Really impressed with Laona’s progress recently 🤩💪🏼 @laonaallan . . . Laona started working with me in June, and she was at this point terrified to step into the gym. She had no experience with weight training, and I’m sure she will agree when I say that we put in a lot of the tough and uncomfortable work at the start. There were setbacks, there were some tears, and there were eventually small but consistent wins that with time added up to big results! . . . She now lifts three times a week on her own, never skips a session, shows her boyfriend what to do in the gym 🙃🙌🏼, and today was another massive milestone for her on her journey! . . . We started deadlifting with 25kg in June. Lots of work on her form and confidence. Today Laona lifted 70kg for six reps. You should see the legs on this girl; she’s in the process of building a physique that is reflective of her unstoppable work ethic. In our sessions she will never say no when I suggest we try a heavier load, and she chases after log book progress like her life depends on it. . . . Laona has lost 5kg in the past four months, and put on a hell of a lot of muscle mass. In my eyes she’s become a different person mentally also. She’s so confident, driven and enthusiastic in the gym, and I am so, so proud of her 😍 . . . There’s so much more to come in the months ahead, I can’t wait to see her progress even further! . . .

There’s nothing the Norwegian mountains can’t fix 🏔☀️💆🏻‍♀️ . . . Lovely Saturday hiking to some of my favourite views with mum 🥰 . . . Norway is and will always be my favourite country in the world 🇳🇴🗺 Simply nothing compares to the breathtaking and diverse nature up here 🤩 . . . Also very proud of my mum for having lost almost 20kg in the past year - she’s become competitive hiking company and I was really impressed with her level of fitness today compared with only a few months back! It’s never too late to start living a healthier and fitter lifestyle 🤓🙌🏼 . . . #norway #mountains #hiking #autumn #sun #nature #mountain #hike #walking #vacation #tourist #jæren #visitnorway #home #happiness #mindfulness #qualitytime #happy #fitness #lifestyle #travel #fit #travelling #health #mindful #view #grateful #views

My amazing online client Amanda from 🇦🇺 smashing her results 🤩🙌🏼 @manda._.g . . . Amanda and I started working together in July, and I have rarely seen such determination and relentless graft. Results like these in 12 weeks don’t come easy. She’s worked incredibly hard to be where she is right now, and please keep reading cause her effort is really impressive! . . . Amanda works a taxing job that tends to take over her life. An example: To find time to get her steps in, she built her work station around her treadmill and walks for hours while she works from home at night. Her approach: Where there is a will, there must be a way! . . . Amanda is a great lifter, her form is excellent, she is getting brutally strong, and her training intensity is also impressive. Her compound lifts are looking brilliant, and her numbers are progressing slowly but steadily 💪🏼 . . . We have three whole body lifting days, calories sit around 1300-1500 average per week, we have 100-200mins weekly cardio, and a step goal of 10-15.000 steps daily. Amanda sticks to these targets, which still allow for a balanced lifestyle. . . . In the past 12 weeks Amanda has been ill and knocked out with the cold, eaten off plan for nights away and social occasions, allowed herself the odd snack, but what drove her progress is her brutal consistency, accountability, and ability to get back to the plan asap. We are constantly in touch, and I always know how her week is going and what her struggles and wins are. . . . I really love working with her because she is extremely busy and yet smashing her weekly targets, and she deserves all respect for that. Amanda is an example for what can be achieved when you cut the crap, get rid of your excuses, and simply get to work. . . . Fab effort so far Manda, I’m super, super proud of you and your ability to give each obstacle the middle finger up 👊🏼 Keep smashing it - can’t wait for the months ahead! 🤩🥳 . . . #bodytransformation #progress #girlswholift #coach #change #strongwomen #lifting #weightloss #positivevibes #pt #training #lifting #gym #nutrition #health #patience #consistency #strong #dundee #puregym #personaltrainer #strength

Monday reminder that mindset is a choice 💆🏻‍♀️ Choose gratitude ☀️ . . . No matter the situation, there will always be things to be grateful for. Even just simple things like... . . . Kind people. . . . Good food. . . . Nice weather. . . . A good sleep. . . . A strong training session. . . . You can’t change what’s happened, but you can train your mind to recognise positive patterns, which makes you a significantly more pleasant human to be around. For yourself and for others. Try it out ✌🏼 . . . #mindfulness #gratitude #monday #mindset #motivation #training #fitness #friends #travel #pt #coach #grateful #lifequotes #happiness #family #complaints #travelling #happy #lifestyle #gym #workout #personaltrainer #life

Fact: Not everyone understands why you train, and that’s ok 👌🏼 . . . People are quick to judge, and call ‘us’ self-absorbed, selfish, egocentric and narcissistic for working out. . . . No matter how full on life is, we make time to train. We prioritise training over things that matter more to them, and less to us. . . . Example: We attend 6am training, but skive 6pm work drinks. We squeeze a quick workout in before a job interview, exam or on an otherwise emotionally demanding day, when they wouldn’t even think of training. . . . What people often get wrong here is the ‘why’. I know that for some, the main purpose of training and eating well is to achieve a physique to be proud of. And that is totally fair! It’s why most people turn to the gym initially. . . . However, the majority of people that I know that have accumulated a fair training age train because of one (or all) of the following reasons: . . . A positive start to the day to cope with a demanding work or home life. . . . A way of being social, and seeing and making friends. . . . To be alone with themselves to process thoughts and feelings. . . . To increase feelings of self-esteem and self-worth, and to provide a sense of achievement which may otherwise be lacking in their every day routine. . . . To cope with and process whatever adversities life keeps throwing in their face in a socially acceptable manner. . . . So, next time someone asks if you really need to go to that gym, the answer will always be yes 💪🏼 . . . Summary: Most people are just in the gym to cope and be happy - and I think that is an important message that the world hasn’t 100% processed yet 🌚 We’re not here cause we really must get another biceps curl in before that board meeting 🙄 . . . Happy Sunday haha 😁💁🏻‍♀️ . . . . #happiness #physique #gym #training #personaltrainer #pt #gymlife #bodybuilding #girlswholift #headspace #mindfulness #puregym #coach #physique #bodytransformation #weightloss #progress #mentalhealth #fit #girlswholift #lifting #fitness #lifestyle #fitgirls

Incredibly proud of Ruth - 10kg lost since March 👊🏼🔥 @ruth__xo . . . Ruth has been consistent and patient in her approach, has developed a great relationship with food, and moved from counting calories and macros to intuitive eating. . . . Her progress has not stalled since, the contrary in fact. She eats when she is hungry, stops when she is full, gets protein in regularly, and sticks to a few rules - such as carbs and protein before and after her lifting sessions. . . . It doesn’t always take max control and restriction to achieve progress - in Ruth’s case I provide continuous education, motivate her to stay on track, and help her adapt her training to a number of health issues. . . . I’m incredibly fond of Ruth and so proud to be part of her journey 🥰🙌🏼 . . . #bodytransformation #progress #girlswholift #coach #change #strongwomen #lifting #weightloss #positivevibes #pt #training #lifting #gym #nutrition #health #patience #consistency #strong #dundee #puregym #personaltrainer

Never forget who raised you to become the person you are today ❤️ . . . My heart is so full of love and appreciation 🙏🏻
