it’s all about balance…

snapshots of the week ✨

Sunday Recap

A lot of food, a lot of exercise, and a lot of celebration ❤️

Let the summer really begin ☀️🏃‍♀️🍓

I always look forward to our sessions - it has been extremely rewarding watching you overcome fitness challenges. You are not a quitter and you keep me in my toes with your gym math 👀🤭😆

Thank you for trusting me with your fitness journey, Esther Young You are a breath of fresh air and positivity!

Heatwave dinner 🥵🔥☀️

Blend your avocado with Greek yogurt for extra protein 🍤🥑

Three more fabulous women to showcase:

One is building up her fitness and strength so she can be the very best version of herself and have the energy to enjoy every stage of motherhood (if you know, you know!)

One is learning her way around the gym, discovering what she’s capable of, lifting heavier than she ever thought possible, and finding confidence through trying new challenges - her progress is mind blowing 🤯

One is in her mid-70s and focusing on balance, coordination, and the movements that make everyday life easier and more independent.

Fitness isn’t about looking a certain way - it’s about creating a stronger, healthier life that supports the things that matter most to you and no matter where you are starting, your goals and your progress matters. Every step forward is worth celebrating - even if it’s just one rep or one kilogram lost.

Client Review ⭐

Three women. Three different reasons for starting. One thing in common: they all committed to movement and sustained their exercise plans for more than a year (with me 🥹)

Their journeys look different, and their motivations aren’t exactly the same. But their success comes from a shared approach: consistency over perfection, patience over quick fixes, and finding a form of exercise that fits their needs.

Fitness isn’t one-size-fits-all. The most effective plan is the one you can sustain 💪🏼

Some meals from this week ✨

- Steak, garlic mash (with skin 😬), steamed veggies
- Cheddar and pepper omelette with Greek yogurt, chia seeds, seeds mix and fruits
- Beef and courgette meatballs with wholewheat fusilli and broccoli
- Cajun prawns with rice, avocado, chilli and mango salsa and sautéed peppers and courgette
- Thai basil chicken mince with rice and sautéed vegetables

I find myself talking about meal prepping almost every week with clients. These meals might look a bit elaborate, but they all took me less than 20 minutes and I use a repeat of ingredients throughout the week to reduce the guess work and waste.

Write a list of your staples and keep it in your notes. Find ways to use your favourite proteins and veggies in different ways 😎

An hour of meal prep will save you a lot of headaches during a busy week.

A massive congratulations 🥳 to my client for completing the Brighton Marathon!

This is such a huge accomplishment and she worked hard for months prior to prepare for this big day!

I am not sure I was always her best friend during the process (side planks 😜), but I’m glad Lydia trusted me with her bespoke, running-focused strength training programme over these last few months.

I’ve really enjoyed watching her navigate weight training, nutrition and proper fuelling for endurance exercise and breaking in her beloved Brooks trainers 😂🫶🏻

I am looking forward to seeing what race she’s planning to sign up for next!
