Ten years. That’s how long it’s been since I trained my sister in a gym.

When she told me she wanted to find her way back to lifting, I did what any good brother would do.

I said yes. Then I immediately set up a camera.

Thing is, Louise is exactly where a lot of you are right now. She knows she wants to lift. She knows it’ll make her feel better. And she walks into a gym and her brain just goes… nope.

That feeling is real. And it’s more common than you think.

So we’re getting to work. No nonsense. No pressure. Just her, the weights, and her annoyingly persistent brother pointing a camera at her face.

Watch this space.

And we’re off 🎉

The first ever She Lifts programme is now underway.

For the next eight weeks, a group of determined women will be walking into gyms all over the UK (and one in Spain). Picking up weights. Getting stronger. Doing things they didn’t think they could. Over and over again. That's the She Lifts way.

I couldn’t be more proud to be their bald cheerleader in their pocket for the next 56 days.

This program is everything I've learnt over the last 23 years. Every client, every programme, every bad gym horror story, every conversation that started with “I don’t really know what I’m doing in the gym” - it all led here.

She Lifts isn’t just a programme. It’s proof that the right support, the right plan, and a group of women who actually show up for each other can change everything.

Week 1. Let’s effin go.

New podcast episode is out now on YouTube. 🎙️

This week I sat down with Shelley, founder of the brand new Thamesmead Nutrition club, for a proper good chat about why the fitness industry works better when people collaborate rather than guard their patch. We talk about her own journey, what we’re building together in Thamesmead, and a free outdoor workout event on the Thames on July 18th that you absolutely don’t want to sleep on.

Go and watch the full episode on the YouTube channel. And if you’re local, give Shelley a follow at Thamesmead Nutrition because she’s the real deal.

Shelley is the founder of Thamesmead Nutrition, a brand new Herbalife nutrition club opening right here in Thamesmead. And in a rare move for the fitness ind...

Tomorrow. It starts tomorrow.

12 women are about to change the way they train, think, and feel about themselves in the gym.

And a member of She Lifts doesn't need a perfect diet or experience with weights.

They need a gym, a bit of courage, and someone to show them exactly what they're actually capable of.

Oh... and lady parts obviously. That bit's quite important.

Sorry lads... I'll have something for you soon.

Last 3 spots are gone after today.

DM me the word LIFTS and I’ll get you sorted before the doors close tonight.

Who do you know that needs to see this?

Tag her below.

60 seconds

No edits. No AI. Just me cutting an impassioned promo on why you should be start training with me tomorrow morning.

It would take a huge leap of faith in yourself to sign up to She Lifts with less than 24 hours to go.

You've heard me talk about it. Talk about the people who live it.

I've been in you emails, in your DMs, Insta, TikTok, Facebook. I'm everywhere.

You'll be told how to train, how to eat, and how to make it all something you can maintain. Your body will look better and your mindset will chance.

But it ultimately comes down to this.

You need to know that you need that sort of change.

You need to be willing to admit that what you're doing isn't really working for you.

and it's fu***ng hard to do. That's why so many people ghost.

But ladies, I fu***ng dare ya. Take a punt on yourself this Sunday morning.

Come work with me and the ladies I've assembled inside She Lifts

You won't recognise yourself by summer.

DM or comment "NOW" to get in

Every quote above is real.

No paraphrasing. No polishing. No “client said something nice so I rewrote it to sound better.”

These are Alicia’s actual words.

From WhatsApp messages after workouts. From her Instagram. From the podcast we recorded together earlier this year.

She didn’t know she was writing marketing copy. She was just being honest.

And honestly? That’s the whole point.

She once sat in the car park and couldn’t go in. She would have panic attacks. She paid for a gym she never used. She turned up on a Stairmaster, stared at the wall, and went home.

The we got to work and she started lifting.

The rest is in her own words. Swipe through.

If you recognise yourself in any of it - the anxiety, the baggy shirts, the gym that never felt like your space - She Lifts was built for you.

8 weeks. Real gym tings. A plan that fits your life. And starts Monday.

3 spaces remaining.

DM or Comment "ALICIA" and you're in

Wanna do She Lifts with a mate ?

I've got a little weekend special so don’t sleep on it.

She Lifts kicks off Monday and there are still a couple of spots left. This weekend only, if you and a mate both sign up, you get £40 off your program place. Or 20.00 each if you want to share.

Not only do you get 8 weeks of proper strength training, you’ve got someone to compare notes with. Someone to quietly compete with. Someone who can’t bail on Monday morning because you’ll know about it lol.

Obviously they need to have a gym membership. And be a lady. Not too much of a lady tho. There will be swearing.

This offer disappears Sunday night. A couple of spots left. DM me "MATE" or tag them below.

Inside She Lifts I'm trying to make it as easy as possible to make sense of the gym. A place that isn't obvious or particularly welcoming most of the time

Listen to how we aim to give you ownership over your work

You're not simply copying or winging it

You're contributing - it's yours

Can't wait the get these ladies going on Monday

Still places remaining if you need this approach in your gym

MENOPAUSE. Yeah, I said it.

Don't know many male trainers who dare mention it much. In fact, apparently it's ungentlemanly of me to even mention the age of a woman.

Lucky for you lot I'm not a gentleman.

The average age of the women who’ve already signed up to She Lifts is 47.

Everyone is aged within 20 years of each other

That’s not a coincidence. That’s a group of women who are done being told that cardio and cutting calories is the answer to feeling rubbish in their body. It isn’t. Especially not at this stage of life.

Strength training is one of the most powerful things a woman can do during perimenopause and beyond. It protects bone density, helps with body composition, improves mood, and makes you feel like yourself again. Proper strong. Not skinny. F**king Strong.

She Lifts starts in 3 days.

8 weeks. A gym plan built around you. No cardio. No meal plans. No nonsense.

If you’ve been sitting on the fence, this is your sign to get off it.

Link in bio to grab your spot, or drop me a DM or comment with the word "pause" and I’ll answer any questions you’ve got.
