The Exercise Lady

When people ask me what I do, I've now started saying I have multiple "hats", a Group Fitness Instructor hat, a Personal Trainer hat and a Coach hat. But I also have a "just me" hat which really believes that exercise science works for so many problems and when you embrace it and prioritize it in your life, it can really change you inside and out. And that's a feeling that's amazing. This male client has been on his journey of real progress, and I get such a sense of satisfaction seeing this change in people which makes a real difference to their life.

Results don't come from workouts alone. They come from structured programming + coaching working together.

The Program provides the roadmap. Coaching provides the adjustments, accountability, progression and expertise.

That's where real change happens.

One month in - stronger, building muscle, sleeping better... and just getting started.

This is why Coaching matters…. It’s not just a program. It’s guidance, support, education, adjustments and knowing your Coach has your back every step of the way. That’s how you get real transformation.

I’m so grateful to Malcolm at Brand Us for my new apparel printing. A sneak peak as I head out the door to work this morning. 💚👍💪

I’m just wondering how many of you are gym members?

This story brings me a great deal of fulfilment in my work when I can change people's lives when they ask for help.

Client story – shared with permission

“When I started working with Michaela, I was exercising a lot and very fit, but I couldn’t lose weight. Now looking back I was not very strong, nor did I really know much about exercising properly despite regularly going to the gym for many years and often getting injured.

Over the last two years, I’ve lost 18kg, my strength has increased more than I ever expected, my cholesterol levels are back within the normal range. I’m no longer a size XL. I’m a comfortable M.

What made the difference wasn’t just exercise – it was having structure, the flexibility to fit it into my schedule, progression and someone who could teach me how to train safely, at the right intensity and sustainably for me and my life.

This hasn’t been a quick fix. I’ve followed nutrition meal plans in the past. I could follow the plan and get the weight off, but then the weight would slowly creep on again. Too much of the ‘good life’. Michaela has taught me how to eat for the long term being able to have everything. It’s been sustainable, realistic and empowering. People are regularly telling me I’m looking great.”

This client has chosen to remain anonymous, but their journey which they are still continuing with me, is a perfect example of what consistent, well-structured training can do over time, accompanied with one-to-one coaching. A structured program on its own is not enough to get real results.

This is exactly how Michaela’s Method is designed: no shortcuts – but long-term results that improves strength, fitness, health and changes lives.

Less randomness. More intention.

The body responds when training has direction.

Is 2026 your time to get help with that direction rather than the DIY method?
