Last few days in Dubai.. Dune bashing, BBQ, Dubai Marina, a trip on the Dubai Ferry (who needs a super yacht) in stormy seas around The Palm 🤢. Jameira Beach, cheesecake, good food even if half eaten before taking a pic. A treadmill session with a view, even if it nearly killed me.

Back to routine, structure and a job I love, helping women feel healthy, strong, confident and happy x

If you make the same promises to yourself every January…

Lose weight.
Eat better.
Move more.
Exercise regularly.
“This time will be different.”

And by February you’re already wondering why you haven’t done what you’d said you’d do and it hasn’t worked again…

Hear this..

❌It’s not because you lack willpower.
❌It’s not because you didn’t try hard enough.
❌And it’s not because there’s something wrong with you.

You have NOT failed.
Your approach failed.

Your approach didn’t support your body, your life or the reality you’re living.

Instead switch your focus purely from weight loss to improving your HEALTH & FEELING GOOD and becoming your strongest, healthiest and most confident self, while you lose the weight as a by product.

It is a much more sustainable and w notable approach and one that will help you appreciate your body and what it allows you to do.

And lead to you, feeling healthier and happier with how you look and feel in your body.

Lasting weight loss doesn’t come from over restriction, shame, punishment or the exhausting cycle of yo-yo dieting and starting over again and again.

It comes from recognising your previous approach didn’t work and doing it differently this time.

✔️Small consistent choices and actions.

✔️Better support.
✔️Accountability.

If you want this year to be different, to show yourself that you CAN succeed, don’t do it alone.

Your success increases with the support & accountability of having a coach.

Message me and let’s talk about your goals, what’s held you back before and what a supportive, sustainable approach could look like for you.

Here’s to a year of becoming… send

Christmas on the beach, family catch up, boats & Bon Jovi.

New friendships, Old Dubai, souks and spices.

White party, workouts, swimming, sightseeing and a McD’s Arabian chicken wrap, which was 👌😋.

Connection, conversation cards and a new handbag big enough to fit Stanley.

Feels like we’ve been away ages..

Life is hard enough without feeling low energy, unhappy with how you look in family photos & not like your reflection in the mirror.

Hannah turned her life around at 40.

She is now strong, fit, confident and lost weight.
She not only feels better in herself.
She is also a better mum to her children and all the people in her life.

She has achieved her goals by prioritising herself but making it work around her family and full time job.

Proving that when you have the right guidance and support, you can achieve your goals and achieve more than you ever believed possible.

A wonderful visit to the Presidential Palace and The Grand Mosque at sunset in Abu Dhabi.

As a Jewish woman this just reaffirmed my beliefs that respect matters more than difference.

We don’t have to understand or agree on everything to treat people, cultures and faiths with kindness and respect.

As the year comes to a close, I want to say a heartfelt thank you.

To every woman who has trusted me this year, past and present clients, podcast listeners and those quietly watching, considering what might be possible for them next. Thank you.

Thank you for showing up.
For trying, even when it felt hard.
For choosing your health, your wellbeing, and yourself, sometimes for the first time in a long time.

My work has never been about quick fixes or perfection.
It’s about helping women feel stronger, healthier, more confident and more at home in their bodies.

Creating a life and a body that feels good to live in.

Watching women reconnect with themselves, rebuild trust in themselves and realise what they’re capable of in midlife is a privilege I never take for granted.

To my clients past and present, thank you for letting me be part of your journey.
If you’ve listened to my podcast, shared an episode, or sent a message, thank you. I appreciate you 🙏.

And if you’re thinking about what next year could look like for you, know that it’s never too late to begin.

I hope the year ahead brings you strength, balance and the confidence to keep choosing yourself.

Merry Christmas,

I met my husband in a nightclub. He noticed me dancing on a podium in pair of gold trousers and a big smile.

I was 30yrs old, a health club manager and unlucky in love.

He asked for my number, I told him to give me his as I didn’t intend to call. But I did.

Almost 24 years of marriage later, 3 grown up kids.

We still love a dance and give me a podium, a bench, a table or a wall… I’m the first one up.

I don’t need a drink, I just need good music, a great atmosphere and good people around me.

Just wish my recovery was like it was 24 yrs ago. Late nights and my knees are def not what they used to be.

We still got it Tom Geard

A night in Dubai, thousands of steps traipsing Dubai mall, to the top of the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Fountain, The Frame, the most amazing toastie, boarded a ship, drank wine, saw a show, went on a city bike tour in Doha, did a gym workout with the husband and now a much needed day of relaxation in Bahrain.

Swipe to the end to see a quote and a word that isn’t in the UAE vocabulary.

Earlier this year, I discovered the most comfortable, light and supportive trainers that I never knew I needed until I tried them.

In fact I was sceptical…

They brought back my love for running and I now wear them out & about in every day life.

They’re called (pronounced ‘clever’).

My final little reminder before I switch off for Christmas..

There is no right or wrong way to do Christmas.
There is only your way.

Be intentional.
Do what genuinely makes you feel good, not what you think you should be doing.

Move your body it helps you feel grounded.
Walk, train, stretch… or rest if that’s what your body is asking for.
Rest isn’t failing.
Sometimes it’s what we need.
You know yourself best and what you need.

Eat the food, enjoy the moments, and notice when you’ve had enough.
Not because of rules but because you’re listening to yourself.

Be present.
Put your phone down.
Laugh, connect, soak up the people and moments that matter to you.

And if things don’t go to plan. That’s okay. Make your next decision one that feels right.

My hope for you is that you come out the other side of Christmas feeling calm, connected, and proud of how you showed up, whatever that looked like for you.

And if you’re ready for judgement free coaching to finally smash your goals in 2026, get in touch.

Our Story

A women’s Jogging Club set up in 2010 by a local Abbots Langley mum, Debra Geard.

Now approaching it’s 8th year no one could have predicted the success the group would have.

We have become a very special running group where friendships have been formed. We are supportive of each other and together we have experienced running events that we never thought we would do!

Ladies have started running when they never thought they could with long term goals achieved. We never lose sight of keeping the sessions enjoyable and very sociable!
