šŸ‡³šŸ‡æ HELP US GET TO NATIONALS šŸ†

After an incredible showing at the NZIFBB South Island Regional Show, members of the SPECFIT team have earned their place at Nationals in Auckland.

Rather than simply asking for support, we wanted to give something back.

We’ve opened up just 20 SPECFIT program spots at special Nationals Support pricing:

šŸ‹ļø 8-WEEK FOUNDATION
Normally $99 → $59

šŸ”„ 12-WEEK PROGRESS
Normally $149 → $99

Both programs are delivered through the SPECFIT app and include structured training, exercise demonstrations, progression guidance, habit targets and progress tracking.

PLUS šŸ‘€

Every eligible program purchase also receives 1 entry into the draw to win 12 weeks of personalised Advanced Online Coaching valued up to $1,350.

Already a SPECFIT client? You can still support the team by purchasing Foundation or Progress as a gift for a friend or family member, and you’ll still receive an entry into the draw.

Only 20 spots available across both programs.

Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

šŸ“© DM ā€œNATIONALSā€ to get started.

Thank you to everyone who has supported, shared and backed the team so far. It genuinely means a lot to us šŸ™

FROM OVERALL CHAMPION TO THE NATIONAL STAGE šŸ¤ŽšŸ†

Never did I imagine I’d be writing this, but here we are… I’m officially heading to the IFBB Nationals Pro Qualifier on 31 October 2026 in Auckland!🄹

After taking home the Overall Women’s Fit Model title at my very first competition, I now have the opportunity to step onto an even bigger stage and chase something I’ve only ever dreamed of!

With only a few weeks to prepare, everything is happening so quickly, and as exciting as this opportunity is, it also comes with some unexpected expenses.

I’m reaching out to my friends, family and amazing community for a little support in helping me get there. Any donations will go towards my competition bikini, flights, accommodation and registration fees.

Asking for help isn’t always easy, but this opportunity means so much to me, and I don’t want finances to be the reason I don’t give it everything I’ve got.

Whether you’re able to donate, share this post or simply cheer me on, please know how incredibly grateful I am. No amount is too small, and every bit of support means more than you know.

šŸ¤Ž HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT ME šŸ¤Ž

If you’d like to make a donation towards getting me to Nationals, you can do so via bank transfer:

Account Name: BRITTNEY WERNICH

Account Number: 02-0704-0186093-015

Reference: Your Name & Surname

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me chase this dream. Every little bit truly makes a difference. šŸ¤ŽšŸ¤Ž

WHAT A WEEKEND FOR THE SPECFIT TEAM šŸ†

This past weekend we had the privilege of stepping on stage at the NZIFBB South Island Regional Show, and I don’t think we could be prouder of what this team achieved.

But the placings only tell a small part of the story.

Every person went through their own prep. Early mornings, hard training sessions, cardio, hunger, fatigue, life happening in the background, doubts, sacrifices, and plenty of moments where it would have been easier to take the foot off the pedal, but they didn’tšŸ’Ŗ

They showed up, represented themselves incredibly well and, most importantly, supported one another throughout the entire process.

A massive thank you to IFBB Pro League New Zealand , the judges, officials, volunteers and everyone involved in putting on the South Island show. These events take an enormous amount of work behind the scenes and give athletes the opportunity to showcase months, and sometimes years, of preparation.

And to everyone who supported us from back home in Nelson, messaged us, checked in throughout prep, or made the trip down to Christchurch to support us in person, THANK YOUšŸ™Œ

Hearing the support when our athletes walked on stage meant more than you probably realise. That sense of community is something we’ll never take for granted.

As a coach, seeing the team succeed is incredibly rewarding. As competitors ourselves, being able to stand alongside them and experience the same nerves, challenges and excitement made this weekend even more special.

Medals and trophies are great, but seeing people push beyond what they thought they were capable of, watching teammates genuinely celebrate each other’s success, and coming home knowing everyone gave it everything they had…That’s the part we’re most proud of šŸ–¤šŸ¤

SPECFIT showed up, and we’re just getting startedšŸ”„

And a special mention to our friend and fellow Nelson athlete, Julie Marie Pyers, who absolutely smashed it:

How hard should you actually train?

56% of you said this was harder to judge than knowing what exercises to do.

And simply seeing ā€œ3 Ɨ 10ā€ written in a program doesn’t answer that question.

One way we prescribe training effort is using RIR, Reps In Reserve.

If you finish a set at 2 RIR, you’re estimating that you could have completed another 2 good-quality reps before reaching failure.

For hypertrophy, getting reasonably close to failure matters, but that doesn’t mean every set needs to be taken to absolute failure. Research suggests training closer to failure can favour muscle growth, while consistently reaching failure isn’t required and tends to produce greater fatigue.

• Exercise selection matters.
• ⁠Volume matters.
• ⁠Progression matters.
• ⁠Effort matters.

A good program accounts for all of them.

It’s You vs. You.

Nobody is coming to do it for you.

The version of yourself you keep saying you want to become is built in the moments nobody sees.

The early mornings.
The sessions you didn’t feel like doing.
The meals you chose when it would’ve been easier not to.
The discipline when motivation disappeared.
The days you doubted yourself but showed up anyway.

I know what it feels like to look at yourself and want more. Not because you hate who you are but because deep down, you know what you’re capable of.

The woman on the left wasn’t weak.
She was simply at the beginning of becoming the woman on the right.

And the biggest thing I’ve learnt?

You don’t need to become someone else.
You need to keep becoming you.

Stronger. More disciplined. More confident. More resilient.

Stop comparing your chapter to somebody else’s.

Your competition has always been the person staring back at you.

YOU vs. YOU. Every single day.

5 weeks. 4.9kg down. And the photos say even morešŸ‘

From the end of August to the start of October, bodyweight has moved from around 69.3kg to approximately 64.4kg.

But the graph is probably the most important part of this post.

There were days where his weight went up.
Days where it barely changed.
And then periods where it dropped quickly.

That’s normal.

We didn’t react to every individual weigh-in. We looked at the trend, assessed the progress photos, and adjusted where necessary.

And the photos tell their own story.

A noticeably tighter waist and midsection, improved definition, and a completely different overall look in just five weeks.

There’s still work to do, but this is what consistent ex*****on looks like.

Track the data. Assess the trend. Adjust when necessary.

šŸ‘‡ DM ā€œCOACHMEā€ if you want help building a plan around you.

You can train hard for an hour and still dramatically change how much energy you expend through the rest of your day.

That’s where NEAT, Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis, comes in.

NEAT includes the everyday movement that isn’t structured exercise…walking around work, standing, household jobs, taking the stairs and all the little movements you barely notice.

It becomes especially relevant during a fat-loss phase because as energy intake and bodyweight decrease, spontaneous movement can also decrease.

So when progress slows, the answer isn’t automatically ā€œeat less.ā€

Look at the full picture:

• Calories
• ⁠Training
• ⁠Steps
• ⁠Daily activity
• ⁠Recovery
• ⁠Bodyweight trends

Your movement outside the gym matters.

Save this for your next fat-loss phasešŸ“Œ

This one makes me so proud!!

Watching my clients change physically is amazing, but watching their confidence grow, their mindset shift and seeing them realise what they’re actually capable of is why I love what I do.

She has worked SO hard for this. She’s shown up on the days she felt motivated and, more importantly, on the days she didn’t. She’s trusted me, trusted the process and continued putting in the work week after week.

And THIS is the result.

I get to see all the little wins behind these photos, the conversations, the hard days, the improvements, the strength gained and those moments where things finally start clicking.

I’m incredibly proud of you and everything you’ve achieved so far. šŸ–¤

THE SCALE WENT UP… now what?

For so many women, seeing a higher number on the scale can completely change the way they feel about themselves that day.

But here’s what we want you to remember:

Scale weight ≠ body fat.

Your weight can fluctuate because of water retention, your menstrual cycle, sodium, carbohydrates, digestion, stress, sleep, food volume and even a hard training session.

That higher number does not automatically mean you gained fat.

And it definitely doesn’t mean you need to punish yourself by eating less, skipping meals or adding more cardio.

Your progress should be looked at as a trend over time, alongside your measurements, progress photos, strength, performance, energy and consistency.

One number is simply one piece of data.

So next time the scale jumps, instead of asking ā€œWhat did I do wrong?ā€

Ask yourself: ā€œWhat could be influencing this today?ā€

Then keep following the plan.

The scale is a tool. Not a measure of your worth.

Save this for the next time the scale tries to mess with your head and send it to a woman who needs to hear itšŸ–¤

This is us.
This is SPECFIT.

Built from discipline. Built from consistency. Built from the belief that results aren’t given they’re earned.

We don’t just preach the lifestyle. We live it. The early mornings, the hard sessions, the sacrifices, the setbacks, the days motivation isn’t there and choosing to show up anyway.

SPECFIT is more than training. More than a brand.

It’s about becoming stronger, physically and mentally. Setting a standard for yourself and refusing to settle for less than what you know you’re capable of.

Two people. One vision. One standard.
This is US. This is SPECFIT. šŸ’£
