Katie thought proper sustainable weight loss was impossible for her..
She’d always relied on cutting carbs, shakes or other misery.
It never lasted.
What Katie NEVER had access to was this…
👉 Flexible, progressive training she could do from home.
👉 Education on nutrition, so it became less daunting.
👉 Support + accountability when things got tough.
👉 Adaptations in her plan when life got in the way
👉 Guidance from world leading experts on gearing her mindset for success.
And now, after having access to that for 90 days, Katie is..
🔥 22lbs down
🔥 Stronger + fitter than she’s ever been
🔥 Completely clear on how to sustain it for good.
So if you’re wanting to look your best, feel amazing and understand how to sustain it this time without all the normal ‘fitness misery’ message me “INTERESTED” and let’s chat.

I went for a walk this morning with Neville (my beautiful big black Lab).
Sun was shining, birds were chirping, and I was loving being out early, so I didn’t put a podcast on.
I just let my brain wander.
Twelve years of coaching. Somewhere north of 550 clients. Hundreds of plans written, thousands of check-ins, and more problems solved than I care to count.
What struck me was how similar the people who got really good results - and stayed there - actually looked.
Not similar bodies. Not similar schedules. On paper, they had very little in common: different ages, jobs, and starting points.
But they all created the same small handful of behaviours, again and again.
And none of them were world-changingly clever. That’s the annoying part.
It was all things like:
🌟 Front-loading protein at breakfast, so the evening looks after itself instead of turning into a mad “deep-throat some chicken” scramble at 7pm.
🌟 A litre of water before the first coffee, because your brain has just gone eight hours without a drink.
🌟 Weekends that look vaguely like the rest of the week (you know as well as I do that nothing works properly if Friday to Sunday falls off a cliff).
🌟 Getting slightly stronger than last month, deliberately. Not suddenly becoming a hero. Just slightly, strategically better.
That’s the pattern. That’s what a decade of watching people up close actually taught me.
So I sat down and wrote out every lesson I’d keep from those twelve years, and recorded the lot in one go.
It’s about half an hour. I promised twenty minutes and went well over, which probably tells you something about how much there was.
Comment “lessons” down below and I’ll fire it over 👊

£18,000 for coaching.
Eighteen-Thousand-Good-English-Goddamn-Pounds.
That’s what a new client told me she’d been quoted by a coach she worked with before.
And look, before anyone thinks this is a cheap shot at ultra-expensive coaches, it’s absolutely not.
I think coaching should cost proper money.
I’ve spent over ten years honing my craft, and a small fortune on my own coaches, mentors and consultants along the way (Charlotte has seen me in a cold sweat almost having a panic attack after paying for some, she can confirm).
Good coaching is an investment. No argument from me.
But £18k... 😱
Here’s what some coaches have worked out. If you charge the absolute maximum up front, people feel so invested they’ll comply with anything through gritted teeth.
Sunk cost doing the heavy lifting instead of actual coaching.
The problem? Compliance isn’t the same as change.
The moment the contract ends, so do the results, because nobody taught you how to actually live it day-to-day.
That client’s exact words about working with us instead?
“This is so so much better for me. There is so much more support.”
And that support is why, on average, people stay with The Balanced Body for 14.3 months.
That’s not a contract length. Nobody’s tied in that long.
That’s just how long people choose to stick around when the accountability works, the community has their back, and the coaching is built around their actual life rather than a template.
They stay because it works, then they leave knowing how to keep it. That’s the whole point.
If you’ve been burned by a big price tag with not much behind it, I get it, and I’m here when you’re ready.

“I’m now 14lbs down and learned so much through the process that I am determined to continue.”
Best email I’ve had all month.
It’s from a client who’s been with us a while and decided to fly the coop and test her new skills out on her own.
Most coaches would read that and see lost revenue.
Me? Chuffed to bits.
Because unlike most coaching programmes out there, my job is not to keep clients forever.
My number one job is to get every client to the point where they DON’T need me anymore.
And getting there takes three things. Understanding the whole process so nothing fazes you anymore, getting clear on what’s thrown you off track before, and staying consistent long enough that it all becomes habit.
Whether that takes 12 weeks, 6 months or a couple of years is purely individual.
I want our programme to be the LAST one anyone ever needs.
That’s why we don’t just talk about lifting weights and food. Here’s a taste of what we’ve covered on coaching calls over just the past few months…
The Food Noise Fairy 🧚
Your Two Futures
The Iceberg (how your unconscious sabotages you)
The Weekend Trap
The Bounce Back System
Your Brain Is Lying to You
The Summer Holiday Gameplan
Self Confidence Is a Track Record
The Mental Load Hacks
Who Gets the Vote
…and that’s not even half of it.
If you read that list and thought “I could do with about six of those”, let’s have a chat.
I’ve opened up some free 1-1 coaching calls over the next couple of weeks. 30 minutes, just you and me. We’ll get clear on where you are, what’s actually been keeping you stuck, and map out a plan that fits your real life.
You’ll walk away with that plan whether we ever work together or not.
DM me the word “PLAN” and I’ll send over my calendar 👊

The ingredients are simple..
1. Take a heaped tablespoon of progressive training that works in your lifestyle.
2. Add a glug of education.
3. Finely chop and add to the mix some support + accountability..
4. Don’t forget to season with a bit of enjoyment + lols..
Then, voila!
You have the recipe for consistent, easy progress.
Which is repeatable, simple and effective.
Sally can tell you just how deliciously mega this recipe is.
Sally joined us having never really trained before.
She was super busy, a bit fried and (as almost all business owners i’ve spoken to have said) had put everything + everyone ahead of herself for years.
Sally needed a plan that would work for her.
That accounted for the fact she ran a business, had a busy family life AND enjoyed her social life!
But actually got results!
I think we did just that..
🔥 19cm off her midline
🔥 11kg lost
🔥 Properly training and LOVING it.
(Psssst.… If you’re sick of not getting results, here’s a tip…. You’re probably missing one of those key ingredients. Simply DM me “Assessment” and I’ll send you a free quiz to help you highlight which one)
