    Behind the scenes

    LET’S CONNECT ON INSTAGRAM

    2026 feels like the year of doing less… better. L 2026 feels like the year of doing less… better.

Less extremes.
Less starting again.
More consistency that actually fits around life.

I’m Elle — a personal trainer who believes fitness should support the rest of your life, not compete with it.
No body fixing. No punishment. Just movement that helps you feel capable in whatever else you love doing.

More of this energy in 2026 🤍

    For the first time ever, I’m not starting again in For the first time ever, I’m not starting again in January.
I’m carrying on.

I learned to swim as an adult.
I went from clinging to the wall, panicking in the deep end, to now actually - just about lol - swimming lengths.
Messy. Slow. Un-glamorous. Progress nonetheless.

So 2026 isn’t a “new year, new me” situation.
It’s a keep going situation.

Next stop: Swim Serpentine – 2 miles 🏊‍♀️
Not rushed. Not perfect. Just earned.

If you want to follow a real, non-linear journey of building confidence, stamina and doing hard things without burning out — hit follow and come along for the swim.

We’re just getting started.

    I spent years thinking fitness had to look a certa I spent years thinking fitness had to look a certain way.

More discipline. More intensity. Fewer off days.

Turns out, the version that actually sticks is quieter.

It’s training around real life.

It’s learning new skills as an adult.

It’s stopping before burnout instead of after it.

This page is me documenting what fitness looks like when perfection isn’t the goal — consistency is.

If you’re done trying to be “on it” all the time, you’re very welcome here 🤍

    Suddenly it’s December… and you realise you haven’ Suddenly it’s December…
and you realise you haven’t been in the baby pool for a long time.

I restarted swimming lessons in summer 2024 as a nervous adult who wasn’t confident in the deep end. Progress came quicker than I expected — but confidence still took its time.

Now it’s December 2025 and I’m back in lane swimming, holding my own in the medium lane 🙌🏾🏊🏾‍♀️

Calm. Patient. Capable.
Still learning.

This is what progress actually looks like — not dramatic, just consistent.

Next goal: Swim Serpentine. Two miles.

If you’re rebuilding confidence in your body — in the water or out of it — you’ll feel at home here. Follow along 🥰

    London Marathon. The end. And that was always the London Marathon.
The end.

And that was always the plan.

I trained well, ran the marathon, then I stopped. Not because I “fell off”… but because rest was the point.

Since then it’s been a mix of short runs, parkrun walks, one very satisfying “Strava said no” run, and doing exactly what felt right at the time.

Here’s your reminder:
You don’t stop being a runner because you’re not training for something.
You don’t lose your identity because you take a break.
And you don’t need to earn your way back.

Still a runner.
Still moving.
Still allowed to change the pace.

If this looks like your year too — you’re good. Trust me. 🫶🏽
