Say goodbye to feeling overwhelmed and unmotivated and hello to a Fit and Fearless YOU!
Fit and Fearless is a flexible, realistic health and fitness program designed to support women through important life changes including pregnancy, post natal recovery, motherhood and into menopause.
"Fit and Fearless with Mel is what my soul has been searching for. The program is affordable, yet packed full with a crazy amount value that promotes holistic wellbeing.
Feeling part of a community and having meaningful connections develop with other members has also brought a lot of meaning and joy to the time we spend together. There is no judgement, no shame, but embracing of all women wherever we are at in our movement journey. For the first time in my life I have been consistent with movement! My confidence in my body and what it can do has increased. I have noticed a significant improvement in my strength and functional mobility. And I have found that I am not just doing movement because I know I should, but because I want to. Instead of movement being a punishment or a chore, it is a much loved resource in my well-being toolkit."

"With Mel's support I found all the answers I needed. She guides you through each exercise and explains how to avoid injury. This group will give you the confidence you need to exercise safely!"
- Laura
"Biggest wins for me are the convenience of working out in my own home but not alone, never having to worry about the kids just to be able to do a 30 minute workout. And the cheer squad of other women helping each other achieve goals."
- Erin
"Support from a woman who gets mum life and isn't yelling don't stop, instead encouragement to listen to your body and build your fitness over time."
- Janet
"I love the routine that the program has brought to my week. I know that I can do the live classes and have access to recordings when life gets busy or I just feel the need to move. There is no judgement and I can come as I am.

Our low impact, strength focused workouts are aimed at helping women at various stages of life to return to exercise safely.
They are suitable during pregnancy, for new mums and modified for any injuries. If you are unsure with any workout, I'm here to answer your questions in the Facebook Community and offer appropriate modifications.
The Fit and Fearless Program is designed for women who want:
* Support to move their bodies through each stage of life: pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood, and into menopause
* Quick and effective full-body workouts
* A focus on technique and progressively challenging the body
* Strategies to manage and overcome pain and symptoms
* A strong and capable core and pelvic floor
* A holistic approach to movement, health and wellness
* To be surrounded by a community of supportive women
* Encouragement to rest and strategies to reconnect with your body
* Access to workout recordings when life gets in the way
* Weigh-ins, body measurements, before and after photos, or diet plans. (I want to be upfront right here, that if you want to focus on losing weight only, this may not be the program for you.)
* To wait for a number on the scales or your pant’s size to tell you your value.
* To push or train hard to the point of pain or exhaustion
* No excuses training mindsets
* Quick-fixes
* A focus on traditionally masculine training methods that disregard the female experience.
Absolutely! The modifications for your post natal recovery are alongside the pregnancy modifications so you just switch columns to find the best options for you. If you share that bub has arrived in the facebook group, I can also help with any questions or specific concerns to guide you back at your own pace. Remember the community is here to support you.
If you join during pregnancy, you can continue your membership during that 6 week period. While you may not be completing the full strength workouts during that time, there is a guide for activities you can do in the first 6 weeks to support your post natal recovery.
I would recommend that if you are joining for the first time before that 6 week check up, that you do follow the guidelines for the first 6 weeks and gradually begin the monthly strength program. I will be in the Facebook community to guide you into the program.
Absolutely Yes! I cover information for the foundation work of the core and pelvic floor but also addresses some of the challenges we face as busy mums with health conditions that may arise throughout our life as a woman.
And if you are heading towards that menopause stage, I am here to support you through this stage too.
The equipment required is simple and at times can be completely optional. You can also improvise with other items in your household.
Equipment used in workouts:
* 2 x 3-5kg dumbbells
* Large resistance band and mini band
* Bench or chair for modifications
* Exercise mat for your comfort
YES!! You are the kind of woman I want to join the most. I love helping women find how capable their bodies are and guide you to build strength gradually.
Generally, the workouts take a maximum of 30-40 minutes including a warm up and cool down. They can be shorter for workouts where you choose to complete less sets or rounds. Some of our workouts can be split into two mini workouts so also great for time poor women.
You may get some minor muscle soreness when you first start working out. You may feel the worst in the 24-48 hour period following your workout but it will get better. Remember - Pain does not equal damage. The more consistent you are with your workouts, the easier it will get and less pain you will experience.
Absolutely!! I encourage your whole family to get involved and exercise together. One of the workouts has my 7 year old son with me. Children can do the exercises without weights or with small weights that suits their strength. Husbands/partners can join in too and don't need to pay or register for the program.
When you register, you will create logins for the Fearless Health Website. Once logged in you can access any purchased courses, including the Fit and Fearless Program. The workouts are stored within the program and you can access the website from any device connected to the internet.
