My Fit Life

🌱 New beginnings. Spring is in the air. 🌸

You can feel it… nature is changing, the days are getting longer, and people are naturally spending more time outside. There’s a new energy everywhere — and I absolutely love it! 💚

Spring feels like a fresh start.
✨ New ideas
✨ New projects
✨ New adventures
✨ New friendships
✨ New possibilities

It’s a beautiful reminder that we can always choose to begin again.

So, what will you start fresh this spring? 🌿

Maybe it’s something big… or perhaps just one small change that makes you feel more alive.

Here’s to a season of fresh energy, new beginnings and saying YES to what excites us! 💫

I often get asked: “Why do you do a detox?”

Firstly, for me, it’s an experiment — a chance to see how my body reacts when I take certain things away. As I work with the body every day, I believe I need to keep learning, exploring and trying new things too — just like all of you.

As most of you know, the hardest part for me this time was coffee! ☕️

I had to get creative and find new ways of enjoying that ritual of sitting down with a nice, hot drink.

And this is what I came up with… 👇

My go-to alternatives have been Dandy Blend with almond milk — or oat milk if you like it a little frothier. ☕️

I also came up with my own chai blend, because many of the bought chai mixes contain black tea too.

Mine is simply:
✨ Cinnamon
✨ Ginger
✨ Clove
✨ Cardamom
✨ A little carob powder for some natural sweetness

So, what have I learnt so far?

My cravings are gone, I’m definitely a nicer person 😂, and my moods feel much more balanced. I have more energy throughout the day and I’m sleeping better.

And the biggest proof? My family has noticed the difference (not sure about my clients) 😦😂

Maybe there’s something to this detox after all… 😉

Let me know if you want recipe for the chai mix

I decided to do a 28-day detox, which means clean eating with no coffee, alcohol, gluten, dairy, or refined sugar.

Phew… it’s been quite a roller coaster! I’ve suffered from headaches, heavy legs, and an aching body—so much so that running wasn’t enjoyable anymore.

Today is day 10, and I’m finally feeling better. My run felt normal again - phew!

The hardest part has been giving up coffee 😬

This came as a total surprise as I have been drinking 2 cups of coffee (some days more) over years. Never really felt a caffeine hit or thought I suffered because of it. So my body reaction to coming off the coffee totally surprised me. Let’s see how I get on and what I will do with this information-I’ll keep you updated.

Taking it one day at a time and learning a lot along the way. 💪✨

What have you been giving up recently?

And here is another reason to join at 6 am
it is often colder at 9 am (or it feels colder) 😂

Brrr… what a way to start the day! ❄️ -3°C this morning.

There were so many reasons to stay in bed… 😂

But there were even more reasons to show up:

• A stunning winter sunrise.
• Fresh air that wakes you up.
• A workout that leaves you feeling alive.
• Plenty of laughs with great people.
• A boost of energy for the rest of the day.
• A sense of pride because you did something hard.
• Stronger muscles, a stronger mind.
• Building consistency, one workout at a time.
• Looking after your future self.
• Being part of an amazing community

The hardest part is often getting out the door. After that, you’re always glad you came 😎.

Who is joining us next time?

Brrr - a very cold morning to exercise outdoors 😬

But all my ladies turned up - nothing will hold them back in life 👍🏻

And yes - they did warm up

Did you know that getting physically stronger also builds mental strength? The resilience you build in training helps you tackle life’s challenges with more confidence.

Term 3 is my favourite time of year. 😊

Come and join us this term. Let’s get stronger together. 💪🌿

For the last two weeks, I stepped away from my normal routine.

I didn't teach a single class, go for a run, or even pick up a dumbbell. Instead, I challenged myself in different ways—I went snorkelling, improved my kitesurfing, went horse riding, and even tackled a zipline.

It reminded me that movement doesn't always have to look like a workout. Trying new experiences, exploring new places, and simply having fun can be just as rewarding.

Taking a break from the busyness of everyday life gave me the chance to reset, gain a fresh perspective, and think about how I want to move forward.

Rest isn't falling behind—it's creating space to come back with more energy, fresh ideas, and renewed motivation.

I'm excited to get back to my classes, but I'm also bringing home a reminder that life is about more than ticking off workouts. Sometimes the biggest growth happens when we step outside our usual routine.

What's something new you've tried recently?

All classes are back to normal from today 💪

❤️

Beautiful day up in the mountains today 😊

Perfect winters day
☀️❄️

It has been a very busy term 😊

That’s why it’s even more special to sneak away with the family

Rainy on the way up - but beautiful and picturesque the next day
