• Crossfit culture and exercise through pregnancy with Hope Hudson
    Apr 18 2023

    The fashion industry couldn't be further from the fitness industry, but Hope Hudson successfully made the transition from one to another and is thriving as a very successful and highly knowledgable PT working online, with a growing following.

    Her straight talking, no-nonsense attitude with an aptitude for making fitness seem so much less complicated through her instagram posts really make her so personable and easy to relate to. She chatted to us about how she's adapted her training, eating and managed to work through the start of her first pregnancy, her love of Crossfit, how the stigma of 'go hard' has developed since the sport first began and the wonderful community aspect of it.

  • Coping with Christmas with Amy & Kim
    Nov 21 2022

    Christmas is a time for fun and spending time with loved ones - but it can also be stressful. The pressure to look good, to enjoy all of the delicious food and drink but immediately embark on a 'new year new me' fitness regime come January 1st. The all or nothing mentality often sets in with those stuck firmly in diet culture 'I have 2 weeks to eat anything and everything them its back to being strict' and even the fear of comments and criticism from family and friends around our body size and eating habits.

    So how do we get through the festive season? In this short episode, Amy & Kim discuss just how to cope with the pressure of the Holidays.
