who we are
A coach that cares
As your trainer, I know that true health is about more than just physical appearance. Mental and physical well-being are equally important. I focus on the mental health benefits of strength training and movement, aiming for longevity, with aesthetics as a bonus.
With over 20 years of experience, I began my strength training journey in 1996. From university gym work to a 16-year career at Microsoft, and now running my Strength & Fitness business while raising 3 kids—I get it. I understand the daily struggles and time constraints, and I’m here for you. My home workouts are designed for wherever you are on your journey.
We are the F10, and that includes you. We're a community of women with shared experiences, united by the goal of living happy, healthy lives. We support each other to keep our minds and bodies strong. The energy and buzz after a home workout is amazing!
Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside of you that is greater than any obstacle.

WHY RESISTANCE TRAINING?
Transform Your Mind, body & health
Resistance training, also known as strength training or weightlifting, offers a wide range of benefits for both your physical and mental health. Some of the key benefits include:
1. Increased Muscle Mass: Resistance training helps build and maintain lean muscle mass, leading to improved strength and a more toned appearance
2. Improved Metabolism: Muscle tissue burns more calories at rest than fat tissue, so increased muscle mass can boost your metabolism and aid in weight management
3. Enhanced Strength: Strength training increases your ability to perform everyday tasks and activities, making them easier and more efficient
4. Bone Health: Weight-bearing resistance exercises can strengthen bones and reduce the risk of osteoporosis and fractures - vital in menopausal women
5. Improved Joint Health: Strengthening the muscles around your joints can enhance stability and reduce the risk of injury
6. Better Body Composition: Resistance training can help reduce body fat and improve body composition by increasing muscle-to-fat ratio
7. Enhanced Endurance: Building strength can improve your endurance and stamina, allowing you to engage in physical activities for longer periods
8. Metabolic Health: It can help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes
9. Cardiovascular Health: The F10 resistance training programme provides cardiovascular benefits when performed at a high intensity and with short rest periods
10. Mental Health: Engaging in resistance training can boost mood, reduce stress and improve cognitive function
11. Functional Fitness: It enhances your ability to perform everyday activities, such as lifting, bending, and carrying
12. Enhanced Sleep: Regular exercise, including resistance training, can promote better sleep quality
13. Chronic Disease Management: It can assist in managing conditions like arthritis, back pain and heart disease.
14. Longevity: Strength training has been associated with a longer, healthier life
15. Improved Body Image and Self-esteem: Achieving fitness and strength goals can positively impact your self-image and self-esteem
In my opinion, there is nothing better if your priority is longevity.
