Body Positivity
YOU set the standard!
Do not define yourself by your waistline. Do not be deceived by fitness influencers who will go to any lengths, including diet pills, fat strippers, starvation - leading to mental health troubles and more - to post a picture of the perfect body. You have the perfect body for you. We believe that health is far more important than aesthetics, and your self worth being defined from within and not by these crazy unrealistic beauty standards is the aim of our programme.
Disabled bodies
Body positivity is for ALL bodies. We want to normalise disabled people in gyms, with true accessibility for wheelchairs and a body-friendly culture. Kate has a catheter and collection bag strapped to her leg and wants to be able to walk into a gym, in tight top and leggings with the bag on show, and nobody bat an eyelid. We believe movement is for EVERY BODY. Legs don't work? Put on your favourite dance tunes and throw some shapes with your arms - that will get your heart rate up. The mental and physical benefits of movement are so important, and even more so for those whose baseline health is lower than others.
How it works
This program is online. We have an hour a week focused on your fitness, whether that is mindset coaching, or you want someone to dance around with and enjoy your favourite tunes on Zoom, we are completely guided by you. We will develop a three month macrocycle, broken down into four week blocks, with training aims and methods of progressing your workouts, whatever they may be, so you know you will be in good hands to help you achieve your goals.
You - meet food - you will be best friends!
Food positivity and you
It is so very important to have a good relationship with food. Labelling has become "calorie dense" or "nutrient dense" as there are still the undertones of "good" or "bad" food. So many people still exercise to burn off calories, or beat themselves up for finishing a tub of ice cream and then think to themselves that they have to exercise even harder to cancel out what they have just eaten. Yes, the rules of thermodynamics exist, but we are emotional beings who experience enjoyment, rather than machines who should be ruled by numbers. Remember the aim here is health, physical and mental. Our self worth is not defined by the numbers on the scale (which are distorted by how much carbohydrate you have eaten the day before, how much salt you had, if you are a menstruating person, where in your cycle you are, all sorts), nor are we rabbits, destined for a life of misery just eating lettuce. The key word is BALANCE.

Our Nutritional Services
Health at all sizes
We have super-duper software that allows us to analyse meal plans or food diaries to see if the required vitamins and minerals are present to ensure optimum health. We can get to know you, what you love, create healthy alternatives (Kate loves protein pizza) that are delicious and filling, and leave you wanting to nourish your body even more. We can have mindset coaching sessions with you to explore your relationship with food, and help you get to a place where health is priority - reward your body by putting the best food into it, eat mindfully and gratefully, learn to listen to your body's signals, and develop a healthy relationship with good, nutritious food and the occasional luscious, indulgent treat!
