I get it. I understand how much easier it is to pay someone to do a workout program for you.
After all, you're busy, you're tired, + maybe you don't even care about learning how to do it yourself? There's SO much on your plate, and getting to the gym itself is a mission, so why add more on to your plate...
Well, my friend - here's why:
1. You get the HOW, but not the WHY
When you understand the WHY behind your sets, reps, weight, rest time and exercises - it gives you the motivation + discipline to see it through + complete your workout, properly.
2. In the end, you waste MORE time + %
*insert time wasted
By learning how to DIY your plans, not only do you create a workout that YOU find fun, but you end up saving time because you do what you know, you cater the plan to what you have available to you and you don't have to go back and forth emailing your coach to figure things out.
Did I mention you can learn how to do it yourself as well as learn proper form, in as little as 60 minutes a week (more on this to come)?
3. And then there’s the fact that your goals are not always going to be the same
Learning how to lose weight is totally different to learning how to build muscle. Training to get fit is also different to training to get strong. And I haven’t even mentioned nutrition yet.
So just when you think you're getting a hang of it, your priorities will likely change and you're back at square one having to relearn the whole process all over again - welcome overwhelm, confusion and more time.
Amateur 2 Athlete, or A2A for short - teaches you how to become your own personal trainer so you can walk into the gym with confidence, knowing exactly what to do and how to do, to reach your goals.
A2A is a 6 week framework that filters out all the fluff and rubbish that’s out there on the internet, and breaks down the important stuff you need to know to lift with proper form and reach your goals.
It’s so simple that even if you’re totally new to the gym, you will finish the course with your own workout plan you wrote yourself + feel well equipped to reach your goals all on your own.
Best of all, it only takes 60 minutes a week to complete. How easy is that?

The sun has inspired me to be energised + productive friends, and it's translated over into my gym workouts too.
Lately my sessions have been quick, efficient + effective + I am already seeing noticeable results (yay!).
Because my workouts have been shorter, it's forced me to plan my workout + organise my schedule. I'm more focused. I'm lifting heavier. I'm getting results.
If you walk out of the gym feeling annoyed at yourself for not having the best possible session - this episode is for you.
Any time I write up a workout program for myself or a client, I include all 6 pieces of the puzzle:
1. I set SMART goals
2. I identify the body type I'm working with
3. I make sure the exercise style I'm programming for is enjoyable for the client
4. I check their schedule, lock in their training days + times + make sure it's realistic to stick to long term
5. I write their workout program including
Each workout is different each day, but the process repeats weekly for 4-6 weeks. Then and only then do I make small changes in their program.
This is the difference between a workout plan that is random + one that gets you massive results.
If you're ready to take your training to the next level + feel like a boss in the gym with perfect form + the knowledge of a professional, join the waitlist for Amateur 2 Athlete: a step-by-step 6 week framework that takes you from doubting your exercise technique + not knowing what to do to lifting weights with perfect form + confidently designing your own workout program in as little as 60 minutes a week!

Our life has been HECTIC the past few months, and because of that I've taken time off the gym.
Honestly, it's been great.
There's been no guilt. I haven't even thought about it. And now that I'm back training, I'm more motivated than ever.
It's not uncommon for me to hear other women sharing how they wish they could train more often but just don't have the time. The funny thing is, these women are already training 3x a week.
If this is you, my hope is that this episode gives you a bit of encouragement knowing that rest days are important too, especially when big life changes pop up.

Who would have thought the girl who pretended to be sick in PE would make her living through being a fitness coach and helping women get better at physical exercise?
I would never believe you if you had told me in 10 years time my career would be in the fitness industry... SO bizarre to me.
Imagine if you had the courage to try new things all the time, especially the things that you want to do but you're scared of doing?
You could potentially fill your days with so much fun and excitement if you found a new hobby or passion, and it's the same idea when it comes to working out.
I spent way too much of my life worrying about others which held me back from becoming the person I was made to be. Thankfully I got over myself and started following my passions and here I am, talking about it today with you.
I hope you enjoy x

hese past few years have been a wild ride, with the c word, and all the changes it made to our world, 2022 has been no different. I’m sure I speak for all of us when I say that everything has gotten super expensive. From fuel to our groceries to the prices of rent and property, its like no one has been able to catch a break no matter what industry you’re in or where you’re from. I’ve even heard that interest rates for mortgages will be sky rocketing very soon.
In all my years of being a fitness coach, I know that dropping your fitness routine is usually one of the first things to go when cash gets tight.
Today I share how you can save money and still get the results you'd see if you continued training with your PT.
Enjoy!
