Let’s be real — not every day will feel like a “show up and smash it” day. And as a coach, I’ll tell you straight: that’s ok.

Progress isn’t built on perfect days.
It’s built on the days you show up imperfectly and still choose to do something. If that’s a workout a walk or a a call with a friend.

When those days hit, focus on:

• What you did do — not what you didn’t. Even the smallest action is still a step forward.
• Your consistency — showing up when it’s hard is where real progress is built.
• Your discipline — the part of you that keeps going even when the spark isn’t there.
• Your resilience — you’ve pushed through tough days before, and you’ll do it again.
• Your growth — you’re not who you were six months ago, and that’s something to be proud of.

Be proud of the days you showed up tired.
Be proud of the days you didn’t quit.
Be proud of the days you did the basics when the basics felt heavy.

That’s where real change is built.

Beep Breath be brave and hear it goes = Now it’s time to share the pictures that really matter — the ones my coach has used to assess exactly where my physique is at, and what needs to happen next to get me stage‑ready for 2027 as a Figure athlete. A full Newbie.

These aren’t fully posed, polished, or perfected. No posing lessons.
Just me, standing there exactly as I am — my true starting point.

These pictures are the foundation my coach is using to build my next phase:
the structure, the shape, the density, and the detail I need to bring a competitive Figure package to the stage.
It’s equal parts exciting and terrifying… but this is the part of the journey that most people never show.

And that’s exactly why I am.

Because if I’m going to document this journey properly, I want to show the real process — not just the highlights.
The rebuild.
The assessment.
The plan.
The commitment to the long game.

These are the photos that mark the beginning of my road to 2027.

Next week, I’ll be sharing the fun ones — the non‑gym, everyday pictures that show the side of me outside of prep.
The laughs, the life, the personality behind the grind.

This journey is bigger than a stage.
It’s about growth, courage, and choosing to step forward every single time.

SOMETIMES YOU FORGET I got a message a few weeks back and thought we all get to this point when we train consistently it’s hard to see the progress so in the words of my client Mel see below , Sometimes you forget how far you’ve actually come… until you look back.

May 2024 — I was training, showing up, doing the sessions… but I had no plan and no accountability. People kept telling me I “looked in shape”, but inside I knew I was just winging it.

June 2025 — Work got busier, stress was high, and even though I was still going to the gym, nothing was changing. No structure. No direction. No real progress. Everyone said I “looked fine”, but I didn’t feel fine.

Then came October 2025 — the start of the cut.
A plan. Accountability. Support. Consistency.
And honestly… that changed everything.

Fast‑forward to now — partway through this cut — and looking at these photos side by side, I can’t believe that was my body 1–2 years ago. I didn’t even realise how much progress I’d made because when you’re in it every day, you don’t always see the changes.

But here’s what I do see now:
I’ve shown up through stress, doubt, long days, and moments where I wanted to fold.
I didn’t.
Because I had a plan.
Because I had accountability.
Because I had support.
And because I finally believed I could do more.

If you’re on your own journey — don’t forget to look back.
You’re probably further ahead than you think. 💪 I’m so excited as we are at the start of the cut in picture 4 the aim is August holidays, this process isn’t a fast one it’s slow to ensure it’s long term sustainable ❤️ ✨

The last 12 months have been all about one thing — becoming healthier, stronger, and fitter.

Over the last year I’ve pushed myself in ways I never have before.And the last 20 weeks have been a whole different level:

• A cut to see what I actually built last year
• A test of whether I could handle the discipline
• A photoshoot — something completely outside my comfort zone
• And the big one… checking how far away I am from stepping on stage for my first bodybuilding show in 2027

This next part feels huge for me.

Over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing a series of posts and stories about my journey so far.
I’m not usually one for putting myself out there — coaching is always about my clients’ growth, not mine. And even though I post training videos, I’m actually quite shy in sharing my personal story.

But growth doesn’t happen in comfort zones.

So I’m starting with my gym pictures first— the place where this whole journey has been built.
Then I’m going to be brave and share my bodybuilding starting point pictures.
And finally… the fun, everyday pics that show the real me behind the prep.

This is me choosing to step forward, not hide.
This is me showing the work, the progress, and the passion behind my goals.

And this is only the beginning.

Coming out of prep and stepping into my reverse phase feels like a whole new chapter — and I’m embracing every part of it.

After months of structure, discipline, and pushing my body to its limit, this week has been about finding balance again… enjoying a little holiday time with the family and friends, moving my body without pressure, and trying out some seriously impressive kit at Y Gampfa.
If you’re ever in Wales, it’s 100% worth a visit — their Instagram is .

Reverse isn’t a “free-for-all”.
It’s a controlled rebuild.
It’s where strength returns, energy rises, hormones settle, and the foundation for the next phase is built.

Right now I’m going to be sitting in a short maintenance phase, letting my body stabilise before we head into the next build.
No rush.
No pressure.
Just intention, consistency, and trust in the process.

Prep taught me discipline.
Reverse is teaching me patience and an understanding of how my body reacts to this level of change.
And the next build will show what happens when you combine both.

Feeling grounded.
Feeling ready.
Feeling focused.
Photos are back now time for physique review and new plan creation from coach couldn’t be more excited 🙌💪more posts and shares on my last 12 months journey coming soon
2027 — big goals incoming.

********Stacey’s Testimonial*********
From my early 20s, I’ve always yo-yo dieted Weight Watchers, Slimming World, magic shakes… you name it, I tried it. By 2024, I was at my heaviest, over 13 stone, and knew something had to change.
Starting with JLR PT was the best decision I could have made, and I’ve never looked back! Jackie has worked so hard to provide me with the right level of support and guidance from calories and protein to exercise and mindset.
Not only has she helped build my body confidence, but also my mental confidence. Earlier this year, in January, I moved from home workouts to the gym because I’m getting married this year and wanted to feel more toned and confident. The change has been massive I’m stronger, healthier, and so much more confident in myself.
I honestly can’t thank Jackie enough for her dedication and support. I’ll continue to use all the knowledge she has given me throughout my journey and for the rest of my life.

Roll on September when im walking down the isle feeling and looking my best

I have been asked few times recently what does a lifting belt do ?

So let me help - Why Wear a Lifting Belt can Help⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

If you’re pushing big numbers on your squats, deadlifts or overhead work… a lifting belt isn’t cheating — it’s smart training. Remember this is heavy to you as everyone has different strength levels.

Here’s what it actually does for you:
More stability — Helps you brace harder and keep your spine solid under load
Lift heavier — Most lifters hit 5–15% more on their big lifts
Less lower‑back strain , better support
More power + speed — Helps you move the bar with confidence
Better technique — Keeps you consistent when the weight gets spicy

A belt won’t replace core strength — but it will help you brace properly and move with more control when it matters most.
Hope it helps but any questions ask away 🫶

Proud Coach, Big Moment 🫶
Proud doesn’t even cover it.
Yesterday Chloe hit a moment she once thought was impossible.

What started as:
“Jackie… I want to deadlift 60kg.”
Fast‑forward to today…
She pulled 80kg like an absolute machine.

Her exact words after the lift:
“I never knew I was capable of that — I can’t believe it.”

But this is what happens when you:

• Show up
• Review your form and take onboard feedback
• Stay consistent
• Trust the process

Boom 💥 — strength unlocked.
Now we’re officially on the road to 100kg 💪💪

If you want strong, rounded glutes, the hip thrust is one of the most effective tools you have — but only when you execute it with intention, Top 3 tips to get more from your hip thrusts:

1️⃣ Neutral spine = better glute tension.
Keep ribs down and drive through your heels but foot flat for a stronger, cleaner lockout.

2️⃣ Control your range.
Go low enough to feel the stretch — not so low you lose tension.
Explore range of motion. Don’t over extend at the top just inline with hip height.

3️⃣ Find your foot sweet spot.
Shins vertical at the top = glutes doing the work, not your quads or hamstrings.
Check out foot positioning.

Small tweaks. Big difference. Stronger glutes.

Another Week Achieved — and Another Week to Level Up

Another week in the bag. Another week of showing up. Another week of choosing goals over excuses.

The truth is simple: your progress will always come from what you can control — not what you can’t.
When you stop wasting energy on the things outside your hands, you free up the power to actually move forward.

Your training.
Your choices.
Your mindset.
Your effort.
That’s where the change happens.
