Decision fatigue is real🤯

In a world where we’re constantly bombarded with marketing, social media, conflicting health advice, and the latest “must-have” solution, it’s no wonder so many women feel overwhelmed

Add work, kids, partners, ageing parents, household responsibilities, and trying to look after yourself, and suddenly deciding what to eat, when to exercise, and how to stay healthy can feel like just another job on the never-ending to-do list

That’s where StudioHR comes in

You don’t need to spend hours wondering which workout is best, what diet to follow, whether you should be doing cardio or weights, or trying to piece together information from the internet. We take the guesswork out of it and give you a clear, personalised plan based on your goals

Whether your focus is weight loss, improving your health, building strength, increasing energy, or preparing for a specific performance goal, we have options to suit you

Our women-only small group training classes are capped at just 6 women, so you get plenty of coaching, support, and accountability without feeling lost in a crowd. We offer over 20 classes each week, focusing on strength, core, mobility, flexibility, and fitness

For those wanting even more personalised support, our 1-on-1 personal training provides a completely customised approach tailored to your needs, injuries, experience level, and goals

And because what happens outside the gym matters too, our nutrition coaching helps you build sustainable habits that support long-term weight loss, better health, improved energy, and performance, without restrictive diets or cutting out your favourite foods

Sometimes the best decision you can make is letting someone else guide the process

All you need to do is show up

We’ll take care of the rest💕

Hello my lovelies,

I have some exciting news! 🤩

From this week, you’ll be seeing a lot more of Michelle around the Studio

Many of you have already trained with her, and I know how much you enjoy her sessions. Since joining StudioHR, nearly a year ago, she has become a valued part of our team, and I’m excited for her to step into an even bigger role within the business

The reason for this change is something I’m really excited about.

For the past 10 years, I’ve been wearing all the hats. Coaching, nutrition, programming, study, upskilling, admin, marketing, sales, social media, challenges, prizes, newsletters, consultations, collabs, lead gen, content creation, business planning, mum, cat mum, athlete…lets not even mention, a chronic illness that robs me of valuable hours each week, and while I absolutely love all of it (except not the chronic illness😵‍💫) there’s only so many hours in a day!

By having Michelle take on more of the coaching floor, it gives me the space to focus on growing and improving StudioHR in ways that simply haven’t been possible while I am ‘on the gym floor’

What this means for you!! More and better challenges, more education, better resources, more community events, more member perks, more exciting projects, more of what you want in the Studio and more opportunities for us to continue building the best women’s fitness community on the Hibiscus Coast

My goal has never been to create just another gym. It’s always been to create a place where women feel supported, educated, encouraged, and genuinely cared for. Having Michelle alongside me allows us to do even more of that

Don’t worry, I’m not disappearing!!! I’ll still be available for 1-on-1 personal training, nutrition coaching, classes and online coaching because helping women improve the strength, health and wellness will always be my #1 passion

I know you’ll join me in showing Michelle some extra love as she steps into a bigger role within the Studio 🙌🩷

🏆 May Challenge Winner - Zan! 🏆

A huge congratulations to Zan, our May Challenge Winner! 🎉

Our newest member Zan, jumped straight in, got involved, and embraced our Protein Challenge from day one.

Not only did she consistently focus on increasing her protein intake, and sharing her meals, she also shared what may just be the yummiest protein shake recipe we’ve ever seen 😋🥤 (you’ll find it in the comments)

We love seeing new members dive in, get involved, and make the most of everything our community has to offer. That’s exactly what Zan has done.

Zan We’re so happy you’re part of the StudioHR fam 🩷

💖 MEMBER OF THE MONTH 💖

A huge congratulations to Jocelyn, our May Member of the Month 💪💕

As a flight attendant, Jocelyn’s schedule is anything but predictable. Long-haul flights, changing time zones, disrupted sleep, and busy days would be enough reason for most people to skip training… but not Jocelyn!!

Whether it’s on her days off, before a flight, or straight after landing, she consistently makes time for her health and fitness. For Jocelyn, training isn’t just about looking good. It’s one of the key ways she manages her sleep, regulates her mood and energy levels, reduces stress, and stays strong and fit for the demands of her job.

What makes her stand out isn’t perfection, it’s consistency. She shows up, does the work, and understands that small actions repeated over time create incredible results.

We’re so proud of the strength, commitment, and positive attitude you bring to the Studio every week Jocelyn

No comp prep is smooth sailing, in fact, are you even on prep if you aren’t thrown at least 1 curve ball 🤣

In my case, a fall in the garden resulted in a small tear in my bicep tendon

What that means for me is I have to stop lifting anything that causes pain at the injury.. aka..all PT clients will be changing their own weights.. which is great for extra gains 💪

No upper body training for me at all for the next week or two maybe more

I can train legs as long as I load the bar with the other hand or better still, use pin loaded machines. No RDL’s or lunges with dumbbells or barbells 😭

There is Evidence to suggest that training legs heavy and with progression helps spare muscle in the upper body. But, Being in a calorie deficit means there will be some muscle loss 😭

Things I will be doing to promote healing
👯‍♀️ taking my supplements- collagen, magnesium, creatine, omega 3 and vitamin C
👯‍♀️ sleeping - 7-9hrs each night
👯‍♀️ eating my veges and protein
👯‍♀️ drinking all the water - dehydration slows healing
👯‍♀️ not stressing - meh 😑 control the controllables
👯‍♀️ doing what the physio tells me to do
👯‍♀️ doing my best, as always, to keep blood glucose in range - unchecked BG delays healing the most (the pic clearly shows yesterday was a freaking sh*t-show, 5 hypos in one day is not normal and even less fun)

Can I still compete? At 15 weeks out, as long as fat loss remains steady, and bicep recovery continues on track, I don’t see why not 😉👙

When your coach says jump, you ask how high…
You don’t say “that’s too high.”
You go away and figure out how to make it happen 👯‍♀️

This week my cardio increased… substantially

Trying to fit that in between work, posing practice, training, daily steps, diabetes management, meal prep, sleep, giving the cat’s & kids attention and keeping them alive, study and keeping the house at least semi sanitary is a tall order

But I can guarantee one thing… it will get done

As a fitness & nutrition coach who guides lifestyle clients toward their goals every day, trust me when I say I understand how overwhelming and sometimes, scary it can feel when someone is telling you what to do

But this is also what you signed up for

Growth doesn’t happen inside comfort zones

One of the most valuable things about having a coach is having someone who can see the bigger picture when you’re too deep in the process to see it yourself or you find yourself doing the same things over and over hoping for different results

Yes, you know your body

But a good coach learns your body too, if you let them!

Sometimes progress requires adjustments that don’t fully make sense to you yet, because your coach is looking at patterns, data, recovery, performance, consistency and the long game… not just how you feel in one moment

The clients who get the best results aren’t the ones constantly fighting the process

They’re the ones who lean in to the discomfort, let go of control and are willing to trust it long enough to let it work

Compprep coaching is extreme lifestyle coaching is not … but the principals are the same..

trust your coach
trust the process

The one question I get asked a lot from clients & potential clients is

How to I stay motivated ?

Motivation is a feeling
And feelings are unreliable

Some days you wake up feeling focused, inspired and ready to smash your workout, hit your protein, drink your water and tick every box

Other days you’re tired, stressed, hormonal, overwhelmed, busy, emotional, flat, sore, unmotivated or simply cannot be bothered

That’s normal

The problem is most people think successful people are motivated all the time

They’re not!!

They’ve just learned how to keep showing up even when motivation disappears

Habits, routines and standards are what actually create results…..this is Discipline not Motivation

You do not get fit because you felt inspired for 3 days

You get fit because you kept doing the basics consistently, long after the excitement wore off

The women who get results are not the ones going “all in” every Monday

They’re the ones doing the boring stuff repeatedly:
✔️ training even when they don’t feel like it
✔️ eating reasonably well most of the time
✔️ getting back on track quickly after bad days
✔️ staying consistent during stressful weeks
✔️ understanding that progress is built over months, not moods

You rarely feel motivated sitting on the couch thinking about exercising

But once you start moving, motivation often follows

This is why relying on motivation alone keeps people stuck in the cycle of:
“start strong → lose motivation → quit → restart later.”

Real progress comes from building a lifestyle where certain behaviours become non-negotiable, whether you feel motivated or not!!

This morning I did not feel motivated to practice my posing, simply because I am not good at it… but the only way to get good, is to practice

discipline got me getting those heels on this morning!
