I want to address something that I’ve seen time and time again with clients and prospective clients... I will have someone come to me wanting to lose a stone or two. I’ll start to ask questions about diet and lifestyle. You might be surprised to know that the MAJORITY of them report essentially a solid diet or undereating. But if this was the case (in most situations), body fat loss would be the natural result of a great diet or undereating. But here’s what I’ve come to disco

Between social media and celebrities, people today have pretty skewed notions of what a “perfect” body actually is, so I want to share my thoughts on this today. The Perfect Body is NOT… Ripped and free of fat Flawless in every way Young or youthful The Perfect Body IS… Healthy One that allows you do to all of the incredible things in life you desire to do One that makes you feel confident and proud Basically, the perfect body is not defined by society but defined by YOU.

I’ve talked to so many people over the years that just want the perfect plan. They think if they know exactly what exercises to do and what foods to eat, all of their body/fitness woes will be resolved. But deep down, I think we all know that’s not the truth. So, what should you really focus on in terms of your mindset to ensure success? It’s literally about training yourself to show up every day and not quit. If it sounds counterintuitive, it’s because it kind of is. We all

We all have hopes, dreams, and goals that light a fire in us with moments of inspiration. I’ve felt it so many times across areas of my life, and I know you have too. I hear this A LOT when it comes to fitness goals and people whose desire is to get in amazing shape. It’s like they set the intention, feel the fire, but it very quickly fizzles. And I think I know why… It’s because the action isn’t immediate. Let’s look at an example. Susan has thought about dropping 20 pounds

I know you are an absolutely amazing human. You show up powerfully in the world, give so much of yourself, and you’re the best for others that you could possibly be. So, why do we often struggle so much to love ourselves? Seriously, we spend all day taking care of business and forget to acknowledge all that we are and all that we do. We feel not good enough for so many reasons… - Standards placed on us by society we feel we haven’t met - Scars from childhood - Sadness from un

We all know there are times of the year that people are overall more committed to their fitness goals. January goes without saying with New Year’s resolutions. March-April is also an interesting time from my perspective as a fitness professional. It’s the time when those who fell off the resolution wagon begin thinking about getting summer-ready. And as our weather is so hit or miss and we might still be wearing our coats in June, it starts to feel like you’ve got forever to

I don’t know about you but when life gets busy or I’m travelling, I’m not going to dedicate as much time for the gym. So, whether I’m at home in my living room, outside somewhere, or in a hotel room, I like to always have quick workouts in my back pocket. What I’ve created for you today is 3 short workouts that are going to be total burners for your upper body, lower body, core and cardio. Because really, there’s no need to stress yourself with long workouts and finding a gym

This is a short blog post today with an important message. Even fitness pros and athletes lose their way every now and again. We miss workouts. We eat less than optimally. We don’t get nearly enough sleep. But it doesn’t mean we’re failures. It doesn’t mean we can’t pick ourselves up and jump back in at any moment. And the same goes for you, my friend. Whether you’re currently on track or you’ve lost your way, you can get it all back. You can recreate that fit and healthy per
