CITRUS FISH TACOS serves 4

Citrus Fish Tacos - Serves 4

Marinade
Juice squeezed from 2 large oranges
Juice squeezed from 1/2 a lime
3 Tbsp. Olive Oil
1 tsp cumin powder
4 Tilapia or other favourite white fish fillets (cut into 1″ chunks) 150-200g per serve

Wraps
6-8 Cabbage or lettuce leaves
1-2 red capsicums diced
1/2 red onion diced
1 mango diced
1 avocado sliced

Mix the orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, and cumin in a bowl and combine well.

Gently place the pieces of Tilapia into a large Ziploc bag and pour in the juice. Marinade for 2-4 hours in the refrigerator, flipping the bag over about half way through.

Next, heat some coconut oil over a large frypan. When the pan is warm, add the fish and cook for about 4-5 minutes on 1 side, then turn only once, finish cooking on the other side (about 8-9 minutes max. total).

Then, prepare your tacos to your liking, adding the fish, pepper, onion, & mango! (be creative and add anything else you think may taste great on there!) This is an awesome way to eat fish for a change. Make note of fish weight when determining how much you can eat of this meal.

Be generous with extra salad ingredients. Spinach, snow peas, cucumber etc

“To be honest, I never thought I’d see myself going to a gym. It’s only thanks to a great friend of mine who convinced me to try a session back in November 2024 — and now I’m hooked!”

Like many mums, Shelley found her fitness had dropped after having two children.

“I was so frustrated with myself because I couldn’t do what I used to be able to do.”

Her first session left a big impression:

“It was like I’d been there before — so welcoming. My body was buggered afterwards, but it was so worth it. And I’m a very determined person.”

Since then, Shelley has lost 7kg of body fat and gained back her strength.
She’s also made some lifestyle changes that have made a huge difference:

“I don’t have any sugar anymore and it makes me feel heaps better.”

The results show up every day — not just in how she looks and feels, but also at work.

“I feel and look great. Working in the shearing sheds, I can go and go now.”

The community has been a huge part of her journey.

“I love training with all the clients — they’re more like new friendships. I’ve had so many compliments, people saying, ‘You look great, Shell, well done!’”

Her takeaway?

“The gym isn’t just for weight loss and toning — it’s great for your mind, your soul, and social interaction.”

My Workout

Lots of focus on single limb exercises . couple of reasons for that for me personally;

1/ Correct imbalances and stop them from occurring. We're all a bit 'imbalanced' from side to side, but I like to stop big differences occurring.

2/ With Barbell Squats in particular, I always get pain around my sacrum the next day. Even with great technique and no pain at the time this always happens for me. I've resolved that by doing lunges, single leg squats, Bulgarian split squats etc. Still building leg muscle and power, but without the pain later (well I get lots of leg muscle pain - but that's a whole other topic 🙃)

It's important to work with your body, not against it and lots of people have imbalances, weaknesses or other issues that mean certain exercises are not for them.
I have lots of clients who Barbell Squat fine, and lots who use the Safety Bar, Dumbbells or our squat machines instead for various reasons.

Same outcomes (stronger, powerful muscles and full body strength, without the downsides)

The exercises I do in my own workouts are exactly the same ones I give clients - except if they can't do them for above reasons.

I jump into classes when I can, the reason I train by myself is because I'm coaching the classes myself, or the ones I'm not are full already.

DM me to try one of our workouts any time

After some time away from the gym, Danni decided it was time to focus on her health again.

“I’m not really a people person, but I thought it was time to get back and concentrate on me.”

Like many people, she had doubts before starting.

“There are always worries when going to new places. I wondered if people would look at me, if I’d fit in. So I joined the 6 Week Jumpstart Program to try different classes and times to see what worked best.”

Walking in for her first session, she was nervous — but those fears quickly faded.

“As soon as I walked in I felt comfortable. I felt like I was where I was meant to be.”

Through those first six weeks, the encouragement and support made all the difference.

“Everyone was so encouraging — I definitely found my place. Fast forward 6 weeks, I signed up, and now 7 months later everyone still cheers you on. The coaches are brilliant and very supportive.”

The results speak for themselves.

“I feel fantastic. I haven’t lost any weight, but my clothes fit better, I feel stronger, I eat better, I love walking, and I just feel better in myself. I leave with a smile on my face — and I’ve made some beautiful friends.”

Her advice for anyone sitting on the fence:

“Step out of your comfort zone — it might just be the best thing you do for yourself!”

Before joining FitterFaster, Donna had been thinking about it for a while. She was unhappy with her weight, fitness, and lifestyle, and knew she needed to take action. The final push came when Jo reached out after an Easter competition in 2024.

“It was like it was meant to be — I’d been thinking about it but hadn’t taken the final step. That was the push I needed at the exact right time.”

Like many people, Donna worried she might be too slow, too unfit, or not able to keep up. But those fears disappeared almost immediately.

“The environment, the coaches, the clients — it was all so supportive and welcoming. If there was something I couldn’t do, there was always a mod so I could keep moving.”

Her very first session left a huge impression:

“The coach and other clients made me feel so welcome. I immediately felt comfortable and supported, like I’d been coming forever.” After just a couple of sessions, she knew she could do this.

Since then, Donna has lost over 30kg and completely turned her health and lifestyle around.

“I feel like a new person with a totally new lease on life. I’m not only healthier and happier, I’m a better mother and wife. My family benefits from the habits and confidence I’ve gained. Now I walk instead of drive, take the stairs instead of the lift, and make healthier choices every day.”

She loves training alongside like-minded people:

“The friendly banter makes sessions fun with lots of laughs, while still getting the work done. The atmosphere is the best — it makes coming every day so enjoyable.”

The changes haven’t gone unnoticed. “People tell me I’m looking amazing and ask what I’ve been doing — I always say, ‘It’s FitterFaster.’ Some of my friends have even joined me now.”

Donna’s advice for anyone on the fence:

“Go for it — you won’t regret it. FitterFaster is supportive, friendly, and encouraging. The staff and clients make it an enjoyable place to train. FitterFaster is a step that will change your life.”

Andrea joined FitterFaster after spotting a discount coupon for the Jumpstart Program. “I was looking to improve my health and fitness, so I thought, why not!”

Before starting, she sat down with Jo to set goals and complete an assessment. “It gave me some measurable achievements to aim for. I was excited to begin my fitness journey and see results.”

Andrea’s first sessions were during COVID, when FitterFaster launched 45-minute live workouts online. “The at-home sessions felt more achievable to start with, without having to leave home.” That foundation made it easier to build consistency and confidence.

Since then, Andrea has built fitness into her lifestyle. “I’m pleased that I’ve made exercise a bigger part of my life now. Making better food choices has also improved my overall health.”

The changes go beyond physical. “I feel so much stronger now and have a completely different mindset towards exercise, thanks to Jo’s workout plans being both enjoyable and focused.”

She loves the atmosphere in the gym: “Walking into FitterFaster is such a great experience. Everyone is there for the same reason, the coaches are supportive, and the clients are so friendly.”

Even if the changes aren’t as obvious on the outside, Andrea feels them deeply. “I may not have had major outward changes, but I certainly have on the inside — and that feels amazing.”

Her advice to anyone on the fence:
“Jo lives and breathes a wealth of knowledge around health and fitness, and she’s created an amazing culture to support anyone wanting to make lifelong positive changes.”

Client Spotlight: Liv Lanfranchi

“I decided to join FitterFaster as I was feeling very unfit and, like everyone else, wanted to lose weight. For me, starting was the hardest part — but it’s been the absolute best decision. I’m now stronger and fitter than I’ve ever been.

When I first started, I didn’t know what to expect and was very nervous about going on my own. All those worries disappeared quickly because everyone was so warm and welcoming.

In my first session, not only was the coach encouraging but so was everyone else in the class. It was such a nice feeling that people wanted the best for you, even when they hadn’t met you before.

I never used to be a morning person, but now I train before work and have so much more energy and motivation throughout the day. That small change has made a massive impact on my daily life.

The great thing about FitterFaster is there’s no pressure to keep up with everyone else.
Each class can be tailored to different fitness levels and you can always go at your own pace. Everyone is on their own journey and smashing their own goals.

As a beginner I used to think, ‘Oh god, I can’t keep up with them.’ Fast forward to now and I’m lifting weights I didn’t think possible and doing things I once told myself I couldn’t.

Over the last couple of months, people have noticed the changes — the weight loss, the strength — and it feels amazing to know others can see the results too. So far I’ve lost just over 7kg, and I know I’m still on my journey, but I also know I’m in good hands.

If you’re thinking about joining, just take that leap of faith. I used to think I’d start when I was more motivated, or when I got fitter first so I wouldn’t be embarrassed.

The truth is, you’ll never feel fully ready. You just have to put those worries aside, and once you start, you’ll realise you had nothing to worry about.
FitterFaster is honestly one big family — the support and encouragement is there in every single session.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that consistency is key, and you have to do it for yourself.”

Don't have time for all the things?

I get it, I'm a parent, business owner and partner too.

Just do what you can

Change something?

It all counts and if you do it consistently, it adds up.

Honestly, none of us started with 5 workouts out a week and 12000 steps?

Do what you can and build it up. It will get easier - I promise.
