Well it’s good to know I’m not ONLY good for the chat 😝.
A huge thank you 🫶 to these lovely clients for taking their time to share a few thoughts on our PT sessions.
If you’d like to join me for fitness, fun and a good chat, I have a couple of spaces opening up from October onwards 💪✨.

💜 I was wondering what to do with this stunning purple cauliflower…
So I made this mid-week masterpiece and just wanted to show it off 🤩
1. Make some baba ganoush:
Half and aubergine, criss cross the flesh and roast in the oven for around 30 mins.
When cooked, scoop out the flesh and blend along with some lemon juice, tahini, cumin and parsley.
2. At the same time, roast some beetroot and that purple beauty (or a regular cauli).
3. Add some scrunched kale for the last 5 mins.
4. Griddle 1 small onion and a sliced yellow (or regular) courgette.
5. Cook some spelt (or another nutritious whole grain).
6. Dry fry some pecans.
7. Lay your baba ganoush onto a serving platter, tip on the cooked spelt, then the kale and vegetables. Finally sprinkle some fresh chopped coriander, crumbled feta and the pecan nuts.
To a large extent, we have a choice about what we want for our future ✨.
But it’s an investment we have to make early on.
It takes commitment, dedication and consistency 💪 .
🚶♀️Movement, 🏋️♀️ exercise, 🥗 good food, 💦 hydration, 😴 sleep and rest.
The habits you build today will shape the way you live tomorrow.
Good choices made now will give you the best chance of achieving longer, stronger AND healthier life 💚.
It feels like a good time to talk about electrolytes 🔥⚡️
Electrolytes are necessary minerals we need for good biological function. And unless you are eating a 100% unprocessed, salt free diet, it is likely you are getting enough electrolytes in your diet.
However, if you are vomiting 🤮 , have diarrhoea 💩, are exercising for more than 90 minutes, or sweating profusely 🥵 , it may be a good idea to add some electrolytes into your dietary intake.
But you don’t need to buy expensive drinks. If you want to know exact requirements for your activity and size then feel free to look up formulas, but you could easily benefit from simply adding a small amount of salt and a bit of sugar to a glass of water 💦
And don’t forget that varied, natural, wholefood diet 🍆🍑🍌🍊🍓🍒🥑🥒🥔🌽🥦🍅🥜🍐🍋🟩🫐🍄🟫🧅🫚🧄🫒🌶️🍠🫑🫛🥬
(The purple head?? Only a cold shower will fix that!!)

Wondering how to top up your fibre intake? 🌱🥬🍃 🥗 💚
Most people are seriously low on their recommended fibre intake, but with so many health and weight management benefits (reduction in colon cancer risk for 1!), we should all be making a concerted effort to load up on the good stuff.
The good news is, you don’t have to completely change what you do, just think of easy ways you can get more out of your meals:
Like this simple bean chilli recipe of:
Onion
Garlic
Sweet potato
Tomato puree
Paprika
Cumin
Chipotle
Tinned tomatoes
Black beans
Where I skipped the recommended white rice and instead, I really boosted the nutrient profile by adding:
Carrots
Red pepper
Mushrooms
Fresh tomatoes
Kidney beans
Grated courgette
Spinach
Fresh coriander
And some avocado, a sprinkle of cheese and jalapeñoss to boot!
I make that 14 different plants (plus protein and healthy fats), not including the spices, so you’re well on your way to 30 plants a week in just 1 meal 🌟. And it was delicious 😋
We really did have an amazing time on our last PT Certification Course 💪✨
The support, encouragement and teamwork throughout the course was incredible - everyone helping each other every step of the way 🙌❤️
Even if you haven’t studied for a while, even if you’re not the youngest, the fittest, or the most knowledgeable person in the gym, please don’t let that hold you back. A PT course can absolutely still be for you 💯
Lisa, you were fantastic 🌟 I’m so proud of everything you achieved, and I’m delighted you enjoyed the journey. I genuinely loved being a part of it and watching your confidence grow 😊👏
🚨 I now have just 1 PLACE LEFT on my next course starting 26th June 🚨
If you’ve been thinking about taking the next step towards becoming a Personal Trainer, now’s the time! Get in touch ASAP to secure your place 📩🔥
I don’t normally play the age card because it’s just number right? It’s about how you feel 🤩.
BUT even I can’t deny that certain things get little bit harder (physically and mentally - like words for example!!) as we age.
So I’m pretty proud to say that 3 days before my 48th birthday I smashed out my 3rd solo .dozen with not quite a PB (8s off, which I’m blaming on the head wind!), but still a respectable 6th place female and 1st in age category 🏆.
Aging well isn’t about hiding or denying how old you are (yes I’m still embracing the wrinkles, sagging and grey!), but about keeping your body and mind fit and strong for as long as possible 💪💪💪💪.
If you haven’t been to a FRF retreat yet, you’re missing out. BUT there’s still chance to join us this year…
At FRF Retreats we don’t JUST do fitness, OR yoga, OR nutrition. We do it ALL AND MORE 🌟.
From Friday afternoon to Sunday lunchtime, we cram in workouts (suitable for all levels), yoga for everyone, meditation, education, massage (for a small extra charge).
PLUS delicious food, gorgeous surroundings, nature 🌱, private lake swimming (or canoeing/paddle boarding).
AND plenty of fun, friendship and relaxation.
Everything is optional - you can join in everything… or nothing. The weekend is entirely yours 💫
The best bit is the time to step away from daily life and reconnect with yourself and spend time with some lovely people.
This October we’re heading to a lovely dedicated retreat venue in the heart of the Welsh countryside (around 2.5 hours from Manchester).
Alongside our private lake, dedicated workout/yoga space, lovely indoor and outdoor communal areas, we are delighted to be joined by:
, health psychologist specialising in lasting behaviour change, who will be delivering workshops on ‘Reconnecting with Purpose’ and ‘Resetting your Nervous System’ - both of which are relevant for weight management and lifestyle. [Personally I can’t wait for this brand-new addition to our retreats.]
who will once again be guiding us through some gentle yoga and mediation and offering Thai massage and myofacial release treatments.
We have just 🌟2 rooms remaining 🌟 with both shared and solo occupancy options.
AND it’s not just for women - this year we’re letting the men in too 😜 We already have a few joining the gang!
Head over to or DM to enquire/book.
