Working with Holly and Josie has been amazing, I've never kept to a fitness program like this before, the reason is because I love it, I enjoy working with weights and love that I can do it from my own home with Holly's guidance. Of course, the weight loss is great, but I also feel better mentally, have more energy and clearer skin and healthier hair too. I've learnt so much about nutrition and enjoy food more than ever.

Strong and Nourished is a group coaching programme, giving you expert guidance, motivation, and structure while still providing a level of personal attention.
When you join, you'll benefit from bi-weekly one-to-one check-ins via email, where you'll receive individual feedback, coaching, and tailored support. While this isn’t a one-to-one coaching programme with private calls, you’ll still get direct input from both me (your nutrition coach) and your personal trainer throughout the 7 weeks.
Incredible Value for Money
The entire 7-week programme is just ÂŁ270 -Â a fraction of the cost of working one-to-one with a nutrition coach and personal trainer, which typically costs:
âś… ÂŁ400 - ÂŁ600 per month for nutrition coaching
âś… ÂŁ200 - ÂŁ500 per month for personal training
That means working with both experts privately could easily cost ÂŁ1,500+ over seven weeks. Instead, Strong and Nourished gives you expert coaching, structured workouts, meal plans, and community support - all for just ÂŁ270.
💡 You’ll get expert-led results at a price that makes coaching accessible - without compromising on quality or support.
