I've learned lessons the hard way, so you don't have to

After 12 years in the fitness industry, I've seen and done it all.

I've done fad and restrictive diets, 700 calories and 3 hours of training per day, exercise and nutrition as punishment, restrictive diets, hating and starving my body, thinking that if my body just looked better, I would be happy. 
I became a coach so that I could prevent other people from making the same mistake with their mindset and their physique.

I then became, and still am, enamoured with the idea of what my body can DO, instead of what it looks like. 
In the process I lifted far too heavy with poor form and injured my shoulder and my back multiple times. 
So I spent thousands of dollars on my education in order to understand how to prevent those injuries recurring.

I used to have clients come in to sessions who had sore knees, joints and other ongoing niggles that at the time, I didn't know how to help reduce or solve. Instead of understanding anatomy, biomechanics and postural issues, I would just change the exercise. 
So I upskilled and learnt more about how the body functions optimally, and I now know how to reduce my clients pain.

We learn by making mistakes, and then changing our approach

Strength is not just physical. It's a state of mind. 
It's the ability to do things on a daily basis no matter how motivated you are.

Strength is about being confident, comfortable within yourself and knowing what you want in life.

It's knowing that no matter what gets in your way, no matter how long it takes, no matter what you challenges you will face, no matter how many times you fall - you will get up again and you will get there.
