Power Up With Plants Coaching, Village Gym, Solihull (2025)

26/11/2025

I’m a fitness coach… but even I lose motivation when I don’t have structure, accountability or a plan to follow.

My wrist injury has completely thrown me off recently — fewer workouts, and trying to do what I can when I can around doctors’ appointments has just made me feel a bit “mehhhh”.

Movement’s dropped, energy’s dipped, and I’ve definitely felt less comfortable in my gym wear. Co-codamol hasn’t helped either 🫠

But the real reason I slipped?

I stopped wearing my Apple Watch.

I wear it on my left wrist… and with the splint, I took it off.

Which meant no data, no step goal, no accountability — and everything slowly slipped without me noticing.

Today I hit around 7k steps on an active-ish day (longer dog walk + house bits)…

So who knows how low I was on the days I opted for the quicker, easier walk.

Instead of sitting in my feels or comfort eating, I problem-solved:

I switched the watch orientation so I can wear it on my right wrist.

Instant clarity.

Instant accountability.

Instant motivation to build my movement back up (ideally around 12k/day for me).

Even as a coach, I lose momentum.

The difference is I notice it — and I change something.

If you’re feeling the same this month — off track, low routine, no structure — you don’t have to stay there.

My Essentials Kickstart is open for Black Friday and gives you simple structure, accountability and clarity — AND December completely free when you secure your January space.

Start now, feel better by Christmas, and have nothing to pay in January when money feels the tightest.

If you’re already struggling now…

December will feel 10x harder.

And here’s why:

Because your environment isn’t set up for success — and when you add “December distractions” on top of that, everything spirals fast.

More social plans.
More food everywhere.
More tiredness.
More rushing.
Zero routine.
Zero structure.

And without accountability, planning or clarity… most people just write the whole month off.

But you don’t have to.

You don’t have to make January harder for yourself.

You already want to lose weight, feel more confident, feel healthier and more in control — so how is burying your head in the sand going to help?

It won’t.

What will help?

• A simple structure
• A plan you can actually follow
• Accountability that keeps you consistent
• Nutrition that fits your lifestyle (yes, including plant-based if that’s you 🌱)
• A routine that survives the chaos — not collapses under it

This is exactly why I created The Essentials Kickstart.

A lighter-touch version of online coaching that gives you enough structure to stay on track through the busiest month of the year.

Black Friday closes Friday at midnight.

BLACK FRIDAY ESSENTIALS KICKSTART 🖤✨

If your routine has slipped… meals feel messy… steps are down… and you’re frustrated because you know what to do but can’t seem to do it — you’re not alone.

Winter is the hardest time of year to stay consistent ❄️
Dark nights. Busy weeks. More food. Less structure.

But you don’t need to wait for January and “start again”.
You need clarity. Structure. Accountability.
A plan that removes the guesswork.

That’s why I’ve opened The Essentials Kickstart for Black Friday 🖤

Not a discount.
Not a downgrade.
Just a simpler, lighter-touch way to get the support you need right now — especially when money is tighter before Christmas 🎄💸

And the best part?
It’s all online.
So your training fits around your schedule — not a personal trainer’s diary.
No juggling appointments. No pressure. Just a plan you can follow in your own time.

My full Accountability package includes weekly check-ins and high-touch coaching.
Essentials gives you the same quality structure at a lighter commitment:

✓ Personalised calories & protein
✓ A meal plan that fits YOUR lifestyle (plant-based options included 🌱)
✓ Personalised workouts based on your goals, time & equipment
✓ App tracking for steps, workouts & nutrition
✓ Messaging support inside the app
✓ One monthly check-in
✓ A clear plan that stops the “start again on Monday” cycle

And yes — this still gets serious results.
I’ve had clients lose up to 10kg in 12 weeks with this exact structure.
You’ve seen their results on my grid and stories — real people, real progress, real coaching 💪🔥

And for Black Friday only:

Pay for January upfront and get December completely free.
Start on the 1st with full support, full structure, and nothing to pay in January — the tightest month of the year.

By the time everyone else is “starting fresh”, you’ll already be in month two… feeling better, clearer, and already seeing change ✨

This closes Friday 28th November at midnight.

“I love training, but I want to look like I train.”

“I want to feel confident in a sports bra at the gym.”

“I don’t want to give up being a plant based foodie.”

These were Steff’s first goals when we started… and we ticked every single one off. 🔥

Steff is proof that Online Coaching can work with your life, not against it- no matter where you are in the world !

In the year we’ve worked together she has:

🌍 Travelled South America for 6 months
✈️ Holidayed in Thailand
🇦🇺 Moved to Australia

And through all of that — she’s stayed consistent.

Recently I asked Steff if she wanted to take a diet break during December.

Her answer?

“In Australia they do it differently — there’s no big build-up like in the UK.”

She’s happy to crack on, keep making progress, and treat it like a normal month… while still enjoying Christmas Day and maybe the odd day either side.

This is the level of consistency that gets results.

The kind that gives her complete flexibility… and results on tap 👌🏼

We can tune in and out exactly when we need to.

No perfect routine.
No strict rules.
Just a lifestyle she can repeat anywhere in the world.

Why does Steff make progress so well?

👉 She tracks
👉 She trains
👉 She hits her steps
👉 She plans her food
👉 She stays organised
👉 And she actually enjoys the process

This isn’t about chasing quick fixes or falling back to square one every time life gets busy.

It’s about building structure, habits and a mindset you can keep for life.

Steff is living proof of that. 💪

And she continues to progress because she keeps it simple and stays consistent.

If you want this kind of structure and confidence heading into winter…

Something drops tomorrow 👀🖤

Sunday.
A day to do what brings me joy — and usually that’s movement.
But with my wrist right now… it’s been incredibly frustrating.

Needing cover for classes, not being able to take part, and missing that feel-good endorphin kick — it all adds up.
And coming back to work this week with so many unknowns meant my own training took a hit too.

I’ve managed one leg session and a run today.
For me, that’s so stripped back.
No wonder I’ve been feeling a bit flat.
I genuinely enjoy exercise — not just physically, but because I like leading from the front and inspiring others through my own actions.

Right now, I’m living a little through my clients — watching them stay consistent, push themselves, and make progress — and honestly, it makes me so proud to see them thrive.

The one thing keeping me grounded through all of this?
Structure.
Even when training doesn’t look how I want it to, having a plan for my days stops everything else from unravelling.

It’s about staying steady and adapting to what I can do while we still don’t know what’s going on with it.
Roll on Tuesday MRI 🤞

From feeling stuck in the winter months… to getting consistent, building strength, and completely changing her confidence. 🔥

This is Smitha — an amazing client I absolutely loved working with.

She coached with me this time last year, starting during the colder, darker months when routine usually slips.

And she proved exactly what’s possible with the right structure and accountability.

When Smitha first came to me, she was doing her best — coming to the gym, eating “pretty well”, sticking to what she knew (mostly machines).
But progress had stalled.

Low energy.

No clear plan.

No confidence with weights.

And winter made everything feel even harder.

Now?

✅ She trains 3x/week with a clear, simple plan

✅ She feels confident using weights

✅ She understands how nutrition fits into her fat loss

✅ She’s stronger, leaner, fitter — and visibly changed

Her results speak for themselves.

Smitha lost 9.1kg, dropped body fat, built strength, and her visual transformation is incredible.

She looks leaner, more defined, and far more confident in her routine.

It wasn’t about doing more — it was about doing the right things consistently.

She committed.

She checked in.

She trusted the process.

And the progress followed.

Winter isn’t the time to pause.

It’s the time to build the routine that carries you into the new year — instead of waiting for January to “start again”.

If you’re reading this thinking, “This is exactly where I’m at”… you don’t have to do it alone.

I’ve been working on something for Black Friday that’s designed to give you the structure, clarity and accountability you’ve been missing 👀

DM me “WINTER” and I’ll send you the early details.

Winter is when routines start slipping…

These 5 tips will keep you consistent without the overwhelm ❄️💪

SAVE for when you need a reset.

And keep an eye on my page 👀🖤 something’s coming…

She didn’t wait for January. She didn’t overthink it.

She started with the Online Coaching ‘Essentials package’ — and within a few weeks, she’s already seeing real results. 👏

This client joined Essentials feeling uncomfortable in her body, low in confidence, and unsure where to start.

Her goals were simple:

👉 Lose a stone
👉 Tone up
👉 Tighten her waist and back
👉 Feel comfortable in clothes again
👉 Improve energy during perimenopause

She was averaging 4–5k steps a day, skipping meals, under eating and picking throughout the day, feeling constantly tired, and had no structure with training or nutrition.

Here’s what we put in place on the Essentials package:

✓ 7,500 steps per day
✓ 1500 calories
✓ 113g protein
✓ Two full-body home workouts per week
✓ A meal plan built around foods she already eats
✓ No foods she dislikes added
✓ Monthly check-in
✓ Full accountability through the app (steps, workouts, meals all visible)

The result?

🚀 Down 3kg
🚀 Less bloated
🚀 More energised
🚀 Noticeably slimmer through her waist and back
🚀 Starting to feel like herself again

She’s also been consistent, communicated well, and applied the guidance — and the progress shows.

She chose the Essentials package because it felt like the right place to start — simple, structured, and easier to commit to this side of Christmas.

It meant she didn’t have to wait until January or delay progress. She could get going straight away, build routine, and finally feel supported.

And she’s glad she did.

She’s already seeing results within just a few weeks.

If you want results like this, keep an eye on my page this week.

Or DM “READY” and I’ll send you the details 👀

Struggling to keep your routine together now the darker nights have kicked in?

You’re not the only one — this is the time of year where structure slips for most people.

Instead of relying on motivation, focus on habits that make your routine easier to follow.

Here are three that actually help:

1. Make your routine… and design it so you can stick to it.

Don’t just say “I’ll train after work”.

Think about HOW.

Pack your gym bag the night before, leave it by the door, take a pre-gym snack, and remove any reason to skip.

Convenience equals consistency.

2. Choose meals that genuinely keep you full
Winter makes you crave warm, comforting foods — use that.

Pick high-protein, repeatable meals that feel satisfying: soups, stews, tofu bowls, pasta, porridge.

When you’re fuelled properly, sticking to your routine becomes so much easier.

3. Tighten your environment

It’s not motivation you’re lacking — it’s support.

If your space is chaotic, your habits will be too.

Tidy kitchen, stocked snack drawer, workout kit ready to go.

Small pockets of order = a smoother week.

Keep these tight over the next few weeks and you won’t hit January feeling like you’re starting from zero again.

SAVE this for later… and if you want help getting these habits in place before Christmas, keep your eyes on my page this week 👀 🤭

14/11/2025

Another solid week of wins for my client 🙌

More confidence in the gym, better form, and finally feeling in control of her workouts — this is what consistency looks like.

Want to feel this confident in the gym?

DM me ‘WORKOUTS’ to begin.

13/11/2025

If you’re waiting to feel ready… you’ll be waiting forever.

Most people say, “I’ll start after Christmas.”
But let’s call it what it is: delaying your progress on purpose.

In 8 weeks, you could already be feeling stronger, fitter, and more confident.

Or… you could be in the exact same place, giving yourself the exact same excuses.

Confidence doesn’t arrive first.

The doing comes first.

You want to feel confident lifting? You lift.

You want to be a runner? You run.

It doesn’t matter if it’s messy, slow, awkward, or imperfect — that’s literally the point.

Fear of getting it wrong is what keeps you stuck.

Not lack of ability.

Not lack of time.

Just fear.

Every confident person you see was once a beginner who was willing to look a bit clueless at the start.

And honestly? That’s the fastest way to grow.

One of my clients said to me the other week:

“I really admire that when you say you’ll do something… you just go and do it.”

And my reaction was basically:

“Wait… there’s another option?” 😅
(Let’s see if they pop up in the comments🤪)

So here’s your check-in:

What are you DOING right now to move yourself forward?

And if the answer is “nothing yet”… then maybe you need a hand taking that first step.

I might know a very pragmatic coach who’s annoyingly good at getting people from A → B, who’ll also be your biggest cheerleader along the way …
