).

Here you’ll find tips, support, and a little mum-life honesty as I share my own journey in strongwoman training and helping other women become their strongest selves.

If you’re ready to lift, laugh, and feel unstoppable—stick around. 💖With.Megan
