Lift Your Health

Belated birthday celebrations in Manchester 🐝✨

A little reminder that I’m closed tomorrow… yes, my menopause brain got the Bank Holiday dates mixed up!

Anyway, my active rest will involve wine, food & a little retail therapy… my kind of self-care! 🥂

Happy Sunday 💛

Happy 4️⃣0️⃣th Birthday to my lovely client, Rachael! 🎉💛

Not everyone’s goal is fat loss…

Rachael joined me in October 2025 with a goal to build strength, particularly around her knees.

Having never lifted weights before, it has been a pleasure to watch Rachael progress over the months — building confidence in her ability, improving her strength and developing better range of movement.

From shocking herself with weights she once perceived as unachievable, to picking up a barbell without a second thought! 💪🏼

Well done Rachael, you should be proud of yourself and enjoy your special day! 🥂💛

Perfect timing with the fifth heatwave due to hit this week, my brand new air-conditioning system is now fully installed ☀️❄️.

So, no excuses or moaning - your sessions will now be cool and comfortable, and I will not have to walk around fanning you!

A huge thank you to Callum at Eco Source Solutions for going above and beyond to source my specific unit, and for giving up his weekend to get it fitted.

Happy Sunday everyone 💛

Laura is a returning client who came back to me three months ago looking for the right training, support, and guidance — with zero judgement — following her incredible weight loss.

Her journey has been supported by GLP-1 medication (Mounjaro/Wegovy). Some may see “the jab” as the easy option, but for Laura, as she put it, “it’s saving my life.”

Laura needed to lose weight to help improve her kidney function, and in just 12 months, her kidney function has doubled!

Not only that, Laura has lost a staggering 8 stone! She’s sleeping better, feeling better, moving more, and experiencing fewer aches and pains.

I’ve worked with many clients over the years who have used GLP-1 medication, and while it can help reduce appetite, it’s not magic.

My clients still need to learn how to:

🏋️‍♀️ Protect and retain muscle
🥗 Make nutritious, sustainable food choices
💪 Build strength and fitness
🧠 Develop healthy habits they can maintain long term.

Laura, I’m incredibly proud of your hard work and grateful to be part of your health journey.

✨End of Term 2025 vs End of Term 2026✨

The progress Jo has made over the last 12 months has been incredible. I’m so proud of my long-term client and friend—she looks and feels amazing! 💛

Jo has always been consistent with her training, but she’d be the first to admit that nutrition wasn’t always her strong point. We took the time to revisit her why, and since then, there has been no stopping her!

Her old wardrobe has been sold on Vinted, and a small fortune spent on a whole new one—shopping in stores that never used to stock her size.

Fantastic work Jo, your consistency, and commitment have paid off, and I’m sure there will be plenty more clothes shopping to come! 💛✨

Homeward bound, as always, Lindos has been amazing 🇬🇷🧿

I am looking forward to seeing all my lovely Clients from Monday onwards.

A recharge and reset is fully needed — along with plenty of feta, gyros, and gin 🇬🇷

The first six months at LYH have, yet again, been fully booked, with a growing waiting list!

I am so grateful for every single one of you. Thank you for keeping me so busy 💛

🌟 Client Spotlight🌟

Rach joined me in 2025 with a clear goal: enjoy exercise, get stronger & reduce body fat.

11 months later ….

▪️3.5 stone lost
▪️A staggering 43 inches dropped
▪️Lifting heavy & feeling strong
▪️Better sleep & more energy

Rach is the fittest she has been in years and I could not be more proud of her consistency, dedication and hard work …. it is not easy!

Enjoy your holiday and re-set before we move into phase 2 💛

Welcome back, Carrie… and baby Alec 💙

At 7 weeks postpartum, Carrie is returning to gradual exercise.

Resuming physical activity after pregnancy can have many benefits for mums, including:

▪️ improved emotional wellbeing
▪️ reduced anxiety and depression
▪️ improved physical conditioning

It’s important to remember that every postpartum journey is different. Some mums feel ready to return to movement earlier, while for others it may be 7 months or even 7 years — there is no right or wrong timeline, only what feels right for you and your body.

And one of my favourite parts of welcoming back my post-pregnancy clients … baby cuddles 💙

I just want to say I am super proud of every single client who has shown up for their sessions this week.

I expected lots of cancellations, especially with the effect this weather does to our sleep … or lack of it!

Fans have been on full blast and we have adapted sessions, lightened the loads and had plenty of rest in between sets.

With our UK weather, I am sure we will be back to the heating on next week.

Happy weekend 💛
