One of the biggest lies you’ll hear in fitness is that there is one overall end goal.

The truth is that you never ‘complete’ fitness. Staying fit, healthy and strong is a lifestyle and your goals will always be changing depending on what stage you’re at in your life, whether you compete in a sport or just want to reach a different personal goal.

There are no quick fixes or speedy weight loss hacks. It takes commitment and consistency. It also helps if you can find a form of exercise that you love!

There’s been a bit of a clash recently between strength training and pilates.

It’s true that you will see some people suggest that you can build muscle and get ‘toned’ just by doing Pilates. Now Pilates has a LOT of benefits and it can help you build some muscular endurance however, to stimulate muscle growth, your body needs to be challenged. This means enough resistance, enough intensity and progressive overload.

That’s where Pilates can be limiting and it’s just not going to give you the same results as lifting weights in the gym.

My view is that people should do both - weight training to build muscle and get that ‘toned’ look, and Pilates for control, stability and core strength.

There’s absolutely room for both, you don’t have to choose 🫶

I’ve heard a few women in the last week say negative things about themselves when working out. One lady didnt even want to look in the mirror for technique purposes as she was so fixed on what her body looked like.

It makes me sad that women talk about themselves like this and I’m making it my mission to change the way women think and feel about themselves in the gym.

It’s time to reframe the way you think and talk about yourself - not just in the gym, but day to day as well.

The more positive and confident version of you is coming! 💜

This is why strength training matters.

Not just for muscle definition, but for the shift in how women see themselves.

My client noticed her shoulders and arms looking stronger recently and felt confident enough to actually admire them in the gym mirror whilst we were training. It was glorious!

More strength.
More confidence.
Less hiding.

That’s what we strive for at Coached by Matthews 🫶

We have a photo frame on the wall in our bedroom with a load of our wedding photos in and this classic makes an appearance.

This photo was taken at the end of my dad’s speech - he finished with a toast and we all took a shot of tequila rose. Ironically, as I was looking at this photo, I was stood in the bedroom shotting gaviscon to deal with my pregnancy heartburn…

Oh how times have changed in 3 years! 😆

My client was struggling to hit her protein…here’s what we did.

If you struggle to eat enough protein, drop the word ‘protein’ below and I’ll send something over to help 💜

5 year ago today, I received my business cards for my very first business, The Wellbeing Shed.

I was still working in full time employment, but trying to get my business off the ground to allow me to to self employed. It took a lot of work, tiredness and stress trying to balance the two, as well as a lot of evolving and adapting.

5 years and hundreds of Pilates classes later, The Wellbeing Shed has evolved into Coached by Matthews. I continue to teach 7 Pilates classes a week but am also a qualified personal trainer with a pre and post natal certificate and a reformer Pilates qualification.

It’s been a slog but it’s been so worth it to finally get to where I want to be - in a happier and healthier place in my career ☺️

Really looking forward to seeing how the next year grows and adapts along with our family 💜

First Pilates class taught today!

I’ll be teaching a regular class at 12.30 on a Friday afternoon - take a break from work and enjoy a 45 minute class to get you ready for the weekend 💪🏻

The class is on the timetable and available to book via the Pure Gym app!

You’ve been thinking about it for a while now…

“I should probably do something.”

But life’s busy, motivation comes and goes, and before you know it… another week passes.

This is your chance to change that.

My FREE 5 Day Strong & Confident Kickstart starts on 20th April, and it’s designed to help you stop overthinking and just start.

No extremes.
No pressure.
No complicated plans.

Just simple workouts, realistic nutrition guidance, and support from me to help you build momentum and feel better in your body again 🤍

I’ll be closing sign-ups in the next few days so I can get everyone set up properly.

If you’ve been sitting on the fence… take this as your sign.

You don’t need to be fit to start The Strong & Confident Project.

I hear this all the time: “I just want to get a bit fitter first…”

But that’s like saying you need to learn to drive before getting an instructor 🚗

The Strong & Confident Project is for you if you’re:
• Out of routine
• Lacking confidence in the gym
• Starting again after time off

Simple workouts. Realistic guidance. Step-by-step confidence building 💪

Still unsure? That’s exactly why I created the 5 Day Kickstart — a no-pressure way to try it, build momentum, and see how it feels.

If you’ve been thinking about starting… this is your sign ✨

It’s 5 days of your life — but it could turn into 12 weeks of real change.
