There’s a new wave sweeping across the fitness world, one that’s moving beyond dumbbells and treadmills. More Kenyans are discovering that fitness can be fun, flexible, and social! From cycling crews cruising through Karura Forest to pickleball players taking over local courts, these activities are proving that exercise doesn’t have to feel like punishment for […]
Burnout doesn’t arrive all at once. It creeps in when the scales tip too far, too much work, too much responsibility, too much training, too little time. At first, you might think you’re just tired, just stressed, just overbooked. But before long, the spark that once fueled you has turned into smoke, and that smoke […]
Movement is built into the fabric of life. Birds don’t debate whether to fly. Fish don’t negotiate with the water before they swim. And humans, though we’ve built lives around chairs, cars, and screens we are hardwired to run, walk, climb, and move. It’s not just biology; it’s survival, health, and purpose. In today’s sedentary […]

Let’s be honest. Most of us love our jobs (or at the very least, we love payday). But every now and then, I catch myself daydreaming about what life would look like if my employer really leaned into employee wellness. In today’s fast-paced work environment, wellness programs have become more than just “nice-to-have” perks. They’re […]
For many new clients, weight loss feels like the only way to measure progress. But let me set the record straight, the number on the scale is just a fraction of the real transformation happening in your body and mind. It rarely tells the full story. Far too often, people give the scale too much […]
Lately, I’ve seen a lot of buzz online asking whether women (and even men) should ditch cardio and focus more on strength training—especially as we age. And as someone who has been coaching people in fitness for over 20 years, I get it. Trends come and go, but one question always remains: “Should I do […]
Ever feel like your body’s holding onto fat like it’s saving for a rainy day? You’re not alone—and no, your metabolism isn’t broken, lazy, or out to get you. In fact, it’s working all the time, even while you’re asleep, scrolling your phone, or claiming you’re “just resting your eyes” mid-Netflix. Metabolism is your body’s […]
Let’s settle this once and for all: Your abs were not designed just for beach photos. That six-pack might turn heads, but the real power of your core goes far beyond looking good in swimwear. You learned everything you needed to know about your core before you could even walk. Babies don’t do crunches. They […]
Been glued to your desk for hours? Your glutes aren’t thrilled about it. In fact, they’ve probably clocked out—overstretched, underused, and wondering if you’ve forgotten they exist. When the glutes go offline, your pelvis tilts, your spine complains, and before you know it, you’re walking around like you’re twice your age.

Just don’t wait until you need a search party to find it.
