Little bit about me.......
I'm Melissa, your friendly & fun Qualified Personal Trainer + Female Fitness Specialist + Energy Alignment Coach AND a busy mum of two beautiful little girls 💕

Public holidays are funny, aren't they? 😄

No work, no school run, no usual routine… balancing entertaining children, housework, and somehow by 3pm I've eaten my body weight in snacks and haven't got a workout or movement in🙈

That's not a willpower thing. It's a structure thing.

On a normal week, structure does a lot of the heavy lifting for us. Sessions booked in, a walk at lunch, dinner planned. We don't have to think about it, we just do it.

Take the structure away and everything goes a bit wobbly. Totally normal!

And structure doesn't have to mean strict. I think of it like a loose plan, not a rulebook. On a day like today, my "holiday version" is a walk with the family and 10 minutes of moves in between clients or while the kids play with their barbies or puzzles. That's it. Then I enjoy the rest of the day, guilt-free.

Having a simple plan, even a tiny one, is what stops one lazy day turning into a lazy week.
What's your holiday version today? Tell me below 🤍

24/10/2026

Long weekend, and I’m soaking up every bit of family time after being away 🤍

Walks by the water, local markets for lunch (and ice cream 🍦), and enjoying this sunshine while playing at the park.

Being away reminded me how much I love my people. Both of them, the ones at home and the ones in the studio.

What are you up to this long weekend?

Long weekend? Didn't stop these amazing ladies 💪🤍

Full sessions this morning, and the studio was buzzing. Moving, lifting, laughing, and having so much fun together.

This is what I love most about our little community. Nobody's chasing perfect. We just show up for ourselves, cheer each other on, and leave feeling stronger than when we walked in. This or better, every single time.

To every woman who chose to start her long weekend with us, you're doing amazing. I'm so proud of you.

Now go enjoy the sunshine, the family time, and maybe a little extra coffee ☕

And if you'd love to join us, there's a 𝗕𝗢𝗡𝗨𝗦 BodyFit session on Labour Day Monday at 5:30pm, plus BoxFit at 6:15pm and 7:00pm. Come as you are 🤍

This weight, or better.
That’s the whole plan.

Drop a 💪 if you lifted a little heavier this week.
Drop a 👋 if you’d love some support getting started.

This week in the studio, I watched one of my gorgeous clients pick up the next weight up for the first time. She looked at it, a bit nervous, and then she did it. Every rep, beautiful form. The smile after? Priceless.

That’s this or better. Not perfect. Not huge jumps. Just a little braver than last time.

And it adds up. If you read Deb’s story earlier this week, you’ll know exactly what I mean. Stronger legs for the stairs. Energy for the kids. Feeling like yourself again.

What’s your win this week? Big or small, tell me below 🤍

Can I tell you about the women I love working with? 🤍

She’s busy. Maybe a mum, maybe juggling work, family, ageing parents, all of it. She’s been putting herself last for so long she’s not quite sure who she is anymore.

She’s tired of starting over every Monday. She thinks fitness has to be an hour of punishment, or it doesn’t count. And the gym? Intimidating. She doesn’t want to be the one who doesn’t know what she’s doing.

I know her so well, because she was me. I used to do hour-long hard sessions and feel exhausted, not stronger.

So here’s what I do differently. Short 30-minute sessions. Small groups of women who cheer each other on. Lifting that’s challenging but doable, with me right beside you. And one simple mindset... 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿.

Does any of this sound like you? Tell me below. I read every single comment 😀

𝗔𝗱𝗱 𝗮 𝘇𝗲𝗿𝗼. My easy protein trick 🥄

Lifting heavy is one half. What we eat is the other. We want high protein, good protein, and not lots of calories with it. Here’s how to check in seconds.

Let’s use yoghurt. Turn it around and look at the 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟬𝟬𝗴 (or 100ml) column, not per serving.

1. Find the protein and add a zero. 9.6g becomes 96.
2. Find the kilojoules (kJ) and divide by 4.2. So 380kJ becomes about 90.
3. If that second number is equal to or lower than your protein number, it’s a great protein pick. Here, 90 is under 96, so it passes. The lower, the better.

Mine is actually a little over, but I stir in protein powder, so once it’s all combined the protein is much higher. That’s okay too.

This isn’t about being perfect. Just start noticing. Am I getting the best protein for my day without lots of extra calories?

Try it on something in your fridge and tell me how it went 👇

"Who you BE determines what you DO to get what you HAVE." - Martin Rooney 🤍

I'm home from my conference on the Gold Coast, and this quote has been on repeat in my head ever since.

So often we start with the HAVE. I want to feel stronger. I want more energy. I want to feel like myself again. Then we jump straight to the DO. A new workout, a new plan, another fresh start on Monday.

But it starts with who you BE.

When you decide, "I'm a woman who shows up for herself," everything shifts. You pick up the heavier weight. You get your steps in, even on the busy days. You choose to surround yourself with women who lift you up. And the having? That follows.

This weekend was all about culture, community, and being a coach, not just a trainer. For me, that means being the next-level version of myself, a step ahead of you. Not perfect, but a little further down the same road. So you can look at me and think, "She's been where I am. If she can, I can too."

So here's my question for you this week. Who do you want to BE? 👇
