19 years old ➡️ 37 years old. 🥹🏃‍♀️❤️

Tomorrow I run my first ever UK half marathon… and looking back at these photos tonight feels absolutely crazy.

The last time I ran a half marathon was July 2008 at Camp Souter in Afghanistan — 21km at 6,000 feet.

I was 19 years old, serving in the Army… and somehow ran it in 1 hour 52 minutes! 😮‍💨🔥

Now, 18 years later, I’m 37. I’m a wife, a mum of two, a business owner, and life looks VERY different to what it did for that 19-year-old girl in these pictures.

And tomorrow, I get to stand on the start line of my first half marathon on UK soil. 🥹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Looking at these photos makes me realise just how much life has happened between these two races.

Tomorrow I’d LOVE to chase that younger version of me and her 1:52… 👀😂🔥

But whatever that clock says when I cross the finish line, getting back out there 18 years later already means so much.

19-year-old me set the time…
37-year-old me is coming for it. 😮‍💨🔥

Let’s see what tomorrow brings. 🏃‍♀️❤️

Michelle Elder 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨🔥🔥🔥🔥

THERE SHE IS THOUGH!!! 👏🏼👏🏼

What an UNBELIEVABLE transformation!! 🔥

Michelle shows up, puts the work in and absolutely SMASHES it every single time. Her strength has gone through the roof, her discipline is incredible and when she sets her mind to something, she gets it DONE! 💪🏼

She’s also such a brilliant team player — always getting involved, supporting everyone around her and bringing great energy to the sessions. 🧡

And this is exactly what CONSISTENCY looks like. These results haven’t come from one quick fix — Michelle has smashed a few bootcamps, kept showing up, kept putting the work in and STILL enjoyed her life along the way.

Because that’s what it’s all about… balance! 👏🏼 You can work hard towards your goals, get stronger, feel amazing AND still have a life!

Michelle, you’ve done absolutely UNREAL 🔥🔥🔥
Be proud of yourself because the hard work is showing!!

ROLL ON THE NEXT ONE!! ☺️👏🏼💪🏼🧡

🔥🔥 KIRSTY!!!! 🔥🔥

The proof is RIGHT HERE! 👏🏼👏🏼

You genuinely go above and beyond every single bootcamp. Your strength, grit and determination are amazing to watch, and seeing you grow in so many ways — physically, mentally and in confidence — is exactly what this is all about! 🧡💪🏼

You turn up, you work HARD, you push yourself and you keep going even when it gets tough… and these pictures show exactly what consistency can do! 🔥

The difference is incredible, Kirsty. You should be SO proud of yourself because I certainly am! 🥹🧡

Although… maybe just a little less moaning next bootcamp please 😂😝💪🏼 (Wouldn’t be Kirsty without it though!)

Keep doing what you’re doing — you are absolutely SMASHING IT! 🚀🔥

🔥 THIS is what consistency looks like! 🔥

This lovely client of mine has absolutely SMASHED two bootcamps and has already signed up for her THIRD! 👏🏼🧡

She wasn’t sure about letting me share her progress at first, but she’s now kindly allowed me to post these AMAZING results while keeping her anonymous — because these results deserve to be celebrated!! 😍🔥

She shows up, puts the work in and gives every session her all. She’s even one of my 6AM crew 🌅💪🏼 — getting up early, getting it done and starting her day STRONG!

And just LOOK at the difference!! 👏🏼🔥 Not only physically, but her strength and confidence have come on massively, and that’s what makes me even prouder.

Two bootcamps down… number THREE incoming! 🚀

Keep going — you are absolutely smashing it and you should be SO proud of yourself! 🧡💪🏼

🔥 THIS is why you push past the “what if I can’t?” 🔥

When my lovely client first came to me months ago, she told me she had never stepped foot in a gym before. She was nervous, unsure of it all and didn’t have confidence in herself or what her body was capable of.

There were all those thoughts so many people have at the beginning…

“What if I can’t do it?”
“Am I good enough?”
“What if I’m not as fit or strong as everyone else?”

Fast forward to NOW… and honestly, what a transformation. 🥹👏🏼

She is now one of my strongest clients. She’s confident with weight training, she knows what she’s doing, she pushes herself and she just keeps getting stronger and stronger. 💪🏼🔥

And physically… JUST LOOK AT HER!!! 😍

She has lost ONE STONE in this bootcamp alone! 🤯🔥 But the message she sent me means just as much — telling me she finally feels proud of herself and recently felt more confident wearing a dress than she ever has before. ❤️

THAT is what this is about.

Not just losing weight. Not just changing how your body looks. It’s walking into something terrified and, months later, realising you became the person you once wondered if you were capable of becoming.

I am SO, SO proud of you. ❤️ Keep going — because you are absolutely smashing it!!!!

🔥 TAMMY!!! 🔥

This is what commitment, consistency and determination looks like! 👏🏼🧡

Tammy has absolutely smashed it. Even after long, stressful days at work, she STILL turns up, puts the work in and gives her sessions everything she’s got. No excuses, no giving up — just getting it done. 💪🏼

And these pictures speak for themselves!! 😍🔥 You can see such a difference through her waist, stomach, back and overall shape — but what I love most is knowing how hard she has worked to get here.

Results don’t come from being perfect. They come from showing up again and again, especially on the days when you could easily talk yourself out of it.

Tammy, you should be SO proud of yourself. 🥹🧡 Your dedication has paid off massively and we’re nowhere near finished yet!

Consistency really does change everything. 🔥💪🏼

SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO LOOK BACK TO REALISE JUST HOW FAR YOU’VE COME… 🔥🔥🔥

Our Hayley!! 😍💪🏼

These pictures speak for themselves. What a transformation — but this didn’t happen by accident.

She put the hard work in.
She stayed consistent.
She changed her eating habits.
She stayed focused.
And most importantly… she kept going. 👏🏼🔥

When you have a goal, there are times when you need to really lock in and give it your all. That doesn’t mean you have to live like that forever.

Once you’ve built those habits and made the changes you wanted to make, it’s about finding balance. Enjoy the meals out. Have the treats. Go on the nights out. Enjoy your holidays. LIVE YOUR LIFE! 🧡

Because fitness should add to your life, not take over it.

But if you want change, you have to be prepared to make changes — and Hayley is proof of exactly what can happen when you do. 💪🏼🔥

Absolutely smashing it Hayley. Never forget how far you’ve come! 🧡👏🏼

CLARE 😀💪🏼🔥

Everyone has different goals, and for Clare, one of those goals has been getting STRONGER and that’s exactly what she keeps doing! 🔥

Her strength has improved SO much. She’s lifting heavier, pushing herself harder and continuing to challenge herself every single week. 💪🏼

Because progress isn’t always about becoming smaller or watching the scales go down.

Strong isn’t just how you look , it’s what your body can DO. 🔥

Body confidence is about so much more than what you see in the mirror too. It’s about feeling good within yourself, feeling capable, feeling strong and being proud of what your body can achieve. 🧡

And I think that last picture says it all 😂😍 THAT SMILE!!

Clare keeps showing up, putting the work in and getting stronger both physically and mentally, and I absolutely LOVE seeing it.

Keep smashing those goals Clare! 💪🏼🔥🧡

✨ STEPH’S PROGRESS 👏🏼❤️ ✨

Steph has done absolutely AMAZING!! 🔥

She smashed a Bootcamp, had a little break… then came back — and now I don’t think she’s ever leaving us again 😂🤣❤️

And just LOOK at the difference in these photos!! 👏🏼 You can see such a change through her waist, tummy, back and overall shape — she’s looking stronger, leaner and more confident. 💪🏼🔥

But my favourite difference? HER FACE. 🥹❤️

Look at that smile in her after photo! You can genuinely see how much happier and more confident she looks, and that means just as much as any physical transformation.

Steph is also a busy mum to two beautiful girls, loves all things crafty and is always making something! She also makes the yummiest home-cooked meals… and we can’t forget her coconut balls 🤤🥥 MY FAVOURITE! 😂😍

This is what consistency looks like. You don’t have to be perfect, you just have to keep coming back, keep showing up and keep putting the work in.

So proud of you Steph ❤️ Keep absolutely smashing it — we’re not letting you leave again anyway 😂🤣💪🏼

🚨 20.8LBS DOWN. 20 INCHES GONE. 🚨

And THIS is why I will forever preach CONSISTENCY. 👏🔥

Terri has been training at Empowered for around 5 months after having her beautiful twin boys, and just LOOK at what she has achieved. 😭🧡

✨ 20.8lbs lost in total
✨ 20 inches lost overall
✨ 13.8lbs lost in this bootcamp ALONE
✨ 13 inches lost in this bootcamp ALONE

Absolutely UNREAL. 🤯👏

But here’s the important part…

Don’t do one bootcamp and think that’s where the journey ends. Yes, you can have an incredible transformation in 8 weeks — Terri has literally just proved that — but consistency is what keeps that progress moving.

Keep showing up. Keep training. Keep making those small choices. Keep going even when life is busy.

And the part I’m probably most proud of? It’s not even something you can fully see in these photos.

Terri told me she “never in a million years” thought she’d see her body change in ways she’d only ever dreamed of. 🥹

She’s not only changed physically — mentally she’s in such a different place too.

She’s found an amazing group of genuine friends through Empowered. Women who support her, notice her wins, encourage her and make her feel safe.

No judgement. No feeling like you don’t belong. Just a group of people wanting to see each other WIN. 🫶🏻🧡

Terri, you should be unbelievably proud of yourself. You’ve worked for every single bit of this transformation — and the best thing is…

YOU’RE NOT DONE YET. 👀🔥

Imagine what another 5 months of consistency could do. 🧡🖤

Stronger Together. Empowered Always.
