If you’ve spent years on and off diets, losing a bit, gaining it back, starting again Monday,you already know: quick fixes don’t stick.They might feel exciting at first. There’s usually a shiny promise. A new plan. A bold claim. And if you’re feeling low in confidence or frustrated with your body, it’s easy to grab onto something that tells you this will finally work.But if you’re honest, has any of it worked long term?

When Hannah first stepped into Function Fitness back in Autumn 2022, she was settling into a new area and looking to stay active. But what she didn’t expect was that a surfing accident would completely derail her fitness journey.

If you’ve ever found yourself googling “why am I always tired” or “why can’t I stick to a routine,” you’re not alone.And if the answers you’ve come across have ever made you feel like you’re failing somehow… you’re not alone in that either.Because here's the truth most fitness plans skip over:You're not broken.You're burnt out.There’s a difference. And it matters.

So, you’ve been on holiday.You’ve eaten differently, moved differently (maybe not at all), slept at weird times, and maybe even had mojitos for breakfast. And now you’re back, and wondering how to “get back on track.”Here’s the truth: there is no “track.” There’s just your routine. The one that works for you, that helps you feel good, and that doesn’t come with guilt or punishment attached.

One of the most common things I hear from people who walk through the doors at Function Fitness is a familiar worry: after missing a few sessions, they say, “I’ve messed it all up, haven’t I?” It’s a feeling many of us know all too well. This kind of all-or-nothing thinking can be one of the biggest obstacles to progress in fitness and in life.

Here’s the truth: no one needs to know exactly what I ate on holiday.But I’ll tell you anyway, because it’s probably not what you’d expect from a nutrition coach. Yes, I had pizza. Yes, there were ice creams. And yes, mojitos were involved (more than one).
