Snowdon Sky Race 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿⛰️

Really happy with this one. A smooth race from start to finish.

5th female | 25th overall 🥳

I was quite anxious beforehand about how my back would hold up, so I eased into the start. As it continued to feel good, I gained confidence and settled into the race.

Really pleased with the time, placing and how I raced. Strong legs, a happy back and most importantly I really enjoyed it!

What a fantastic course. A huge thank you to the organisers and volunteers, what a great day! 👏🏼

Because, realistically, you could probably put together a couple of OK strength sessions by yourself.

You can use AI.
You can follow one of the million programmes out there.
You can lift weights at home or at your local gym.

So why do my clients keep coming back week after week?

Because it’s about so much more than the exercises.

It’s about having a coach who knows you.

Someone who understands your abilities, your goals and what’s appropriate for you.

Someone who knows when to push you a little harder — and when to tell you to ease off.

It’s having a structured, progressive programme so you don’t have to constantly wonder:

“What should I do today?”🤔

It’s knowing that each session has a purpose and that you’re working towards becoming stronger and more capable you!

It’s accountability.
Having a session booked.
Knowing someone is expecting you.
And having someone notice when you’re not there.

It’s confidence.
Knowing you’re moving well, lifting safely and gradually challenging yourself.

And then there’s the community 💜
The encouragement.
The laughs.
The conversations.
The person next to you cheering you on when you’re working hard.

Because sometimes, you don’t need more motivation.

You just need somewhere you want to turn up to.

Having a coach, a plan and a community around you can make showing up, working hard and staying consistent so much easier.

And, most importantly, so much more enjoyable.

Come on ladies why do you love your training at Embrace Fitness? 🤗💪🏼💜

YOUR STRENGTH IS YOUR FREEDOM.

Train for the life you want to keep living.

If you’re not progressively strength training every week, honestly… why not? 🤷🏼‍♀️

And I don’t mean because you want bigger muscles or to look stronger.

I mean because one day, your strength will determine your freedom.

Think about it.

Being able to:
→ Get up off the floor without thinking twice
→ Carry your shopping
→ Climb a flight of stairs
→ Pick something up
→ Get in and out of a chair 🚽
→ Keep travelling, hiking, playing and doing the things you love
→ Live independently for as long as possible

These things feel effortless when you’re strong.

Train for the body you want to have later in life — not just the body you want today.

So, be honest…

Are you actually doing something each week to build your strength?

If not, this is your sign. 👀

Train like your independence depends on it — because it really does.

One of the biggest mistakes I see with strength training is people changing exercises to often before they’ve actually given themselves enough time to progress.

You don’t need frequent new exercises to make progress 🙅🏼‍♀️

You need consistency + progression overtime 👌🏼

And progressive overload doesn’t always mean adding more weight.

You can progress by:
• Adding reps or sets ➕
• Increasing your range of motion ⬇️
• Controlled slow reps 😮‍💨
• Adding a pause 🔥
• Reducing rest period ⏳
• Progressing to a harder variation ⏭️

The goal is to make sure you’re actually getting what you need from your training and maximising your time and effort in the gym.

Doing different exercises every week because you are bored or just for the sake of doing something different isn’t where it’s at 🙅🏼‍♀️

But that doesn’t mean there’s no room for variety.

At Embrace Fitness, we keep our main exercises consistent over a set period of time. This allows us to properly track progress and build progression 🥳

Our accessory movements might change slightly to keep things interesting.

For example:

WEEK 1
1¼ rep dumbbell chest press

WEEK 2
Pause dumbbell chest press — 2-second hold at the bottom

WEEK 3
Alternating dumbbell chest press

The main focus stays the same, but we can still add a little variety and fun to training.

Because yes, enjoying your training matters too.

If you enjoy your sessions, see and feel your strength improving you’re much more likely to keep showing up.

And ultimately…

Consistency is what gets you results 💪🏼

St Sunday Sky Race, my first SkyRace! ⛰️🏃🏼‍♀️🥉

And my first race back since my disc injury early last year.

Recovery wasn’t quick, it wasn’t linear, and it took a lot of persistence, patience, and determination.

It’s been a slow and steady rebuild, one step at a time.

To stand on a start line fit and healthy was something I didn’t take for granted. To cross the finish line feeling strong, smiling, and as 3rd female reminded me just how far I’ve come.

A small flare-up a couple of days after the race was a reminder that recovery isn’t always a straight line, even when things are going well. Setbacks are just part of the journey and I’m choosing to see this as another opportunity to listen, learn, and build more resilience.

The biggest thing I’m taking away from this is that I’ve already achieved something I once wondered if I’d ever do again: training consistently week after week having great fun, feeling strong, returning to racing, and completing a technical SkyRace.

Progress isn’t about never having setbacks. It’s about building the capacity to handle them, trusting the process, and learning how to adapt along the way.

With extra rest and recovery I’m feeling some good improvements. I’m hoping to get back to stacking more great training on top of this incredible experience and already looking forward to the next mountain adventure ⛰️🏃🏼‍♀️

Why I started Embrace Fitness 💜

I’ve always had a passion for health and fitness.

As I became a more regular gym user I started noticing something that made me feel sad.

I saw many women glued to the cardio machines or tucked away in the corner quietly doing their body weight exercises.

When I spoke to them, I kept hearing similar things…

“I don’t feel comfortable in the weights area.”

“I don’t feel confident using the equipment.”

“I feel like I’m taking up space.”

“That’s where the men go.”

That never sat right with me.

Strength training isn’t just for a certain type of person. It’s for every woman, at every age.

Every woman deserves to walk into the weights area feeling confident.

Every woman deserves to feel strong, capable and empowered in the weights area.

Every woman deserves to know that she belongs there just as much as anyone else.

That’s why I created Embrace Fitness.

A place where women can learn to lift weights safely, build real strength, and gain confidence in a supportive, encouraging environment that they can take into any gym and feel confident!

Because strength training changes so much more than your body.

It changes your mindset.

It changes how you see yourself.

It gives you confidence that carries into every area of your life.

Seeing women go from feeling intimidated by the gym to confidently picking up weights, believing in themselves and discovering just how strong they really are…

That’s why I do what I do 💜

Come and see inside one of my small group personal training sessions 👀

For me, it’s not about cramming as many people into a class as possible.

It’s about knowing every person, building genuine connections, coaching every lift, providing the right exercises for each individual, and making sure everyone is progressing week after week.

You still get the team energy and support of training with others, along with individual coaching throughout. My top values as a PT is making sure everyone feels comfortable, capable, and confident.

Watching this community grow has been one of the best parts of my job. The effort, the laughs, and the way everyone supports each other make every session something I genuinely look forward to.

Thank you to every single one of you for making these sessions what they are. You’re all brilliant. 🤗💜💪🏼

YOUR BONES ARE CRAVING HEAVY LOADS 🦴💪🏼

Not enough people think about building bone.

The truth is, your bones are living tissue. They constantly remodel themselves in response to the stress you place on them.

If that stress is too low…
📉 Bone density gradually declines.

If that stress is high enough…
📈 Your body gets the message to build stronger bones.

That’s why heavy resistance training is one of the most effective ways to maintain and improve bone density.

To get stronger, your skeleton needs progressively challenging loads. Bones adapt to the demands placed on them, if the weight never truly challenges you, your bones have little reason to become stronger.

For most people, those light dumbbells might be a great place to start, but they won’t provide enough stimulus to keep building stronger bones over time.

Progressively increasing the load is what drives adaptation.

The best investment you can make isn’t just for the body you have today …. it’s for the body you’ll rely on decades from now.

Lift with purpose.
Strengthen your bones.
Your future self will thank you.

It’s hard to put into words how proud and happy I am of this space.

It’s so much more than a gym. It’s a place where women come together to get stronger, build confidence, support one another, and realise they’re capable of so much more than they ever imagined.

Every detail has been thought through and it’s exactly what I dreamed of creating when I started back in 2018. Seeing it captured so beautifully reminds me just how far this little business has come 🥲 you are awesome!

To every woman who has walked through these doors, trusted me, encouraged one another, and helped make this place what it is… thank you 💜🙏🏼

I feel incredibly lucky to be surrounded by such strong, kind, inspiring, and supportive women.

You are what makes this place so special, and I couldn’t ask for a better community 💫✨
