What a great morning I’ve had! Yes, I know, that’s a bold opening. But I genuinely have a pep in my step today. You see, my morning has been full of positivity and joy, and I can’t help but want to pass that on. There must be something in the air (⚠️ warning: shameless self-promotion incoming) because the moment I stepped through the doors at Wonder Woman Fitness this morning , the good vibes just kept rolling in like the most delightful tsunami imaginable. My first client of

I’ve always loved a good huffy puffy cardio class. I leave sweaty, a little flushed, energized . Tick that exercise box for the day. Over time, I was doing the classes more religiously, and seeing no results. So wrong. So unfair.  Well , didn’t it come as a HUGE shock to me after studying, researching and building my knowledge bank as a Menopausal strength and mobility trainer,  that as a perimenopausal woman, this form of exercise is doing nothing more than working my heart

My run last Sunday kicked off with a glance at the weather app. It told me it was 6 degrees but “felt like” 1. I’ve never fully understood why it needs to give both.

The other day, one of my clients finished an incredible set of barbell squats. Perfect form, smooth execution, and a personal best weight to top it off. She turned to me, beaming, and asked “Are you going to post that on your socials?” It got me thinking… If a woman squats in a gym and no one uploads it to Instagram, did it even happen? We’re living in the age of Insta-fame where doing something is only half the story. The other half is capturing it from three flattering angl

This morning I did something I always tell others not to do. I reached for my phone the moment I woke up and started scrolling through social media while sipping my coffee. As I scrolled, a video popped up of my two incredibly fit cousins who live overseas. They were doing box jumps with their trainer. It was genuinely impressive. I know how committed they are to their health and wellbeing. They are both high achievers in their careers, and they use exercise not just for thei
