Do you ever get so focused on your goals that you forget how far you’ve come?

One of my incredible clients had this exact moment recently. I shared her progress photos, from when she first started to now, and she replied, ‘Thank you so much for sending me this photo… I think I’d forgotten how far I’ve come!’

It’s so easy to be hard on ourselves and only see what’s left to achieve, but sometimes, we need to pause and reflect on our growth. Progress isn’t just about numbers; it’s about strength, resilience, and embracing each small win along the journey.

Imagine looking back in a few months, feeling proud of how far you’ve come. If you’re ready to make those changes, work towards results you’ll love, and want support along the way, coaching could be the key! Message me the word ‘Ready,’ and let’s take that first step together! 💫💖

Happy Monday! New Week, Fresh Start 🎉

Take a moment to plan and crush your goals.

Here are a few simple steps to help you start strong:

* Reflect on what you want to achieve this week – set clear, small goals.

* Prioritise your tasks to keep things manageable.

* Take one step at a time, and celebrate small wins along the way.

* Remember to be kind to yourself and focus on progress, not perfection.

A great weekend spent with wonderful friends! Yesterday, we celebrated a friend’s birthday with a lovely afternoon tea 🫖 followed by delicious cocktails 🍸 and today was all about a refreshing brunch, a nice stroll, and good old catching up. Feeling grateful for these moments 💫💖

Breaking Free from the Comparison Trap 💫

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to slip into comparing yourself to those around you, getting caught up in watching others instead of focusing on your own journey?

Now is the time to put the focus back on yourself. Remember, your journey is not about comparing yourself to anyone else, it’s about building on the progress you made yesterday.

Sometimes, we fall into the habit of comparisons, but remember, we often only see others’ highlights, their “end results” or what we want to see. We rarely see the struggles or barriers they’ve had to overcome. Every small step you take is meaningful, and comparison can rob you of the joy in those steps forward.

So, let’s make a commitment to ourselves today to make 1% improvements each day or week. Whether it’s showing up for a workout, prioritising yourself, or eating one biscuit instead of the whole packet, it all counts.

Stay focused on yourself, you’re stronger than you know, you can do this, and each small step you take is moving you forward.

Are you ready to take that 1% step today? Let’s do this together! 💫💖

Energise And Thrive 💫

8 weeks until Christmas?!

One of the biggest mistakes I see clients make? Waiting until the New Year to start their health and fitness goals!
They often overindulge throughout the festive season and enter January feeling frustrated and set back, repeating the same cycle year after year. So, why not make this year different?

Imagine making a real change in your body transformation over the next eight weeks. Not only will this give you the freedom to relax during the festive season, but it also sets you up to start 2025 feeling energised, thriving, and ready for your best year yet.

If you’re ready to feel:
✨ More confident in your body
✨ Energised to fully enjoy the festive season
✨An improved mindset, knowing you can enjoy yourself without overindulging

Without:
❌ Spending hours in the gym doing cardio
❌ Cutting out all your favourite foods
❌ Avoiding social events

All I ask is that you:
✅ Have time to train regularly each week
✅ Are committed to your goals
✅ Are friendly, coachable, and willing to learn

If this sounds like you, and you’d like me to personally coach you between now and Christmas, DM me the word SANTA to get started 💫💖

Happy Friday, 💪✨ Just a reminder, you don’t have to go hard every single day to be healthier. Sometimes it’s the little things that make all the difference!

Here are 3 quick ‘weekend wellness wins’ you can easily fit in:

* Dance Like No One’s Watching 💃 (or like your dog is judging) – put on your favourite song and get moving!

* The 60-Second Plank Challenge 🕒 – Dare yourself (and anyone around you!) to hold a plank for a minute. Tag me when you try it!

* Happy Hydration Hour 🥤– swap one drink tonight for a glass of water. Your future self will thank you!

Who’s in? 🙋‍♀️ Have a great weekend, everyone!

Read below to see how Kathryn has found online coaching to be such a game-changer for her! Wondering if it could work for you too? Take a look at her journey!

I have been training with Vicky for 7 months now, I was so apprehensive before starting as I was worried that a trainer would have unrealistic expectations of my time and would not make a programme that was tailored to me as a working mum with very little ‘me’ time.
I chose to work with Vicky as I saw the results that my friend and one of Vicky’s other clients had achieved, she inspired me to put my needs first and said how understanding and supportive Vicky is.

Having a coach online is great, Vicky always responds to questions I have and always advises on tweaks to get the most out of each exercise. I like knowing what my programme is but being able to change my training days or times to fit in with my family/work commitments. Having the accountability allowed me to see results and keep wanting to strive towards my goals. I have lost 11kg in 4 months and maintained that loss in the last 3 months despite holidays and having a busier social life.

The main thing I am proud of is my commitment to myself, Vicky has supported me with my mindset and challenges I have felt along the way, she is always so encouraging and this helps me to be proud of my success. I would definitely recommend Vicky as a coach, she is kind and understanding, full of useful advice and always keen to push you a little beyond what you think you can achieve as she has confidence in your abilities.

Online coaching with Vicky has been such a worthwhile investment in myself, not only have I lost weight and dropped 2 dress sizes but my confidence in my body and my ability and drive to achieve has changed, I am so grateful for her coaching and all that I have achieved so far, I’m excited too to see what else I can achieve as my fitness and strength continues to improve.

This weekend, take time to slow down, reflect, and recharge, because when you fill your own cup first, you’re better equipped to handle whatever comes your way.

Remember, self-care isn’t selfish, it’s essential 💫💖

Happy Menopause Day! 💖

Today, I want to celebrate all the incredible women going through perimenopause, as well as those who are post-menopause.

It’s important to remember that menopause doesn’t define who we are, it’s just one of the many powerful chapters we, as women, we navigate our way through. Every woman’s journey through menopause is unique, affecting each of us in different ways.

Speaking from my own experience, perimenopause has been a tough road. I’ve faced low moods, anxiety, constant fatigue, severe night sweats, brain fog, and a loss of confidence. I felt like I had flatlined, as if I’d forgotten how to laugh. Nothing excited me anymore, not seeing friends, going out, or even my hobbies, to name a few of the symptoms. But I’ve come out the other side feeling stronger, my confidence is back, and I’m ready for the new challenges and opportunities coming my way!

Now, I see menopause not as an end, but as a wonderful opportunity to refocus on what truly matters, to reevaluate what’s not working, and to embrace new beginnings. I hope you can too.

If you’re going through perimenopause or post-menopause and feel like you’re struggling, remember it’s okay to reach out for help. Whether it’s having someone to listen, seeking medical advice, or simply sharing your story, please know that you’re not alone. 💖

Let me introduce Mel, one of my incredible clients, who I’ve been fortunate to work with. Mel’s progress over this past year has been truly inspiring!

When Mel first came to me, she was feeling frustrated because she hadn’t been able to get the results she wanted. She felt unhappy in her body and couldn’t fit into her clothes. With frequent work trips, it was tough for her to stick to any kind of routine.

We worked together to create a nutritional meal plan that Mel could easily follow, even while traveling. We also planned training sessions for her to do at home, along with different workouts that fit her schedule while she was away for work. Most importantly, we focused on being consistent with her new daily habits, which have brought her closer to her goals.

Here’s what Mel has to say in her own words:

I have known Vicky for a number of years since going to her body pump classes. As soon as I met Vicky I found her to be warm and welcoming. Vicky always explains things in a way that I understand so when I decided I wanted some PT she came to mind first of.
I have really appreciated having someone to check in with me each week and the consistency is what has got me the results. I was really unhappy about my body and not being able to fit into the same clothes anymore. I have really valued a whole new routine that fits around my life but still allows me to go and do what I enjoy. I have been able to improve parts of my body I had not considered before and really feel so much better. I’ve got into an exercise and eating pattern than I can maintain and keep losing weight at a steady and healthy pace.
Vicky is not only my coach but feels like my mentor and friend and never judges and understands and supports when I have had a bad week. There is nothing Vicky does not know and is so knowledgeable. It really has been life changing and I would recommend to anymore. Thank you! Xx 💫💖

☀️ Don’t Forget Your Vitamin D! ☀️

As the colder months roll in, the sun goes into hiding behind the clouds, but that doesn’t mean you should miss out on the benefits of Vitamin D.

Taking an Vitamin D supplement is essential for overall health including keeping your bones strong and healthy, supporting your immune system, and to help balancing your mood. Vitamin D has also been shown to be very beneficial if you’re in peri or post-menopause.

Here are some of the best foods to include in your diet which are a good source of Vitamin D are oily fish including salmon, mackerel, and sardines. Other sources include egg yolks, red meat, liver and spinach.

Have you taken yours today? 💫💖

I received this amazing testimonial from my client Kathryn, who I’ve been working with since February.

I’m so proud of Kathryn, not only for the incredible progress she’s made in her weight loss and fitness journey but also in how she’s transformed her mindset. Helping women feel their at their very best, happy, confident, and in control of their health and wellbeing, is why I love doing what I do.

A little about Kathryn’s journey:
As a busy working mum with two young children, Kathryn faced many of the same struggles you might be dealing with. Finding time for herself, staying motivated to exercise and eat well, and balancing the demands of life. She struggled with low energy, poor sleep, mood swings, and lacked confidence.

But when she made the decision to put herself first and work with me, everything started to change. Her energy levels soared, her sleep improved, and she became more confident in her body and her abilities. Now, Kathryn not only feels physically stronger but is thriving in every area of her life.

Here’s what Kathryn has to say:
Since training with Vicky I have been consistent with my home workouts. I felt completely different heading into my summer holiday this year, I felt comfortable in my body and my summer clothes, I was able to enjoy time on the beach with my children without worrying about covering up my wobbly bits. Vicky had put in the option of some training whilst I was away and I really found the sunshine boosted my workouts and made me realise that I wanted and needed to move my body to feel good. The way I felt whilst I was away about my body has made me get straight back onto plan after some indulgence and I honestly feel the best I have ever felt. Thank you Vicky for all your kindness and support to get me the results I wanted # # #
