A Hand Held Program Designed For Real Women

All I ever wanted was a fitness program that helps me to look good, get fit, actually BE healthy, and of course, maintain it long term.

I'm going to get real with you, being a trainer and coach was never a part of the plan. I got into this because I wanted what most women do - to look and feel my best! I wanted a toned, fit, admirable body that I earned and deserved. I wanted to be able to look in the mirror and be proud, confident, and comfortable in my body.

So I started going to the gym. I read fitness magazines, researched articles on how to train, googled what I should eat, I spent hours, days and weeks looking into all the hows, whats, whens, and whys. To my disappointment I ended up more confused, lost, and hopeless than before. There was a major missing link, I couldn't find the right information to help me achieve my goals.

I decided to join an online transformation challenge, where a coach would tell me exactly what to do.

And everything changed... for a while.

I got amazing results following my coaches program. In 12 weeks I had lost a ton of weight, reduced my cellulite and flabby skin, I had tone lines all over and felt amazing.

I won't lie, it was tough! The program was very strict. I ate the same foods day in and day out for 12 weeks (living for the one cheat meal in between). I was working out in the gym for an hour plus a day, 6 days a week, and following the same program for a 4 to 6 week period.

It was great at first but I got bored and over it really quickly, I still wanted to be fit and healthy but I wasn't enjoying the process.

I felt restricted in social situations, cut off from everyone around me, and kind of alone. I was following a plan designed for a Bikini fitness athlete and while these programs are highly effective, if you don't plan on getting on stage it's simply not worth the effort. I knew that there had to be a better way for me to stay fit, healthy, and in-shape without the rigidity, time, and cost that comes with this style of programming.

I knew what I was looking for, but it would take some time (just a couple years give or take) to figure it out.

I was so passionate about finding this solution, along with health and fitness as a whole that I become a trainer & coach in the process.

By 2016 I started testing approaches I was working on and THEY GOT RESULTS! My clients were doing different workouts every day, no more boredom (what a relief) and the results spoke for themselves. Seriously, I'll toot my own horn here because I found a way to do a different workout every day while getting stronger, fitter, and more toned.

I've figured it out (I thought). My clients got amazing results (tick), got to do a different workout with me instructing them every day (tick), did it with a whole group of people on the same mission as them - super motivational (tick), and followed a semi-rigid, rather strict diet (massive cross box sound effect going off right about now).

Nutrition is a major component and it needs to be simple, flexible, but also relative to "normal" people.

Every approach I used with my clients I tried and tested myself first. I got amazing results, so did my clients, but as soon as motivation dipped, and as soon as life got a bit messy, everything was lost.

The worst part of it all is how you feel like such a failure. You look back at how well you did and compare it to where you are and the disappointment is devastating. I bumped into an old client at Dischem during Covid and she was almost trying to hide from me. She didn't want me to see how much weight she had gained and my heart was broken! Broken that she felt this way and broken knowing what it's like to be in her shoes.

So I got to work on developing a system that works with your life and not against it.

I'm sure that like me, you've gone through different phases. Phases where you're super motivated, hyper focused, and extremely discipled. You're working out every day, eating only the best foods and feeling amazing. Then something happens. Pressure at work consumes you, emotional trauma disables you, financial stress burdens you, SOMETHING throws a spanner in the works and you're back to square one. 

But... What if there was a way to keep your momentum no matter what phase you're in?

Developing a system that allows for total flexibility while also putting you in total control has been my biggest challenge. I had to do it wrong so many times to finally get it right.

We've thrown limiting and restrictive diets out the window. We've designed a training structure that allows you to give YOUR best, no matter what phase of life you're in. We've found a way of going about nutrition that is simple, totally customisable, and also educates you so that you are the one in control, you are the one making the decisions. We've brought together a group of amazing women on the same mission who motivate and inspire us and each other. But, there's one more component that was needed, something that had been lacking for years in my journey as a trainer & coach...

To truly be able to coach and guide your experience, your trainer needs to know what you're up to. How challenging are you finding the workouts? What are you eating at every meal? Have you gone through the nutritional resource I sent? Are you doing the daily habits we set in your coaching call?

The more I know, the more I can guide, advise, and offer of myself as your Trainer and Coach. Everything I've developed till this point and everything I will create from here is all based on YOU, the client. And it's thanks to every client that has crossed my path till now that I can finally offer my clients what I've always strived for...

The backbone of Studio Live PRO is the Training App where your entire program is housed. It's where you will find everything scheduled by your Coach and gives your Coach a full view of what you're up to from anywhere.

If the App is the backbone, then our Resource Vault is the brain, and the newest addition to Fitness Mag Studio!

The difference between what we're offering here and what you'll find everywhere else is the human aspect. We won't simply give you workouts, a set diet, and expect your to run with it on your own. Studio Live PRO is a personalised coaching experience where your Trainer is with you every step of the way.

We've tried every method of delivering programs and have learnt that the only way to truly impact someone's life long term, and help them build and develop a healthy lifestyle they can maintain is to be a part of the process all the way.

The journey is personalised to each individual member. Your Coach will be upfront with you and set realistic expectations based on where you're starting from and how aggressively you want to move forward. As your journey progresses your coach will advise when it's the right time to make your program more manageable or more aggressive based on your personal process.

Of course! Some members get a handle of things quickly and are able to easily manage on their own without the additional guidance and support. In this case you might choose to downgrade to the Studio Live membership that focuses just on workouts, or cancel and continue on your own. However, many PRO members stick with their membership because we're always adding new resources, educational material, and guides that allow you to consistently grow and learn more about health & fitness, and yourself. A lot of women also find that having the support and guidance that comes with coaching is what keeps them grounded when life gets messy. 

It's taken a decade of trial and error to finally be able to offer a service that is the best possible solution I can give to my members and I look forward to sharing it with you!
