Classes have been quiet this week, silly season is in full swing! Everyone is rushing from one place to the other and with all the commitments and expectations it’s no wonder getting a workout in gets put on the back burner. December is always pretty quiet for me...
Elizabeth Making A Lifestyle Shift
The reason I originally joined, vs why I’m here today are 2 different things. When I joined, I was aspiring for leadership roles at work, I had weight to lose, so it was about being at peak performance at work. I was constantly travelling for work, and I was...
No One Is Going To Sort It For You
I was lucky enough to catch up with a group of girlfriends this weekend, share some cheese and wine, and of course lots and lots of conversation. One of the topics among many that comes up whenever I’m with other friends who are also working mums is - the stress of...
My Biggest Training Mistakes
One of my big personal (and professional) values is honesty. So I think it’s important to admit mistakes. It’s part of the process and it’s part of moving forward, in my opinion, in any area of life. It also helps to let go of notions and ideas that no longer serve...

Tanika Taking It On And Growing Stronger Every Day
Meet Tanika, one of my earliest Personal Training (PT) clients *back in the day when I still had my L plates on 😬*, and she’s stuck around. Yet another person experiencing some setbacks this year through no fault of her own, but I find her resilience and focus on...
How Much Exercise Should I Do?
How many times a week should I work out? How much is too much? How much to reach my goals? What is the right kind of exercise to do? How many reps? How much weight? These are questions I’m asked on a daily basis, and fair call. The answer as always is, “it...
