You know the saying ‘One hot day doesn’t make a Summer’?

I usually say that when I’m talking about having one day of eating really high calories.

Fat loss is not about what you do on a once-off. It’s about your long term behaviours.

And for that...

Am I mad to tell you that one of the things I hear often from clients after a few weeks doing The Furnace is:

“I’m not seeing much progress”

So why am I telling you this?

Surely I want to tell you that my clients are making amazing progress after a couple of...

I asked on instagram the other day for ideas on content. I wanted to see what people were struggling with and how I could help them.

Surprisingly to me, many people said they just don't know where to start.

Since 2014, I’ve been sharing what I learnt when it came to...

I think we all know that stress isn’t good for us, and yet some stress is unavoidable.

Your job, relationships, family, and finances can all push your stress levels up, but I want to talk about the things that aren’t so obvious.

Cortisol is a hormone that is released...

I’ve realised now that there has been over 2000 women through The Furnace in the last two years.

These are not women who have never dieted before.

These are women who are frustrated after feeling they’ve tried everything but are still not happy with their bodies.

It’s been a weird couple of years, learning, acknowledging, improving.

I personally think that most people want to feel good.

And a lot of those people think that they will feel good when they look good.

And a lot of those people think that they will look good when they are a certain size.

I think about this a lot,...

You would think that posting a picture of your client with abs and asking “what’s your excuse?” would be a thing of the past. Unfortunately it’s something I’ve seen recently.

Of course the intent behind the post was to celebrate the hard work put in by their...

12 weeks from now, brings us to the middle of June.

I don’t know if that’s scary because the year is flying, or exciting because the Summer is going to be here before we know it!

Now, before you think I’ve regressed - I’m not here to sell you a ‘12...

I used to really hate running.

But I used to run a lot.

That was before I discovered how resistance training could actually change the shape of your body.

So I stopped running and made it my mission to preach that you didn’t have to do cardio to lose weight!!

I...

I hope your week is going well!

The pandemic saw the rise of a lot of "fitness influencers" because they posted daily live videos that promised to “burn fat” or were described as an “Ab blast” or “glute builder”.

The reason I didn’t do them...

Wanna lose 10 pounds while in the sun?

 Sounds like the dream.
