Meet Clare ā¤ļø

When Clare first came to us, she was going through menopause and feeling completely stuck.

Despite training hard, being incredibly strong, and showing up consistently, she just couldn’t seem to lose weight. Alongside that came all the classic menopause symptoms that so many women struggle with.

She felt lost.

Frustrated.

And if she’s honest, she’d regularly hit the ā€œf**k itā€ button at the weekends, drink too much, and then spend the next week trying to undo the damage. The result? No real progress and feeling further away from the person she wanted to be.

Fast forward just over 6 months…

8kg down and, more importantly, she’s kept it off.

She’s still as strong as ever in the gym. But what we’re most proud of is how she feels.

Happier.

More confident.

More in control.

Like she’s found herself again.

Like she’s found Clare again.

The best part? This hasn’t come from giving up the things she enjoys.

She still goes out. She still enjoys a few drinks. She still lives her life.

The difference now is that one weekend doesn’t turn into one bad month. She knows how to enjoy herself and get straight back on track without guilt, punishment or starting over every Monday.

Recently, Clare went on a cruise and came back without gaining any weight.

That might not sound like a huge achievement to some people, but it tells us everything.

It shows that she’s changed her habits, her mindset and her relationship with food and alcohol. She’s built a lifestyle she can actually maintain.

That’s why we know this isn’t temporary.

The weight isn’t coming back.

If anything, she’ll continue to make progress while feeling stronger, healthier and more like herself than ever.

So proud of you, Clare. ā¤ļø

Not just for losing 8kg, but for proving to yourself that menopause doesn’t mean giving up on feeling amazing.

You’ve found Clare again. Always. šŸ™ŒšŸ’Ŗā¤ļø

Don’t wait for the stars to align

Don’t wait for motivation to be there

Don’t wait until the perfect time.

Just get started and the rest will follow.

Any mums out there who take their kids to the gym too šŸ™ˆšŸ‘‹

Being a mum of two, Carla came to us with a goal that so many women are scared to say out loud… she wanted to gain weight, get stronger, and build muscle.

Over the past few months she has done exactly that.

She’s gained healthy weight, built muscle, and completely changed the shape of her body (hello b***y gains and back gains). And yes… she’s doing it while eating over 3000 calories a day.

But this is only the beginning…

Right now Carla is training for a HYROX and a half marathon, and once that’s done… we’re going ALL IN on the real gainzzzz.

One thing I admire most about Carla is that she makes it happen no matter what. Some days she even brings her kids to the gym so she can get her session done. They sit there watching her in admiration thinking, ā€œthat’s my mum.ā€ And honestly, that is such a powerful example to set.

Carla, thank you for trusting us with your journey. I’m so proud of you for putting yourself first, because it truly shows , not just physically, but mentally too.

A reminder to every mum out there:

It is NEVER too late to start.
Just because you’re a mum doesn’t mean you stop prioritising yourself.

You deserve to feel strong, confident, and powerful too.

Busy mums don’t need perfect weeks.

They need a simple plan they can actually stick to.

You don’t need 5 workouts.
You don’t need to cut out carbs.
You don’t need to wait until life calms down.

You need 2-3 focused sessions a week, better food habits, and support when motivation drops.

Because the goal isn’t to be perfect.

It’s to feel stronger, have more energy, feel good in your clothes, and stop feeling like you’re starting again every Monday.

If you’re a tired mum who wants to lose weight without living in the gym, message me ā€œSTRONGā€ and I’ll send you the details

If you’re 3–12 months postpartum and you feel like you don’t have time to train… start here:

2 sessions a week.
That’s it. That’s your baseline.

Because most mums don’t need a harder plan… they need a plan that actually fits:

* broken sleep
* low energy
* childcare chaos
* zero brain space

What I’d start you on:

- 2 full-body strength sessions/week
- core work every session (foundation first)
- steps/walks
- missed session = adjust, not fail

If you want, I’ll map a simple 2–3 day plan around your sleep + childcare.

DM me MUM and I’ll send you the next step.

Broken sleep = low capacity.

Low capacity + a big unrealistic plan = quitting.

Quitting = guilt.

Guilt = ā€œwhat’s the point?ā€

That loop is SO common postpartum… and it’s not because you’re lazy or inconsistent. It’s because the plan doesn’t match your life right now.

What works postpartum:

āœ… 2 sessions/week baseline
āœ… core + strength first
āœ… small wins that build momentum
āœ… missed sessions = adjust, not fail
