I’ve been
where you are.
I found my way.

I’d been overweight for much of my life, even while playing competitive sport. At 21, my confidence was low, and a diagnosis of hypertension made me take my health seriously.

I decided to change. I learnt what I could online, trained almost every day and tracked everything I ate. I lost 15kg from my heaviest point.

Every missed workout or calorie target felt like failure. Sometimes I’d let one missed session turn into a whole week. Other times I’d try to make up for it with extra cardio or more food restriction.

I couldn’t enjoy meals or time with people I loved. Fitness was taking over my life. Eventually, I burned out and regained the weight I’d lost, plus another 3kg.

My confidence fell again. I knew that if I tried another time, something about the approach had to change.

This time, I focused on finding the minimum effective approach. I wanted to look better, feel better and move better—not become a bodybuilder or make fitness my second career.

I started enjoying training and nutrition again, while still spending time with my loved ones. The goal became consistency, not a perfect week.

That’s what I now help my clients find: their own minimum effective approach, built around their lives.
