Frequently Asked Questions

We have an initial 24-week coaching commitment-why? Because habit change takes time, long-term results aren’t achieved and maintained in 12 weeks. Most of our clients are with us for 12 months+ as we cycle through phases (foundations, fat loss, build, maintain).

This is coaching, not a program where you are left on your own with a set program and meal plan to figure things out. If things aren’t moving as we expect, we problem-solve and get you on the path to success. You can’t fail with coaching! As long as you show up, check in weekly, and are honest with yourself and your coach, you’ll succeed.

100% tailored to you. Generally, the sweet spot for most of our clients is 4 days a week in the gym. Some are training for 3 days. None of our clients train more than that in the gym.

Yes, but if you have a very good set-up with plenty of weights. Your body will only change through progressive overload. So body weight and banded workouts won’t cut it.

Yes both. We will set your individual calorie and macro targets for your goals and provide meal plan examples tailored to your goals and food preferences. Lots of nutrition coaching will be provided so you know what YOU need for your body.

Weekly via a comprehensive check-in form delivered via our training app. We want to know EVERYTHING. Menstrual cycle tracking, body weight data, food tracking, wins, struggles, questions, general mood and well-being. Each week, your coach will review all this and send back a video check-in with an in-depth assessment and action plan for the coming week. The weekly check-ins are mandatory; this is where we coach you. Even if you think you've had a bad week, still check in because this is where breakthroughs happen.

Each month, you have an opportunity to book a video catch-up check-in. Instead of the video feedback, we get to jump on a call and see each other, ask questions, problem solve, plan for events coming up or adjust the roadmap. 

Depending on the severity of the injury, yes. I can work closely with your physio/chiro to tailor the training program to work around the injury and assist in rehab. If you aren’t working with a practitioner yet, I can help you find one so we have the right team behind you to get you back to lifting pain-free. 

Yes. If it is a medically diagnosed restriction or health condition, then we need to work with you, a dietician/nutritionist. Outside of this, we can help you with your nutrition to find what works/ doesn’t work for you. To ensure your gut is happy, hormones are healthy, and your body is working as it should to get the results you want.

You’d be surprised at how often we hear this. Whilst we do coach clients to stage and compete in bodybuilding shows, we also coach women who just want to look like they lift, have more muscle, be fit healthy and confident and well …could compete if they wanted to. The process for both of these is the same when it comes to training. The only difference is the level of dieting required to get in shape to compete and another level of discipline.

We have a WhatsApp community group for our clients where you can interact with the other ladies, share your weekly wins on a Wednesday, and reach out for guidance and support. There are subgroups within the community, too. You can message your coach via the chat function in the app, as well as leave comments on the training program.

I can help you navigate the conversation with a menopause specialist GP or your regular GP. What we can do together is track and monitor your symptoms, try to improve these through lifestyle interventions like sleep habits, stress management, nutrition quality and resistance training. Then you have the data to get the right help with managing this next phase of life.

I have had many clients come to me from CrossFit. What we’ve found is that a hybrid approach to training works well. Too much HIIT, AMRAPS, METCON’s, WODs do not help the 40yr+ body. You need more customised strength training (glutes/hamstrings), more recovery days and a sprinkle of the METCON’s. I know it’s a fantastic community, and it’s about finding the sweet spot with how you want to look, train and continue doing for life. So we work with this and make sure you are fueling appropriately and recovering appropriately.
